Even among those people familiar with Marbella and the Costa del Sol, there are those areas everyone knows and those that remain a little hidden to the broader public. This applies to La Cerquilla within Nueva Andalucía and Cascáda de Camoján in Sierra Blanca, and also to the newly upcoming residential areas of La Alquería and Capanes-Sur in Benahavis.
Though well-established by now, these stylish residential areas, which first began to take shape in the 1990s and have been evolving ever since, are still being ‘discovered’ by new buyers every year. So much so, in fact, that they are now increasingly in vogue and in-demand especially among those buyers looking for modern property in Marbella.
Why it’s an up-and-coming area
Firstly, there is an attractive location close to both nature and a whole list of amenities, as La Alquería and Capanes Sur belong to the Benahavis municipality, and find themselves close to that village as well as San Pedro Alcántara, Estepona, Puerto Banús and Marbella town. This brings everything from shopping, schools and dining to sport clubs and beaches within easy range.
Golf and nature
Buyers are close to the golf courses of Atalaya, El Paraíso and Guadalmina, but also have two right on their doorsteps. Many of the apartments and villas in La Alquería overlook the course of the same name, while the Los Capanes course snakes around the Capanes del Golf apartment complex, also known for its views and beautiful gardens. In addition, the amenities in the immediate area include a major supermarket and a prestigious bilingual school with excellent facilities.
Quality properties
La Alquería-Capanes Sur has been very popular due to the quality of its apartments, the space and tranquillity it offers close to all amenities, and the stylish modern villas being built here, which are raising the standing of the area among the Costa del Sol’s residential addresses.
Attractive prices
One other important factor is value for money, as prices here are very attractive, meaning you get a lot more house for your money in a great location on the New Golden Mile.
The area is really taking off, while architectural villas like this designer home in La Alqueria and this luxurious family home ensure La Alquería-Capanes Sur is an excellent alternative option to established villa suburbs such as Nueva Andalucía and also Guadalmina, Sierra Blanca and Rocío de Nagüeles.
This stylish modern villa is a fine example of a villa currently available in this area.
For those in the know, La Alquería-Capanes Sur is very much an upcoming area and a great place to both live and/or invest in, so get in touch if you would like to know more about one of Marbella’s hot property propositions right now.
