Compared to other projects on the Costa del Sol, such as Acqua Gardens in Estepona (starting from €418,800) or Aby Upper in Estepona (starting from €320,000), this villa in Alhaurín de la Torre offers a larger living area and plot for a higher entry price (€530,000). Projects like Alba Benalmadena (starting from €699,000) are in a higher price bracket. Alhaurín de la Torre's location, slightly more inland than direct coastal towns like Estepona, provides a different living experience. It combines proximity to the larger city of Málaga and its airport with a quieter, residential character, while the coastline remains within reach (approx. 7 km). The pricing, combined with the potential for further personalization of the ground floor, positions this project as an alternative for buyers seeking more space and development potential outside the immediate coastal strip, and who are willing to accept a car as their primary mode of transport.
