Gaztambide is the student end of Chamberí, pressed up against Moncloa and within walking distance of the Complutense campus. Quiet streets, regular blocks, and a daily rhythm of cafés, stationers and set lunch menus that runs on the university calendar.
If you need space, this is the best arithmetic of the ten neighbourhoods here. The median flat is 76 m², the largest in this selection, at 24.6€/m², which is exactly the Madrid average. A median rent of 1,800€ is not cheap, but it buys real floor area, which is simply not available at that price in Malasaña or Lavapiés. Much of the stock is post-war, blocks from the 1950s and 1960s rather than nineteenth-century buildings, and it is better equipped as a result.
One more thing worth knowing: 11% of listings come from a private landlord, the highest share of the ten. That is still a small minority, but it is your best chance in this selection of dealing with an owner rather than an agency. The trade-off is atmosphere. Outside term time, the neighbourhood is very quiet.
Transport: metro lines L6 and L7 (Guzmán el Bueno), L7 (Islas Filipinas), L2 (Quevedo) and the Moncloa interchange (L3, L6).
28% of rental flats in Gaztambide have two bedrooms, followed by 25% with three bedrooms. Studios make up 5% of the supply, and flats with four or more bedrooms, 24%.
Lift. 88% of rental homes here have a lift. This is the best equipped stock of the ten neighbourhoods here, with more than nine in ten flats served by a lift, because post-war blocks dominate rather than nineteenth-century buildings.
Private landlord or agency. 22% of listings are posted by a private landlord, against 78% that come through an agency. That is one of the highest private-landlord shares in Madrid, so this is where you have the best chance of dealing with an owner directly.
The median rent in Gaztambide is €1,895 a month. Most flats let for between €1,362 and €2,875 a month: a quarter of the supply falls below €1,362, and another quarter goes above €2,875.
Per square metre that works out at 25.0€/m². Applied to real floor areas, a 50 m² flat lands around €1,250 a month, a 70 m² flat around €1,750, and a 90 m² flat around €2,250.
Against the city as a whole, Gaztambide sits 18% above the Madrid median (€1,600/month), where the median price per square metre is 26.8€/m².
In Gaztambide, only 10% of listings go below 16.6€/m². If you find a 70 m² flat at €1,160 a month or less, it is below the 10th percentile for the neighbourhood.
That does not make it a scam, but it is worth checking before you go any further. A price well below the local market is the single most common red flag in rental fraud.
For reference, the 25th percentile in Gaztambide sits at 20.1€/m². Below that, the price is good for the area without being anomalous.
We check that our sample can support a trend before publishing one, and right now it cannot. At the number of listings we analyse per period in Madrid, splitting that same data in half at random already produces swings of more than 15%, with no change in the market at all. Any percentage we published would describe the size of our sample rather than rents.
The prices on this page are unaffected: a median needs far less history than a trend does. We will publish the change again once we can compare two long periods on the same coverage.

Expect to be asked for your NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero) if you are a foreigner, your last few payslips or proof of income, your employment contract, and increasingly a bank guarantee or several months of deposit. None of it is a legal requirement of the contract itself, but applicants who turn up without the paperwork ready lose the flat to someone who has it. Assemble the folder before you start viewing.
