Costa Blanca, A Place to call Home
Date: 12/18/2006
Who hasn’t dreamed of living in a villa or apartment overlooking the ocean? You might think that to live in such places, especially in Europe, you’d need to be a millionaire. If you still think this way, you probably haven’t visited Spain’s Costa Blanca (White Coast). On the end of the Iberian Peninsula in the province of Alicante, this is a land of unique light and color bathed by the Mediterranean, its name taken from the miles of beautiful sandy beaches that stretch from the cosmopolitan town of Denia in the north to Torrevieja in the south.
The region offers something for everyone: a paradise for golfers and gourmets, sun-worshipers and serious party people, families, and couples. With over 320 days of sunshine in the year and an average temperature of 72° F, the World Health Organization has declared it as having one of the healthiest climates in the world. The Costa Blanca is now one of Europe’s most cosmopolitan locations, visited by foreigners who have come here for vacation—and decided to settle permanently.
With its two international airports, train stations, and well-maintained roads, travel to and around the Costa Blanca is simplicity itself. Among the most popular destinations are the towns of Benidorm, Calpe, Denia, Moraira, and Javea, on a highly developed coastline. But you’ll also find quiet residential areas with villas, chalets, bungalows, and apartments on the coast, as well as acres of unspoiled countryside with views of the mountains, old Moorish or Roman ruins, and some of the best golf courses in Spain.
Depending on location, an apartment can cost you from between 85,000 euro ($108,000) and 158,000 euro ($200,000). A two- or three-bedroom detached villa with private swimming pool and sea views can start at 235,000 euro ($300,000). Best of all, these properties can be built according to your specifications and most prices include perks such as major appliances, special wooden doors, quality tiling throughout, and more. So, you don’t have to be a millionaire to afford one of these homes––you just need to dream like one!
