The district holds numerous projects from the Barrios en Remodelación programme, which ended in 1989, and several colonies of municipal housing.

Seven neighbourhoods and St John's festivals

Its neighbourhoods are Orcasitas, Orcasur, San Fermín, Almendrales, Moscardó, Zofío and Pradolongo, over 777.77 hectares. Its festivals are held in June, on the weekend closest to St John's day.

What it means for buyers and sellers

• In July 2026 it is the 19th most expensive of Madrid's 21 districts by median closing price.
• The district's neighbourhoods differ from one another: compare homes in the same neighbourhood and of the same type, not the district average.

In July 2026, the median price of completed sales in the Usera district was €3,509/m². Since January (€3,095/m²), the figure rose in 3 months and fell in 3 of the 6 that can be compared: the path is uneven.

Among the 2026 figures published, the highest is May (€3,510/m²) and the lowest, March (€2,869/m²).

The report publishes a year-on-year change of +25.7% and a year-to-date change of +13.4%, with €2,792/m² in July 2025 as the prior-year starting point. They compare medians of different transactions in each period, not the change in value of the same home.

For reference, the July figure is below the one published for the municipality of Madrid (€4,757/m²) and for the province as a whole (€3,618/m²). These are medians for each area, not averages of the areas they contain.

This guide describes the figure for the area, not an individual home: valuing a property requires comparing similar homes. The report does not say how many transactions underlie each territorial median.
