From historic royal towns to islands, marinas, and the fertile Ravni Kotari, find the place that suits you and the real estate offer to match.
Zadar County lies in the central part of Adriatic Croatia, between the Velebit massif and the open sea, at the junction of the fertile Ravni Kotari, an indented coastline, and hundreds of islands and islets.
Administratively, it is organized into 34 local self-government units: six cities (Zadar, Biograd na Moru, Nin, Benkovac, Obrovac, and Pag) and 28 municipalities. According to the 2021 census, about 159,800 people live in the county, and Zadar, with almost 71,000 inhabitants, is the fifth-largest city in Croatia and the administrative, economic, and university center of the region.
Along with Paklenica National Park and three nature parks (Telašćica, Velebit, and Vransko Jezero), the county combines mountains, plains, and the sea in a small area. It is well connected by the A1 motorway, Zadar Airport, and ferry lines, making it equally attractive for permanent living, a second home by the sea, and tourism investment.
Precisely because of this diversity, the real estate offer in Zadar County ranges from city apartments and houses in Zadar to island holiday homes, building plots, and commercial spaces in the hinterland, with prices varying depending on the proximity to the sea and the location.
