Explore the options, understand the process, and feel confident about where to live in Tangier
Tangier is a city that invites you to stay. Maybe it’s the ocean air, the historic medina, the international community—or the feeling that life just moves at a different rhythm here. Whether you’re relocating, retiring, or simply starting a new chapter, finding the right home in Tangier is a big and exciting step.
But like anywhere, it helps to know what to expect—especially when renting or buying as a foreigner.
At Welcome to Tanger City, we help individuals, families, and investors find their ideal place to live by offering local insight and practical support from start to finish.
What Are Your Options?
Tangier’s residential scene is as diverse as the city itself. You’ll find:
- Modern apartments in city center high-rises or gated communities
- Traditional homes in the medina or Kasbah full of charm and character
- Spacious villas with gardens in areas like California, Marshan, or Malabata
- Short-term rentals for digital nomads, seasonal visitors, or families relocating gradually
Whether you’re looking for a peaceful retreat, a stylish pied-à-terre, or a forever home—we help match your lifestyle to the right area and property type.
Renting in Tangier
Renting is a great way to get to know the city before making a long-term commitment. Lease contracts typically run for one year and can be renewed. Expect to pay:
- 1 to 3 months’ rent as a deposit
- A separate fee for furniture (if semi-furnished or unfurnished)
- Extra for utilities and building maintenance in some complexes
Rental prices range widely depending on the location, size, and views—so it’s important to visit in person or work with someone you trust locally.
Buying Residential Property
Foreigners can legally buy property in Morocco with few restrictions, though the process includes:
- A title deed check with a notary
- Property registration
- Translation and legal assistance
- Possible bank transfers or investment declarations
Many expats choose to buy in Tangier due to the affordable prices compared to other coastal cities, and the increasing value of well-placed properties near the beach or city center.
We can walk you through each step, introduce you to bilingual notaries, and assist with negotiation and paperwork.
