Living in Casablanca
Morocco’s economic capital and largest market. Strong demand to buy and to rent, from the historic centre to the new residential areas (Bouskoura, Dar Bouazza).
Choose first by your daily commute (work, schools): traffic weighs on the choice of district. Tram on several lines, urban motorway to Bouskoura and Dar Bouazza.
Tram, busway, urban motorway; Mohammed V airport 30 km away.
Living in Agadir
A bay, a mild climate all year and a relaxed pace. A residential and seaside market (Founty, Taghazout Bay), with lower entry prices than the big cities.
You can walk to the beach from Founty and the centre. For a main home, look at neighbourhood life out of season.
Al Massira airport, motorway to Marrakech, expressway to Taghazout.
Investing in Casablanca
Deep rental demand (executives, young professionals, students). Well-located 1- and 2-bedroom flats rent and resell most easily.
Investing in Agadir
Steady holiday rentals (Moroccan and European tourism). Prefer well-managed residences close to the beach.
