Regional Comparison

This penthouse in Benalmádena is positioned in an urban coastal context, differentiating it from projects like Acqua Gardens in Estepona, which lean towards a residential setting with a focus on natural integration. The price of €308,500 is lower than the starting price of Blossom Hills (€338,900) in the same municipality, but higher than Aby Upper in Estepona (€320,000), although the latter may offer different features. The direct proximity to a wide array of urban amenities and the vibrancy of Benalmádena, with 2,299 property transactions and 78,338 inhabitants, distinguish this property from more secluded locations. Its close distance to Málaga Airport (9.3 km) is a significant advantage compared to locations further west along the coast. The steep slope to the beach (8.4%) is a specific characteristic that may affect direct coastal access, a detail potentially handled differently in the more exclusive projects in Estepona.
