Homes for Sale in Mataró

Houses for sale in Mataró

Mataró is the county town and the largest city on the Costa de Barcelona (Maresme). It combines a lively historic centre, a seafront with beaches and a marina, and residential neighbourhoods of detached houses climbing the hills towards the coastal range. This variety makes it a very practical choice for living all year round: all the services of a city, with the sea and nature a few minutes away.

The C-32 motorway and the coastal railway connect Mataró with Barcelona, and the C-60 road links it to the Vallès. That is why many families who work in Barcelona choose the city to live in a house with a garden.

The BARNES selection in Mataró consists mainly of detached homes:

Areas of Mataró

The historic centre, with the basilica of Santa Maria and its shopping streets, is the heart of urban life. By the sea are the promenade, beaches and marina. Estates of detached houses lie on the northern and western slopes of the city, with quieter streets and, in many cases, sea views. The higher the location, the larger the plots and views tend to be.

What to consider when buying a house in Mataró

• The area: close to the centre and the sea or on a residential estate with more space.

• The plot: usable area, slope and the possibility of a pool and garden.
• Condition: renovated house, house to update or new build.
• Connections: proximity to the C-32, the C-60 and the railway stations.
