El Soto de la Moraleja is known for its tree-lined streets, established community and proximity to schools, shops and services. This semi-detached house sits within that established neighbourhood character, offering a grounded way of living on the northern edge of Madrid. The ground-floor layout flows naturally between living spaces and the garden. The main areas connect fluidly, with natural light defining the interior sequence. The kitchen sits integrated into the daily rhythm of the home, while the terrace extends the living space outward, creating a relationship between interior and exterior. Three bathrooms are distributed across the property, serving the four bedrooms with practical efficiency.
La moraleja
La Moraleja is technically not Madrid — it sits in the municipality of Alcobendas, about 15 km north of the city via the A-1 motorway — but it functions as the international corporate family's default answer to "where do we live while our kids go to school in English?" The district is a collection of gated residential estates developed from the 1970s onward, with villas on 1,000–5,000 m² plots, private gardens, pools, and the highest concentration of English- and other foreign-language international schools in all of Spain (ICS, Runnymede, King's College, Brewster, Colegio Base, the Lycée Français Saint-Exupéry campus — all within 1 km of each other). It is suburban in the American sense, not the Spanish: you drive everywhere, the streets are leafy, and the social fabric runs through the school gates and the Club de Campo La Moraleja golf clubhouse.
