Regional Comparison

Compared to similar apartments on the Costa del Sol, such as Acqua Gardens in Estepona (from €418,800) and Aby Upper in Estepona (from €320,000), this project is priced around the average, with a asking price of €385,000. The 189 m² living area is spacious, especially compared to newer projects which are often more compact. Alba Benalmadena, with a higher starting price of €699,000, represents a different market segment, likely with more luxury or newer facilities. The location in Riviera del Sol, between Fuengirola and Mijas, offers a good balance of urban amenities and coastal access, similar to many developments in the region, but distinguishes itself with the specific combination of views from 135 meters altitude and direct access to a private garden, which is not always standard with apartments. The possibility of short-term rentals adds an extra investment dimension that is sought after in all price segments on the Costa del Sol.
