Why invest in property in Roses?
Roses combines a spectacular bay, a port, beaches, nature nearby and quality of life on the Costa Brava.
Seaside quality of life
Living in Roses means enjoying a generous coastal setting of beaches, green spaces and promenades. The town offers a varied choice of homes, from contemporary flats with sea views to traditional houses with gardens, suited to families and to those looking for peace and quiet. Life is lived outdoors: local markets, restaurants and outdoor activities make daily life pleasant. Professional support makes it easier to find a property that matches your needs and your plans for life in Roses.
Easy access and a prime location
Roses is well placed for getting around the Costa Brava and beyond. Nearby main roads, regional train stations and an airport make it easy to travel inland and abroad, which helps with regular trips and property viewings. For a buyer, this means easy access to services and to travel, including by road to the rest of Europe. Our local advice helps you choose the neighbourhood and property type that suit how you get around.
Leisure, culture and an attractive cost of living
Roses offers a wide choice of leisure and cultural activities: water sports, hiking, local events, festivals and historic sites. The port and leisure facilities make it even more attractive for families and sailing enthusiasts. The cost of living in Catalonia is generally lower than in some neighbouring countries, which makes daily life more affordable without sacrificing the quality of services. Tailored support helps you assess local life and complete your purchase with peace of mind.
Living in Roses
Roses stretches along the north of the gulf that bears its name, between the Citadel, a former fortress, and the Cap de Creus nature park. Its fishing and leisure port brings life to the seafront.
From Santa Margarida and its canals to the coves of Canyelles and L'Almadrava, the municipality offers a range of settings to live in, an hour from the French border.

Property prices in Roses: where to buy
Canyelles / Canyelles Petites
Canyelles (Canyelles Petites) is a quieter area, popular for its coves, unspoilt beaches and holiday homes. A relaxed family atmosphere, ideal for walks and water sports, with campsites and local services. Good for buyers looking for peace without moving far from the centre of Roses; easy road access and easier parking than in the town centre.
The Port (Puerto de Roses)
The Port (Puerto de Roses) combines a busy marina, fish restaurants and tourist services. An ideal area for sailing enthusiasts and summer nightlife, with easy access to ferries and promenades. Buildings often have harbour views; a good choice for buyers looking for a lively pied-à-terre close to the historic centre, with year-round amenities and road links to Figueres and France.
Santa Margarida
Santa Margarida is the most sought-after seaside area of Roses, centred on its beach and promenade. Lively in season, with many restaurants and shops and direct access to the sea. Suits buyers looking for a summer pied-à-terre or a practical main home, with bus links to the centre and health services nearby. Well suited to beach-loving families and holiday-let investors.

Frequently asked questions about property in Roses
Can a foreigner buy property in Roses?
+
Yes. Spain places no nationality restrictions on buying property. You do, however, need an NIE, the foreigner identification number, which is required to sign at the notary's and to open a Spanish bank account. We handle this step as part of our support.
What costs should you budget for on top of the property price?
+
As a rule, allow 10 to 15% of the asking price. This covers transfer tax (ITP) for a resale property or VAT for a new build, notary fees, land registry registration and administrative costs. Our online buying costs calculator gives a detailed estimate by region and type of property.
Do you need to be there in person to buy in Roses?
+
No. Many of our clients buy from abroad. Viewings can be done by video call with a written report, and signing at the notary's is possible with a power of attorney. On site, we check what photos do not show: the real condition, the immediate surroundings, any nuisances, compliance.
What checks do you carry out before an offer?
+
We check the property's legal status at the land registry, that there are no debts or unpaid charges, planning compliance, the state of the community of owners and whether the price is consistent with recent sales in the area. These checks take place before any offer, not after.
How long does it take to buy property in Roses?
+
From the first viewing to signing, it generally takes two to four months. The timing depends mainly on getting the NIE, any financing and the notary's availability. A cash purchase with a complete file can go faster.
