Real Estate Agency in Aravaca

How much does it cost to buy in Aravaca in 2026

According to idealista, the average sale price in Aravaca was 5,539 €/m² in July 2026, 2.6 % up on a year earlier and 3 % below the January peak (5,719 €/m²). Tinsa, which measures the whole Moncloa-Aravaca district, puts the value at 5,480 €/m² in the second quarter of 2026, with annual growth of 11 %.

The figures change depending on the source. Housfy, using registered transactions, gives a clearly lower value, around 3,800 €/m². Don't rely on a single average: the price depends more on the development and on whether there is a garden than on the neighbourhood itself.

• 2-bedroom apartment, about 70-100 m²: from around 325,000 € to nearly 650,000 € in current listings.
• Large apartment or duplex with garage: between 0.9 and 1.5 million in the most sought-after developments.
• Semi-detached or detached villa: from 1.8 to over 3 million in Diplomáticos and similar areas.

These are asking prices, not sale prices. Negotiating well requires recent comparables.

Which type of property dominates

Aravaca is not a neighbourhood of old blocks. According to idealista, most homes were built between 1990 and 1999, and the neighbourhood grew with private developments from that period and later. Communal areas with a swimming pool, padel court, children's play area and concierge are common.

The supply falls into three main groups:

• Villas and terraced houses in colonias such as Diplomáticos, with a plot, private pool and, in some cases, 24-hour security.
• Apartments and duplexes in developments such as Aravaca Garden, Altos de Aravaca or those along avenida del Talgo.
• Small apartments in the centre, close to the shopping area, for those who want to get into the neighbourhood on a smaller budget.

There are also small new-build schemes: the portals show developments of five homes with contemporary architecture. Housfy puts new build at around 4,800 €/m² against 3,900 €/m² for resale, although for luxury property the listings comfortably exceed those figures.

Renting in Aravaca

Fotocasa calculates an average rent of about 18 €/m² a month in Aravaca (July 2026), a rough figure because of limited data. For two bedrooms, the average rent is around 1,800 € a month, and for three or more it exceeds 2,400 €.

At the top end, villas in Diplomáticos are advertised at between about 5,500 and 8,000 € a month. Three-bedroom apartments with a garage on streets such as Valle de Pas or Doctor Balmis range between about 2,600 and 5,800 € a month, depending on size and finish.

It is a market with a clear profile: families moving to Madrid, executives, and diplomatic or corporate staff from around Pozuelo. If you are investing, the numbers work out better on 2-3 bedroom apartments with a garage than on large villas.

Transport and access

Aravaca has three networks in a single neighbourhood. The Aravaca Cercanías station (lines C7 and C10) replaced the old halt in 2005. The Metro Ligero ML2 stops at Berna and Estación de Aravaca and continues towards Pozuelo, with stops such as Prado del Rey. There are also urban and intercity buses.

By road, the neighbourhood sits next to the M-40 and the A-6, and the M-500 crosses the Casa de Campo towards Ciudad Universitaria. If you work in north-west Madrid or in Pozuelo, you can usually manage day to day without going into the centre.

One practical point: the Metro Ligero enters fare zone B1 on leaving the neighbourhood, while Cercanías and the EMT are in zone A. It is worth checking if you are going to use a travel pass.

Green space, schools and lifestyle

68 % of Aravaca's public space is green area, according to idealista. The neighbourhood has direct access to the Casa de Campo on its north-west side, and its own parks such as the Parque de Aravaca, the Parque Golondrina or the Parque del Arroyo. The Centro Deportivo Municipal Alfredo Goyeneche is at calle Arroyo de Pozuelo, 99.

In education, the district has 14 state schools and 28 state-subsidised private schools, according to municipal data collected by Hallamadrid. In the neighbourhood itself there are schools such as the colegio público Aravaca, on calle Estudio, and the Escuela Waldorf de Aravaca. Many villa listings highlight proximity to private schools in the area, so it is worth fixing your list of schools before choosing a street.

The atmosphere is that of a quiet, family neighbourhood, with a central shopping area and main streets such as Arroyo de Pozuelo or avenida de la Osa Mayor.
