A new home in Valencia
opens onto the Mediterranean.

The city is large enough to feel cosmopolitan and small enough to cross by bicycle. The old riverbed is now a garden that runs through it, and the sea is never far.

Luxury real estate in Valencia city

When it comes to luxury real estate, Valencia, Spain, keeps its finest addresses in a handful of districts. Each has its own character, and the best homes share light, proportion and a terrace.

The classic districts

Period buildings in the centre bring high ceilings, tall windows and streets made for walking.

Towards the sea

Newer buildings rise near the City of Arts and Sciences, the port and the wide beach of the Malvarrosa. At the top of the best of them, penthouses face the Mediterranean.

In the city of Valencia, Spain, luxury real estate is judged by light as much as by address. Tell us the district, the floor area and the budget you have in mind.

Beyond the city: villas, orchards and the coast

Detached villas feel most at home in the green belt to the north-west, on quiet streets with the city close by. To the south and inland, the province changes mood.

• Godella, Rocafort and L'Eliana: villa towns with gardens and pools
• The Albufera lagoon and El Saler: pine-backed dunes beside the city
• Cullera and Gandia: sea views and long summer evenings on the coast
• Requena: vineyards and land for buyers who want a slower rhythm

New build or restored: what to weigh

For anyone choosing a new home, Valencia rewards both paths. A new build brings insulation, lifts and parking. A restored period apartment brings detail and a sense of place. Either way, a few questions deserve an early answer.

• The builder's track record and the finishes specified, room by room
• How stage payments on a home under construction are protected
• The condition of the shared parts of an older building
• Light, orientation and street noise at different times of day
• Parking and storage, which can be scarce in the centre
