This penthouse, located in the Montemar district on the Costa del Sol, combines a living area of 414 m² with a direct location near the city center of Málaga and the coast. The residence features four bedrooms and multiple terraces. The project is characterized by the presence of a private elevator, providing access to the various levels of this penthouse. With permanent occupancy and the presence of a concierge, this project offers a fixed residential environment in an urban setting.
Compared to projects in Mijas (Arosa) and Fuengirola (Waterfall Residences), Montemar offers a more urban location with shorter travel times to the airport and the center of Málaga. Projects in Mijas and Fuengirola are often located further from the airport and city center but can offer access to more golf courses in the immediate vicinity. Prices for the comparison projects start lower (Arosa from €490,000, Waterfall from €720,000), which can partly be explained by the difference in property type (apartment vs. penthouse) and location. Montemar distinguishes itself by the direct location on the bay of Málaga and the possibility for permanent living in a densely populated, urban environment.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is situated in Montemar, an urban coastal district of Málaga. The location is strategic regarding infrastructure: Málaga Airport is located at a distance of 4.8 km, and Playa de la Misericordia beach is at 961 m. This location provides a connection between the city center and the coastline.
With a living area of 414 m², the project meets the demand for space, divided into four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The layout includes a dining room and a living room with a fireplace. The presence of three parking spaces and three storage rooms addresses the need for storage and parking, which is relevant for permanent residency.
This concerns an existing property. The technical condition is described as 'good' with amenities such as central heating, air conditioning, and a fireplace. The apartments are fitted with double glazing, and there is an elevator providing direct access to the home. There are no plans for new construction or renovation that alter the status of the object.
The project is not located on a golf course but at a distance from it. The nearest golf course, Club de Golf Málaga Parador, is 5.0 km away. The location in an urban environment means one does not have a remote 'countryside' experience; the surroundings are urbanized. It is an apartment building, not a detached villa. The property does not have a swimming pool on its own grounds but shares a communal pool.
This project suits residents looking for a permanent residence in an urban environment near the coast. The large surface area and number of bedrooms make it suitable for families or individuals running a household with multiple people. The presence of a private elevator and the location on the ground floor (via the elevator) can play a role in mobility needs. The proximity to the airport may be relevant for individuals who travel frequently. Given the urban context and the presence of public transport, it is less suitable for people seeking absolute peace and seclusion in a rural environment.
The finish of the property includes elements such as wooden beams and a fireplace in the living area, indicating a traditional finishing style. The kitchen has direct access to the terrace, emphasizing the functional layout of the living space. There is air conditioning and central heating for climate control. The apartments are fitted with wardrobes for storage. Although the condition is described as 'good', one should consider the maintenance that comes with an existing property of this size.
The asking price for this penthouse is set at €1,350,000. The pricing reflects the combination of the net living area of 414 m² and the location in Montemar. Prices for real estate in this specific neighborhood usually vary based on views and distance to the sea. Additional costs such as transfer tax (ITP) and notary fees are not included in this price.
Montemar presents itself as a neighborhood where daily life takes place in an urban setting. The proximity of amenities such as a pharmacy at 124 m and a supermarket at 256 m means groceries and medication can be done on foot. The neighborhood has a high number of amenities per square kilometer, leading to an environment where one is not dependent on the car for daily tasks. The presence of 11 public transport lines in the immediate vicinity supports this mobility. The climate, with an annual average of 3,888 sunshine hours, makes the use of the various terraces surrounding the penthouse practical for a large part of the year. The neighborhood is characterized by permanent residence, in contrast to purely tourist zones, bringing stability to the environment.
The living environment in Montemar is characterized by direct access to urban amenities. Playa de la Misericordia beach is at a distance of 961 m, which is approximately a 12-minute walk as the crow flies. The slope of 21.5% towards the beach can be a factor when walking. For daily amenities, there are various restaurants, banks, and cafés available within a radius of 1.3 km. The hospital is located at 1.3 km, ensuring medical proximity. The presence of a train station at 0.2 km makes connection to surrounding cities like Málaga and Torremolinos possible.
The map shows the location in Montemar, directly adjacent to the coastline of the bay of Málaga. The location is characteristic of the western entrance of the city of Málaga, near Torremolinos.
Montemar is located on the west side of the bay of Málaga, bordering Torremolinos. The project is situated at approximately 6 km from the city center of Málaga. This positions the neighborhood as a transition area between the busy tourism of the Costa del Sol and the city of Málaga. The location on the coastline offers views of the bay of Málaga and the Mediterranean Sea.
The location offers high mobility. By car, Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is accessible at a distance of 4.8 km. For beach lovers, there are three options at a short distance: Playa de la Misericordia (961 m), Playa de San Andrés (1.8 km), and Playa Sacaba Beach (1.8 km). Golf courses are at a greater distance, with Club de Golf Málaga Parador as the nearest option at 5.0 km. For electric transport, there is a charging station present at 881 m. Public transport is represented by 50 stops and 11 lines in the area.
