Priced at a total of €235,000, this property represents an accessible segment in the Costa del Sol real estate market.

Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The project is situated in the Las Lagunas de Mijas district, part of the municipality of Mijas. This location is characterized by an urban environment with diverse commercial facilities and residential areas. The location provides immediate access to the N-340 road connection, ensuring a link with surrounding coastal towns.
The layout of the penthouse supports a practical living system for small households or couples. The presence of a separate kitchen and two bedrooms offers functionality, while the roof terrace adds an outdoor space to the living experience. The southern orientation ensures exposure to natural light.
This concerns existing construction classified as 'Completed'. The status implies that the home is immediately available for occupancy without waiting periods for construction processes. The technical condition is described as 'Good', indicating a habitable state without immediate renovation obligations.
The property does not feature private parking on the premises; parking takes place on the public road. There is no elevator in the building. The property lacks a swimming pool; residents rely on municipal facilities or private solutions.
This property suits buyers looking for an affordable entry into the Spanish property market without dependence on the tourist season. The layout with two bedrooms provides space for a small family or can function as a vacation home for multiple people. Investors seeking returns through rental will appreciate the location in a residential area with amenities, as well as the free sector rental rates associated with it. The location is also suitable for individuals who value mobility and want access to public transportation and roads to the coast and hinterland.
The finish of the property is described as 'Good' with a 'Partly fitted kitchen'. This indicates a functional but non-luxury finish. Materials and installations are ready for use but may show signs of age, consistent with the building's history. The presence of an entry phone system points to standard safety provisions. Standard finishing materials suitable for the outdoor climate have been used for the terrace.
The asking price of €235,000 places this penthouse in the lower segment of the housing market in this region. For a two-bedroom home on the Costa del Sol, this is a competitive price level, especially compared to new-build projects in direct coastal locations. The pricing reflects the status of existing construction and the urban location. Availability is immediate, which can be an advantage for buyers with short-term planning.
Parts of Mijas Costa and Las Lagunas offer a living environment designed for functional daily use. The presence of various supermarkets, dining options, and medical facilities within walking distance makes the location suitable for permanent residency. The proximity to the coastline (approx. 4.7 km) offers opportunities for recreation, though this requires transportation. The neighborhood is residential in character with a mix of local and international residents, creating a lively but not purely touristy atmosphere. The buildings are predominantly apartments and low-rise structures, creating an urban density.
The immediate surroundings offer a high level of amenities. Within walking distance (239 m) is a supermarket, as well as a pharmacy (265 m). Daily groceries and medical care are thus close by. The area is well connected by public transport; several bus stops are in the immediate vicinity. For beach lovers, the coastline of Fuengirola and Torreblanca offers various options, though transport is required. The location relative to Malaga Airport (14 km) makes the area attractive for frequent travelers or those receiving guests.

Compared to the 'Arosa' project in Mijas (starting from €490,000) and 'Waterfall Residences' in Fuengirola (starting from €720,000), this penthouse offers a significantly lower entry price. While those projects often combine luxury amenities and direct beach access, this object focuses on functionality and affordability in an urban context. It serves as an alternative for buyers who prioritize realistic pricing and centrality over luxury facilities like communal pools or immediate seaside location. 'Astra Homes' in Fuengirola (starting from €364,000) is closer in price, but this object in Mijas Costa distinguishes itself by the absence of new-build premiums, keeping the price per square meter competitive.
