    Shortest modelled public transport journey

Commutes are modelled from neighbourhood centres; room rents are estimates for one person in a shared flat. Check the journey from the actual flat before choosing a home.

Sources and how we choose

We show the shortest modelled public transport journey and, where different, the lowest room rent within 10 minutes of that journey. These are starting points, not personalised matches. Times do not include live timetables or disruptions.

Rent period: 2026-Q1. Whole-flat rent and average surface: INCASÒL fiança registry, 2026-Q1, published quarterly as "Lloguers Barcelona per districtes i barris" on habitatge.gencat.cat and re-keyed per barri. Room prices are triangulated from district medians, platform snapshots and press (no public series exists below district level), and are indicative, not measured. Whole-flat rent: the municipal figure from the INCASÒL fiança registry via habitatge.gencat.cat and the Dades Obertes Catalunya municipal series, 2026-Q1. There is no barri-level row outside Barcelona, so no €/m² or average surface is published and none is estimated here. Room prices are triangulated from operator and platform listings, and are indicative, not measured.
