How to Use This

Singles and remote workers: target 1BRs under €900 in Benimaclet and Camins al Grau. Couples and young families: focus on 2BRs around €1,100–€1,300 in La Saïdia, L’Olivereta, or Quatre Carreres.

What this means for new arrivals

If you’re landing in April, focus on micro‑locations and decision‑speed. A friendly WhatsApp intro, organized paperwork, and a clear list of must‑haves will put you ahead of the pack.

How to act on this

•Prepare your dossier. Passport, visa or income proof, references.
•Pick two target districts. Pair a premium area (like Ciutat Vella or L’Eixample) with a value option (Patraix, Benicalap).
•Stay reachable on WhatsApp. Same‑day viewings are common.
•Be flexible on furnishings. Unfurnished opens more doors and lowers rent.
