Facilities in Balzan/Attard

I currently live in Attard and you will have all of these facilities within 20 minutes walk. Attard and Balzan are very quiet compared to other areas, so choices for certain things is limited, but other areas are easy enough to travel to.

Shops - A few small supermarkets great for daily needs. We use M4 a lot as they have an excellent meat counter. Big Shops can be done online if necessary. Lots of little village shops. There is also a new large retail park opened up on the border with Mosta (PAMA)

The Market at Ta Qali is close by

There is not a massive selection of restaurants in Attard, more on the border with Balzan and San Anton Gardens, but those there are, are very nice.

The national park is reasonably close, as is the aforementioned San Anton which is very nice. Mdina & Rabat are a short bus ride away (not so much a park)

I can think of at least 4 banks within 15 minute walk of Attard centre.

It is very nice to walk around to places, but  some might even think in Malta 20-30 minutes to walk somewhere is a long way, and in the summer you definitely need to keep hydrated.

My wife and I are moving to the coast as it is closer to work, and we do feel torn as it is lovely in the three villages of Attard/Lija/Balzan and there surrounding areas Naxxar/Mosta/Birkirkara all offering something different.
