Regional Comparison

Compared to Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950) and Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000), this apartment in El Chaparral is positioned in a higher price bracket, with a starting price of €467,500. This price difference can be attributed to its location closer to Málaga city, the presence of a spacious private garden (145 m²) in addition to the living area, and the overall urban context offering advantages in terms of direct amenities and accessibility. Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona, also an apartment complex, starts at €269,000, suggesting El Chaparral holds a more premium positioning, possibly due to the specific characteristics of the unit or its direct urban connectivity. The lower prices of the other projects might indicate locations further from major city centers or smaller residential units. However, the apartment described here offers a significantly larger private outdoor space (garden) than typically found in many apartment developments, which could justify a higher value.
