What Chamartín is like
Northern district with a dual character: financial hub around Plaza de Castilla and the Cuatro Torres, and quiet residential neighbourhoods such as El Viso and Nueva España. Good transport (Chamartín-Clara Campoamor, several metro lines) and a broad range of schools and hospitals. Calm atmosphere outside working hours. High prices, though slightly below Salamanca. A good fit for executives, well-off families and professionals working along the northern axis.

Vast and very green district in northern Madrid, with the Monte de El Pardo as a great natural lung. Low-density residential areas — Mirasierra, Montecarmelo, Las Tablas — with detached houses and private developments. Very limited public transport; a car is almost essential. Very scarce nightlife. Moderate prices. Recommended if nature, tranquillity and space take priority over urban immediacy.
