Apartments for sale in the Nova Esquerra de l’Eixample

La Nova Esquerra de l'Eixample

Living in the Nova Esquerra de l’Eixample

The Nova Esquerra de l’Eixample occupies the western part of the Eixample, west of Carrer del Comte d’Urgell, towards Carrer de Tarragona and Plaça d’Espanya. It is a residential neighbourhood with wide streets, local shops and facilities such as the former Escola Industrial complex on Carrer del Comte d’Urgell. Its location lets you walk to the centre and easily reach the rest of the city.

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.

Properties for sale in the Nova Esquerra

BARNES Barcelona currently presents in this neighbourhood:

• A 135 m² apartment, a generous size for a family home in the Eixample.
• A 51 m² penthouse, a compact option on the top floor.

The offer changes frequently. See each listing for details of the home and contact our team to arrange a viewing.

A neighbourhood for living all year round

The Nova Esquerra has a more residential atmosphere than the centre of the Eixample. Its streets have local shops, markets, cafés, schools and sports facilities, making it a good choice for a main residence. Cerdà’s large blocks and their landscaped interiors provide quiet spaces in the heart of the city.

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.

Large apartments and penthouses

A large apartment in the Eixample allows generous layouts, with the living room on the façade and bedrooms facing the inner courtyard. A compact penthouse, on the other hand, can be a good home for one or two people or a city apartment for regular stays. In both cases, it is worth checking the condition of the building, the lift and the orientation.
