Rentals in Paceville

Malta’s entertainment district, and a residential address at the same time. Almost everything written about Paceville is about the bars; what matters to somebody renting here is that it is also a dense, extremely well-connected pocket of flats a short walk from a great many of the island’s offices.

The lifestyle

Nobody should rent in Paceville without hearing it first. Thursday to Sunday the noise runs into the early morning and it is not the sort a closed window solves — it is people in the street rather than music through a wall. Which side of the block a bedroom faces changes the experience completely, and two flats in the same building can be very different places to sleep. Away from the core streets it settles quickly. Cleaning after weekends is visible, parking is close to impossible, and the people living here turn over constantly. What you get in exchange is the shortest commute in Malta and a place where nothing is ever shut.

Property in Paceville

Predominantly apartments, and a high proportion of the stock has been arranged for sharing — rooms let individually, communal kitchens, sometimes a bill-inclusive arrangement. There are also ordinary one and two-bedroom flats and some newer blocks with lifts and air conditioning. Furnished is the default and turnover is fast, so availability changes weekly. Anything on the quieter uphill edge, or with a terrace facing away from the centre, is asked after more than the plain seafront-adjacent units.
