Where to Live If You're Studying at Nebrija University in Madrid

If you're studying at Nebrija University's Madrid-Princesa Campus, you have a major advantage: you're in one of the best-connected university areas in downtown Madrid.

Argüelles, Plaza de España, Moncloa, and some areas of Chamberí are the most practical options if you want to live near the campus without giving up the city center.

Where is the Madrid-Princesa Campus?

The campus is located on Santa Cruz de Marcenado Street, in the Argüelles neighborhood. So when you're looking for a place to live, it makes sense to start with Argüelles, Plaza de España, Moncloa, and Chamberí.

Argüelles and Plaza de España

For a student, this area offers a combination that’s hard to find in Madrid: a university, public transportation, a central location, and a college atmosphere. In addition to Nebrija, there are other universities and institutions nearby, such as ICAI and ICADE, and it’s very easy to get around the rest of Madrid by metro.

Dorm or apartment?

Madrid has a wide variety of shared apartments, university dorms, and student housing options. Student housing might be especially appealing during your first year or if you’re moving from another city, since it typically includes utilities, common areas, and a community of students right from day one.

A shared apartment can give you more independence, although you’ll have to handle leases, utilities, cleaning, and living arrangements on your own. If you want to compare more options, check out our guide to the best university housing options in Madrid.

StepHouse Plaza de España

StepHouse Plaza de España is located in this same area of downtown Madrid. That’s why it can be a good option for Nebrija students who want to live near the Madrid-Princesa Campus while still being close to downtown Madrid.

To avoid outdated prices, always check the current rates and property types at StepHouse Plaza de España.

What about the Nebrija-Corazonistas?

Nebrija-Corazonistas is located on Tutor Street, also in Argüelles, and is another option that is especially close to campus. The difference between these two residence halls isn't just a matter of distance.

What to Compare	Why It Matters
Distance to your college	You'll be doing it almost every day.
Room type	Double, single, studio…
Meals	Included, optional, or without meals.
Common areas	Gym, study rooms, recreation…
Services	Housekeeping, laundry, front desk…
Total price	Not just the advertised price.
Atmosphere	You're going to live there, too.

If you're a student at ICAI or ICADE

The Alberto Aguilera campus of Comillas Pontifical University is also located in this area. Therefore, Argüelles and Plaza de España are equally convenient areas for ICAI and ICADE students.

What about CUNEF?

The CUNEF campus is located in Ciudad Universitaria. Plaza de España is still well connected, but it’s not as close as Nebrija or Comillas. If your university is in another part of Madrid, check out all StepHouse residences to find the one closest to you.
