Living beyond the M30 not only offers a good quality of life but perhaps an even better one compared to the increasingly overcrowded city center.

In this article, we highlight the advantages of living in a place like Valdebebas, specifically in Skypark Valdebebas, and the quality of life you can achieve by moving slightly away from the center.

Connectivity and Location of Sanchinarro, Las Tablas, and Valdebebas

At first glance on Google Maps, it’s clear that these three neighborhoods are close to each other. From east to west, we find (Skypark) Valdebebas, Las Tablas, and Sanchinarro, with the latter being the northernmost.

Thus, Valdebebas is not only closer to the city center but is also very close to the Adolfo Suárez – Madrid Barajas airport. It’s perfectly situated for quick access to this global transportation hub in just five minutes by car, without being bothered by air traffic noise.

By car, it’s only a 12-minute drive from Skypark Valdebebas to Plaza Castilla, similar to the time it takes from Sanchinarro and Las Tablas. Additionally, the upcoming extension of metro line 11 (with a stop at Valdebebas Norte) will provide the area with one of Madrid’s key public transportation arteries, running from the city’s southwest to the northeast with multiple strategic connections.

Key Advantages of Skypark vs. Renting in Sanchinarro and Las Tablas

Skypark’s real estate development is consciously and strategically located in Valdebebas. It’s no coincidence that this is one of Madrid’s most rapidly growing neighborhoods. Located in the city’s northeast, Valdebebas has transformed from a sparsely populated area to one of the most sought-after and fastest-growing districts in the capital, with a focus on sustainability, innovation, and quality of life. As a result, many people initially searching for rentals in Sanchinarro or Las Tablas end up choosing Valdebebas instead.

Moreover, Valdebebas doesn’t suffer from the structural issues that have plagued Sanchinarro and Las Tablas since their inception. These areas were impacted by poorly planned growth that failed to meet the basic needs for services, particularly in terms of transportation.

The arrival of major companies like Telefónica and BBVA created an uncontrolled housing demand in Sanchinarro and Las Tablas, pushing rental prices beyond reasonable limits and causing significant real estate pressure. This has led to overcrowded schools unable to meet families’ educational needs, and insufficient sports, leisure, and recreational facilities, among other services.

Furthermore, the difficulty of accessing major highways (M40) causes frequent traffic jams in these areas, a problem not faced by Skypark Valdebebas, which is seamlessly connected to Madrid’s road network via its straightforward access to the M30 through the M11.

Renting an apartment in Valdebebas is also ideal for those not accustomed to the crowds and fast-paced lifestyle typical of Madrid. In Valdebebas, residents can enjoy a peaceful stay while still being close enough to the city center, which can be visited anytime thanks to the excellent transport options available.

All this is surrounded by green spaces, as Skypark Valdebebas is set amidst parks, including the Felipe VI park, Madrid’s largest green space after Casa de Campo. This vast park, visible from Skypark’s residences, spans hundreds of hectares and provides a ‘park-front’ lifestyle.

Why is Valdebebas Ahead of Sanchinarro and Las Tablas?

While Sanchinarro and Las Tablas had their moment during the development of the PAUs (Urban Development Program), they reached their peak years ago. Today, they are perceived as areas tied to the past. In contrast, Valdebebas, located close to the airport, home to Real Madrid’s Sports City, and featuring ongoing projects like the Financial District and a major healthcare campus, represents the future. Valdebebas has evolved significantly over the past 15-20 years, evidenced by its 27-kilometer bike lane, the recent opening of HM Valdebebas hospital, the upcoming Sanitas hospital, and the renovation of Real Madrid’s Sports City, among other developments.

Additionally, Valdebebas’ commitment to modern architecture, which goes beyond traditional residential blocks, has made it a benchmark in urban planning and an attractive site for ambitious architectural firms. Skypark Valdebebas, with its sleek lines and clean, captivating design, undoubtedly falls into this category.

Moreover, the Valdebebas Shopping Center, currently under construction, will be an architecturally innovative space, featuring large leisure areas, green spaces, and seamless integration with the residential environment. The neighborhood will also offer a rich variety of dining options, including top bars, restaurants, and cafés, along with medical centers, gyms, beauty clinics, pharmacies, daycare centers, and everything else needed for daily life.

For all these reasons, and many more, Skypark Valdebebas stands out as the best location for renting in northern Madrid. Don’t hesitate to contact us for more information—you’re just a step away from achieving a better lifestyle.
