The cheapest place to live by the beach on the Costa Blanca
There are houses for sale from €53,000 in this area within the Vega Baja
There is one city in the Vega Baja that has the lowest housing prices on the whole of the Costa Blanca, and with 89,290 inhabitants it is also home to 122 different nationalities.
With the housing market at an all-time high in Spanish cities and coastal towns, a move to the beach seems out of reach for many people. According to data from the real estate portal idealista, the average price of housing in the city of Alicante is 2,133 euros in August 2024, with a year-on-year evolution of +17.2%.
Faced with this reality, many families choose to move to inland municipalities, or seek out the few remaining coastal towns which are still within a reasonable financial range.
Torrevieja is one such municipality that is still affordable, and on the coast. In fact, the town was ranked as the most affordable coastal city in all of Spain.

Ukrainian citizens are the most prevalent residents in the municipal census, with 6,939 registered residents, ahead of Russia (5,540) and the United Kingdom (4,910). Citizens of Spanish origin represent 51.9%.
