If you are looking to buy property on the Costa Blanca, it is worth having a look at Ciudad Quesada, one of the area’s newest and most beautiful towns, with a wealth of fantastically priced properties – a perfect place to find a dream holiday home.
Unlike a lot of towns on the Costa Blanca, Ciudad Quesada does not have an extensive history. It has no connections with North African settlements or evidence of Roman habitiation, but was built from scratch in a project initiated by Justo Quesada Samper in 1972, with its town hall opened in 1999. It is situated near the town of Rojales, on a hillside, so offers beautiful views of the surrounding area.
But if you are buying a property on the Costa Blanca, and decide to look in Ciudad Quesada for your dream apartment, it is worth considering the wealth of activities in the area, perfect for families and couples alike. It is a town that is equally good for relaxing or having an energetic holiday. For example, families buying property on the Costa Blanca will be able to enjoy the Aqua Splash water park, which has a great range of flumes and swimming pools. The largest slide is built to take full advantage of the town’s hillside location, offering a view all over the area, looking out to the Mediterranean. Aqua Splash even has reasonable entry prices, so you are able to enjoy a great day out without paying the usual theme park prices.
For couples wanting to buy property on the Costa Blanca, but looking for a more relaxing holiday, or the opportunity to visit some historical sites, Ciudad Quesada is still a great place to buy a holiday home. It is much less expensive than the more historical towns like Rojales and Formentera del Segura, but these towns are close enough to visit easily, especially with great links by road, so it is possible to live in a less highly priced area, and still enjoy the historical sites. The town itself even boats an 18-hole golf course, so keen golfers can hone their skills in the sun. Those looking for a beach to quietly sunbathe should check out La Mata, a beautiful little village with a gorgeous beach – great for watching the sun set in the evening.
Housing in Ciudad Quesada can be bought very, very cheaply; apartment prices start at 52,500 Euros for a small apartment, but it is possible to get a two-bedroom place for just under 70,000 Euros, so it is worth investing in a slightly larger property if you are buying property on the Costa Blanca. For less than 20,000 Euros extra, you can find an apartment almost double the size of the cheapest places available. However, you will find it hard to buy a larger property in the town. Most of the builds available are flats rather than stand-alone houses.
So when you are searching for property on the Costa Blanca, it is most certainly worth having a look around Ciudad Quesada. For a beautiful, modern town, with fantastic views and only thirty minutes from the Alicante airport, it is possible to find your dream property at a very reasonable price.
