About Seixal

Houses and apartments for sale in Seixal: living on the Margem Sul, minutes from Lisbon Seixal is a municipality in the Setúbal district, on the Margem Sul (the south bank of the Tagus), part of the Lisbon Metropolitan Area. Right opposite the capital — minutes away by ferry, train or bridge — it offers an increasingly rare combination: riverside quality of life, space, nature and prices well below those of Lisbon, without giving up proximity to the centre. Those looking for houses in Seixal, apartments for sale or investment properties will find everything from affordable apartments in Amora and Corroios to contemporary luxury villas in exclusive Verdizela, next to Aroeira Golf.
