Project Analysis

Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.

Location

Situated in Riviera del Sol, an urban area, this apartment is within walking distance of the beach and local amenities such as shops and restaurants. The immediate vicinity is characterized by a high concentration of services, contributing to convenience for daily needs. The closeness to the coastline provides direct access to seaside recreational opportunities.

Layout

This apartment is suitable for individuals seeking functional living space with direct access to urban amenities and the coastline. Its location within walking distance of the beach and shops, combined with its proximity to the airport (7.9 km), makes it a practical choice for those who value a combination of convenience and coastal life.

Project Status

The apartment is already built and ready for occupancy, originally completed in 1987. Consequently, its structure and installations date back to that period. This means the property is not in its construction phase, but rather features existing structures and finishes. Any necessary modernizations or renovations should be considered by the new owner.

Points of Attention

The apartment is in need of complete refurbishment. Its location in an urban setting with many amenities means there might be ambient noise. While direct rental opportunities are possible, they are subject to community regulations.

Lifestyle & Surroundings

This apartment suits a buyer looking for a property with potential in an established coastal area. It is suitable for someone willing to personalize their home through renovation and who values proximity to amenities and the beach. The location in Riviera del Sol, with its urban character and good accessibility, is attractive to individuals who do not necessarily want to rely on a car for daily tasks. While urban, the location is supported by hilly terrain (a 6.4% slope towards the beach), which can contribute to views but also requires some physical effort during walks.

Build Quality & Finishing

Built in 1987, the apartment requires a full renovation. Its current finishes and installations are characteristic of that era. This provides the new owner with the freedom to update all aspects of the home according to their taste and current standards. From the kitchen and bathroom to floors, wall finishes, and lighting, everything can be customized. Features such as a covered terrace and fitted wardrobes can be retained or improved during the renovation. The focus is on the potential for modern finishes, with material and technical choices entirely up to the buyer.

Price & Context

Price & Availability

This apartment is offered starting from €295,000. The pricing reflects its location near the beach and urban amenities.

One unit is available with these specifications.

Regional Comparison

Compared to other projects in the region, such as Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000), and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €259,000), this apartment in Riviera del Sol is priced in the higher segment. This can be attributed to its direct proximity to the beach and urban amenities, as well as its specific location within the Mijas municipality, which is popular with international buyers. Projects in Mijas often command higher prices due to their established reputation and quality infrastructure.
