The Most Attractive Neighborhoods for Living in Podgorica

Team Real Estate in cooperation with daily newspaper Vijesti:

Podgorica, as the capital of Montenegro, has been attracting increasing attention from both local and foreign residents and investors in recent years. Its combination of modern urban development and traditional Montenegrin charm makes it an attractive destination for buying and renting real estate.

Below is a text outlining the advantages of the most sought-after neighborhoods in Podgorica.

Tološka Forest

Tološka Forest is one of the most beautiful places to live in Podgorica, offering the perfect balance between nature and urban life. Prestigious residential complexes are located nearby.

These complexes offer high-quality, newly-built apartments with modern amenities, ideal for families and individuals seeking a comfortable life. This part of Podgorica is characterized by its quiet and pleasant atmosphere, surrounded by nature, yet well-connected to all other parts of the city. Thanks to one of the most beautiful boulevards in Podgorica, Mihailo Lalić Boulevard, the center is within easy reach, while Baku Street connects it to the City Quarter. Key facilities necessary for everyday life, such as supermarkets, healthcare institutions, the "Štampar Makarije" primary school, Big Fashion shopping center, cafes, and restaurants, are all nearby.

The prices per square meter are higher than in most other parts of the city, which is not surprising given the neighborhood's popularity and quality of life. However, depending on how close the apartment is to the "forest" and whether it's an old or new building, the prices range from 2,200 to 2,800 euros per m².

Blocks 5, 6, and 9

Blocks 5 and 6 are among the most desirable neighborhoods, especially for families, thanks to numerous parks, playgrounds, and spacious green areas that provide a peaceful and relaxed living environment. These neighborhoods offer a quiet lifestyle with close proximity to all essential amenities. Compared to Tološka Forest, Blocks 5 and 6 offer more affordable prices, making them more accessible.

Nearby, you'll find the "Radojica Perović" primary school, a health center, pharmacies, kindergartens, restaurants, and markets, making life in these neighborhoods practical. However, for some potential residents, the main downside may be that many of the buildings are older, and therefore, they often require additional investments for renovation and modernization.

For those who prefer new construction but don't want to miss out on the key amenities that Blocks 5 and 6 offer, Block 9 is the perfect choice. This neighborhood provides a perfect balance between price and proximity to all key facilities, making it the golden middle for those looking for a modern and comfortable lifestyle. Prices in these neighborhoods range from 2,200 to 2,600 euros per m².

Preko Morače

Preko Morače is a neighborhood that has remained one of the most popular places to live due to its excellent location and pleasant atmosphere. Located near the city center, it allows for quick access to all key facilities, such as business zones, schools, hospitals, and shops, making everyday life practical and convenient. Despite its proximity to the urban core, Preko Morače stands out with its calmness and quiet, making it ideal for family life.

The neighborhood is surrounded by natural beauty, with the Morača River contributing to its unique charm. The proximity to green spaces further enhances the pleasant atmosphere and quality of living. The well-developed infrastructure, including paved streets, public transportation, and all necessary utilities, offers a high level of living standards. The only reason why this neighborhood is ranked third is because most of the buildings are older.

Real estate prices depend on whether the apartment is in its original condition or has been renovated, as well as whether the building has an elevator.

Zagorič

Zagorič, especially the part stretching from Vezirov Bridge to City Key, has become an attractive place to live for several reasons. Its favorable location provides excellent connectivity to the city center and easy access to public transportation. Nearby, you'll find the "Branko Božović" primary school, supermarkets, healthcare institutions, cafes, and restaurants, making everyday life convenient and comfortable.

This part of Zagorič offers a quieter ambiance, surrounded by natural beauty. On one side, the Morača River, and on the other, the Gorica Hill, contribute to a healthy living environment, far from the hustle and bustle of the city. The promenades along City Key further enrich this neighborhood, making it even more attractive to residents. Recognizing the potential of this location, investors have realized a large number of new residential buildings in recent years, and many are still under construction.

Prices in this part of the city vary depending on the location and whether the building is newer or of higher luxury.

Zabjelo

With new residential complexes and modern buildings, Zabjelo is becoming an increasingly attractive neighborhood to live in, especially the area around Ljubović Hill, which supports a healthy lifestyle. This neighborhood offers walking and jogging paths, perfect for those who enjoy a peaceful atmosphere.

At the same time, Zabjelo has good connectivity to the city center, thanks to easily accessible main roads, making daily commuting more convenient. The proximity to City Quarter and the Big Fashion shopping center further adds to the attractiveness of Zabjelo, allowing for quick access to various shops, restaurants, and entertainment options. Furthermore, the planned extension of Vojislavljević Boulevard will improve the connection to the coast, making it even more appealing to potential residents.

Prices per square meter in Zabjelo are more affordable compared to the central parts of the city, attracting buyers looking for more accessible living spaces. However, for those who prefer a more dynamic lifestyle with plenty of cafes, restaurants, and cultural content, Zabjelo might feel too quiet.

While there are modern new buildings, many older ones still require additional investment in renovation and maintenance. Prices in this part of the city range from 1,750 to 2,200 euros per m².

Which neighborhood to choose?

The choice of neighborhood depends on your priorities and budget. Tološka Forest offers a peaceful atmosphere with nature but has higher prices per square meter. Blocks 5 and 6 are ideal for families due to green areas, with more affordable prices, although the buildings often require renovation. Preko Morače offers good connectivity to the city center and a calm environment, but most of the buildings are older. Zagorič stands out for its natural setting, new residential buildings, and excellent connectivity. Zabjelo is an affordable neighborhood with good infrastructure and a peaceful atmosphere but has fewer new buildings.

Your choice depends on whether you're looking for tranquility, modernized spaces, or more affordable prices. Regardless of your needs, Podgorica has much to offer.
