About Gruž
ExpandCollapse
Gruž wraps around the city's main port, where island ferries and cruise ships dock beside the lively Gruž open-air market and the central bus station. It is the most lived-in, local-feeling part of Dubrovnik. Housing is more affordable here, from older apartments to renovation projects, and the unbeatable transport links plus ongoing waterfront regeneration are pushing prices up. It suits value-focused and long-let buyers over trophy-seekers.

Market outlook
Dubrovnik's most affordable core at around €3,000–€4,500/m², flagged among the fastest-rising areas as buyers chase relative value and the transport hub. Better yields than the prime zones, with regeneration of the port area a medium-term upside.
