Goa is gradually becoming a premium real estate hotspot, and rightly so. In particular, the North of Goa has gained a lot of attention and has become a favourite amongst tourists and potential homeowners alike. The vast area consists of the regions from Panjim to Bicholim. Additionally, the natural beauty of the state draws people in from all over the world. During the majority of the year, the pleasant weather, the fair cost of living, and the peaceful atmosphere make it a haven for people looking to buy and invest in Goan property. Buying property anywhere in Goa will give you a glimpse of the Goan lifestyle, but what are some of the best locations to invest in?
Here, we have compiled a list of the best and most scenic places to own a home in Goa.
Places such as the town of Candolim in North Goa have a certain charm to them. It is centrally located and is close to markets, a school and several beaches. This makes it a popular tourist destination and one of the best places to own a villa as it is a high-end real estate destination. It is home to some of Goa’s most popular attractions, including Fort Aguada and the Aguada jail. The views from both these locations are truly magical as one can witness the vast sea in front of them, greenery in some areas, and at select times of the day, you can even witness magnificent sunrises and sunsets.
Candolim also has some of the best nightclubs for those looking for a colourful and faster-paced life. For those looking to kick back and relax in a serene location surrounded by nature, Candolim is for you as well. You can enjoy hours on end on your balconies and terraces and gaze at the sea of nature in front of you. If you’re lucky, you can perhaps even gaze at the real sea! This is the charm and beauty of this town; people from all walks of life with different tastes can come together and live here in harmony.
Assagao is a quaint village in the north of Goa. It has a very different charm from its equally beautiful sister Candolim. The village is embraced with a bucolic charm, and old Goan houses immediately enchant onlookers. One of the most prominent features of most of these houses is the vines of the bougainvillea plants extending past the compound wall. This often acts as one of the siren calls to invest in real estate properties here. You can find a range of such villas and row houses available on sale, with different designs and architecture.
An additional benefit to living in Assagao is that homeowners can enjoy a never-ending view of luscious forests and greenery at every turn. In select areas such as Badem, a neighbourhood in Assagao, you can also enjoy a magnificent view of the backwaters of Goa. These backwaters stem from the popular beaches Anjuna and Vagator, which are a short drive away. It is incredibly hard to find villas immediately facing open water bodies, however, there are many available within walking distance if you know where to look. There is also a certain rising cosmopolitan energy that you will notice in the village. As it is well connected to several popular areas, there are several projects on the rise. You can find many bars, restaurants, etc, within the vicinity.
Anjuna is one of Goa’s most popular villages. It is easily accessible and a popular tourist destination. It is known to be a laid-back coastal village with its own beach. It is a sandy cove dotted with palm trees and black rocks. This is a popular destination for those who enjoy the beat of the music and the hustle and bustle of streets, shacks, and restaurants.
This vibrant neighbourhood is home to some of Goa’s most luxurious villas. It can also prove to be a scenic place based on the location of your home. At night you can step out on your balcony and enjoy the stars in the sky or you can simply gaze at the lights of the bustling village before you. The roadside stalls are brimming with life and activity and are a beautiful site to see at any time of the day. The beach is also a short distance away no matter where you live in Anjuna.
The immediate appeal for most homeowners in Parra would be the village’s proximity to nearby towns such as Mapusa, Assagao, and Anjuna, which makes it an ideal destination. It is close to major cities as well, beaches, and popular restaurants.
However, Parra is more than what meets the eye. If you take a stroll down Parra’s shaded lanes, you’ll be greeted with endless fields and greenery. Most of its terrain is dotted with lush paddy fields and coconut groves. In fact, one of the most famous tourist destinations in Goa is the “Coconut Tree Road”, which as the name suggests is a road lined with coconut trees with paddy fields on both sides. You will see several tourists and locals alike stopping for a quick photoshoot on the famous road. You can also enjoy a friendly and peaceful atmosphere for a more secluded and exclusive style of living. Parra is a harmonious fusion of nature and tranquillity.
