Houses for sale in Montgat

Living in Montgat

Montgat is the first municipality on the Costa de Barcelona (Maresme) as you leave Barcelona. It borders Badalona and Tiana and is a small municipality combining a seafront, beaches and residential neighbourhoods climbing the hills towards the coastal range.

Its main attraction is its proximity to the city: the C-32 motorway starts in the municipality itself and the coastal railway stops in Montgat. That is why it is a popular choice for families who work in Barcelona and want to live in a house with a garden near the sea.

Houses for sale in Montgat

The BARNES selection in Montgat consists of houses of two main types:

• Detached houses: contemporary family homes with garden, pool and sea views from the upper parts of the municipality.
• New-build terraced houses: three- and four-bedroom homes in small residential developments, with private outdoor spaces and modern finishes.

Terraced houses are an interesting alternative for anyone seeking a brand-new family home near Barcelona with less upkeep than a detached house.

Areas of the municipality

By the sea are the old centre, the beach and the station. As you climb inland, residential neighbourhoods of detached houses appear, with quieter streets and open views over the coast. In the highest areas, the nearby hills provide a more natural setting.

Terraced or detached house

A new-build terraced house offers a family home with private outdoor space, energy efficiency and easier maintenance, in a small group of homes. A detached house brings more privacy, its own plot and more freedom to extend or renovate in the future. The choice depends on how you will use the home, the size of your family and how much time you want to devote to the garden and pool.
