Rent an apartment in the Barcelona neighborhood of Meridian City costs a third as much as in the Three Towers. The increase throughout the Catalan capital is general, as this newspaper reports today, reaching an average of 1,123.5 euros per month, although with slight descents in some of the most humble neighborhoods, which accentuates the differences by area.
Thus, in the first, rents have fallen between April and June by an average of 14 euros compared to the first quarter of 2023, while in the most expensive neighborhood they have increased by a whopping 110 euros. The extremes of the city mark distances, while they are already 33 the neighborhoods with average prices for official contracts (as published by Incasòl based on the deposits deposited) over a thousand euros monthly.

From the upper area to the center
On the contrary, the most expensive neighborhoods of the city continue to rise, also in the number of contracts (in general), which demonstrates the demand for this segment. In addition to the Three Towers (1,859.8 euros), three other neighborhoods of Sarrià-Sant Gervasi would be in the ‘top’ 10 prices (in order, Sant Gervasi-Galvany, Sant Gervasi-La Bonanova and Sarrià), with an average of 18.15 euros per square meter.
But in the rest of the city, to open the map, they stand out Pedralbes, in the Les Corts district, as the second most elite neighborhood to rent, at 1,730.4 euros (in the second quarter of the year). They follow the Dreta de l’Eixample (1,597.5), the Olympic Village (1,552.7), the Marina del Prat Vermell (which deserves a separate comment, at 1,463.3 euros), Diagonal Mar and the Maritime Front (1,400.6), the Antiga Esquerra de l’Eixample (1,340 euros), the Border (1,335.9), the Gothic (1,293.8), and Les Corts and Putxet (almost tied at 1,242.5 and two tenths more, respectively).
