Living in the Antiga Esquerra de l’Eixample

The Antiga Esquerra de l’Eixample lies west of Carrer de Balmes, between the Gran Via and Avinguda Diagonal, and includes streets such as Aribau, Enric Granados and Muntaner. It is a residential and very central neighbourhood, with local shops, restaurants, the Ninot market and the Hospital Clínic. Carrer d’Enric Granados, largely pedestrianised, is one of its most pleasant places for a stroll.

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.

A residential neighbourhood in the centre

In contrast to the more commercial area around Passeig de Gràcia, the Antiga Esquerra has a neighbourhood feel: long-established shops, cafés, schools, sports centres and an active community life. At the same time, the University of Barcelona, Plaça de Catalunya and the Diagonal are within walking distance, making it a very practical choice for living all year round.

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.

The streets of the neighbourhood

The streets near Balmes and Aribau have more traffic and activity, while the inner streets and the pedestrian sections of Enric Granados are quieter. Apartments facing the inner courtyards tend to be quieter; those facing the street are brighter on the upper floors. It is worth visiting each home at different times of day.

Main residence or city apartment

Thanks to its services and location, the neighbourhood is a popular choice for a main residence. It is also a good option for anyone wanting an apartment in Barcelona for regular stays, with everything at hand and no need for a car.
