 SARRIA 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 This guide to property in Barcelona is now out of date.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 Sarrià - Sant Gervasi
- Centred on the Paseo De La Bonanova this district is one of Barcelona's poshest residential areas and is 10 - 15 minutes by car from the centre of town.
- Some of Barcelona's best hospitals / clinics and almost all the best schools are located in or near this district. Children can walk to school, which makes it very popular with affluent local families.
- In the streets above Bonanova you find individual houses and semi-detached properties. This is one of the closest areas to the centre of town where you can buy these kinds of properties. The high price of these properties reflects this fact.
- In contrast to the affluent neighbouring district of Pedralbes (see below) this area has a great community feel to it, with plenty of shops, bars and restaurants within walking distance. It is also well communicated with the centre of town by bus and metro.
The Sarrià part of the district is especially attractive with a charming Spanish village feel to it.
- This area is perfect for comfortable living in pleasant, easygoing surroundings whilst only being a short taxi ride from the centre of town. It is also the perfect district for renting property on a short-term basis to MBA students at nearby business schools such as IESE and ESADE. MBA students tend to be affluent and well behaved tenants. This is a potentially profitable rental niche that is largely overlooked.
