A dense, busy town on the main road into Valletta, with one long high street and housing packed tightly around it. Hamrun is cheap, extremely central by road, and thoroughly local.
The lifestyle
Hamrun is loud, dense and busy, with heavy traffic along its length and very little parking. It has a strong identity and a lively high street, and almost nothing aimed at foreign residents. The housing behind the main road is quieter and includes some good older townhouses at low rents. It suits people who want to be central and pay little, and it does not suit anyone looking for calm, greenery or space.
Property in Hamrun
Older townhouses and apartments predominate, a good deal of it unmodernised. Rents are low and space is often surprising — old townhouses here can be large. Condition is the main variable and viewing matters. Sharing arrangements are common. Both furnished and unfurnished lets are found.
