Location
The Eixample, Ensanche or “Englargement” was designed in a systematic grid system, stretching from Plaza Catalunya and the top of Cuitat Vella, through the pastures and countryside to the neighboring villages of Sarria, St Gervasi and Gracia in the late 1860s when Barcelona was looking to extend the city beyond the original walls of the old town. This construction coincided with an explosion in local wealth which saw several local families commissioning grand buildings from leading «Modernista» architects, resulting today in the extensive majestic buildings that are scattered throughout the Eixample.
Today the Eixample is considered by many to be the true heart of Barcelona and is one of the most desirable locations to buy real estate in Barcelona. Eixample property is a mixture of residential, commercial and office space. The area is home to some of the most exclusive boutiques, galleries, restaurants, bars and stores, along its wide, tree lined streets. The famous Paseo de Gracia has many of the world’s most exclusive boutiques.
The typical Eixample apartment for sale tends to be considerably more spacious than the norm, with high ceilings, beautiful mosaic tiled floors, corniced ceilings and good natural light. The layout of each “block” means that one end of the apartment typically looks out onto the street while the other will look onto the interior of the square. Due to the size of the blocks, finding smaller apartments can be difficult. In recent years many developers have focused on building high end luxury modern apartments and penthouses in the area and there are a good range of such apartments to buy on the market.
Due to its central location, the Eixample has extremely good public transport connections, not only with the ever-efficient metro, but also the bus system and extensive RENFE services which have connections to the airport and surrounding local stations as well as several major European Cities.
