Gzira sits immediately south of Sliema, sharing the same harbour views but offering meaningfully lower rents. The Manoel Island development project — a major mixed-use regeneration — is transforming the area. Gzira has a more local, unpretentious character compared to Sliema, with a busy high street, a large Lidl, and a younger, more mixed demographic. It has become a favourite for expats priced out of Sliema.
