GRACIA PROPERTY

2008. This guide to property in Barcelona is now out of date. I will try and update it sometime this year. However, I can tell you that Barcelona property prices have become significantly over-valued, and are starting to fall. I expect falls of 20% or more over the next 12 to 24 months.

Property in Gràcia

• Gràcia used to be a village outside of Barcelona but as the city expanded it became one of Barcelona's central residential districts.
• Rather like the Old Town Gràcia has a network of narrow streets that makes the area feel cramped. However it also has a high number of attractive squares to compensate.
• Gràcia has a youthful residential profile and is home to a large number of bars and restaurants that appeal to a younger clientele. The downside is that street noise can be a problem for residents.
• On balance Gràcia is an agreeable residential area with a good local feel to it and without the petty crime problems common in the Old Town. The streets between Via Augusta and Calle Verdi but below Astúries stand out.
