How do I find a place to live in Barcelona?

We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered...

"One of the best ways to find a place to live in Barcelona is to use online rental websites such as Idealista, Fotocasa, and Habitaclia. These websites allow you to search for rental properties in Barcelona by location, price, and other criteria. Additionally, you can contact local real estate agents who specialize in renting properties in Barcelona. They can provide you with more information about the rental market and help you find a place that meets your needs. Finally, you can also look for rental postings on social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter," said another expat in Barcelona, Spain.

"Came over to look at properties to buy and having visited Barcelona all my life (my father is Spanish) pretty much knew where to look. Made up our minds after seeing 5 flats. We bought it through a wellknown local estate agency - too much red tape to try and do it privately, although many Spanish natives buy direct from sellers to cut out some of the (high) costs associated with buying property over here," wrote a member who made the move to Barcelona, Spain.
