Compared to other projects in the vicinity, such as Acqua Gardens in Estepona (from €418,800) and Alba Benalmadena in Benalmadena (from €699,000), this duplex apartment in Riviera del Sol offers a favourable price point with a starting price of €339,000. The comparable project Aby Upper in Estepona, priced from €320,000, is similar in terms of price. Riviera del Sol itself is a more established and urban-oriented location than, for example, the newer developments in Estepona, translating into more direct access to a wide range of daily amenities. While projects in Benalmadena are often priced higher, Riviera del Sol provides a more accessible entry price for a property with similar basic features like two bedrooms and communal facilities. Proximity to golf courses is a shared characteristic with many Costa del Sol locations, but the specific density of restaurants and shops within walking distance distinguishes this location.
