Buying a home in Alcabideche

The largest parish in the municipality of Cascais by area: 39.77 km² running from CascaiShopping up to the Sintra hills. It is the part of Cascais where new homes are still being built, minutes from the sea without living on top of it.

Alcabideche is the largest parish in Cascais by area — 39.77 km², with 44,165 residents at the 2021 census — stretching from the edge of town up to the hills, taking in places such as Areia, Alvide, Bicesse, Murches and Malveira da Serra.

It has on its doorstep what a family uses every week: CascaiShopping, on the EN 9, and Cascais Hospital Dr. José de Almeida are both inside the parish. The A5 and A16 connect to Lisbon and the airport, and the centre of Cascais and the beaches are a few minutes away by car.

This is where new build appears — apartments from the ground up, with high energy ratings, their own parking and a terrace, which the historic centre of Cascais can rarely offer. For anyone who wants a new home in the municipality, without the density of the coast road, Alcabideche is where to look.

Who it suits

  • Families wanting a new home and space, minutes from Cascais
  • Commuters to Lisbon who want to be near the A5
  • Foreign buyers who prefer a quiet area to the seafront
