The 16 towns in Madrid with the best price for their distance to Sol
Minutes by public transport, door to door, leaving 7:00–8:50am on a weekday. This page tells you which towns in Madrid have no other town that is both closer to the Puerta del Sol and cheaper.
Since 17/10/2026 the minutes are by public transport; before, by car with no traffic.
Of 114 towns with a price and minutes, 16 are on the frontier: no other town wins on both figures at once. The closest to the Puerta del Sol is Getafe (32 min by public transport; buying at €2,958/m²) and the cheapest is Villaconejos (119 min; buying at €793/m²). Getafe is the closest, but also the most expensive of the 16.
€/m² = purchase price per square metre of resale housing. Data read on 3 Nov 2026

How it is calculated
All 178 towns of Madrid with a page take part, except Madrid city, the destination. Two figures for each. Town A beats town B if it has the same or fewer minutes and the same or lower €/m², and is better on at least one. The frontier is every town nobody beats.
Purchase price: Datos procedentes del Portal Estadístico del Notariado (https://penotariado.com/inmobiliario/), titularidad del Consejo General del Notariado y gestionado por el Centro Tecnológico del Notariado. It is the €/m² of resale homes sold, latest 12 months available, published on 2026-10-21. Read on 3 Nov 2026.
Minutes: minutes by public transport, door to door: from the OpenStreetMap administrative centre, walking to a stop within 800 m (1.5 km if there is none), departures every 10 minutes from 7:00 to 8:50 on a working Tuesday, median total time with waits and changes to a stop within 500 m of Sol. Timetables: Consorcio Regional de Transportes de Madrid and Renfe Cercanías (GTFS); the Metro with its 26 May 2026 timetable, the latest the Consorcio publishes; journey time calculated by Verithic, read on 3 Nov 2026. It is the figure on each town's page. The page and the map still show the car with no traffic to Sol and Nuevos Ministerios, as a separate figure.
Minimum to take part: 20 sales with a price in the period. With fewer, the Notaries give no figure and a handful of sales would move the average. This month 47 of 178 are left out with no price figure from a large enough sample.
No public transport minutes, no place. With a price but no public transport minutes, 17 are left out: El Boalo (The Consorcio publishes bus lines 720 to 728 (Colmenar Viejo and the sierra) without timetables. Without them the time would be inflated: we do not give it); Bustarviejo (The Consorcio publishes bus lines 720 to 728 (Colmenar Viejo and the sierra) without timetables.
