When people contact us about how to become Croatian citizens by descent, they also tend to enquire about the best place to live and buy a house in the country after they receive their citizenship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The great news is that Croatia is a diverse region with many beautiful properties, whether you prefer city living or want an idyllic home on the coast overlooking the Adriatic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here we take a look the 5 best places to set up home once your Croatian citizenship application has been accepted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many people may be tempted to look at towards capital Zagreb when buying a property. Large urban areas are usually great for investing in a new home and have greater job prospects as well as more amenities within easy reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With a population of just 780,000 it\u2019s a little smaller than most other European capitals and the fact that it\u2019s not near the coast may put some people off. If you are looking for an expat community and others who speak your language, however, it ticks all the boxes, not least for the range of restaurants, cafes and sites of historic interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Located on the Adriatic, Split has a population of 150,000 and is a seasonal tourist location that can get pretty busy during the spring and summer months. Between May and September, you can expect a lot to be happening, everything from local events to bustling nightclubs, restaurants and bars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you like places of historic interest, there\u2019s plenty here to keep you busy and there are many ferries departing from Split to take you to the amazing Dalmatian islands. There\u2019s also a thriving water sport sector that is popular during the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you prefer smaller coastal locations, Rovinj has a population of just 14,000 and is a well-known fishing port with a great cultural history. Opportunities may be limited for buying properties since it’s a smaller city but Croatia is one country where new developments are welcomed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because it\u2019s more on the touristy side, the restaurants and bars can be expensive at certain times of the year but, if you can find where the locals hang out, you\u2019ll save on the kunas and get to know some new and interesting people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aside from Zagreb, Dubrovnik is probably the second best-known city in Croatia and a popular destination for those who have recently received a Croatian passport to set up home. The craggy, fortressed coastline looks magnificent and there is plenty to do and see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you love your fresh seafood and want to be part of a city that has a strong and longstanding cultural heritage, there are properties available from around \u20ac175,000 up to \u20ac4,000,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Located on Pelje\u0161ac Peninsula on the Adriatic, this small town with a population of just 4,000 is a popular destination for people who want to set up home in Croatia. It\u2019s not the cheapest area to buy a home and it is a lot more exclusive than other areas in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The beaches offer magnificent views and the region is home to a great winemaking industry including the vineyard that makes the world-famous red wine Dinga\u010d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are thinking of getting Croatian citizenship and want to settle down or buy a property in the region, it\u2019s essential to have local support. Salona Consulting can help with applying for the Croatian citizenship including documentation review and certified translations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
