Apartments for Sale in Gibraltar: Prices & Districts (2026)

Apartments for sale in Gibraltar start from around 165,000 GBP for a studio and range to 5 million+ for premium penthouses. The median price sits at 750 GBP per square foot as of early 2026, though what you will actually pay depends heavily on which district you buy in. A two-bedroom apartment in Queensway Quay might cost 450,000, while the same size in the Upper Town could be under 300,000.

Gibraltar's property market has recalibrated after prices fell 15-25% from their mid-2022 peaks - but with just 2.6 square miles of land and virtually no greenfield development left, the long-term fundamentals remain strong. Here is exactly what is available, what it costs, and where to look.
