Mallorca in a Dilemma: 1.5 Million Inhabitants, Traffic Jams and Housing Shortage – A Reality Check

Answer

Why is housing in Santa Catalina so hard to find?

Santa Catalina is one of Palma’s most sought-after neighborhoods, so demand is strong and prices are often high. Many people looking there are competing with others who want to live close to the city center, restaurants, and services. That makes it difficult for families and local workers to find something within budget.
