Moving to Barcelona for a few months - whether you’re studying abroad, doing an internship, or working remotely - is one of the most exciting choices you can make. But before diving into tapas nights, beach sunsets, and weekend adventures, there’s one crucial decision to make: choosing the right neighborhood to call home.

Barcelona’s diversity is what makes it so special. Each district has its own personality, energy, and rhythm. Whether you’re drawn to bohemian charm, beachside living, or modern city comfort, there’s a perfect corner of the city waiting for you.

At LiveFurther, we help international students, young professionals, and digital nomads find fully furnished mid-term rooms in some of the best areas in Barcelona. More than just a rental, we create a community, offering ongoing support throughout your stay and organising social events twice a month so you can meet like-minded people from around the world.

If you’re looking for a peaceful, modern area that’s still close to the beach, El Clot, Poblenou, and Sant Martí are fantastic options. This part of Barcelona combines innovation and tranquillity, filled with offices, coworking spaces, and parks where locals gather in the sun. It’s the perfect mix of productivity and relaxation, ideal for remote workers and students who value both focus and fun.

These neighbourhoods are extremely well connected, with several metro lines (Clot, Glòries, Poblenou) and easy bike access to the seaside. The cost of living is more affordable compared to the city centre, yet you’re only a short ride away from everywhere you need to be.

In El Clot we offer different options for rooms in Carrer Sant Joan de Malta 45, and our flat El Paraíso.

Les Corts is one of Barcelona’s most peaceful and traditional districts, making it a favourite among students who prefer calm surroundings. It’s also home to major universities like ESADE, IESE, and the University of Barcelona, which means you’ll find a friendly, international mix of residents.

The neighbourhood is clean, well-organised, and full of small parks and cafés - perfect for studying or taking a breather after class. With excellent transport connections, you can easily reach the city centre without giving up that quiet residential vibe.

If you imagine your Barcelona experience surrounded by iconic architecture, beautiful boulevards, and everything at your doorstep, Eixample might be your match. Its streets are lined with shops, cafés, gyms, and language schools, making it one of the city’s most convenient and stylish areas to live in.

It’s also perfectly located for students attending the Universitat de Barcelona or nearby academies. Eixample feels both elegant and lively, safe to walk at any hour, and buzzing with life on every corner.

Barceloneta is where the sea meets the city - a dream for anyone who wants to wake up a few steps from the sand. This neighbourhood offers the best of both worlds: the charm of an old fishing quarter and the energy of modern Barcelona.

Living here means daily swims, sunset walks along the promenade, and endless seafood tapas nights. It’s social, lively, and ideal for short or mid-term stays, especially for remote workers and expats who want to enjoy the Mediterranean lifestyle to the fullest.

If you’re looking for a neighbourhood that feels like a small town within the city, you’ll love Gràcia. Known for its artistic and bohemian atmosphere, Gràcia is full of independent boutiques, charming squares, and cosy cafés where locals and expats mingle.

It’s a favourite among Erasmus students, creatives, and freelancers who want an authentic Barcelona experience, one that feels more local than touristy. Life here moves at a slower pace, yet every evening the plazas come alive with music, laughter, and community spirit.

Sant Antoni has quickly become one of Barcelona’s trendiest areas, and for good reason. It’s full of stylish brunch spots, boutique gyms, and local markets - especially the beautifully renovated Mercat de Sant Antoni.

Located between Eixample and Poble-sec, it’s central without feeling overcrowded. The vibe is relaxed yet lively, and it attracts a young, international crowd of professionals and students who love its mix of convenience and character.

If you’re still unsure which area suits you best, start by thinking about your lifestyle. Are you coming to Barcelona to study or work remotely?
