Vlora has become one of the most popular cities in southern Albania, not just for holidays but also for long-term living. With its calm vibe, sea views, and year-round activity, it’s attracting more and more expats, retirees, and remote workers.
If you’re thinking of moving here, here’s what renting looks like in 2025.
Average Rent Prices
Based on our current data, here are the average monthly rental prices in Vlorë:
- One-bedroom apartment in the city center: €338.87
- One-bedroom apartment outside the center: €364.62
- Two-bedroom apartment in the city center: €458.89
- Two-bedroom apartment outside the center: €493.75
Most people looking for a one or two-bedroom apartment will find that living in the city center is actually more affordable than outside. The higher prices outside the center may reflect new developments or properties closer to the sea.
Living in the City Center
The city center is a great option if you want to be close to shops, cafés, and the sea promenade. Everything is within walking distance, and the pace of life is slow but active.
Living Outside the Centre
Areas outside the centre may offer more space or newer buildings, but prices are sometimes higher.
Should You Rent or Invest?
If you’re new to Albania or still figuring out where you want to stay long-term, renting is the best option. It gives you flexibility, and with monthly rents for one-bedrooms around €300–500, it’s easy to test out life in Vlorë without rushing into a property purchase.
However, if you’re thinking long-term and have the budget, buying might make sense, especially if you’re eyeing high-season rental potential or want to retire here. Just be aware: prices vary widely. For example, a one-bedroom apartment in the centre costs about €141,517 on average, while outside the centre it jumps to €178,940.

A more relaxed lifestyle near the sea
