Property for Sale in Santa Susanna, Costa de Barcelona

Santa Susanna is a beach resort town in the northern Maresme, close to the boundary with the province of Girona and the start of the Costa Brava. It has a long beach, a seafront lined with hotels and restaurants, and a station on the coastal railway line.

Its position makes it convenient for visitors who want to explore both the Maresme and the Costa Brava, and the beach area is the centre of life in summer. A quieter residential area sits further inland, and wooded hills rise behind the town.

Buyers are mainly holiday-home owners looking for a beachside apartment, together with some families and retirees who live here permanently.

Buyers who browse property for sale in Santa Susanna will find that the town rewards a little local research, because the character of each street can differ noticeably from the next.

Living in Santa Susanna

The beach is the focus of life in Santa Susanna, with the seafront offering a long promenade, restaurants and bars. The town centre is compact, and beyond the summer season it quiets down but keeps essential services open.

Pineda de Mar and Malgrat de Mar are neighbours with larger centres and more shops. Barcelona is typically about an hour and ten minutes by train, and the airport roughly an hour and 20 minutes by car.

Santa Susanna is the last stop on the Maresme before the Costa Brava, and it works well as a base for exploring both. A day trip north to Blanes and beyond is straightforward, while the other Maresme beach towns are along the coast to the south.

Santa Susanna belongs to the wider Barcelona province stretch of the Costa de Barcelona, which means buyers can compare it with neighbouring towns on the same railway line before deciding where to settle. Travel times, beach quality, local services and the feel of the streets all vary from one town to the next, so a short list of two or three places is a sensible starting point.

Buying property in Santa Susanna

Property purchases in Catalonia involve a reservation deposit, a private contract and a completion at the notary. In Santa Susanna, as elsewhere, a careful lawyer makes the difference.

• Secure an NIE early, as banks and notaries both ask for it
• Allow for transfer tax or VAT, stamp duty, notary and registration costs
• Have your lawyer verify the nota simple and the property's legal status
• Confirm that community fees and local taxes are up to date
• In tourist-oriented complexes, read the community statutes carefully for rules on pools, rentals and use of shared areas.
