Best Neighborhoods to Live Near ESADE

Depending on which campus you'll attend, these are the neighborhoods most recommended by ESADE students to find your ideal accommodation. Living in Barcelona gives you the best of both worlds: proximity to campus and access to the city's vibrant lifestyle:

🏘️ For Sant Cugat Campus

Sarrià and Gràcia

If you're studying at Sant Cugat campus and want to live in Barcelona, Sarrià and Gràcia are your best options. From Sarrià train station, you reach Sant Cugat in just 16 minutes (lines S1, S2, or S5). From Gràcia station, the journey takes 22 minutes (lines S1 and S2).

Sarrià: Elegant residential neighborhood with charming streets, local markets, and excellent restaurants. Quiet yet well-connected.

Gràcia: Bohemian neighborhood with vibrant nightlife, independent shops, and a strong community feel. Popular among young professionals and students.

💰 Average room price: €500-700/month

🏘️ For Pedralbes Campus

Les Corts and Sant Gervasi

Les Corts is the closest neighborhood—you can walk to campus in 20-30 minutes or take Metro Line 3 (Les Corts to Palau Reial) for a shorter commute. Perfect if you prefer walking distance to campus.

Sant Gervasi is another excellent option. Take train Line 6 from La Bonanova to Reina Elisenda (5 minutes), then walk 11 minutes to campus. Or take bus 68 from Via Augusta-Ganduxer to Avinguda d'Esplugues—25 minutes total.

Eixample and Sant Antoni

Want to be in the heart of Barcelona? Eixample and Sant Antoni offer central living with excellent Metro and bus connections to both campuses.

💰 Average room price: €450-650/month

Why ESADE Students Choose Barcelona Over Sant Cugat

🌆 Vibrant City Life: World-class restaurants, bars, clubs, cultural events, and beach access right at your doorstep.

💼 Career Opportunities: Barcelona's startup ecosystem and multinational headquarters offer more internship and job prospects.
