Regional Comparison

Compared to projects like Aquamar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial (from €205,000), and Etherna Homes 2 (from €259,000), which focus more on new construction in coastal areas like Torre del Mar and Estepona, this villa in El Chaparral occupies a different market segment. The aforementioned comparable projects are significantly lower priced and typically represent apartments or smaller homes in new complexes. The villa in El Chaparral, priced at €1,200,000, is an existing, larger detached property with more private space (plot, pool) and a different location type (more urban, inland). The price reflects its size, finishes, existing facilities, and specific location within a more established urban setting near Málaga, shifting the focus from development to the value of a completed, spacious residence.
