Regional Comparison

Compared to other projects in the region, such as Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €259,000), this apartment in Benalmádena offers a significantly lower entry price starting at €219,000 for a one-bedroom unit. Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) is comparable in price, but this specific Benalmádena apartment stands out due to its direct coastal location and urban amenities within walking distance. Properties in Estepona and Torre del Mar are generally positioned in a higher price bracket, possibly due to larger living areas, more bedrooms, or more luxurious finishes.
