2021 will be a year of recovery for the Roman real estate market, as Italy continues to battle against the COVID-19 pandemic. Although the virus has had a negative effect on the real estate market in Italy in general, with a drop in the number of sales, the luxury real estate market in Italy continues to thrive for the most part.Italy's capital city Rome is home to some of themost exclusive andsought-after luxury neighbourhoods in the country. So, if you're longing for a life of luxury in 2021, let's have a look at themost prestigious neighbourhoods in Rome with some help fromColdwell Banker Italy.
According to the experts atColdwell Banker's international real estate network, the particular dynamism of house prices in Rome is something that will stand out in 2021. It is also highlighted that themajority of enquiries receivedby Coldwell's Rome agencies concern homes that include outdoor spaces, as buyers are looking for more open spaces and fresh airas a result of the pandemic. Safe and private communal areas are also a strong point for luxury buyers, as is attention to energy efficiency.
Andrea Barbera, broker at Coldwell Banker Barbera Group International Real Estate, explains: "What we are seeing in the luxury real estate sectorat this stage is a very lively market. Properties positioned at the right price are selling rather quickly." She also added that in the luxury real estate market in Rome, there is actually a shortage of properties. "We arein a moment of scarcity of supply compared to demand. Undoubtedly, we are seeing an increasing focus on the home, understood as a rediscovery of living oriented towards improving daily well-being".
Alessandro Beddini, a broker at Coldwell Banker Prestige, adds more information regarding the location of Rome's most prestigiousneighbourhoods, and points towards a shift. In the past, the most exclusive areas to live inRome have been located in the centre of the city, but this is something that may be changing."As far as urban growth is concerned, the fastest growing areas are undoubtedly the semi-central ones. This expansion is due to the larger areas available for the construction of new homes and a more interesting market for builders themselves, who are thus able to optimise their investments and offer a product with a good quality/price ratio".
So what are the most popular luxury districts in Rome? Where do the rich live in Rome? As far as luxury real estate is concerned,the historic city centre of Rome, Aventine, and the Prati/San Pietro district where breathtaking views and the artistic and monumental beauties shineare the most popular areas for luxury buyers, with interest from both Italian andinternational clientele.
One of the most symbolic Roman neighbourhoods is Trastevere, which is much more than a neighbourhood, it is a real way of being. From popular to radical chic, today Trastevere is certainly one of the city's most prestigious locations. The appeal and elegance of Parioli and Pinciano is equally timeless, where you can go from period residences and exclusive villas to the modernity of high-value flats.
In addition to this area, which is the area par excellence of the Roman bourgeoisie, other attractive neighbourhoods are also included in this classification, such as Monteverde Vecchio and Gianicolo, rich in elegant villas and palaces with breathtaking views of ancient Rome.
