Portalegre is an inland district of Portugal that sits along the international border with Spain, sharing its eastern boundary with the Cáceres Province and the Province of Badajoz. Within Portugal, this administrative region borders the districts of Castelo Branco, Santarém, and Évora.
The housing market in Portalegre is generally cheap compared to the rest of Portugal. Elvas and the district capital of Portalegre hold the largest shares of the housing stock, closely followed by Ponte de Sor. While Elvas is one of the more expensive of these main residential hubs, its prices are heavily eclipsed by Avis, where homes cost more than double the regional average. By contrast, buyers find much cheaper options in the smaller markets of Nisa and Gavião, which are among the most affordable places to buy in the district.
