While we may attribute the early market recovery to these fiscal and visa incentives, the real estate markets in Portugal have matured entirely independent of any incentives and offer investors an excellent opportunity to own a piece of this dynamic European country and all its lifestyle and cultural benefits.
Portugal offers an attractive place to live and work, with an open-door policy for internationals seeking a European base with great airlift, restaurants, rich culture and a mild climate within a cosmopolitan coastline, where English is widely spoken.
Lisbon
Lisbon has become a hub for the tech savvy and invites high skilled individuals to enjoy the lifestyle, whilst remaining very much in an “Alpha city”. Lisbon is well regarded for Its finance, commerce, arts, entertainment and tourism, not to mention the large expat communities and a multicultural offering.
The Algarve
The Algarve has quickly become home to many internationals with its beautiful European climate and stunning coastline. The Algarve is home to one of the most sought after resorts in Europe, called Quinta de Lago, which has long been a hotspot for the extremely wealthy to invest in real estate. The Algarve has expanded toward the east and west as it grows in popularity and is becoming even more of a tourist hotspot, offering both investors and home owners an opportunity to own real estate in this safe haven. With a coastline rich in natural beauty, health and fitness pursuits are plentiful and the relaxed lifestyle is excellent for those looking to find their perfect solo or family retreat.
