Apartments for sale in Bolzano – Current offers

Apartments for sale in Bolzano – living between arcades, vineyards and the Dolomites

Bolzano (Bozen) combines an alpine mountain panorama with a Mediterranean way of life: the old town with its arcades, Piazza delle Erbe and Piazza Walther, the vineyards of Santa Maddalena and the proximity to the Dolomites make South Tyrol’s capital one of the most sought-after places to live in the Alps. As a real estate agent in Bolzano, we know the city’s apartment market in detail – from a historic apartment under the arcades to an apartment with a garden in Gries or a family apartment in Europa-Novacella.

Thanks to the A22 Brenner motorway and the Brenner railway, Bolzano is quickly connected with Innsbruck, Munich, Verona and Lake Garda – ideal for people working in the city, for second-home buyers and for investors.

The apartment market in Bolzano – what you need to know

The property market in South Tyrol follows its own rules. If you are buying an apartment in Bolzano, you should pay particular attention to the following points in addition to location and condition:

• Conventioned housing: Some apartments in South Tyrol are “conventioned” and may only be bought or occupied by people who meet certain requirements, for example regarding residence. Always check whether an apartment is conventioned or unrestricted.
• Condominium & service charges: Check the service charges, the building regulations and the minutes of recent owners’ meetings – especially for any major works already approved.
• Land register: South Tyrol uses the land register system (Tavolare/Grundbuch). Check entries, easements and the correct allocation of cellar, garage and parking space.
• Energy & CasaClima: Check the energy certificate and the CasaClima (KlimaHaus) class – modern standards have a strong impact on value and running costs.
• Parking & sunshine: Garages and parking spaces are scarce in Bolzano and affect value – as do orientation, floor and the view of the surrounding mountains.
