Compared to projects like Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €219,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000), and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €259,000), this studio in Benalmadena Costa, priced at €172,400, positions itself at the lower end of the market. The studios in Torre del Mar and Mijas are similarly priced or higher, while the properties in Estepona have a significantly higher entry price. The location of this studio, directly on the coast in an urban setting with all amenities within walking distance, offers a different dynamic compared to more residential or self-contained projects elsewhere. Whereas projects like Lantana Residencial may focus more on family homes or apartments with more rooms, this studio provides a compact, ready-to-move-in option specifically for coastal dwellers or investors who primarily value location and direct access to the beach and city conveniences. The emphasis on a tourist license suggests a specific investment strategy not as explicitly mentioned in all comparable projects.
