An apartment near the beach, a city house, or accommodation away from tourist routes — searching for real estate in the Alicante province can lead to very different options.

After reviews of Costa Blanca and the Torrevieja areas, the Alicante Real Estate team expanded the comparison. This article presents 16 cities and locations in the province, including the coast and inland areas.

Real estate prices by city

For convenience, locations are arranged from lower average price to higher.

Data as of September 2026. The selection includes selected locations, not all settlements in the province.

Where is real estate more affordable?

In our selection, the lowest average prices are in Villena, Elda, and Alcoy. The highest are in Moraira and Javea.

When choosing between cities, it is important to compare not only the cost per square meter. Consider what daily routes you need, how often you plan to be by the sea, and if you are willing to use a car.

A more affordable price broadens the choice, but the specific property still needs to be evaluated by condition, location, and convenience for your life.

Coast or inland cities: how to choose?

Start with the main question: why are you buying real estate?

If it is accommodation for vacation, determine how important walking to the beach, a terrace, and the possibility to manage without a car are. For permanent residence, make a list of everyday needs: work, school, shops, medical facilities, and sports activities.

If you consider a house with a plot, think in advance about its maintenance. Additional space, garden, and pool require time and expenses, which should be considered at the search stage.

Make two lists: must-have conditions and wishes. This will help to understand whether it is worth expanding the geographical search for more space or better to focus on a specific area.

What affects the price of a specific apartment or house?

The average city price is a starting point for comparison. The cost of an individual property depends on its characteristics.

Pay attention to:

• Microlocation: the street, surroundings, noise, and access convenience.

• Condition: quality of renovation and need for additional work.

• Area: layout, usable space, and how terraces are counted.

• Building: availability of elevator, parking, and condition of common areas.

• Lighting: window orientation, natural light, and privacy.

• Plot: ease of use and amount of required maintenance.

Compare similar properties. An apartment in an old building, a modern residential complex, and a separate villa may belong to the same city but offer completely different conditions.

Can you calculate the budget based on the average price?

Multiplying the area by the average price per square meter will only give an approximate guideline. Such a calculation does not take into account the house features, renovation, view, and exact location.

For practical budget assessment, it is better to select several real listings with the required characteristics. Then compare what is included in the price of each property and what additional work will be needed after purchase.

Also check whether the area in listings is indicated consistently: total built-up area and usable internal area are different metrics.
