The city has a long seafront promenade, Independence Square and a historic role as the place where Albania declared independence in 1912.

Summers are busy and winters quiet, and building quality varies between developments.

Buyers include Albanian diaspora, Kosovars, Italians and other Europeans.

Foreigners can buy apartments and houses in Albania, but agricultural land is restricted, and ownership is registered with the state cadastre. Because of past title disputes, hire an independent lawyer to verify the title, building permit and developer's record, and avoid paying large sums before the contract is registered. Transfer taxes are low compared with Western Europe (verify locally).
