Looking for an apartment or flat for sale on the Costa del Maresme, Spain? Stretching north from Barcelona to the Costa Brava, this elegant coastal corridor offers a rare combination of seaside tranquillity, year-round convenience, and proximity to the city—making it one of the most desirable regions for both apartments and flats in Catalonia. Whether you are seeking a modern apartment with panoramic sea views, a beachside flat with rental potential, or a primary residence with commuter access to Barcelona, the Maresme market delivers the perfect balance of lifestyle and value.

Why Buy an Apartment or Flat on the Costa del Maresme?

Maresme is known for wide sandy beaches, upscale villages, and fast train access to Barcelona. It suits both local and international buyers who want sea-view apartments and flats, long-term growth, and a balanced lifestyle. Key advantages include direct RENFE connections to Barcelona in about thirty to fifty minutes, walkable beaches and coastal promenades, modern developments with pools, elevators, and parking, excellent infrastructure with schools, medical centres, and shopping, lower density and cleaner air than urban Barcelona, and attractive rental demand from expatriates, city professionals, and holiday guests. In short, Maresme combines the ease of a commuter town with the peace of a Mediterranean retreat.

Where to Buy Apartments and Flats on the Costa del Maresme?

Alella and Masnou lie just twenty minutes from Barcelona and offer modern apartments and flats with terraces as well as select seafront units with marina access, a favourite for professionals and wine enthusiasts. Premia de Dalt and Vilasar de Mar are stylish and well kept, with beachside flats and apartments, strong schools, and a cohesive local community, making them suitable for both first-time buyers and second-home seekers.

Mataró, the commercial hub of the Maresme, provides excellent value in new-build apartments and renovated flats close to all services and the beach. For commuters and expatriates, Mongat and Teiá are popular thanks to some of the fastest train links to Barcelona; apartments and flats here rent well and appreciate steadily.

Why choose the Costa del Maresme for buying an apartment or flat?

Maresme blends Mediterranean calm with true commuter convenience. You get sea views, walkable beaches, modern buildings with pools and parking, and fast RENFE links to Barcelona — without the density or air quality trade-offs of the city. It’s a balanced lifestyle with solid long-term value. 

Which Maresme towns are best for different buyer profiles?

Alella and El Masnou suit professionals who want quick access to Barcelona and marinas. Vilassar de Mar and Premia de Dalt attract families seeking schools, community and beachside living. Cabrera de Mar offers privacy and low-rise elegance with views. Mataró delivers excellent value near services. Montgat and Teia are commuter favorites with strong rental appeal. 

What property types are most common in Maresme?

You’ll find seafront flats with balconies and beach access, contemporary apartments in gated communities with pools, lifts and garages, renovated character flats in historic centers, and penthouses with large terraces and panoramic views. Turnkey, licence-ready units for short- or mid-term lets also exist in select zones. 

How do prices for apartments and flats typically range in Maresme?

Most quality options fall roughly between €250,000 and €600,000 depending on size, finishes and distance to the sea. Prime penthouses and first-line or high-floor sea-facing flats in towns like Alella or Vilassar can exceed €800,000. 

Is Maresme suitable for full-time residence or mainly holidays?

It’s ideal for year-round living. The corridor combines international schools, hospitals, retail, sport and transport with quieter, cleaner coastal neighborhoods — so primary homes, second residences and investment units all make sense here. 

What is the commute like to Barcelona?

The coastal RENFE line runs frequently, with typical journey times to central Barcelona in roughly 30–45 minutes depending on the town. Road access via the C-32 is equally straightforward for drivers. 

How strong is the rental market for apartments and flats in Maresme?

Demand is robust across both long-term and seasonal segments. Properties near beaches or train stations, and flats with terraces, parking or pools, see the most consistent occupancy. Commuter-friendly towns also attract professionals and expatriates. 

Are there planning or coastal restrictions buyers should know about?

Yes. Coastal protection and municipal planning preserve low-rise skylines and limit dense new development. That safeguards views, neighborhood character and long-term values. Due diligence should always confirm licences, community rules and building quality. 

Can international buyers purchase easily in Maresme, and what costs apply?

Spain allows full foreign ownership. Expect ~10% VAT on new builds or ~10% ITP on resales, plus approximately 2–3% for notary, registry and legal fees. We provide a clear, itemized cost breakdown before you commit. 

Why buy with GG Real Estate Barcelona on the Costa del Maresme?

We represent only the buyer, giving you independent advice, access to off-market and pre-market listings, legal and mortgage coordination, and precise local insight on zoning, licences and building standards.
