Budapest, Pilisvörösvár (town in Pest County) and Pécs (southern Hungary) are the best places to live in Hungary in 2023, revealed the livability ranking of MBH Mortgage Bank. Experts examined the opportunities offered by the country’s 174 districts and Budapest for people living there, based on education, health, culture, crime, the labor market, shopping opportunities, and housing affordability.
The results show that western Hungary and the areas around the larger cities have better educational, labor market, and shopping opportunities, while in the eastern areas it is easier to afford a home, despite typically lower salaries.
The capital’s scores were significantly higher than those of the second-placed Pilisvörösvár, but the other top scorers were separated by only tenths of a point.

Pécs and its surroundings were not in the top ten last year, but this year they reached third place. Debrecen (Northern Great Plain) and its surroundings retained fourth place, followed by Veszprém (Central Transdanubia) and its surroundings, third last year, now in fifth place. The top ten also includes Szeged (southern Hungary), Budakeszi (Pest County, Budapest metropolitan area), Győr (northwest Hungary), and Dunakeszi (Pest County, Budapest metropolitan area) and the district of Bácsalmás (southern Hungary), that has just jumped up from the midfield and is also in the top ten.

The areas in the top ten score highly on one or two indicators, but in other respects they would be towards the bottom of the table. Bácsalmás and its surroundings, for example, are strong in terms of low crime and affordability of real estate, while Budakeszi and its surroundings are strong in labor market conditions.
Overall, large cities score better in infrastructure facilities and services such as education, culture, health, and labor market characteristics, but their scores are dragged down by crime and affordability, the survey found.
