Santa Barbara Urbanization
Santa Bárbara is one of the most prestigious urbanizations in Valencia.
It is in the municipality of Rocafort, belonging to the region of L’Horta Nord, just 10 minutes by car from Valencia city, and is well known for its privileged location and high quality of life.
Rocafort has just over 7,000 inhabitants, a size that provides the nearby urbanizations with all public services, including administrations, pharmacies, or public transport, both by bus and metro.
In addition, very close to this residential area there is a wide range of shopping centers and leisure spaces, as well as prestigious international schools. All this makes many families with a high purchasing power consider renting or buying a house in Santa Bárbara.
History of Santa Barbara
The name “Rocafort” has a geographical origin: it comes from the original settlement of this town, on a small rock above the surrounding orchards.
In fact, one of the great attractions of the residential areas in Rocafort is precisely their natural environment: living in a chalet in Rocafort is synonymous with living near a big city, but with the advantages of the countryside (fresh air, tranquility, less traffic, etc).
In the case of Santa Bárbara, its origin is related to a hermitage that was in the area, and that is currently within the urbanization.
Since the 1960s, the wealthiest families and the businessmen of the incipient Valencian bourgeoisie began to build large chalets and independent houses in this large green area, forming a luxury but very discreet urbanization.
Currently, the profile of the owners of Santa Bárbara has changed, although the urbanization continues to maintain its spirit and exclusivity.
