What Arganzuela is like
District alongside the Manzanares, reinvented by Madrid Río and Matadero Madrid as a leading cultural hub. Well connected by metro and Cercanías from Atocha, with riverside promenades and a mixed young-family atmosphere. Prices have risen sharply and the district's own nightlife offer is limited. A solid option for those seeking proximity to the centre with more calm and linear green spaces at a price slightly below prime districts.

Diverse and multicultural southern district, with Madrid's «Chinatown» around calle San Nicolás and a powerful offering of Asian and Latin American gastronomy. Decent metro connections and Madrid Río nearby from Legazpi. Rent below the centre, but rising. Low safety perception in certain areas. Interesting for those seeking varied international gastronomy and moderate prices.
