BARNES Barcelona & Costa Brava presents a selection of properties for sale in Dreta de l'Eixample (Barcelona) - BARNES Barcelona & Costa Brava - Properties for sale in Dreta de l'Eixample - Properties for sale in Dreta de l'EixampleLiving in the Dreta de l’Eixample
The Dreta de l’Eixample is the neighbourhood that stretches east of Carrer de Balmes, between Plaça de Catalunya and Avinguda Diagonal. It is home to some of Barcelona’s best-known avenues, such as Passeig de Gràcia and Rambla de Catalunya, and to many of the modernista buildings that have made the city famous worldwide, including Casa Batlló and Casa Milà, La Pedrera. Living in the Dreta means having shops, restaurants, galleries, offices and services on your doorstep, in an urban setting of outstanding architectural quality.
Cerdà’s Eixample
The Eixample was born in the mid-19th century with Ildefons Cerdà’s plan, which laid out a grid of wide streets and blocks with chamfered corners to bring light and ventilation into homes. That layout still shapes life in the district today: straight, tree-lined streets, buildings of uniform height, inner courtyards and shops spread along every street. Many buildings retain period features —entrance halls, staircases, high ceilings, mouldings and hydraulic tiles— that give the apartments their character.

Areas of the neighbourhood
The Dreta is not uniform. The area around Passeig de Gràcia and Rambla de Catalunya has the most representative buildings and intense commercial activity. The streets towards Passeig de Sant Joan are more residential, with a calmer pace. The streets near the Diagonal connect with Gràcia and the upper part of the city. The floor, orientation and specific street have a strong influence on day-to-day life in each home.
What to consider when buying an apartment in the neighbourhood
- The building: its condition, the quality of the refurbishment, the lift and parking.
- Floor and orientation: they determine light, views and noise.
- Outdoor space: terraces and balconies make a real difference in value.
- The layout: the balance between living areas, bedrooms and bathrooms.
- The condition of the home: renovated or in need of updating.
Renovated or in need of updating
A renovated apartment allows you to move in straight away, with modern installations and finishes. An apartment to update gives you the chance to adapt the layout to your taste and to restore original features such as high ceilings, mouldings or hydraulic tiles. Our team will help you assess each option.
Penthouses with terraces
Eixample penthouses are highly prized for their outdoor space, light and views over the city. When assessing one, it is worth checking the condition of the roof and waterproofing, the orientation of the terrace, lift access to the top floor and the community rules on the use of outdoor spaces.
Main residence or long-term asset
The Dreta de l’Eixample attracts both families and professionals looking for a main residence in the centre and buyers who want an apartment in Barcelona for regular stays. In both cases, the quality of the building and the location are the deciding factors.
