Cost & housing
Livorno is affordable for a real coastal city, clearly cheaper than Pisa, Lucca, or Siena, though not as rock-bottom as inland Arezzo. The range below, and where to check live prices yourself.
Renting
These reflect a decent, functional apartment with a real kitchen and a lift. Cheaper exists if you compromise on condition or location.

Buying
If you’re looking to purchase:
Prices are rising steadily, up about 5.7% across the city year on year. Livorno stays one of the more affordable coastal cities in Tuscany, well below Florence or the hill towns.

Other monthly costs
Utilities are a national market in Italy, so that range holds roughly anywhere. Livorno’s mild coastal climate keeps heating and cooling costs moderate.

Our take
Livorno gives you a real coastal city at a fair price: the sea, the ferries, great seafood, and Pisa’s airport 20 minutes away, all without a postcard markup. It’s Tuscany without the hill-town premium or the tourist crush, cheap to live in for the region, salty and real, a genuine alternative for anyone who wants the coast and the culture without Florence prices. The catch is the grit, the working-port edge, and a small expat community.
Call it the un-Tuscan Tuscan city: a gritty, diverse port laced with canals, with the best seafood on the coast, its famous cacciucco fish stew, and almost nobody living the hill-town fantasy. It’s far cheaper than the postcard towns and has a real, year-round working-city life. Few relocation guides send you to Livorno for exactly that reason, which is the point.
Prices move with the market. Always check live listings. See current rentals on Idealista › | See prices on Immobiliare ›
