Compared to apartments like APARTMENTS PALANGRE BEACH (from €160,000) and EDIFICIO SUN & CENTER (from €169,000) in Torrevieja, which are located directly on the coast, this property in Orihuela offers a significantly different type of home and location. These apartments cater to a more urban, coastal lifestyle with limited private outdoor space. OASIS LAGUNA 2 - PHASE II in Urbanización El Raso (from €227,000) is a development of new apartments and bungalows, also closer to the coast and partly in a resort-style setting. The Finca - Cortijo in Orihuela stands out for its rural character, large plot, and the combination of living space with agricultural potential. Although its price of €675,000 is higher than the starting prices of the mentioned apartments, it offers substantially more private land and a home with a larger living area. Its inland location, away from immediate tourist hubs, positions it differently from typical Costa Blanca coastal projects, potentially attracting a different buyer profile seeking tranquility and space while retaining access to amenities.
