Regional Comparison

Compared to other projects in the region, such as Acqua Gardens (from €418,800) and Aby Upper (from €320,000) in Estepona, this townhouse positions itself in a higher price bracket, partly due to its asking price of €495,000. This can be attributed to factors like its specific location in Atalaya, the size of the property, and the type of amenities. Alba Benalmadena, with a starting price of €699,000, is in an even higher market segment. The location of this project in Atalaya, inland and at 666 meters altitude, distinguishes it from projects directly on the coast like many developments in Estepona or Benalmadena. This offers a quieter, more rural character but also entails greater distances to beaches and the immediate coastal promenade. The proximity to specific golf courses such as El Campanario (1.4 km) and El Paraíso (2.1 km) is a significant selling point for sports enthusiasts. The availability of 3,856 hours of sunshine and a 5-month swimming season is comparable to the broader Costa del Sol, but the higher elevation may result in a slightly different microclimate.
