Compared to surrounding projects in Los Montesinos, such as RESIDENCIAL LAGUNA AZUL (from €485,000) and VINCI LA HERRADA (from €369,000), ESSENCE I positions itself in the higher price segment. This could be attributed to the specific features of the homes, such as the larger plot sizes and extensive outdoor amenities like a private pool and solarium, contributing to a higher starting price. When compared to OCEANIC APARTMENTS in nearby Rojales (from €475,000), ESSENCE I offers a similar type of new development but with an emphasis on individual plots and private space, which may appeal to a different target audience. The pricing of ESSENCE I reflects its focus on comfort, privacy, and modern finishes within an urban yet tranquil residential setting, justifying a premium over simpler apartment complexes or smaller properties in the area.
