This recently renovated two-bedroom apartment in Las Lagunas, Mijas, presents a practical living solution within a well-connected urban setting. Offering 70.10 m² of internal space, complemented by a 12.94 m² patio and an 8.10 m² terrace, it provides functional outdoor areas. Situated at ground floor level with accessible entry, the property is ready for immediate occupation, appealing to those seeking a straightforward move into the Costa del Sol lifestyle.
Compared to projects directly on the coast, such as Acqua Gardens (€418,800) or Alba Benalmadena (€598,000) in Estepona and Benalmadena respectively, this apartment in Las Lagunas offers a more accessible entry price point, starting at €284,900. While coastal developments often emphasise sea views and direct beach access, properties in Las Lagunas provide urban convenience and a stronger connection to local Spanish life. For instance, Aby Upper in Estepona, priced from €320,000, is likely to offer different amenities and a more resort-oriented environment. This Las Lagunas apartment's appeal lies in its practicality, immediate availability, and location within a functional service centre, distinguishing it from properties focused solely on leisure or luxury tourism. It represents a more grounded option for those prioritising everyday living over a typical holiday resort experience.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment is situated in Las Lagunas, an area within Mijas, Málaga, characterised by its urban density and proximity to essential services. Its location offers convenient access to local amenities, positioning residents within easy reach of daily necessities and leisure facilities, while being a moderate distance from the coastline.
Designed for practical living, this two-bedroom apartment caters to those seeking a functional home. With a fully fitted kitchen, a separate patio for outdoor enjoyment, and a terrace, it offers space for everyday activities. The recently renovated condition and ready-to-move-in status address the desire for immediate comfort and minimal disruption.
This property is a completed development, meaning it is ready for immediate occupancy. As an existing structure that has undergone recent renovation, it does not follow a new build construction timeline. This status provides certainty for buyers regarding availability and avoids the uncertainties often associated with off-plan purchases.
This apartment does not offer panoramic sea views, nor is it situated directly on the beachfront. The property's orientation means the terrace receives morning sun until lunchtime. It is sold unfurnished, requiring buyers to furnish the space themselves. While it includes underground parking, it is not a detached villa or a penthouse.
This property is suitable for individuals or couples seeking a practical and accessible base on the Costa del Sol, particularly those who value urban convenience. It is an appropriate choice for first-time buyers in the Spanish market, or for those looking for a property that requires minimal immediate renovation work due to its recently completed status. The layout, featuring a separate patio and terrace, could appeal to those who enjoy outdoor living but prefer not to manage a large garden. Its proximity to amenities, schools, and transport links makes it a sensible option for a year-round residence rather than solely a holiday home. Furthermore, buyers prioritising a location with a strong local community feel, away from the main tourist hubs but still connected, will find this apartment's setting aligns with their needs.
The apartment showcases a recently renovated finish, designed for practical, modern living. Ceramic tiles cover all floors, offering durability and ease of maintenance. Windows are fitted with double glazing, contributing to thermal and acoustic insulation, and many are equipped with mosquito screens for added comfort during warmer months. The kitchen is fully equipped, featuring an oven, hob, and extractor fan, ready for immediate use. The bathroom includes a large walk-in shower and modern fixtures. Built-in wardrobes in the bedrooms provide integrated storage solutions. The building's entrance has been updated with a modern glass design, enhancing the overall presentation of the communal areas.
The apartment is offered at a starting price of €284,900. This pricing reflects a two-bedroom unit of 70.10 m² living space, including additional outdoor areas. Availability is immediate, as the property is completed and ready for occupation. The price point positions this apartment within the mid-range for properties of its size and location in the area, offering a tangible entry into the Costa del Sol market without the premium associated with beachfront or new-build developments. Variation in pricing would typically apply to different unit types or specific features should they exist within a larger complex.
