Valdemarín is its most exclusive area, with detached houses on spacious plots and one of Madrid's highest per-capita incomes. Aravaca's historic centre preserves its village feel (quiet streets, terraces, local shops) within city limits. El Plantío and La Florida complete the low-density residential offering. Average prices are around €5,600/m², with detached houses ranging from €1.5 to €5 million.
The education offering is a major draw: Colegio Internacional Aravaca (IB across all stages, Spain's third-best private school according to MiCole 2026), SEK International Schools (over 130 years, 7,000 students from 80 nationalities) and Escuela Waldorf de Aravaca, among others.
Club de Campo Villa de Madrid, covering 250 hectares, is a landmark institution: 18-hole golf course (since 1932), international-level equestrian facilities (Pista Verde, 10,000 spectators), Olympic pool, tennis, padel, polo and over 2,500 students in sports schools.
Set between Monte de El Pardo and Casa de Campo, with direct access to the A-6 and M-40, Cercanías stations at Aravaca and El Plantío, and light rail, Aravaca offers village living with a 22-minute connection to central Madrid.
