Project Analysis

Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.

Location

The property is located in Fuengirola, within the Higuerón West urbanisation, positioned between the A-7 motorway and the coastal road. The site lies approximately 600 metres from the shoreline, integrating residential functions with direct access to the Mediterranean Sea and the broader municipal transport network.

Layout

The accommodation comprises three bedrooms and two bathrooms across 100 m², structured to support permanent residence or extended habitation. The inclusion of a private garden and heated swimming pool addresses requirements for outdoor leisure spaces, while the proximity to amenities facilitates daily living without reliance on vehicular transport.

Project Status

The construction phase is fully concluded, with completion achieved in 2022. As a resale property within a recent development, the unit is available for immediate occupation, eliminating the risks and delays associated with off-plan purchases or ongoing construction works.

Points of Attention

Regional Comparison

Compared to adjacent developments such as 7 Olas and Core Higueron 2, this property commands a higher price point (€975,000 versus entry-levels around €700,000). This premium is attributed to the inclusion of a private heated pool and garden, features often absent in standard apartments. Unlike new builds that require completion waiting times, this unit is immediately available. Furthermore, the existing tourist rental licence eliminates a common administrative hurdle found in other properties in Fuengirola. While projects in Marbella may offer higher exclusivity, they often lack the direct urban connectivity found in this location.
