A town of houses, not only flats
Bar grew outwards rather than upwards. Away from the new centre, most people live in detached family houses with a yard, a vegetable patch or a few olive trees. That is why houses make up a large part of the property on offer here, more than in the resort towns further north.
Bar is lived in all year. The port, the railway to Belgrade and the town's offices, schools and markets keep it busy in January as well as in August. For a buyer, that means neighbours who stay, shops that stay open and a town that does not empty out after the season.
Where to look for a house in Bar
Town and the slopes above it
Neighbourhoods such as Topolica, Bjeliši and Polje are close to the seafront, the marina and King Nikola's Palace. Higher up, houses stand on terraces with a view over the town and the harbour.
Stari Bar and the olive belt
Inland, under the ruins of the old fortified town, the land is covered with olive groves. Bar is known for them: the Old Olive in Mirovica is among the oldest trees in Europe. Houses here are quieter, often stone built, with more land.
The coast north and south
Šušanj and Sutomore to the north, Dobre Vode and Utjeha to the south, are beach settlements with a mix of holiday homes and family houses. Čanj, past Sutomore, is smaller still.
What the offer looks like
You will find older houses that need renovation, finished family homes with gardens and newer houses with separate floors for guests. Plot size, road access and the paperwork for the land vary from one listing to the next, so check them early. If you want something larger, see the separate page with villas for sale in Bar.
