Where To Live In Valencia Spain: Arrancapins Neighborhood

Where To Live In Valencia Spain. This is the first of me venturing out to capture different barrios to live if considering a move to Valencia. The Arrancapins area is my favorite barrio and had we been able to afford an apartment there, I would have stayed there for sure. Prices had gone up immensely by the time we bought (when we moved in, we were happy to see flats for about 100,000 for 3 bedrooms, and by the time we were ready, they had doubled in price. Arrancapins is part of the Extramurs district ( along with Botànic, La Roqueta, and La Petxina where we've also lived before). I love it because it has a nice mixture of locals and ex-pats (seeing upticks of more and more ex-pats). It has all the perks of Russafa without the hifalutinness (yes, l know 😀). Lower cost of apartments, nice mix of buildings, a massive gym, lots of restaurants, cafes and nightclubs. Russafa is nice, don't get me wrong, but l find that there is a cult of pretentious blowhards who think the sun shines and sets there, like they're trying to make it Valencia's version of the Hamptons, only they're not rich, but rather people with a bit of money who now feel rich compared to others because of their lower costs of living. Thankfully, it's not the majority of them. In Arrancapins, I see people with stealth money, the ones who don't feel the need to prove themselves to anyone, sort of like old money people. It's quite interesting to see and observe. Once again, let me say this is strictly MY observation and it's okay if you don't agree.
