Jerónimos: living next to El Retiro with history, art and outstanding quality of life

Jerónimos: living Madrid between El Retiro and the Paseo del Prado

Living in Jerónimos means enjoying Madrid on foot, with El Retiro Park as your private garden and the Paseo del Prado as your cultural axis. It is one of the most exclusive areas in the city centre: quiet, green and defined by a refined architectural heritage. If you are considering buying an apartment in Madrid or looking for luxury property in Madrid with strong liquidity, Jerónimos should be at the top of your list.

Location and lifestyle

The neighbourhood stretches between Alfonso XII, the Paseo del Prado, O’Donnell and the Puerta de Alcalá. Daily life unfolds between walks in El Retiro, quiet cafés and world-class museums just minutes away: the Prado, Thyssen and Reina Sofía form part of the UNESCO-listed Landscape of Light.

The atmosphere is that of a classic residential quarter, with representative buildings, concierge service and mature trees, while remaining fully connected to the rest of the city.

Residential property: historic buildings and discreet penthouses

The residential stock consists mainly of early 20th-century buildings and rationalist properties with protected façades, wrought-iron balconies and generous ceiling heights. Spacious 2–4 bedroom apartments are common, along with penthouses offering views over treetops or iconic landmarks such as the Puerta de Alcalá or El Retiro itself.

Buildings with lifts, concierge service, up-to-date technical inspections and timeless finishes retain value and sell quickly.

What drives the premium in Jerónimos

• Prime frontage facing El Retiro or along Alfonso XII and Puerta de Alcalá.
• Upper floors and orientation providing continuous light and open views.
• High-quality refurbishments with acoustic insulation and efficient climate systems.
• Preservation of original features such as mouldings and proportions.
• Garage (private or automated) and storage room.

Lifestyle: culture, outdoor activity and services

Jerónimos invites residents to exercise in the park, visit museums during the week and enjoy high-quality local dining. Everyday needs are covered by nearby shops, supermarkets, pharmacies, schools and leading healthcare facilities.

The Botanical Garden and the Prado–Recoletos avenues provide outstanding urban quality rarely found in city centres.

Mobility: everything within reach

Retiro, Prado–Atocha, Ibiza and Banco de España stations connect several metro and commuter lines. Recoletos, Serrano and Goya are all within walking distance.

By car, access to the M-30 and A-2 is fast, and the airport is approximately 20–25 minutes away under normal traffic conditions.

Who is Jerónimos for?

For those who prioritise tranquillity, green surroundings and culture without giving up central city living. Families, professionals with an active cultural agenda and international buyers seeking luxury homes in Madrid in an irreplaceable location.

Buying and renting: market outlook

Property for sale in Jerónimos: supply is limited. Turnkey homes with park views are absorbed quickly. Renovation projects require a clear strategy to unlock their full potential.

Rental market: strong executive and international demand for 1–3 bedroom apartments, tastefully furnished, well insulated and offering building services.
