04 · History and housing
Montbau: planned housing at the foot of Collserola
Montbau · Horta-Guinardó · Barcelona
Neighbourhood history
Montbau developed through municipal housing promoted from 1959 on former estates belonging to Horta. Residential blocks, open spaces and the nearby woodland introduced a new pattern of housing on this hillside.
In Montbau, compare layout, orientation and floor level alongside lifts and access to the block. Review shared spaces, building improvements and the walking route to the metro. The neighbourhood average cannot reflect all these differences between individual homes.
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?
