If you are thinking of making your move to Valencia with your family and looking forward to watching the kids assimilate into the Spanish way of life, maybe your parents or in-laws come over and stay with you for a month or two then you can stop reading now because this is not the property for you.

Located right behind the town hall and just a few minutes’ walk to the Old Town if you go one way, and Russafa if you go the other, this is the ideal apartment for all you singles or maybe even a couple (just don’t go getting any ideas about adding to the family) who crave the cities culture, vibrancy, nightlife, restaurants and bars close to hand.

Situated on the top floor this apartment is what is known as a “Piso de Portero” or doorman’s apartment. The doorman is long gone in this building, but the apartment still stands and has access to the communal terrace through the living room and through the kitchen. While the terrace isn’t part of the property, you have pretty much exclusive access to it and there is no problem having a BBQ and some furniture out there for you to enjoy. The elevator comes all the way up to your door as well, which isn’t usually the case with these apartments where you generally the elevator stops on the floor below and you walk up the last flight.

There is a parking space included in the price and even if you aren’t planning on having a car what with Valencia being so pedestrian/bike friendly, you can rent this space out for a pretty penny. Being top floor, the traffic noise below is an afterthought (There is very little traffic inn Valencia city centre these days anyway) and having nobody above you means you can cremate whatever animals you fancy on the grill and nobody will be complaining about the smell / inviting themselves down for dinner.

You don’t see too many properties come up that are so central at this price these days so get in touch if you like what you see.
