What does €500K actually buy you near Lisbon? It depends a lot on which side of the river you’re on.
In Lisbon, it’s roughly a one to two bedroom flat, around 90 m².
In Cascais, it’s a similar size, around 100 m², with beach town living instead of city centre density.
Cross the river to the Setúbal peninsula, including Almada and Costa da Caparica, and the same budget buys a genuinely spacious three to four bedroom house of around 180 m², often with outdoor space.
Worth remembering: these figures come from median prices, not from your future home. A renovated flat in Príncipe Real costs far more than the city average. An unrenovated one in Marvila costs far less.
