Properties in Alicante, SpainThe city of Alicante in the region of Alicante on the Costa Blanca is one of the most popular cities in Spain for British holiday makers and home hunters.  Its international airport is highly and cheaply accessible from the UK which is probably just one more reason why almost 100,000 Brits already own properties in Alicante.

The resort itself is full of life and vibrancy and boasts a fine array of properties for sale; yet if you step away from the city and explore the larger Alicante region and the Costa Blanca itself, which borders Valencia in the north and Murcia in the south, you find an abundance of wildly different property types in widely different locations.

Starting in the resort of Alicante the most affordable properties for sale tend to be apartments which also offer fantastic rental yield potential if you’re an investor - such is the popularity of the resort during the peak summer months.  A one bedroom studio apartment close to San Juan beach starts from EUR 95,000 and at the upper end of the property scale you can expect to pay in the region of EUR 1.2 million for a fairly centrally located six bedroom four bathroom villa.

There are an abundance of fantastic golf course in the Alicante region and you have access to the most famous sports resort in Europe namely La Manga Club which is home to 3 world class courses.  The Club recently won Europe’s Top Golf Resort award at the World Travel Awards in New York for the third time.  So golf enthusiasts can rest assured that there are plenty of golf apartments and villas for sale in and around Alicante and you can expect to pay from EUR 128,000 for a two bedroom resale apartment, right up to EUR 2.1 million for a five bedroom, six bathroom villa on the sixth fairway on the South Course at La Manga.

If you dream of rural properties in Alicante, Spain is of course home to many beautiful Fincas and rundown farm houses and the region of Alicante is no exception.  As soon as you head inland away from the coast you get more of a feeling of actually being in the real Spain!  The sleepy towns and villages you come across are home to the Spanish of the region with the coastal regions being populated more with a mixture of many European nationalities, of which British is definitely the dominant.

Refurbished town houses start from as little as EUR 139,000 or you can pay upwards of EUR 900,000 for a stunningly situated four bedroom mountain home with amazing views.

As you can see the Alicante region in Spain has a property to suit every budget and a home to suit every lifestyle requirement, all you have to do is select your favourites from a very long list!
