Regional Comparison

Compared to new developments like Residencial Sunhill (from €328,000), Artemisa (from €369,000), and Pelit Maritimo (from €375,000) in Fuengirola, this renovated existing apartment at €450,000 represents a different segment of the market. While new builds often offer modern designs and communal facilities, this property provides a rare key-ready, renovated unit in a frontline beach position with an established holiday rental license. This license, in a market where new ones are restricted, adds significant value and potential income, distinguishing it from properties that may lack such a commercial advantage. The price reflects the immediate usability, the extensive renovation, and the coveted beachfront status, which new developments, even if priced lower initially, may not directly replicate in terms of immediate rental income potential or direct beach access.
