Girona City Divided Into Areas

The most sought after area to live in the city of Girona is the Historic Centre. This is followed by the modern centre on the opposite side of the river Onyar. Another popular area is called La Devesa and this is close to a green park with nice views. The properties in these areas are the top priced for their size that you'll find in the city.

The Historic centre is sought after because the buildings are very charming, and built in a traditional style with stone. The streets are quiet and it is a very picturesque area to live. La Devesa is a popular area because of the greenery. Many houses look out onto the lawn and wooded area of the park.

The further away from the city centre you go, the cheaper the properties. However, bear in mind that Girona is a wealthy region and even though the city isn't the biggest or best known in Spain, the prices are on a par with cities like nearby Barcelona.

The Real Estate Market In Girona

The estate agents I spoke to said that demand out-weighed supply at the moment (2009) and that potential buyers would be wise to snap up property that they wanted. Girona is enjoying immense popularity right now. A factor which is probably helped by the high number of budget flights that arrive at its airport - making it easy and affordable for UK and European residents to travel here.

Looking for real estate in Girona can be made easy if you contact local estate agents in Girona to find out the latest prices. The tourist information can help by proving a list of real estate firms in Girona. As a general rule of thumb, prices increase the closer you get to the centre of the city.
