We always bang on about how great Valencia is to live, we know we do. We do it because it is. We say Valencia has a great mix of everything you want in a place to live and it’s true. You don’t have to believe us of course. But if you aren’t going to believe us who should you believe?

Valencia is a great city with so much to offer that many people decide it has to be Valencia and nothing outside will work for them. Some of those people drill down to a certain area of Valencia and we have even got a client at the moment who wants a particular street. Of course we say that Valencia is great all the time in this blog, you can check back if you want, but we also appreciate areas outside Valencia.

Some people want a place that is a bit quieter and further from the madding crowd than Central Valencia. Some people’s budgets won’t stretch to what they want in the city so areas outside make more sense for them. The truth is that once you get inland and away from the coast prices are hugely affordable for many more people to get exactly what they want.

At Valencia Property we appreciate all areas of our city. We have written before about the different districts in Valencia so you get an idea about what is available in each location (See the four guides to Valencia here) and we point out advantages and disadvantages of each area. One thing we notice though is that lots of people insist “It has to be Ruzafa for me“.

Therefore we thought it was time to inform you about the latest properties we have for sale both in Ruzafa and also around Ruzafa so you can get more of an idea of what is available and the price range. We will update this post regularly with properties in and around Ruzafa as they are sold or come onto the market.

You might love the location, you may love the idea of becoming a part of the community in that area, you maybe don’t love the state of the electrics in a property. Perhaps the thought of having popcorn walls (Gotelé) forever fills you with dread… that bathroom just has to go… omfg look at the kitchen… you get the idea. Your perfect apartment or house might not look perfect when you walk into it but you know one thing at least… it has “potential“, lots of it, in spades and you want to make it yours. You know you can make your mark on it and enjoy doing a project. Your big question is though, how much is it going to cost me to modernise the apartment I want to buy?

Today we look at typical costs for modernising based on some baseline criteria, mid range quality fixtures and fittings, decent quality tiles and flooring and typical costs for the workers
