One of the most prestigious neighbourhoods of the city. Located in the higher area of Barcelona, this residential area is perfect for families looking for a quiet and relaxed location.

An area in which privacy, spacious homes and services of all kinds coexist.

2/ El Putxet i Farró

Known, in the past, as the summer resort of the bourgeoisie. An area that belongs to the district of Sarrià-Sant Gervasi and that stands out for its tranquillity and its good communications with the rest of the city.

We give you the opportunity to enjoy this fantastic neighbourhood thanks to the last available apartment in the Homer development. An incredible ground floor duplex of 90m2.

3/ Les Corts

The Les Corts neighbourhood is the bridge between the tranquillity of the upper area and the characteristic hustle and bustle provided by the neighbourhood shops. Its proximity to one of the most powerful commercial hubs in the city (La Illa Diagonal), its proximity to Avenida Diagonal and its good housing options, make it a highly sought-after neighbourhood to live in.

¿Te encantaría vivir a escasos metros de la Avenida Diagonal, justo en frente del Centro Comercial L’Illa Diagonal?

4/ El Poblenou

Its greatest attraction is its proximity to the sea. Having a few meters from home some of the main beaches of the city is a luxury. It is a booming neighbourhood due to the creation of the 22@ district.

If you love the beach, new-build homes and a vibrant atmosphere, you will love our Taulat 179 new-build promotion.

We could say that it is one of the neighbourhoods which best embodies the essence of the city. It is surrounded by historic buildings and lots and lots of life.
