Which places in Barcelona to invest in property are ideal?

Sants – Montjuïc

One of the most profitable neighbourhoods in Barcelona is Sants – Montjuïc, and that’s because asking prices are low and demand is always there. This is the perfect place for students and employees, because the Sants train station is nearby and also Parc de Montjuïc. You might also consider investing in a parking space here.

Nou Barris

Some of Barcelona’s best investment opportunities are in Nou Barris. This is the place with the average lowest price per square meter, compared to the rest of the city, but much higher yields may be possible. Parc Central and the Collserola mountain range are two of the main attractions nearby, but of course you shouldn’t forget the streets and life in general.

Barceloneta

Barcelona’s coastal neighbourhoods are always a good place to invest in property. Barceloneta is an interesting place on Barcelona’s coast, with its relaxed boulevard that is always full of people and with many nightlife options. This, however, does mainly attract tourists, and therefore investing in property here means higher rent, but the tenants will also change more often.

Sant Gervasi – Galvany

This part of the city is known for its more exclusive properties, and this is where you will find inhabitants with a much higher income. There are many parks and green zones here, it is much more peaceful and safe here, and you will also find some of the best-known schools in this area. Overall quality of life is better in Sant Gervasi, you can count on that!

Raval

Raval is the next place for a good investment opportunity in Barcelona. Raval is in the city centre, and the asking price per square meter is lower than average here. This is a multicultural neighbourhood that attracts many young people, and its connection with the rest of the city is perfect. Visiting Barcelona’s characteristic points of interest will not be a hassle from Raval.

Vila de Gràcia

One of the most interesting neighbourhoods in Barcelona is Vila de Gràcia. Although it is much smaller than many other neighbourhoods, its streets are one of the key elements. It is filled with squares and terraces, and besides the fun part there are also plenty of essential services, like pharmacies, hospitals and supermarkets. Many foreigners choose Gràcia when settling in Barcelona for a longer period of time.

Horta – Guinardó

Horta is a more affordable part of Barcelona, and that’s exactly what makes it ideal for couples and families. Without the need to be in the centre of the city, you can still count on good public transport to reach the centre when needed. It only means you don’t have to struggle with the busier and older neighbourhoods.

Zona Universitaria – Les Corts

This is, again, a neighbourhood that attracts mainly young people, and the reason for this is having the university and campus nearby, and having multiple options at your disposal to spend your free time. Although prices in this area may be a little higher (due to the luxurious neighbourhood of Pedralbes being right next to it), this part of the city is in high demand with students. Rental income is practically guaranteed here.

As you can see there are many interesting places in Barcelona to invest in property; from the more exclusive zones with luxury livings options to the more humble properties with more visitors or tourists.
