To Cashelg's comment about sites/blogs on moving to Portugal: ExpatExchange is one of the most useful and accurate blogs available. Our focus, as readers and bloggers on this site, is on the technical, operational and legal complexities more than on comparing neighborhoods. In addition, most expats live in the Lisboa or Algarve areas, with very few moving to Oporto. Even more difficult is the question you asked, seeking a comparative analysis of three specific areas of Oporto: not knowing if you are accustomed to a million-dollar home or a few thousand dollar place; walking or driving; what cultural features you want in your neighborhood; access to churches, shops, hospitals....it is a question best asked of a realtor who lives and works in the area. Those of us on this site who have participated for years in helping others with their questions find that 'doing the research' on these kind of one-off inquiries is what helps newcomers learn the most. Once you've found the comparative aspects of these three neighborhoods, perhaps you could write an article and help people who might want this info in the future.

good afternoon.

the areas really depens on what you like and what you want to do

if you plan to work in Porto from the early morning on, i would not recommend Vila Nova de Gaia, due to the traffic (only with a few exception).

if you value the beach, then the coast of Vila Nova de Gaia (south of Porto), Matosinhos (north, but really connected to Porto) or even Foz (the most expensive neighbourhood of Porto) are the best areas.

if you value parks, then the Boavista area, near to the city park would be the best.

if you value night-life, then downtown (Baixa) or Ribeira are the best.

if you have any trouble regarding renting/buying, just let me know and i'll see if I can help

Regards,

Joaquim Pires
