Why the district matters 📍

The district you choose affects daily life: access to schools and healthcare, noise and traffic, proximity to the sea and parks, and long‑term property prospects. This guide focuses on practical advice to help you match a district to your lifestyle and budget.

Selection criteria

• Infrastructure: schools, kindergartens, shops, medical services.
• Transport: public transport availability and road connections.
• Noise level and building density.
• Proximity to the sea and green spaces.
• Safety and community feel.
• Cost of living and service availability.

Districts to consider 🏘️

City centre and the Boulevard

Benefits: maximum convenience — cafés, shops and seaside promenades. Ideal for those who want city life and everything within walking distance.

Drawbacks: higher tourist activity and seasonal noise. For permanent living, consider side streets or modern buildings with sound insulation.

Old Town

Appeals with historic architecture and atmosphere. Good for people who value culture and walkability, though streets can be narrow and parking limited.

New residential complexes and towers

Modern complexes often include amenities: security, parking, playgrounds and on‑site services. Good for families and people who want comfortable living with minimal maintenance. These complexes can also be attractive for rental investors.

Suburbs and coastal settlements (e.g., Gonio, Makhinjauri, Chakvi)

Advantages: quieter life, more space, closer to nature, often better value per square meter. Suitable for families and those seeking a calmer lifestyle.

Drawbacks: less walkable infrastructure and sometimes a need for a car for daily needs.

Advice by profile

• Family with children: prioritize nearby schools, parks and healthcare. Look for safe courtyards and community spaces.
• Remote worker: stable internet and a quiet environment are essential. Consider developments with communal workspaces or calm neighbourhoods near the centre.
• Retirees: access to medical services and a peaceful environment matter most. Suburbs with good transport links can be ideal.
• Investor: study new projects, high‑demand tourist zones and districts with planned infrastructure improvements.

Practical checklist ✅

• Visit the district at different times of day.
• Check proximity of shops, clinics and schools.
• Test transport routes and assess traffic patterns.
• Evaluate noise levels and air quality (nearby parks help).
• Talk to neighbours about living conditions.
• Consider rental potential if investing.
