Properties to buy and rent in Poblenou, Barcelona

Lucas Fox offers an excellent selection of Poblenou real estate for sale, including brand new apartments with amazing sea views.

Given its fantastic beachside location, Poblenou (which along with the areas of Diagonal Mar and Vila Olímpica form part of the Sant Martí district) is tipped as the future Lower Manhattan or London Docklands of Barcelona.

Currently undergoing a multibillion Euro renovation known as the 22@ project, the aim is to turn it into one of Europe's most important new technology and e-commerce centres. Due to this, buying property in Poblenou is a good long-term property investment.

The area is characterised by its old industrial buildings and pockets of old charming "finca regias".

The heart of Poblenou, in and around Rambla del Poblenou, still retains all the appeal of a village with a great range of shops, markets, bars and restaurants.

Local amenities and public transport links are excellent. There is a good selection of buses, trams and metro lines serving the area, taking you into the centre of Barcelona in under 10 minutes.

Glòries, one of Barcelona's largest shopping complexes, is only a short walk away, as are the beautiful beaches that characterise this up-and-coming neighbourhood.
