This apartment in Atalaya, Málaga, offers a tranquil inland living experience surrounded by rural serenity. While the location is peaceful, a car is essential for daily commutes due to the considerable distance to amenities such as the airport (60 km). The 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment has been recently renovated and is ready for occupancy. It is part of a secure urbanization with communal facilities, contributing to comfort and living pleasure.
Compared to projects closer to the coast, such as Acqua Gardens or Aby Upper in Estepona (starting from €418,800 and €320,000 respectively), this apartment in Atalaya positions itself in a quieter, more rural setting. The starting price of €465,000 is higher than the mentioned Estepona projects, reflecting the recent renovation, the size (133 m²), and potentially the more exclusive location near golf courses. Alba Benalmadena, on the other hand, starts from €699,000, indicating a higher price bracket, possibly due to direct coastal proximity or other premium features. Atalaya distinguishes itself through its combination of a relatively rural environment at 666 meters altitude with a significant density of sports facilities, particularly golf courses. While coastal projects focus on beach access and maritime ambiance, Atalaya offers a serene lifestyle with sporting and natural elements, albeit with the necessity of a car for daily mobility. The distance to amenities such as a supermarket (11 km) and the airport (60 km) is greater than with many direct coastal projects, requiring a conscious choice from the buyer.
