Genoa is a metropolitan city of Italy, situated in the coastal region of Liguria. The territory borders the Province of Savona, the Province of Alessandria, the Province of Piacenza, the Province of Parma, and the Province of La Spezia.
Property in this region is generally dearer than the Italian average, though prices vary significantly between municipalities. The city of Genoa itself holds far more of the housing stock than anywhere else in the region, offering relatively affordable homes. In contrast, smaller coastal towns like Rapallo, Chiavari, and Camogli are much more expensive. Santa Margherita Ligure stands out as the most expensive enclave, with property prices that are a long way ahead of the regional average, while inland and less prominent coastal spots like Sant'Olcese and Sestri Levante are much cheaper.
