Buying an apartment on Lake Balaton - good reasons to do so

 

Buying an apartment on Lake Balaton offers you numerous advantages that make living in this beautiful region a real experience.

- Lake Balaton, the largest lake in Central Europe, is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe and enchants visitors with its blue waters, hilly landscape and unspoiled nature. This idyllic setting not only invites you to relax, but also offers wine lovers a special highlight with the surrounding wine-growing regions.

- And the best thing? The cost of living and ancillary costs on Lake Balaton are significantly lower than in most parts of Europe. Buying an apartment on Lake Balaton is therefore not only financially attractive, but also an ideal way to escape the hectic pace of everyday life.

- Hungary has seen strong economic development in recent years and today offers a place worth living in with plenty of nature and tranquility - perfect for anyone looking for a relaxed lifestyle. In addition, housing prices in Hungary are extremely affordable compared to other European regions. With us at your side, you will find the ideal apartment on Lake Balaton and soon be enjoying life in one of Europe's most beautiful regions.


 



An apartment with a lake view - pure relaxation

 

Are you able to work remotely or are you looking for a decelerated lifestyle? Imagine sitting in your apartment on Lake Balaton on your balcony with a view of the lake, a fragrant cup of coffee in front of you and working. The dream doesn't have to remain a dream.

You can also sweeten your life without work here. The apartments are usually easily accessible by elevator and offer state-of-the-art facilities.

Security is a valuable asset in Hungary. Crime rates have fallen sharply in Hungary due to more restrictive law enforcement and virtually zero migration from crisis areas. Walking alone as a woman by the lake in the evening? No problem.

The lapping of the water and a sunset by the lake - what could be better? We always have beautiful apartments with a view of Lake Balaton in our portfolio. These are often in high demand as new builds.


 



Buying apartments on the north side of Lake Balaton - where else?

 

Lake Balaton is big. With a length of 77 kilometers, it offers many beautiful spots to buy an apartment. So why should it necessarily be the north side? And where on the north side of Lake Balaton does it make the most sense to buy an apartment?

The east side of Balaton is certainly closer to Budapest, which can be a good argument. But just like on the south and north-west sides, most restaurants and leisure activities are closed outside the main season from the beginning of June to the end of August. The sidewalks are rolled up, so to speak. It's a bit dreary then.

The western side is more or less criss-crossed by nature reserves, where apartments are in short supply on Lake Balaton.

The liveliest corner of Lake Balaton is the north-west side. Apartments in Keszthely or Hévíz offer the opportunity to enjoy leisure activities all year round. In both summer and winter, an apartment on Lake Balaton offers the opportunity to experience the changing beauty of the lake and yet not to sink into loneliness. On top, you have sun the whole day and are not on the shadow in the South side. A visit to the thermal lake in Hévíz in the cold season is also a welcome change.

 



FAQ: Questions and answers about buying an apartment on Lake Balaton

Do you have any questions? We have the answers. You can find the most frequently asked questions here and on our FAQ website, but please do not hesitate to contact us personally

Property prices around Lake Balaton have risen significantly over the last ten years, with both vacation homes and permanent residences in high demand.

In the first half of 2023, the average price of newly built apartments in popular Balaton towns such as Keszthely reached around EUR 3,000 per square meter with a range of EUR 2,000 to EUR 6,000 per square meter. Prices are particularly high near the lakeshore and with a view of the lake. Overall, property prices have risen by 15-20% in 2024 alone.

Compared to other European destinations, apartments on Lake Balaton are still relatively affordable, but the region is experiencing a steady rise in prices due to the increasing demand for vacation homes and an influx of foreign buyers. As the cost of living in Hungary is lower than in Western Europe, the appeal of buying an apartment on Lake Balaton remains strong. You can find a detailed analysis of price trends in our article on real estate price trends.

Buying an apartment on Lake Balaton offers a number of advantages for buyers compared to real estate in the countryside in Hungary.

The attractive location and recreational value on one of Europe's most popular inland lakes not only offers immediate access to the lake, but also to a wide range of leisure activities such as sailing, swimming and hiking. These leisure activities are an important incentive not only to use an apartment yourself, but also to rent it out to one of the more than 3 million vacationers at Lake Balaton, which is rather more difficult in the countryside. From an investment point of view, increased demand from foreign long-term tenants should not be neglected either. As the number of rental properties in Hungary is historically only around 10%, expatriates often find it difficult to find rental properties.

While rural areas in Hungary are often characterized by limited infrastructure, Lake Balaton benefits from a very well-developed tourist infrastructure. This includes a wide range of restaurants, stores and cultural offerings, which is attractive for both permanent residents and vacationers. This applies in particular to the north side of Lake Balaton and the region around Keszthely and Hévíz, as on the south or north-east side the sidewalks are closed in many respects during the winter months and the offer is minimalist.

Due to the constantly high demand for real estate in popular vacation destinations, an apartment on Lake Balaton is therefore often a stable investment. In highly frequented towns such as Keszthely and Hévíz, prices remain stable or even rise, which can represent a solid increase in value in the long term.
