Marousi: Northern Athens’ Rising Star for Real Estate Investors.

1. The Evolution of Marousi

Once known mainly as a business district, Marousi (Amarousion) has transformed into one of Athens’ most dynamic residential and investment areas.
Its unique combination of strategic location, modern infrastructure, and lifestyle convenience makes it one of the top-performing real estate zones in Northern Athens for 2026.

The area hosts some of the country’s biggest companies, hospitals, and shopping destinations — yet offers a calm, green, and family-friendly environment.
For both Greek and international buyers, Marousi now represents the perfect intersection between quality of life and solid investment potential.

2. Strategic Location and Connectivity

Marousi’s biggest strength is its connectivity.
Located just 10 km from Athens’ city center, it offers easy access via:

• Attiki Odos motorway — connecting directly to the airport and southern suburbs.

• Metro Line 1 (ISAP) and multiple bus routes.

• Proximity to Kifisias Avenue, Athens’ main business artery.

This accessibility makes Marousi not only a residential favorite but also the prime business hub of Northern Athens — hosting offices for multinational corporations, tech firms, and healthcare institutions.

For residents, this means shorter commutes, higher convenience, and a continuous flow of rental demand.

3. A Balanced Real Estate Market

Unlike the high-priced southern suburbs or the saturated center, Marousi offers balanced property prices and strong long-term value.

Average prices in 2026:

• New builds / Energy Class A+: €5,000–€6,500 per m²

• Under construction (off-plan): €4,500–€6,000 per m²

• Renovated older apartments: €2,500–€3,500 per m²

These figures position Marousi as a mid-to-high tier area — offering modern living standards and premium construction at more accessible entry points than Kifisia or Glyfada.

Investors benefit from steady capital appreciation and rental yields of 6–8%, especially in newly built or energy-efficient properties.

4. Lifestyle and Everyday Comfort

Beyond numbers, Marousi stands out for its exceptional quality of life.
It combines green parks, sports facilities, and urban amenities — all within walking distance.

Highlights include:

• The Olympic Sports Complex (OAKA) and new redevelopment projects around it.

• Shopping centers such as The Mall Athens, Golden Hall, and Avenue Mall.

• Top-rated schools and medical centers.

• A growing network of cafés, restaurants, and coworking spaces that attract young professionals and families alike.

It’s this rare mix of modern urban convenience and residential tranquility that continues to attract a diverse and loyal tenant base.

5. The Rise of Energy-Efficient Living

Marousi has been one of the first districts in Athens to adopt energy-efficient construction standards.
Developers are increasingly delivering A+ and A++ class buildings, incorporating smart home systems, thermal insulation, and renewable technologies.

This shift is reshaping the market — energy-efficient homes rent faster, maintain higher value, and generate 7–9% ROI compared to traditional buildings.
Tenants also save on energy bills, making these properties highly desirable.

6. Strong Rental Demand and Steady Yields

Marousi benefits from one of the strongest rental markets in Attica, supported by its mix of corporate tenants, expats, and medical professionals.
The presence of multinational offices and hospitals ensures consistent demand for both short- and long-term leases.

Typical rental prices (2026):

• New or renovated apartments: €12–€16 per m²

• Older properties: €8–€10 per m²

Combined with low vacancy rates, this creates a reliable 6–8% gross yield for well-managed properties.

7. Upcoming Developments and Urban Renewal

Marousi is currently undergoing a new wave of infrastructure and real estate investment, including:

• Redevelopment of OAKA into a mixed-use sports and culture complex.

• Expansion of the metro network, improving regional connectivity.

• Private development projects focusing on green spaces and smart buildings.

These changes are expected to elevate property values by 10–15% over the next three years, further strengthening Marousi’s position as a real estate hotspot.

8. Example Project: Tymfristou by Poli Real Estate

At the heart of Marousi’s residential growth lies the Tymfristou project by Poli Real Estate — a boutique development of six luxury apartments designed with elegance, comfort, and sustainability in mind.

Each residence features:

• Energy Class A+ construction,

• Spacious layouts and large terraces,

• Private parking and storage,

• And the option to purchase under construction, locking in a lower price before completion.

With estimated yields of 7–9%, Tymfristou represents the new standard of living and investing in Northern Athens — where design meets long-term value.

9. Why Investors Are Choosing Marousi

In 2026, Marousi combines all the key ingredients of a safe and profitable investment:

• Competitive entry prices compared to southern suburbs.

• High rental demand from stable, long-term tenants.

• Continuous infrastructure improvement.

It’s no surprise that Marousi has become the preferred district for professional investors and expats seeking both lifestyle and performance.
