Our Neighborhoods
While those of us who live here in this city of only 150,000 people love that our home mimics a small European village— much of our town is walking distance— we actually have 81 postal codes that each represent a different neighborhood, many of which are anchored by 27 of their patron saint’s church. Probably 95% of recorded real estate transactions occur within only about 15 to 18 of these neighborhoods, however.
The beauty of our village is that each neighborhood can offer a distinctive flavor and environment and for Buyers, it is important to find the area that resonates most with you! That’s why we’ve focused here on 13 of the most popular neighborhood destinations among expat buyers. And while the editorial description is helpful, you’ll love the videos of each— the drone footage is astounding, the streetscapes are amazing!
Visit a few options and then drop us a line on your favorite— we’ll have several options available in each neighborhood that we’d love to show you!
