Rentals in St Andrew's

The stretch of housing between Swieqi and Pembroke, close enough to St Julian’s to walk in and far enough out to sleep. It is unglamorous and largely residential, which is exactly why people who work in the entertainment district often end up living here instead.

The lifestyle

This is a place people live rather than visit, and it shows: the streets are residential, there is little to do on them, and evenings are quiet. The main road through carries real traffic at peak times and the flats along it are noticeably noisier than those behind. It is a car-first area for anything beyond groceries, though the bus down to St Julian’s and Sliema is frequent. Construction has been steady here as older villas are replaced by blocks, which is worth asking about at a viewing.

Property in St Andrew's

A mix of low apartment blocks, maisonettes and older townhouses, with newer construction appearing steadily. Ground-floor maisonettes with a yard are the category families ask for and the one in shortest supply. Flats tend to be larger for the money than in Sliema or St Julian’s, and parking, while not easy, is possible in a way it is not closer in. Furnished and unfurnished both occur here, which is less common on the coast.
