Flats for sale in Tunis

Buying a flat in the governorate of Tunis remains the benchmark property investment in Tunisia. The capital attracts local buyers and the diaspora alike, who see it as a safe haven: demand never lets up, driven by the scarcity of land on the northern coast and the prestige of neighbourhoods such as La Marsa, Carthage and Mutuelle Ville. Main home, pied-à-terre or buy-to-let, every plan finds its neighbourhood.

Houni, Tunisia's property listings portal, brings together flats for sale in Tunis published by private individuals, professionals and developers. Compare prices per square metre, spot the properties that match your budget and contact the sellers directly.

A market driven by the northern coast and scarce land

On the northern coast, building plots are becoming rare and prices show it: a flat in Jardins de Carthage, Ain Zaghouan or Berges du Lac 1 and 2 changes hands at some of the highest levels in the country, with strong appreciation potential and guaranteed rental demand in return. Sidi Bou Saïd and Carthage play the heritage and exceptional-setting card, while La Goulette still offers more accessible seaside opportunities.

Where to buy depending on your budget?

High-end and seafront

La Marsa is home to the upmarket residential complexes and diaspora buyers in search of a property facing the sea. Jardins de Carthage attracts executives and young families with well-designed recent developments. Lac 1 and 2 remain the first choice for a buy-to-let aimed at expatriates and company headquarters.

More affordable safe bets

El Menzah and Mutuelle Ville appeal with their established neighbourhoods, their clinics and their secondary schools: older stock there offers fine floor areas to renovate. Montplaisir and Bab Bhar interest investors betting on letting to young professionals. Le Bardo, served by the metro, shows prices per square metre well below the coast: an ideal gateway for a first purchase in the capital.

Making a success of your purchase in the capital

Before committing, insist on a clear land title and check the property's status with the land registry. Compare the prices of several properties in the same neighbourhood on houni.tn: in Tunis, the gap between two streets can be considerable. Finally, there is almost always room to negotiate, especially with older stock, where the property's real condition weighs on the final price.
