Find an apartment, and a great neighborhood to stay can completely change the experience and the prospect of living in a new city. Many things depend on the lifestyle you're looking for long term accommodation in the city. Although there are some areas that are considered the best due to the facilities, green areas and other environmental components.
1. L'eixample
The area of L'eixample is considered as one of the best neighborhoods of Barcelona. It is located in the heart of the city, it has the best transport links, a wide range of services and a unique atmosphere that you will not find in any other place. If you are new in the city, you will have the opportunity to enjoy and experience the most of the lifestyle of Barcelona here.
L'eixample is very diverse and international, because it is inhabited by locals and foreigners. L'eixample is located in the part moderna de Barcelona. It has wide streets, green areas, almost any store you want, and beautiful buildings such as the Sagrada Familia, La Pedrera and the Casa Batlló.
A great advantage of this area is that you can find a fantastic new apartment, and with a range of prices ranging from economy to luxury.
2. Gràcia
It is just 20 minutes from the city centre and is one of the favorite areas of the premises to go out to get something to drink or eat due to the amazing dining options that it offers.
The neighborhood is well located and the fact that whether we like it most is because it is much less touristy. You will have the opportunity to live like a local here, but it will also be part of an area well-developed with commercial areas and a wide range of beautiful bars and restaurants.
It is said that Gràcia is self-sufficient, which means that once you stay here, there is no need for you to go, because the area has everything that you want.
Last, but not least, this area offers excellent affordable apartments.
3. Uptown (Uptown)
This zone is formed by three main districts: Pedralbes, Sarrià and Sant Gervasi.
The High Zone is located in the northern part of Barcelona, and is mostly inhabited and loved by the locals, is located about 20 minutes from the centre of the city and has a transport system and well communicated. This area is perfect if you're looking for a neighborhood less touristy and quiet, surrounded by plenty of green spaces.
If you are a family, this area can be a perfect choice because it has many schools and universities around (some of them have international programs).
4. The Poblenou
If you love the beach and this was one of the reasons why you chose to live in Barcelona, you might want to consider living in the area of Poblenou.
This district is located close to the city but it is not so central. Poblenou is inhabited by both local and foreign, and is very well connected with the rest of the city, with multiple metro and bus lines.
This area has many modern buildings and a wide range of gastronomic restaurants. Poblenou has many new apartments and large accommodation spaces. Many buildings of modern office have been opened in the area in recent years.
The best part that made this district formed part of our five main locations is that he'll be just steps from some of the best beaches of Barcelona.
5. Born
It is one of the most international and one of the most beautiful areas of the city. If you don't mind the noise, you want to be close to the major events of the city and I love the night life, we believe that this area may be best for you.
The Born always crowded, cheap and with many options of bars and restaurants, is an aesthetic appeal with their squares, strolling through the old town of the city of Barcelona.
Apartments in this neighborhood are a bit more expensive and the buildings are old in comparison with the rest of the city.
