04 · History and housing

El Poble-sec, between Paral·lel and Montjuïc

El Poble-sec · Sants-Montjuïc · Barcelona

Neighbourhood history

The neighbourhood grew in the mid-nineteenth century on former market gardens at the foot of Montjuïc. Families arriving from the walled city helped transform this rural setting into a residential network of narrow streets.

Historical context: source consulted

What to check when valuing a home

When valuing a Poble-sec apartment, compare homes with similar positions in relation to slopes, streets and courtyards. Floor level, daylight and lift access can distinguish nearby buildings. The neighbourhood average is a reference point, not an individual home’s price.

A useful comparison starts with understanding what each figure measures. Open the historical tables and read the notes accompanying each indicator.

Are these asking prices or recorded sale prices?

The market section uses averages from recorded transactions, based on notarial statistics published by the City Council. These differ from the asking prices shown on property portals.

Why do the reference dates differ?

Sales, cadastral, population register and income data are released on different schedules. Each section shows its reference period. Viewing this page today does not mean all indicators relate to the same year.

Does the average floor area cover all homes?

The sales section measures the homes that were sold. The housing stock section measures homes recorded in the cadastre. These are different populations, so their averages can differ.

What do “Suppressed” and “Not published” mean?

“Suppressed” means the source withholds the information to protect confidentiality. “Not published” means no value is available for the category and period shown. Neither expression means zero.

Can I value my home using the price per m²?

The neighbourhood average is a general reference. An individual valuation requires an assessment of the exact location, floor area, floor level, lift, natural light, condition and building characteristics, together with suitable comparable properties.
