La Alcaidesa Property Prices

How we measure prices here

The figures on this page reflect the median asking price across 35 active listings in La Alcaidesa as of October 2026. Median is the midpoint of the range: half the properties ask more, half ask less. We use median rather than mean because a handful of high-end listings can skew the average sharply upward. In La Alcaidesa the mean sits at €1.36M, well above the €510k median, which tells you the top of the market pulls the average but does not represent the typical asking price. These are advertised figures, not completed sale prices, so they show what sellers and agents currently expect rather than what buyers have agreed to pay.

What the numbers say about La Alcaidesa

La Alcaidesa sits on the western edge of the Costa del Sol, close to the Sotogrande enclave and the Gibraltar border. The stock here skews toward apartments and penthouses rather than detached villas, and the pricing reflects that coastal-residential mix. The median asking price stands at €510k, with a cost per square metre of €4,289. The interquartile spread runs from €394k at the lower quartile to €1.13M at the upper, a range that captures the difference between smaller apartments and larger penthouses or townhouses. The floor is €265k and the ceiling reaches €8.9M, underlining the presence of a few premium properties alongside the bulk of mid-market stock. This is not a purely villa-driven market, and the figures show it.

Prices by property type

Apartments account for 40% of the active listings and carry a median asking price of €440k, with a per-square-metre rate of €3,742. That rate sits below the overall €4,289 figure, which makes sense given apartments typically command less per square metre than houses. The apartment segment forms the core of the market here, and buyers looking at flats will find the median price point well below the headline number for all property types combined.

Penthouses make up 23% of the stock, a substantial share that reflects the prevalence of low-rise developments with top-floor units. Penthouses in La Alcaidesa often come with larger terraces and better views than standard apartments, and their pricing sits higher as a result. The type mix here is more weighted toward flats and penthouses than toward villas, which is unusual for this stretch of coast but typical of the residential complexes that define La Alcaidesa.

Villas represent 26% of the listings, a smaller slice than in many neighbouring areas. Townhouses account for 11%. The dominance of apartment and penthouse stock means the overall median is shaped more by multi-unit buildings than by detached houses, and buyers hunting for a villa will find fewer options and a different price structure than in villa-heavy enclaves nearby.

How La Alcaidesa compares

La Alcaidesa sits between Sotogrande Alto and Sotogrande Costa to the west, both of which show lower per-square-metre rates, and La Reserva de Sotogrande to the northwest, which commands higher prices. The neighbourhood offers a middle ground: more affordable than the gated Reserva but still within reach of the Sotogrande marina, golf courses and international school. The type mix plays a role in this positioning. La Alcaidesa has more apartments and fewer villas than Sotogrande Costa, which keeps the median asking price accessible while still offering beachfront and golf-course access. Buyers willing to consider a flat or penthouse rather than a villa will find better value here than in the premium pockets of Sotogrande, while those prioritising a detached house may find the selection limited and the pricing closer to the upper end of the local range.

How to read these figures as a buyer

The spread between €394k and €1.13M shows that a quarter of the market asks below €394k and a quarter asks above €1.13M, so there is room to find both entry-level apartments and higher-end penthouses or townhouses within the same neighbourhood. The €4,289 rate gives you a baseline for comparing properties of different sizes: a smaller apartment at a higher rate per square metre may still cost less overall than a larger penthouse at a lower rate. The dominance of apartments and penthouses means the market here is shaped by buyers looking for lock-up-and-leave coastal living rather than large family villas with private pools and gardens.

Remember that these are asking prices, not sold prices. Sellers and agents set these figures based on what they hope to achieve, and the final sale price often comes in lower after negotiation. The gap between asking and selling varies by property type, condition and how long a listing has been on the market. A property priced at the upper quartile may have been listed for months without offers, while a well-priced apartment near the median may move quickly. Use these figures as a starting point for understanding the structure of the market, not as a guarantee of what you will pay. The interquartile range and the type breakdown give you the context to assess whether an individual listing is priced in line with the local norm or sits at an outlier level that demands scrutiny.
