Location is the most defining factor when it comes to a property along the Costa del Sol. Put simply, the closer you are to the sea, the more expensive the home is likely to be. However, if you are after a one- or two-bedroom property, then you are going to find a suitable apartment easily. Furthermore, many of the apartments listed here come with features such as being relatively newly built, being in a gated community, a wonderful terrace, air-conditioning, and access to a communal pool – all for under €200,000. If you are moving as a couple to Spain, it could not be a better fit. If you are small family wanting to buy a holiday home, then maybe a small property would work for the summer, so long as you can all run down gleefully to the beach.
Alternatively, if you don’t mind a thirty minute or so drive to the coast, then you are going to be able to find a property for less than €100,000. Often, these properties also benefit from lovely gardens of fruit trees and views of the mountains. You’ll find a tranquil atmosphere in these homes.
Some of these properties are run-down and in need some significant TLC to get them looking fabulous again. But turning an old property into a magnificent home might just be the project that you are after.
Please note: our properties are in high demand. If one of the properties that you are interested in from this list is no longer available, don’t be disheartened, head over to our property portal to find another equally eye-catching one.
