Though Passeig de Gracia has long been considered Barcelona\u2019s smartest address, with house prices to match, the city\u2019s other grand boulevard \u2013 Passeig de Sant Joan \u2013 is lesser known, but in some ways now a smarter residential choice.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When\u00a0Barcelona\u2019s Eixample district<\/a>\u00a0was planned it was always envisaged that Passeig de Gracia and Passeig de Sant Joan (as they are known in Catalan) would be the city\u2019s two grandest streets, with imposing buildings looking onto wide, tree-lined avenues. Passeig de Gracia has played that role from the beginning but it seems that, despite a promising start, Passeig de Sant Joan never fulfilled its potential to be the sister street to Passeig de Gracia, even if it did manage to attract some of Barcelona\u2019s wealthiest families when it was first built.<\/p>\n

Whilst Passeig de Gracia became the smart street to live on, and attracted all the luxury brands in recent decades, Passeig de Sant Joan fell behind, and even went a bit shabby in places for a while. The wholesale rag-trade took up shop in the area near the Arc de Triomf in the 1990s.<\/p>\n

But after a big recent refurbishment of the boulevard by City Hall, the street\u2019s attractions are starting to shine, and Passeig de Sant Joan is making a comeback with savvy\u00a0local buyers. An article in Sunday\u2019s La Vanguardia property supplement by Mar Claramonte, one of Spain\u2019s leading property journalists, pointed out what more and more locals are thinking \u2013 that Passeig de Sant Joan is a smart alternative to Passeig de Gracia. La Vanguardia is Catalonia\u2019s leading daily paper (published in Barcelona), and Claramonte has her finger on the pulse.<\/p>\n

SMART LOCATION<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"

Passeig de Sant Joan has a great location in the city, running from the Arc de Triomf in the South East up towards\u00a0Gracia<\/a>\u00a0in the North West. The Parc de la Ciutadella, the Born, the beach, and Passeig de Gracia are all walking distance. This is a street at the heart of Barcelona.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a wide, bright street with lots of space and light, green areas, playgrounds, and ample, uncrowded\u00a0pavements, plus a bike lane in the middle. The area has good public transport, health facilities, schools, shops, trendy restaurants, and great neighbourhood vibe. It\u2019s a pleasant place for families to spend time\u00a0\u2013 a big selling point from a residential angle.<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t say the same about Passeig de Gracia, which is\u00a0an increasingly impersonal street of international shops, hotels, and offices, not to mention swarms of tourist. Even the iconic interior-design shop Vin\u00e7on, so identified with Barcelona and Passeig de Gracia, couldn\u2019t hold out any longer against tourism and global brands. You could argue that Passeig de Gracia has lost some of its local charm.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Passeig de Sant Joan, on the other hand, is all about local charm and attractive public space. \u201cYou are in the middle of the Eixample and can enjoy all the best that it has to offer but without the downside of overcrowding in other areas, because public spaces also determine quality of life,\u201d local developer Jan Maarten Goedemans, of ARC Properties, told Claramonte, quoted in La Vanguardia. \u201cSome clients have told me that for that reason Paseo de Gracia and its surroundings are no longer an option.\u201d<\/p>\n

So if you want to live on one of Barcelona\u2019s grandest streets, in a classy neighbourhood with local charm close to everything and\u00a0not over-crowded, then take a look at Passeig de Sant Joan, where house prices are still around 25% or more cheaper than Passeig de Gracia, according to Alex Vaughan, founding partner of Barcelona-based\u00a0Lucas Fox International Properties<\/a>.<\/p>\n

ON THE MARKET \u2013 AUSI\u00c0S MARCH 49<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"

One option for buyers looking at the Passeig de Sant Joan area\u00a0is a new development on Calle Ausias March, 49, just off Passeig de Sant Joan. This building redevelopment by ARC Properties will offer ultra-modern homes with bright, open distributions (and underground parking) in a classic setting just a few yards from Passeig de Sant Joan.<\/p>\n
