Regional Comparison

Compared to new developments like Acqua Gardens in Estepona (from €524,600) or Aby Upper in Estepona (from €320,000), this penthouse at €725,000 represents a more established, premium offering in a specific waterfront location. While newer projects might offer contemporary designs and amenities, this property provides immediate availability and a fixed price in a sought-after marina setting. Alba Benalmadena, another comparable property with a starting price of €648,000, also offers a coastal lifestyle, but La Duquesa's specific port-centric appeal and the penthouse's layout with extensive terraces differentiate it.
