Sant Celoni is a peaceful and green town located about 45 km northeast of Barcelona, at the foot of the Montseny mountains. It combines well-developed infrastructure, small-town charm, and direct rail access to Barcelona, making it a great choice for both permanent living and real estate investment.
The town is popular with those who seek a countryside atmosphere with urban convenience: spacious apartments, houses with gardens, proximity to nature — along with a stable rental market and excellent transport links.
GG Real Estate Barcelona recommends Sant Celoni as a sustainable destination for family living and investment in a close-in suburb of Barcelona with long-term growth potential.
