How Metro Line 4 Will Transform Property Prices in 14 Key Areas of Athens
Metro Line 4 is the biggest infrastructure project in modern Athens. Discover how it will reshape property prices in 14 neighborhoods, which areas will rise first, and what this means for buyers and investors. Metro Line 4 (Alsos Veikou – Goudi), with 15 new stations, is the most influential public transport project Athens has seen in decades. It will reshape mobility patterns, daily life, commercial activity — and, most importantly, real estate values. International studies show that the addition of a metro station can increase property prices by 8% to 25% within the first years of operation. In Athens — a city where mobility is a major challenge — the impact is expected to be even greater. Below is a detailed look at 14 neighborhoods that will be significantly affected.

Conclusion: Metro Line 4 is a decade-long investment opportunity
Line 4 is not just an infrastructure project —
it is a redistribution of value across Athens.
Areas that were previously overlooked will become highly desirable.
Neighborhoods that were “mid-tier” will move into premium status.
Investors who move early will capture the highest returns.
The key strategies for buyers:
buy before full completion,
focus on micro-locations near station exits,
target renovated units or boutique new-builds,
think on a 5–10 year horizon.
