Apartment Living

Buying an apartment on the Northern Costa Blanca coast is a dream for many Spanish nationals and expats from across Europe and the world, either for a second home or to live permanently. An apartment gives its owner a sense of security and the ability to lock up and leave whenever they need to.
Buying an apartment for a holiday home takes away the extensive maintenance and costs involved of running a villa, with large gardens and a pool. There are still community charges to be paid, but these are very low in comparison. It also allows property owners to leave their apartment whenever they need to return home, knowing that it will be secure and looked after.
Apartments are usually within walking distance to amenities, such as restaurants, bars and supermarkets, as well as health centres, sports clubs, and other activities. The car is not often needed and can be left at home, or guests visiting can get around without the worry of taxis or public transport.
Many people choose apartment living as a permanent home, again the costs being lower than a villa, especially in the winter when the property requires heating. There is always a management company that takes care of the maintenance of the building, gardens, and swimming pool. In Spain it is a legal requirement to have a management company in apartment blocks.
Overall, apartments make a sensible choice for many permanent and holiday homeowners here on the Mediterranean coast.
