If you have to point out the negative side of the neighbourhood, it would be that it does not have large green areas, although in the neighbouring district of El Guinardó many can be found.
On the subject of real estate, the neighbourhood has several differentiated areas. You can find wide avenues with large blocks of medium-sized housing, although it is also easy to find large apartments for large families. And there are also other areas with a rural air, with low-rise blocks of flats and with pedestrian passages with low houses with a backyard or roof terrace.
Some of the neighbourhood shops, which have been forced to close by the competition of certain supermarkets, have been converted into homes, usually ending up as beautiful lofts with modern design and a backyard.
