This apartment in La Mairena, priced from €798,000, stands out for its hilltop location with panoramic sea views and recent renovations. Compared to projects like Aquamar in Torre del Mar (€269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (€205,000), and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (€259,000), this apartment commands a higher price point. Those projects typically offer apartments closer to the coastline, in more built-up areas, and with lower starting prices, catering to a broader audience. The exclusivity of La Mairena's location, its elevation offering views, and the extensive renovation justify the higher pricing. The availability of only one unit suggests a specific niche market for buyers prioritizing tranquility, views, and a higher standard of finish over immediate beach access or the lower entry prices of coastal developments.
