Living in Murcia
Murcia is different from the typical coastal towns of the Costa Blanca: it is a genuine Spanish provincial city, around half an hour from the sea, with a rich history, a vibrant city centre and one of the finest Baroque cathedrals in the country. The city has a character all of its own that you simply will not find in Benidorm or Calpe: wide boulevards, busy markets, an extensive restaurant and tapas scene and a large student population that keeps the city lively all year round. The beaches of the Costa Cálida, particularly around Mazarrón and the Mar Menor, are a short drive away. Those who want to compare coastal options in the region will find a useful starting point in our overview of apartments in Torrevieja, the nearest coastal town towards the Costa Blanca.
What to expect
Apartments in Murcia are generally more spacious and more affordable than comparable properties on the coast. The offer ranges from renovated units in the historic centre to new-build projects in the expanding neighbourhoods on the outskirts of the city. Murcia attracts primarily buyers who want to live permanently or spend their winters in an authentic Spanish setting, and investors targeting long-term rentals to expats, students or local tenants. Murcia-Corvera airport is less than twenty minutes away and Alicante airport around an hour. For those also considering new-build on the coast, the apartments in Torrevieja or the apartments on the Costa Blanca offer an interesting point of comparison.

Frequently asked questions
How much does an apartment in Murcia cost?
Murcia is one of the most affordable markets in the region. Both in the centre and in the new-build neighbourhoods, prices are generally lower than on the coast. 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 Murcia a good option for rental investment?
Murcia has a stable long-term rental market thanks to its university and growing expat community. Short-term tourist rental is less common here than on the coast, but still requires a licence. We are happy to help you work out which rental strategy suits your situation best.
