Goya is the way into Barrio de Salamanca, the grid Madrid laid out east of the Castellana in the late nineteenth century for its wealthy. Wide straight streets, porters in the lobbies, luxury retail on Serrano and Ortega y Gasset, and an orderliness with nothing in common with the tangle of the old centre.
This is a prestige address and it is priced as one: a median of 2,000€ and 30.0€/m², the highest price per square metre of the ten neighbourhoods here. In return the flats are larger, with a median of 68 m², and the buildings are among the best equipped in the city. The typical tenant is a senior professional, a well-off Madrid family, or a relocating expat whose employer covers the rent. If a company is paying, this is often where you land.
It is not a place to hunt for a bargain, and not a place for nightlife. The area closes early, street life is discreet, and the 297 listings we analysed move quickly between agencies. What you are buying is calm, good schools and a faultless location.
Transport: metro lines L2 and L4 (Goya), L4 (Velázquez, Serrano), L2 and L9 (Príncipe de Vergara), L4, L5 and L6 (Diego de León).
46% of rental flats in Goya have two bedrooms, followed by 22% with one bedroom. Studios make up 6% of the supply, and flats with four or more bedrooms, 3%.
Lift. 93% of rental homes here have a lift. Nine in ten homes have a lift. These are large, formal nineteenth-century buildings where a lift, and often a doorman, has been part of the standard for decades.
Private landlord or agency. 6% of listings are posted by a private landlord, against 94% that come through an agency. As in most of Madrid, the supply is dominated by agencies.
The median rent in Goya is €2,400 a month. Most flats let for between €1,525 and €3,305 a month: a quarter of the supply falls below €1,525, and another quarter goes above €3,305.
Per square metre that works out at 31.6€/m². Applied to real floor areas, a 50 m² flat lands around €1,580 a month, a 70 m² flat around €2,210, and a 90 m² flat around €2,840.
Against the city as a whole, Goya sits 50% above the Madrid median (€1,600/month), where the median price per square metre is 26.8€/m².
In Goya, only 10% of listings go below 22.2€/m². If you find a 70 m² flat at €1,550 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 Goya sits at 26.4€/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.
