In the current context of the real estate market in Barcelona, ​​a notable trend in rental prices is observed. According to the latest data published by Incasòl, the average rent in Barcelona has reached 1,077 euros per month, a figure that, curiously, coincides with the SMI (Minimum Interprofessional Salary). This fact underlines the need to analyse the situation with a critical approach, as it reveals the growing pressure and difficulties faced by the rental market in Barcelona.

Despite this situation, it is essential to highlight that there are 14 localities in the province of Barcelona where rental prices exceed those of Barcelona. These localities, whether due to their limited supply, the quality of their homes or the standard of living of their residents, offer an attractive outlook for investment in properties intended for rental.

A diversified market
Barcelona is home to a total of 20 municipalities that offer rental rates of more than 1,000 euros per month, and of these, 14 exceed the Barcelona average of 1,077 euros. Among these municipalities, Cabrils stands out, where the average rent is 1,583 euros, and Sant Vicenç de Montalt, with a cost of 1,541 euros per month. Cabrils, located in the Maresme region, is distinguished by its natural surroundings and its proximity to Mataró, while Sant Vicenç de Montalt is located between privileged coastal towns, such as Sant Andreu de Llavaneres and Arenys de Mar.

The "golden mile" of the Maresme
Interestingly, the Maresme is emerging as one of the most exclusive regions of Catalonia in terms of rental rates. Cabrera de Mar, with a price of 1,310 euros, also figures in this select group. Alongside it, other towns such as Sant Andreu de Llavaneres (1,201 euros) and Premià de Dalt (1,189 euros) make up what we could call a "golden mile", where the quality of life and the natural environment further boost the demand for rentals. Teià and Alella, with prices of 1,140 euros and 1,112 euros, respectively, also stand out in this context.

Metropolitan areas with high demand
In addition to these coastal towns, other municipalities close to Barcelona, ​​such as Sant Cugat (1,252 euros) and Sant Just Desvern (1,217 euros), have rental figures that exceed the average for the capital. These places, recognised for their quality of life and proximity to the city, offer an excellent investment opportunity. Matadepera, the richest municipality in Catalonia, is also on the list, with an average rent of 1,151 euros per month.

Finally, it is important to note that other coastal towns, such as Sitges (1,100 euros) and Castelldefels (1,089 euros), also exceed the Barcelona average, consolidating the idea that the Catalan coast is a highly desirable place to live.

Given the current panorama of the real estate market, both investing in the city of Barcelona and investing in these towns not only represents an attractive opportunity, but also translates into a profitable long-term strategy. With the increasing pressure on rental prices in Barcelona and the demand for housing in nearby areas, the aforementioned towns offer a favorable environment to maximize the return on investment through rental. This analysis highlights the importance of diversifying investments in the Catalan real estate sector, thus capitalizing on the opportunities presented by these constantly growing towns.
