Nestled in Las Lagunas de Mijas, this bright one-bedroom apartment on Avenida de Rota embodies the kind of accessible, coast‑adjacent living that international buyers seek on the Costa del Sol. Offered at EUR 249,000 and spanning 52.0 m², the home pairs practical interiors with a sea-view terrace and building amenities that suit both short visits and year‑round residency.

Discovering the apartment with MAK‑1 International Realty

Take this Las Lagunas de Mijas apartment as a case study: MAK‑1 International Realty identified a property that balances price, proximity to the coast and rental potential. As shown in the photos, the living room benefits from large windows that frame Mediterranean light, while the terrace offers partial sea views — features MAK‑1 highlights when advising international clients on buy‑to‑let appeal and lifestyle value.

Spanning 52.0 m² with one bedroom and a single bathroom, the layout is compact but efficiently planned. The apartment was built in 1986 and is presented furnished, with air conditioning and an elevator in the block — practical details MAK‑1 emphasises because they reduce time‑to‑rental and the initial cost of setting up for overseas owners.

Interior features that matter to international buyers

The apartment’s interior speaks to three buyer priorities: natural light, ease of maintenance and immediate usability. The living area opens onto a terrace where the images reveal enough sea horizon to anchor the home’s coastal positioning. The bedroom is a private, calm space suitable for long stays or for staging as a short‑let bedroom.

Standout amenities

• Swimming pool — attractive for holiday rentals and resident comfort.
• Sea view from the terrace — adds lifestyle appeal and market differentiation.
• Lift, air conditioning and furnished condition — reduce friction for international owners.

How MAK‑1 presents and positions this listing

MAK‑1 International Realty, based in La Cala de Mijas with 25 years in the market, uses a pragmatic, data‑aware approach to position homes like this one. Their workflow for international buyers typically includes: localized pricing analysis, documented running costs, professional photography (the supplied images illustrate room proportions and orientation) and a clear summary of amenity advantages for renters and owners alike.

Their overall platform rating sits at 60/100 — a transparent metric MAK‑1 accepts and addresses by focusing on steady client service and niche specialisations such as first‑time buyers and investment properties. For buyers abroad, MAK‑1’s value lies in practical local knowledge: which neighbourhood pockets retain rental demand, where renovation budgets will yield the best uplift, and which building features (pool, lift, furnished units) truly matter for quick lettings.

Las Lagunas de Mijas: context and market signals

Las Lagunas de Mijas sits inland from the immediate beachfront but benefits from fast connections to coastal towns, golf courses and Málaga airport. As the photos suggest, the area delivers an urban, community‑focused environment while keeping beaches within short drives — a combination that attracts long‑stay tourists and professionals who value affordability over frontline beach premiums.

For international buyers this means: lower entry prices compared with frontline towns, steady local rental demand, and opportunities to add value through modest upgrades. MAK‑1’s assessment of this apartment highlights those trade‑offs — they price the home at EUR 249,000 to reflect both current condition and market comparables in Las Lagunas.

Buying considerations and practical advice

If you’re evaluating similar one‑bedroom apartments on the Costa del Sol, look for five practical signals that MAK‑1 emphasises when vetting purchases for international clients:

1. 1) Proven amenity set — pool, lift and outdoor space reduce seasonal vacancy.
2. 2) Furnished or easily furnished — lowers initial capital outlay for overseas owners.
3. 3) Access to transport and the coast — a 20–30 minute commute to beaches and airport is often acceptable.
4. 4) Clear maintenance records and community fees — transparency avoids surprises after purchase.
5. 5) Photos and orientation — light and sea‑facing aspects materially influence rental rates and resale.
