Compared to projects like Acqua Gardens in Estepona (from €418,800) and Aby Upper in Estepona (from €320,000), this villa in Alhaurín de la Torre is positioned in a higher price bracket, starting at €695,000. The Estepona projects, with lower starting prices, appear to target a different segment, possibly focusing on new-build apartments or smaller homes closer to the coast. Alba Benalmádena (from €699,000) is closest in price, suggesting a similar market segment. However, the villa in Alhaurín de la Torre distinguishes itself with its large plot (1382 m²) and its inland location, away from the immediate coastline but with quick access to amenities and the airport. This offers a different living environment than the coastal towns of Estepona or Benalmádena, with more emphasis on space, potential for varied residential functions, and urban integration rather than a purely coastal lifestyle.
