Regional Comparison
Altura 160 offers a compelling proposition for those seeking a modern apartment in the serene town of Benahavís. Positioned at a starting price of EUR 499,000, Altura 160 is priced higher than similar developments like Fuente Lirios, which begins at EUR 400,000, also located in Benahavís. While Fuente Lirios may appeal to budget-conscious buyers, Altura 160 stands out with its superior amenities and premium design, justifying its higher entry price. In comparison to projects in nearby Estepona, such as Acqua Gardens and Aby Upper, Altura 160 represents a strategic choice for those who appreciate a blend of luxury and tranquility. Acqua Gardens starts at EUR 418,800, and Aby Upper offers a more budget-friendly entry point at EUR 320,000. Both are well-situated in Estepona, a lively area known for its vibrant lifestyle and coastal attractions. However, for those who prioritize the exclusivity and natural beauty of inland living, Benahavís offers a more peaceful environment with picturesque landscapes and a renowned culinary scene. Altura 160’s distinctive selling points include its modern architecture and advanced facilities tailored for high-end living. It strikes a balance between contemporary elegance and the lush, natural appeal of Benahavís. This sets it apart from Estepona projects, which may focus more on coastal views and price competitiveness.
