Updated: November 2026
Vake and Old Tbilisi — prestige and history
Vake is the city's most prestigious residential district: parks, embassies, the best schools and restaurants. Old Tbilisi is the historic centre with narrow streets and views of Narikala fortress. Free land is scarce, so there are few new projects and prices are the highest: in our catalogue from $3,100 per m² in Vake and about $6,000 per m² in the Old Town.
Suits living, a prestige purchase and rentals to expats and tourists.
Saburtalo — business and student district
Saburtalo has metro stations, universities, clinics and shopping centres. There are many new projects here, including large complexes by Archi, Biograpi and Trump Tower. Prices in our catalogue range from $1,500 to $2,900 per m², and from $7,000 in Trump Tower.
Apartments in Saburtalo rent out well long-term to students, doctors and office workers.
Ortachala, Avlabari and Isani — next to the Old Town
These districts lie along the Mtkvari river next to the historic centre. Modern complexes are being built here, often with views of Old Tbilisi and hotel-style services. Prices in our catalogue range from $1,650 to $3,800 per m².
Suits living close to the centre and short-term rentals to tourists.
Didube, Dighomi, Nadzaladevi, Gldani — the affordable north
The northern districts are large residential areas with metro, shopping centres and schools. The price per square metre is the most affordable here: in our catalogue from $1,120 to $2,100 per m². Large neighbourhoods with courtyards and amenities are being built.
A good option for a first purchase, families and long-term rentals on a small budget.
