Property for sale in Bar: what the municipality covers
Bar is more than one town. The municipality takes in a long stretch of the southern coast, from Sutomore in the north to Dobre Vode and Utjeha in the south, and reaches inland over the Rumija range to the shore of Lake Skadar. It belongs to the Bar and Ulcinj region. Within one municipality you can choose between a flat in a working town, a holiday house near a beach and a plot among olive groves.
The offer reflects that range. Apartments, houses and land each make up a large share of the listings, with a smaller choice of villas and commercial premises. In Budva, by comparison, apartments clearly dominate.
Bar town: a port that lives all year
The town grew around the port, the largest in Montenegro, with ferry connections to Bari in Italy. Bar is also the last stop of the railway from Belgrade. Much of the centre was rebuilt after the 1979 earthquake, so the streets are wide and the blocks are modern. The seafront promenade runs past the marina and the palace of King Nikola at Topolica.
Shops, schools, a hospital and public offices work outside the summer season too. That is why Bar suits families who want to live by the sea all year, not only for a few summer weeks. Flats in the centre and in neighbourhoods such as Šušanj, Polje and Zeleni Pojas are listed under apartments in Bar town centre.
Stari Bar and the olive groves
Inland, at the foot of Rumija, stand the ruins of Stari Bar, the old fortified town with its gate, churches and aqueduct. The slopes around it are covered in olive trees, and the old olive at Mirovica is one of the best known trees in the country. Villages on the hills behind the town, such as Zupci, offer stone houses, larger gardens and quieter streets than the coast. The beach is a short drive away.
Sutomore and Šušanj: seaside homes
North of the centre, Šušanj has a long beach lined with pines and small apartment buildings. Past the Ratac headland comes Sutomore. Real estate in Sutomore is mostly holiday apartments and family houses close to the beach and a busy summer promenade. Both places work well for a holiday home with the services of Bar nearby.
Dobre Vode and Utjeha: the quieter south
The road towards Ulcinj passes Dobre Vode and Utjeha, smaller places with coves, olive groves and houses climbing the hillside. Here you will find apartments as well as houses with gardens and building plots. Property in Utjeha suits buyers who prefer a calm summer and a slower pace of life.
Crmnica and Lake Skadar
On the other side of the mountains, the municipality reaches the wine villages of Crmnica and the lake shore around Virpazar. This is rural Montenegro: vineyards, stone houses and fishing boats. Homes and plots in this area are grouped under real estate by Lake Skadar.
