Beach side Townhouses for Sale in Ojen

Ojen sits just inland from Marbella, tucked into the foothills of the Sierra de las Nieves. The townhouses here cluster mainly in purpose-built complexes that ring the village, offering two or three storeys, private terraces, and shared pools within secure developments. Corner units often enjoy extra light and a wrap-around garden, while mid-terrace homes trade some openness for lower community fees and a tighter floor plan. The stock is a mix of early-2000s builds and newer projects. Most layouts follow a Mediterranean scheme: living and kitchen on the ground floor opening to a patio, bedrooms upstairs, and often a third-floor solarium with views toward the coast or the mountains. Parking is typically underground or in a dedicated bay. You will not find the wide choice of beachside complexes that line Marbella or Estepona, but the trade-off is quieter streets, cheaper running costs, and a village that still feels more Spanish than international. Buyers here split into two groups. Some want a lock-up-and-leave bolthole within ten minutes of Marbella, valuing the perimeter security and on-site caretaker. Others are relocating full-time, drawn by the blend of outdoor access, the slower pace of village life, and the fact that Ojen remains affordable compared to the coast. Families with children often choose townhouses for the extra bedrooms and garden space, while retirees appreciate not needing to maintain a large plot or worry about a remote hillside villa. The village itself is small. You can walk to the plaza, a handful of restaurants, a pharmacy, and a mini-market, but you will drive for larger supermarkets, international schools, and the beaches. The road down to Marbella is winding but short. Community fees vary by development age and amenities but tend to sit well below equivalent complexes closer to the sea. Most townhouse communities enforce bylaws on exterior changes, so confirm what freedoms you have before committing if you plan structural work or want to enclose a terrace.
