Buying property in Estoril and Monte Estoril
The early-20th-century resort between Cascais and São João: casino gardens, hillside villas and two stations on the Linha.
In short. Estoril and Monte Estoril belong to the parish of Cascais e Estoril, whose median sale price was €5,459/m² in the 12 months to March 2026 (INE, parish level). That figure describes the whole parish, not these two neighbourhoods alone. The area suits buyers looking for a house with a garden on the slopes, or a flat within walking distance of a station and the seafront promenade.

Life in Estoril and Monte Estoril
Why buyers choose Estoril and Monte Estoril
Estoril grew around the casino and its formal gardens, while Monte Estoril, on the hill towards Cascais, began in the late 19th century as a district of chalets and mansions. Today the two merge along the Marginal and the seafront promenade.

Education
Prime School International's Estoril campus, on Rua Antoine de Saint-Exupéry in Alapraia, teaches the Cambridge curriculum from age 3 to A-level. The Deutsche Schule Lissabon closed its Estoril campus from the 2026/27 school year and now teaches only in Telheiras, Lisbon, so older references to a German school in Estoril are out of date. King's College School and St George's are in Cascais. Public schools belong to the Agrupamento de Escolas de São João do Estoril, whose secondary school is listed in Estoril, and the Agrupamento de Alapraia.
Homes
What you can buy in Estoril and Monte Estoril
The housing reflects how the resort grew: early-20th-century villas and chalets on large plots, many converted or rebuilt; mid-century and 1970s–2000s apartment buildings along and above the Marginal; and small newer condominiums on infill plots. As a rule, flats are near the stations and the sea, detached houses higher up. For the whole parish, the median asking price was €1,050,000 for apartments and €2,180,000 for houses (asking prices, rankingimobiliario.com, 28.09.2026).
Before you buy
What to check in Estoril and Monte Estoril
Flats directly on the Marginal get traffic noise even at 50 km/h, so visit at rush hour and check the glazing. With older villas, compare the areas in the land registry and tax record with what is built, and have your lawyer confirm that extensions and pools are licensed. Tamariz and Moitas lost their Blue Flags in 2026. The promenade rehabilitation between Cascais and Azarujinha, whose contract was awarded on 24 February 2026 (about 900 days of works, press; no start date announced), runs along this shore.
