Rental investment in Durres in 2026: key checks

Durres remains one of the most practical markets in Albania for buyers looking at mid-term and seasonal rental demand. Before purchasing, it is important to compare district quality, legal clarity, renovation scope, and realistic occupancy assumptions.

1. Compare beach area vs city center

The beach zone may offer stronger short-term demand in summer, while the city center can provide more stable year-round occupancy. The right choice depends on target tenant profile, building condition, and transport access.

• Check distance to the beach and public transport
• Review surrounding construction activity
• Estimate yearly occupancy, not just summer demand
• Compare service charges and maintenance costs
