This apartment is situated in La Merced, a historic neighborhood in the center of Málaga. The property is located on the first floor of a traditional building without an elevator. With a living area of 57 m², it accommodates three bedrooms and one bathroom. The location is distinctly urban, placing all amenities of the inner city within walking distance.
Compared to projects on the outskirts of Málaga or in coastal towns like Fuengirola and Mijas, the price per square meter in Málaga's center is generally higher due to scarcity and location value. Comparable homes in La Merced or the historic center offer a different living experience than the larger, often luxury complexes on the coast (like Arosa or Waterfall Residences), which usually feature community pools and elevators. This apartment offers the charm of urban living without the monthly costs of shared facilities. For buyers sensitive to price, this can be an interesting alternative to new construction projects in surrounding neighborhoods, where prices often start above €350,000 for larger areas, but are further from the center.
