Apartments in Les Corts, Barcelona

Les Corts was an agricultural village, and later an industrial one, before joining Barcelona at the end of the 19th century. Today it is a well-connected residential district in the west of the city, on both sides of the last stretch of the Diagonal. Around the Plaça de la Concòrdia you can still recognise the old village, with its low houses and neighbourhood life, while towards the Diagonal wide avenues, offices and the shops of L'Illa take over.

Pedralbes is the most exclusive neighbourhood in the district: the Gothic monastery that gives it its name, the gardens of the Palau Reial and quiet streets of houses with gardens and high-end buildings. The district is also home to the Camp Nou, the university area on the Diagonal and green spaces such as the Parc de Cervantes, famous for its rose garden.

The homes are mostly from the second half of the 20th century: spacious apartments in buildings with a lift, often with a concierge, a parking space and communal areas. In Pedralbes there are also detached houses and apartments with a garden or pool, something uncommon so close to the centre.

It suits families looking for space and schools nearby, professionals who work in the Diagonal area and those who arrive in Barcelona and want peace and quiet without being far from everything. The metro, the tram and the ring roads connect it with the rest of the city and with the road to the airport.

We help you buy or rent in Les Corts with clear information on every building and every street, so that you can choose calmly and without surprises.
