Buying a house in Argentona
Argentona is a Maresme town set between the Serralada Litoral and the sea: a stone's throw from Mataró and the coast, yet with quiet streets, houses with gardens and residential developments surrounded by greenery. That is why it is one of the most popular choices for families looking for space without moving too far from Barcelona.
11ars Real Estate is from Argentona: we live and work here. We know every neighbourhood and every development, and here we tell you what you need to know before buying.
What we like most about Argentona is that it is a peaceful town with very good connections: central Barcelona is about 35 minutes away and the beach is just 8. It used to be a second-home town; today most buyers come from Barcelona and live here all year round.

Property prices in Argentona
According to RealAdvisor data from July 2026, the average price in Argentona is around 2.487 €/m² for flats and 2.089 €/m² for houses, with a median of about 222.600 € for a flat and about 533.600 € for a house. Over the past year, flats have risen by around 5 % and houses by 6 %.
The differences between streets are considerable: according to the same source, some streets are below 2.000 €/m² and others above 3.200 €/m². That is why we don't rely on averages: to value a property, we use real sale prices from the Property Registry and our knowledge of each area.
What we see day to day: right now, everything is selling in Argentona. In actual transactions, the average price of a flat is around 350.000 € and that of a detached house around 650.000 €, higher than the figures shown by the property portals' estimates.
And there is a big difference depending on the area: in terms of price, the centre and the streets close to the town are a world apart from the other neighbourhoods and residential developments.
