Also many of them, however, have no other choice than to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/advantage-disadvantage-buy-rent\/\"><strong>rent an apartment<\/strong><\/a> outside of Madrid\u2019s centre, because they don\u2019t want to spend their entire salary on rent.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It\u2019s good to know that sometimes, in order to live well, you don\u2019t necessarily have to leave the city centre and move to the region of Madrid. You only need excellent searching skills to find <strong>more affordable neighbourhoods<\/strong> with rental prices that are within your budget.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The following 4 neighbourhoods are <strong>full of shops, residents are friendly, and there\u2019s a great public transport system<\/strong> to connect you to the city centre. Keep the next few areas in mind when you are looking for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/long-term-rental\"><strong>rental apartment<\/strong><\/a>:<\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><strong>Vallecas<\/strong> is a neighbourhood that actually feels like a village, and people that live here work hard. It&#8217;s a bit far from the city centre, but it can be easily reached. Just to give you an idea, rent in this neighborhood is usually between \u20ac500 and \u20ac600, and this is much lower compared to other centrally located neighbourhoods in Madrid.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There\u2019s lots of cultural diversity in Vallecas, and this has enriched the area even more. It is definitely a <strong>multicultural neighbourhood<\/strong>, but it has never lost its true essence, so it\u2019s still a very original place to live.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Related article:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/moving-out-of-your-rental-apartment\/\">Moving Out of Your Rental Apartment<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\" start=\"2\">\n<li>\n<div id=\"attachment_9700\" style=\"width: 209px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Photo-by-OndasDeRuido-via-Visualhunt.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9700\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-9700 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Photo-by-OndasDeRuido-via-Visualhunt-199x300.jpg\" alt=\"street with cars and large building in background in madrid\" width=\"199\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-9700\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Photo by OndasDeRuido via Visualhunt<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Carabanchel<\/strong> is also a cheaper district and one of the busiest residential areas in the city.
