Been here two months. I live in Montolivet, which is just below Rusafa. I walk through Rusafa every day on my way to the center of the town. I am also about a 15 minute walk from the city of arts and sciences. I would like to be a bit closer to the center, but this is affordable and I get my exercise from walking every day. :)

I’m jealous. I think that during high season you will be really glad to be in Montolivet! I also really love walking everywhere so it would be good for us. How are you liking it overall so far?

Thanks for making this video! We're planning to move in September and have been researching different areas. Your video gave us a great impression of the city. It seems like there's so much to do in terms of cultural events, diversity, and entertainment options. Plus, there are plenty of beautiful parks to enjoy. We want to live within walking distance of our favorite activities since we're ditching the car. That way, we can easily access the things we love without relying on transportation. I'm thrilled that I've completed four years of Spanish lessons and hope to communicate with most Spaniards. Good luck and keep up the great work!

Have you guys made the move to Valencia now? Where did you end up? I am Anglo-American and I lived in SoCal (Carlsbad & San Diego) for 20 years and now back in UK :( Am trying to encourage my husband to move to Valencia! We stayed at Hotel Las Arenas near to El Cabaynal and loved the Michelin starred tapas bar near there. Miss SoCal, so Valencia seems like a good alternative!

Hi! We haven’t made the move yet, have had some happy events occur that have delayed us. However we’re currently in Spain scouting and will be in Valencia in a week to met with tax attorneys, etc. have been in Spain for a few weeks and forgot how very much we love it here.

We are planning on moving near the end of summer from San Francisco to Valencia. It’s me, my wife, and our 11 year old son and dog. We prefer a slightly quieter environment. Prefer no sewage smells, LOL. Any good neighborhoods to consider? Cost range for a 3 bedroom 110m+ apartment. What were the other ways to identify properties with legitimacy as you mentioned?

@@ivanhannel we traveled a few areas just outside of Valencia, Silla is lovely and took us about 14 minutes to get into the train station next to the bull fighting ring. Burjassot was great and a very quick metro into the city. El Botánico, also lovely. We're moving from southern oregon.

Bear in mind that It gets very noisy during Las Fallas. So if you get upset by noise, choose a building w/o comisión fallera, because they are open literally all night long. New apartment blocks are being built up near the new La Fe hospital.

Boy oh boy have we been warned about the noise during Las Fallas! But what a party!! We'll check out the apartments near the hospital, thanks for the tip!

@CloserToHappy was just at those new units being built 3 weeks ago. The buildings are nice and going up everywhere. Super wide sidewalks and great bike lanes but also way away from everything, no metro (yet?) Unless you walk to the tram stop 15 minutes and that only goes to Russafa. For a purchase and wait that area may be good, but far from ready imo. Just too far from everything.

Thank you for the informative and fun video! We are retired educators looking to move to Valencia. I grew up in LA (three careers there) and we lived in Valencia, among other SoCal areas. Spain seems to offer a walkable and affordable lifstyle. Question: do you plan on renting long term, or will you buy? I ask bc we are asking ourselfs the question. Thanks! Gracias! Dean & Cindy

@CloserToHappy 3 ай бұрын

Hi Dean. We're planning to rent initially until we find our perfect neighborhood, it's really hard to tell if you vibe with a place until you've spent some time there, there are so many variables. Spain does offer a walkable and affordable lifestyle, depending on where you live, of course. We simply love Valencia!

Hello, my name is Rick. Patricia my wife and I lived in Valencia for 8 months in 2023. After fully understanding how the wealth tax works, we decided to come back to the US. We're you able to figure out the overall tax situation? If not, I'd be happy to share my findings with you. I did hire specialized tax attorneys in Valencia who were very clear and helpful.
