This 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment, located in the Europark complex in Benalmádena Costa, offers a blend of urban convenience and coastal proximity. Situated in the sought-after Gamonal area, it is known for its popularity among international buyers. The property is practical, offering potential for both permanent residence and investment, partly due to its suitability for obtaining a tourist rental license in an area with consistent demand.
Compared to the listed comparable projects such as Acqua Gardens and Aby Upper in Estepona, priced from €418,800 and €320,000 respectively, this Benalmádena apartment offers a more accessible entry price of €282,000. While it represents a different type of property (existing, renovated apartment versus potentially new construction in Estepona), this price point is notably lower. Alba Benalmadena, in the same locality of Benalmádena, starts at €699,000, making this project considerably more attractive from a price perspective for those specifically wishing to reside in Benalmádena. Its urban setting with direct coastal access and proximity to amenities differentiates it from projects potentially focused on quieter, more exclusive locations like certain parts of Estepona. Consequently, the price per square meter is likely more competitive, with the added value of being in an established and vibrant area.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment is located in an urban setting, directly on the coast, with most daily amenities within walking or cycling distance. Its close proximity to various beaches, such as Playa de Santa Ana (250 m), enhances its appeal for those seeking a coastal lifestyle.
This property suits individuals seeking a functional living space in a vibrant area. The possibility of obtaining a rental license makes it an attractive option for investors or for owners wishing to rent out their property when not in personal use.
This refers to an existing, renovated apartment. It is situated within an established complex (Europark) that is part of an existing urban structure, rather than a new construction development.
While close to amenities, the development type is an existing apartment complex, not new construction. The slope to the nearest beach is 8.0%, indicating a steeper walk. The project does not offer exclusive on-site golf course facilities.
This apartment is worth considering for individuals or couples who prefer an active lifestyle and a home close to urban amenities and the beach. It is a practical choice for those looking for a base to explore the Costa del Sol, with all essential facilities within reach. It is also an option for investors seeking a property with potential for tourist rentals, given its location in an area with strong demand. It is less suitable for those seeking absolute tranquility or a secluded living environment, owing to the urban nature of the location and its proximity to amenities.
The apartment has been renovated, implying that finishes and installations have been recently updated. While specific material details are not provided, 'renovated' suggests an improvement over the original condition. The modern bathroom with a shower and the updated kitchen, as suggested by the imagery, contribute to contemporary comfort. The focus is on functionality and a modern appearance, fitting within the context of an apartment in an urban complex.
The apartments offered start from €282,000. With 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom, and a living area of 70 m², this offering positions itself in the mid-range segment for apartments in this region. Given its location in a popular urban coastal zone and its rental potential, the pricing can be considered competitive compared to other options in the immediate vicinity, such as Alba Benalmadena, which is priced significantly higher.
