  • Central location in an urban setting with amenities within walking distance and a tourist license.

Regional Comparison

Compared to the coastal areas of the Costa del Sol, such as Estepona where projects like Acqua Gardens (from €418,800) and Aby Upper (from €320,000) are offered, this townhouse in Alora is priced at €375,000, positioning it in a mid-range segment for a spacious property. Projects in more exclusive areas, like Alba Benalmadena (from €699,000), are at a significantly higher price point. The Alora townhouse's location, inland within a historic village, offers a different lifestyle than coastal resorts. It provides the authenticity of a 'pueblo blanco' with amenities within walking distance, while still being accessible to the coast and Málaga Airport (approx. 25-27 km as the crow flies). This contrasts with the direct beach or golf-focused offerings of many coastal projects. The price per square meter of living space is potentially more favorable here than on the immediate coastline, given the property's size and plot.
