Residential Market Trends in Zagreb, Split and Rijeka

Major Croatian cities continue to show differentiated residential market dynamics in 2026. Zagreb remains the largest and most liquid market, while Split and Rijeka benefit from a combination of urban living and proximity to the coast.

Zagreb

Demand for new‑build apartments in well‑connected districts remains strong, with buyers prioritizing energy‑efficient buildings and quality amenities. Rental demand is supported by students, young professionals and corporate tenants.

Split

Split’s residential market is influenced by both local demand and tourism‑driven short‑term rentals. Premium locations near the waterfront and historic center continue to command higher prices.

Rijeka

Rijeka is seeing renewed interest in residential projects linked to infrastructure improvements and port‑related economic activity. Redevelopment of older housing stock offers opportunities for value creation.
