Discover why Valencia is one of Europe’s top destinations for international buyers — and how Bluekey Homes can guide you through every step of the process.
Valencia: A Mediterranean Gem for Expats
Valencia, Spain’s third-largest city, offers a unique mix of lifestyle, affordability, and opportunity — making it a top choice for expats looking to buy property in Europe. With over 300 days of sunshine a year, walkable neighborhoods, and a laid-back coastal culture, the city appeals to digital nomads, retirees, and professionals alike. Whether you're relocating for work, investing in a second home, or planning retirement, Valencia offers an exceptional quality of life.
Affordable Property Prices in a Competitive Market
Valencia continues to attract expats due to its relatively affordable property prices compared to other major Spanish cities. As of April 2025, the average residential property price in Valencia stands at approximately €2,886 per square meter, marking a 22.44% increase from May 2024. Despite this rise, prices remain lower than in Madrid and Barcelona, where averages exceed €3,000 per square meter. Valencia's diverse neighborhoods cater to various budgets: premium districts like L'Eixample and Ciutat Vella command prices between €3,200 and €4,300 per square meter, while more affordable areas such as Patraix and Benicalap offer properties ranging from €1,800 to €2,200 per square meter. This range provides opportunities for buyers seeking both luxury residences and investment properties with strong rental yields.
What Makes Valencia Ideal for Expats?
🌞 Mediterranean Lifestyle
From the beautiful beaches of Malvarrosa and El Saler to the tranquil Turia Gardens, Valencia offers a peaceful yet vibrant lifestyle. Expats enjoy local food markets, festivals like Las Fallas, and access to fresh seafood and Mediterranean cuisine.
🌐 Growing International Community
Valencia’s international population has steadily grown over the past decade. Popular neighborhoods like Ruzafa, El Carmen, and Canovas are home to expat-friendly cafes, international schools, and coworking spaces — creating a welcoming environment for newcomers.
🚲 Livable, Walkable, Connected
Valencia is compact, bike-friendly, and well-connected to the rest of Spain and Europe via high-speed rail and an international airport. Whether you’re working remotely or traveling frequently, it’s an ideal base.
