This project presents a studio apartment located in Benalmádena, a popular coastal town on the Costa del Sol. With a living area of 30 m² and one bathroom, this property offers a compact living space. The building, completed in 1975, is situated in an urban environment with amenities within walking distance. The studio is priced from €194,000 and is aimed at buyers seeking a ready-to-move-in property or an investment opportunity in a vibrant coastal region, with Málaga Airport nearby.
Compared to surrounding projects like Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950) and Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000), this project is positioned with a lower entry price, primarily due to its unit type (studio) and specific location within Benalmádena. Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona, starting at €259,000, is in a different price bracket and likely in a different type of location, possibly focusing more on new construction or luxury. The €194,000 price for a studio on the coast in Benalmádena is competitive, especially given the direct proximity to amenities and the beach. However, this is an existing building from 1975, which differentiates it from potentially newer projects. The direct coastal setting and urban environment are characteristic of Benalmádena, which is an established tourist and residential destination, while Torre del Mar and Estepona cater to their own specific market segments. The location between the larger cities of Málaga and Fuengirola offers a balance between tranquility and urban dynamism.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The studio is situated in Benalmádena, directly on the coastline and within an urban area. This means essential amenities such as shops, restaurants, and public transport are within walking or cycling distance. The proximity to the beach, with the closest at 229 meters, contributes to this location's appeal for coastal living enthusiasts.
This studio is suitable for buyers seeking an efficient living space, optimized for a single person or as a holiday retreat. The layout includes an open-plan kitchen, a bathroom, and a bright living area. Its southeast orientation ensures ample natural light and sea views, enhancing the sense of space and comfort. It's a practical choice for those desiring a low-maintenance home.
The studio is part of an existing building completed in 1975. The unit itself is ready for occupancy, meaning there are no waiting periods for completion. This project does not represent a new construction development but offers a ready-to-move-in option in an established area. The focus is on the existing structure and its potential.
The property is a studio, which means there is no separate bedroom. The available living space is 30 m², which may be limited for households requiring more room. The building dates back to 1975, potentially indicating the absence of certain modern architectural standards or finishes. The slope to the beach is significant at 8.4%, which could make direct access challenging.
This type of studio suits various profiles. For investors, it offers a property with an attractive price point in a tourist area with high rental demand, partly due to its proximity to the airport and beaches. For individuals or couples seeking a second home, it provides a low-maintenance base on the Mediterranean, with sun, sea, and sand always within reach. The urban location with amenities within walking distance also appeals to those who prefer mobility without a car. Its simple layout and compact size make it a practical choice for those who do not require a large home but wish to enjoy the Costa del Sol lifestyle. Given the building's age (1975), it is also an option for those who value an established environment over new construction. The proximity to sports facilities and recreational activities appeals to active individuals.
The studio features a fully fitted kitchen, offering practical advantages for daily use and rentals. The property is described as being in good condition, implying that the finishes are functional and appropriate for its construction year. While specific materials are not detailed, the mention of a 'fully fitted kitchen' suggests a certain degree of readiness. Windows offering sea views and a balcony with seating enhance the living comfort. The presence of a lift in the building improves accessibility. The secure, gated community contributes to safety. The overall finishing focuses on functionality and maximizing the compact space, with a southeast orientation to bring in natural light.
The studio is priced from €194,000. Considering the property type (studio) and its location on the Costa del Sol, this price positions it within the entry-level segment for real estate in the region. The 30 m² of living space is typical for studios in urban and coastal areas, often targeting singles, couples, or as holiday rental investments. The pricing reflects the location and the property's ready-to-move-in condition, emphasizing proximity to amenities and the beach. Potential buyers might expect price variations based on specific features like views or exact placement within the complex, although this project provides a single price indication.
Benalmádena is a dynamic coastal town offering a blend of urban amenities and beach life. The studio is located in an urban center, resulting in a lively environment with numerous restaurants, shops, and recreational opportunities within walking distance. The proximity to several beaches, including Playa Malapesquera at 229 meters, invites an active seaside lifestyle. Public transport is well-represented with 9 lines and 15 stops nearby, facilitating mobility without a car. Its location 9.3 kilometers from Málaga Airport ensures excellent accessibility for international travelers. The area also attracts tourists, with 24 hotels and over 11,000 beds, indicating a consistent demand for accommodation and a vibrant atmosphere, even outside the summer months. The average annual temperature of 18.5°C and a swimming season of 4 months contribute to the attractive climate for residential living and recreation.
