Living in Hydra
01 A residential and business address
Hydra is home to diplomatic missions, company headquarters and streets of villas. Life is calmer than in the city centre, with the centre, El Biar and Ben Aknoun close by.
02 What people buy here
Large flats in prime buildings, often with a terrace and a view of the bay, and villas on their own plots. Supply is scarce; the best properties go by word of mouth before they are advertised.
03 Living on the slopes
Streets climb and wind, pavements are tree-lined and local shops gather around a few squares. People mostly drive, so parking is part of the price.
04 The highest prices in Algiers
The price per m² is among the highest in the country. A well-placed property holds its value; a poorly kept one is negotiated: condition and the building’s management weigh heavily in a valuation.
