San Marino is an interesting place, not just for tourists but also for investors, interested in property and land for sale in San Marino. In the last decades it was considered as one of the tax heavens in Europe together with Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Andorra and Monaco. Right now the European Union exercises a strong pressure upon these countries to harmonize their financial legislatures with those of the Union. It's not clear what will be the exact result of this pressure but given the economic and the trade dependence of San Marino the point isn't whether but when it will retreat. For those who aren't afraid of such development and explore the possibilities of moving to San Marino, the prices and the rents there aren't among the lowest in Europe. The new 2BR apartments can be found for $250,000-300,000. The detached houses are twice that price. The rents for the average apartments begin from $900-1,000 per month with 1-year lease. If the property pictures shown on the San Marino real estate sites are representative, the dominant modern housing style is a mixture of some classic Italian renaissance forms with the modern waves from the United States.
