The Porto Metropolitan Area is undergoing a transformation: areas such as Maia, Rio Tinto and Vila Nova de Gaia are increasingly asserting themselves as top choices for living - not just as affordable alternatives, but as places with identity, quality and enormous potential for appreciation. Rising prices in the city center have pushed demand to these outlying areas, where the square meter is still more affordable. The good news? In these areas, quality of life is not a concession - it´s an argument. 
Recent urban planning, more green spaces, pedestrian zones, modern public facilities and accessibility are decisive factors for families, young professionals and investors.

Expansion and appreciation

The market is responding: new residential developments with a focus on aesthetics, functionality and comfort are springing up in a big way, and IMMOPO has followed this trend with projects in areas that are growing in value. Examples such as Oasis Emanuelle, Lumina Emanuelle, White Stone and Madalena Vista Mar show that living outside the city center is increasingly a smart choice - for quality of life, urban balance and return on investment.

At IMMOPO Real Estate, we continue to invest in these locations because we believe that the future of real estate is built with vision, outside the obvious, but always close to everything.

Are you thinking of moving outside the center of Porto? Talk to us and discover the areas with the greatest potential.
