2000 Euros Per Square Meter in “Volga”: Local Residents Move to Suburbs
The rise in prices for apartments in Durrës has reached a historic peak, forcing locals toward the suburbs as international investors dominate the city center.
In prestigious areas like “Shetitoria Volga” and the city center, prices have hit €2,000 per square meter. This surge is primarily driven by foreign investors from Italy, the Czech Republic, and Poland who are converting properties into high-yield Airbnb rentals.
The 4-Year Price Leap
| Location | 2020 Price (avg) | 2026 Price (avg) | Increase |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shetitoria Volga | €800 - €1,000 | €2,000+ | 100%+ |
| City Center | €600 - €800 | €1,100 - €1,500 | ~85% |
| Durrës Beach Line | €400 - €600 | €1,100 - €1,300 | 120%+ |
Agent Insight
"There is constant growth in the center of Durrës—at least 20% every year for the last 4 years. In Golem and Mali e Robit, there is practically no more space for new construction."
— Florian Tahiri, Real Estate Specialist
