Regional Comparison

Compared to projects like Luminal Homes (from €282,450), Edificio Lúxor (from €285,000), and Urban City Horizon (from €250,000), this studio in Fuengirola offers a significantly lower entry price starting at €229,000. This relatively lower price reflects the nature of the property as a studio in an older building (1973) compared to potentially newer or larger apartments in other developments. However, it shares the central location near the sea and amenities with its competitors. The specific layout with a separate bedroom within a studio format is a distinguishing feature. The presence of a tourist license is a direct advantage for investors, a factor not always explicitly stated by competitors. The urban setting and proximity to infrastructure like the train station (0.5 km) and the 33 bus stops are common to many Fuengirola locations, but the exact distance to the beach (less than 700m) and the pricing make this specific offering distinctive within its segment.
