Rental prices in Seville in 2015.
A four-bedroom penthouse in the San Vicente neighborhood for 800 €, almost 100m2 in the heart of Arenal for 900 € or 600 for an apartment in Arroyo street.
Taking into account the ad that titles this article – €690 for a 95m2 apartment in the San Julián neighborhood-, an estimate of the price per square meter 10 years ago could be around 7 euros/m2. Taking a look at the latest Idealista report regarding rental prices in Seville, the square meter in May 2025 stands at €12.5, almost double that of 2015.
