Ode to an apartment on Avenida del Puerto (located conveniently close to the city centre...

We see it time and time again, Russafa is consistently one of the most sought-after barrios of the city to live in. Just being in this neighbourhood can add 50, 60 thousand or more to the asking price. So you expect to look at prices 200+, but this one in Calle Denia in the heart of Russafa is 300k! A bit much, even for Russafa? A bit crazy? No, we don't think so. For a start, despite what you might have been told...

Great bargain here. Really attractively priced apartment in En Corts, which is just across the road from Rusafa. Actually we have 2 apartments in the same building, one is exterior, the photos of which we are using here, the other is very similar in size and condition but is interior and so is a little cheaper (110.000)...

Well designed fully renovated apartment. It is near Ayora Park, a couple of hundred yards to the metro station there (line runs to the airport via the city centre and the beach), and a short walk from the riverbed. Second floor exterior property with a small balcony on a quiet street. So bright but not noisy. Inside there is an open plan american-style kitchen and living area. The kitchen is really well equipped...

This city centre property has been described as a funky apartment. What does that mean? For example, I went on holidays last month and when I came back the pesto I had left in the fridge was pretty funky. And this apartment is also something we had almost forgotten about but are now pushing to the top of our listings once again. It really is city centre, easier not to have a car here, everything is within easy walking distance...

This is a really nice apartment right in Russafa, just 5 minutes walk from Central Park and just as close to the city centre. It is a first floor apartment - and we know what first means, don't we? Yes, its a terrace! And a big one too, 40m2, plenty of room for table and chairs, already set up with a canopy for shade and a bit of privacy. Looking at the rest of the photos you can see the apartment has been recently renovated...

Shhhhh! This one is a secret! The owner wants to sell the house, but doesn't want the neighbours to know they're selling the house! So no photos of the outside of the house. To avoid the hordes of tyre-kickers who would undoubtedly descend on the place. Is it that good? Well actually its not bad. Its effectively a villa/chalet style house in the city. Its located near Orriols park...

One of the most curious features of Valencia, and maybe the best, is the riverbed park. What do you do with a river that floods regularly, causing death and destruction every few years? Well, you just move it, obviously...

With this apartment, its all about the views. Overlooking the Palau de la Música on the riverbed park, not only does this seventh floor property look out on the parkland and the City of Arts and Sciences, but you can see as far as Denia to the south, and the Sierra Calderona to the north. The only limiting factor really is the curvature of the earth. I mean, can you really put a price on that? Yes, yes you can...
