With views of the sea and a location approximately 200 metres from the coast, this apartment is set in Vila Olímpica, one of Barcelona’s established waterfront districts. The beach, Olympic Marina, Parc de la Ciutadella, restaurants, shops and public transport are all close by, while international schools are also available nearby.

The property has a built area of 137 m² and a useful area of 96 m². Its practical layout comprises two bedrooms, one bathroom, a living room with large windows, a separate equipped kitchen and a laundry room. The apartment also benefits from natural light, parquet flooring and built-in wardrobes.

The living spaces are complemented by sea and surrounding park views, creating a clear connection with the coastal setting. Heating, air conditioning, an alarm system and a lift add everyday convenience, while the existing layout offers scope for a high-quality renovation according to the new owner’s requirements.

An underground parking space is available as an additional option for €20,000. The property is suited to buyers seeking a residence by the sea or a renovation project in a well-connected Barcelona neighbourhood, with the area’s beaches, marina, services and city-centre connections close at hand.

Part of the Sant Martí district of Barcelona, La Vila Olímpica del Poblenou – to give it its full name – was extensively redeveloped in the early 1990s in the run-up to the city hosting the Olympic Summer Games. Home to just under 10,000 inhabitants these days, the former Olympic park is a trendy urban residential area with plenty to offer its inhabitants. Located close to Ciutadella Park, some of the city's best beaches and with its own Metro station, many inhabitants live and work there year round. There is also an attractive marina in the district, unsurprisingly called Olympic Port. Known for its restaurants, bars and nightlife, few districts in the city are as vibrant.

Ever since the 1992 Olympic Games highlighted just how attractive the city was for visitors, Vila Olímpica has been an on-trend place to stay. Many of its apartments are lived in as permanent residences but you will also find investors who have had success buying property to rent out. Holiday rentals in the district are popular throughout the year, not just in summer. Close to all of the main attractions in the city, Vila Olímpica really does have it all.

Barcelona remains one of the most exciting cities in Europe to live and visit. Few have made a success of the legacy of staging the Olympic Games in the way that Barcelona has and this is very much in evidence in Vila Olímpica.
