Living in Alicante
Alicante is a genuine city: a vibrant centre with the imposing Castillo de Santa Bárbara towering above the bay, a lively harbour with a promenade, and a wide city beach, the Playa del Postiguet, within walking distance of the old town. The districts of El Cabo de las Huertas and Playa de San Juan, north of the centre, are popular with permanent residents and offer more spacious apartments close to the sea. Those who want to be in the heart of it all, with every urban amenity on the doorstep, tend to look at the Centro or Ensanche neighbourhoods. Alicante is also the logistical hub of the Costa Blanca: the international airport is just ten minutes from the city, an advantage you simply do not have in Benidorm or Altea.
What to expect
The offer in Alicante is varied: from entry-level apartments in the centre to modern new-build projects in the coastal districts with shared pools and underground parking. The city attracts both buyers looking to live there permanently and investors targeting long-term rentals to expats and students. Holiday rental is possible but requires a licence. For a broader picture of what the whole region has to offer, our overview of apartments on the Costa Blanca is a good starting point.

Frequently asked questions
How much does an apartment in Alicante cost?
Prices vary considerably by neighbourhood and position. City centre apartments and new-build properties in the coastal districts tend to be priced higher than those further from the sea. Check the current listings above for a realistic picture.
Do I need a NIE number to buy?
Yes. The NIE is your Spanish tax identification number and is required for every property purchase. Palmhouses takes care of the application on your behalf.
Is Alicante a good option for rental investment?
Alicante has both a tourist rental market and a strong long-term rental market, driven by the university and expat community. A tourist rental licence is required for short-term lets. We are happy to help you work out which option suits your situation best.
