On average a person moves house 8 times during their life time mainly due to changes in lifestyle. Some want to be closer to amenities and/or family and friends, while young families may have outgrown their home and need a larger property as their family grows in size.
When the children have grown up and left, a family home that was perfect before can become a burden due to high running cost and maintenance. As one is getting older the work in the garden especially can become too much. Downsizing or rightsizing is the next step and when living on a countryside location this often goes hand in hand with relocating to a town or city where all amenities are nearby. Releasing equity by buying a smaller property and/or moving to a cheaper location could sometimes be beneficial too. Whatever the reason for moving home might be, it remains a stressful event for many people. This is particularly true when you are downsizing.
Often people prefer a more or less similar home with spacious living room and kitchen but fewer bedrooms/bathrooms and a smaller, low maintenance garden and ideally on a central location where one does not need a car all of the time. Moving from a tranquil countryside location with lovely garden and swimming pool to an apartment in a high density residential area in town center with busy traffic is not everyone’s cup of tea. Finding the right place is a balancing act not to be taken lightly.
There are many coastal towns in the Algarve to choose from depending on your requirements. However, it is hard to beat what Tavira in the East Algarve as to offer. This historic town is developing in a very pleasant way. Here history, heritage, tradition, beaches and tourism have blended well and the large, active expat community is living happily alongside the friendly Portuguese people. As in most towns, there are many apartment buildings but not many detached properties to choose from. However, if you are looking for a property in the center of a town, Tavira should be high on your list. New developments are mostly located south of the N-125 as there is hardly land available in Tavira town center. So when a rare opportunity comes along to buy off- plan 3 and 4 bedroom semi-detached villas and townhouses with private swimming pool on a very good location in the center of Tavira with all amenities within walking distance, one should pay attention.
