Valencia by the Season: A Practical Guide to Living in the City for 1 to 11 Months

Valencia is a city that invites you to stay. More and more people are arriving for work, studies, professional projects, or simply to experience a different phase of life… and they decide to stay for several months.

If you are thinking of living in Valencia for between 1 and 11 months , this guide will help you make informed decisions without surprises.

Why choose Valencia for a temporary stay?

Valencia combines the best of a big city with a friendly pace of life:

• Good weather all year round
  
  

• Excellent public transport connections
  
  

• More balanced cost of living than other major cities
  
  

• Constant cultural, gastronomic and sporting offerings
  
  

• Proximity to the sea and large green areas

That's why it's a common option for relocated professionals, digital nomads, master's students, healthcare staff, or people in housing transition.

What type of stay do you need?

Before choosing an apartment, it's important to be clear about the actual length of your stay :

• 1–3 months: professional projects, training, job tests
  
  

• 3–6 months: temporary relocations, teleworking, renovations to main residence
  
  

• 6–11 months: life changes, new beginnings, gradual settling into the city
  
  

This point is key to choosing the type of contract, the area and the level of equipment needed.

The best areas to live seasonally in Valencia

Checklist before moving to Valencia for months

Before finalizing your booking, make sure you have these points clear:

• Minimum and maximum contract duration
  
  

• Expenses included (electricity, water, WiFi)
  
  

• Complete equipment
  
  

• Quality of rest (mattress, blinds, insulation)
  
  

• Space to work if you need it

A "nice" apartment is not always a comfortable apartment to live in .

What should a move-in ready apartment have?

For a stay of several months, the basics aren't enough. A good apartment should offer:

• Fully equipped kitchen
  
  

• Efficient air conditioning
  
  

• Stable WiFi
  
  

• Functional and comfortable furniture
  
  

• Spaces designed for everyday life, not just for sleeping
  
  

The difference between “staying” and “living” is in the details.
