The lifestyle
Zejtun is an old Maltese town that has not been prettified, which means genuine character alongside ordinary streets and some neglect. It is quiet, residential and inexpensive, with a strong local community and few foreign residents. The distance to the northern business areas is significant and the commute slow at peak times. For anyone drawn to an old house with a courtyard and unwilling to pay Attard prices, it is one of the better-value places on the island.
Property in Zejtun
A good stock of houses of character and townhouses in and around the core, alongside apartments and maisonettes in the newer parts. Prices are low, and large old properties are attainable in a way they are not further north. Condition varies enormously and many older houses need work. Unfurnished lets are the norm.
Who is this area best for?
People wanting character
Old houses at prices that make restoration realistic.
Families
Space, schools and quiet at low rents.
Budget-conscious renters
Among the better value on the island.
Less suited to
Commuters north, and anyone wanting modern, low-maintenance housing.
