What €500,000 Buys in 20 European Cities

Half a million euros is a meaningful budget almost anywhere — but it buys very different things depending on the city. In one market it's a compact central apartment; in another, considerably more space a short walk from the historic core. Rather than quote averages, this guide shows you actual homes on the market right now at roughly the same price point.
Eligibility is judged on each home's euro-equivalent price, so markets in other currencies can be compared on equal footing. Each listing keeps and shows its real, native price; where that isn't euros, we add an approximate euro figure for orientation only.

We add new markets only as verified, in-budget supply grows, rather than padding the list with estimates. Explore the full inventory:
Frequently asked
- Are these real, current listings?
- Yes. Each home is a hand-picked example that is re-validated against live inventory at page load and links straight to its full listing. Because it's live, a specific home may sell or change price after you read this — if a pick no longer qualifies, it's removed rather than shown stale.
- Why isn't my city here?
- We only include cities where we have verified, photo-complete inventory in the €500k band. If a market isn't shown, we don't yet have enough listings we can stand behind — we'd rather leave it out than show estimates or homes without photos.
- How do the euro figures work for non-euro markets?
- A home qualifies on its euro-equivalent price, but we always show its real, native price first. Where that isn't euros, the euro amount is an approximation using static reference rates, not a live exchange rate at the time of your visit.
