Rent in Majadahonda: an expensive market, measured
It is 18,3 % above the reference of five years earlier. 4.231 declared leases sit behind it: enough to inform, small enough that one street can sit outside the range. A reference of 13,21 €/m² puts Majadahonda among the dearest places to rent in Spain, where short-term letting quietly removes the best stock from the long-term pool.
Rents declared on income-tax returns for main-residence leases, not asking prices. They lag the market and exclude holiday lets.
A sense of scale
Take Madrid alone: among the municipalities here, its median declared monthly rent is the third highest.
Set the national range end to end and this lower-quartile rent per square metre lands in the dearest twentieth of them all.
Set against the other Madrid municipalities in this guide, it has the fourth highest reference rent per square metre.
Country-wide, that upper-quartile rent per square metre is one of the dearest twentieth of them all.
How it ranks
Of the Madrid municipalities covered here, this one comes fourteenth highest on number of declared leases.
Measured against the whole batch, that share of dwellings that are not a main residence sits in the cheapest twentieth of them.
Judged only against Madrid, the population here is the seventeenth highest in the guide.
Put beside the rest of the country, its median floor area of a let flat belongs to the seventeenth twentieth from the bottom.
The comparison that matters
Ranked against its neighbours in Madrid, it holds the third highest share of main homes that are rented of the group.
Across the country, the five-year change in the reference rent here belongs to the fourth-cheapest twentieth.

The floor areas are round illustrative sizes used to show the arithmetic, not measurements of any particular flat.
The reference figures, and how narrow the range is
11,07 €/m² to 15,80 €/m² is the middle half; asking prices in a market this tight routinely sit above the whole band.
11,07 €/m² to 15,80 €/m² is a narrow spread, so the address matters less here than the size.
| Measure | Value |
|---|---|
| Lower quartile | 11,07 €/m² |
| Median | 13,21 €/m² |
| Upper quartile | 15,80 €/m² |
| Median monthly rent | 1.127,50 € |
| Median floor area | 94 m² |
A sizeable rental sector
21,73 % of Majadahonda main homes are rented, more than the national pattern.
Only 6,84 % of Majadahonda dwellings are not a main home, so almost nothing is competing with long leases.
