Comparison with nationwide trends
Across Spain as a whole, the average price of housing reached €2,555 per square meter. The annual growth rate matches that of Alicante—15.7%. Although Alicante trails slightly in absolute price, its growth rate is on par with the national average.

The city’s most expensive and most affordable neighborhoods
Within Alicante, property prices vary significantly by neighborhood. The highest prices are in the Playa de San Juan-El Cabo area, where a square meter costs €3,563—up 18.4% from a year ago. In the city center, apartments average €3,280 per square meter, while in Parque Avenidas-Vistahermosa and San Blas-Pau neighborhoods, prices stand at €2,581 and €2,524 respectively. The most notable growth was in San Blas-Pau, where prices jumped 23% over the past year.
The most affordable neighborhoods remain in the north. In the Virgen del Remedio-Juan XXIII area, the average price per square meter is €1,156, which is 22.1% higher than a year ago. In Los Ángeles-Tómbola-San Nicolás and Campoamor-Carolinas-Altozano, prices are €1,718 and €1,862 respectively. Even in these districts, there has been significant growth—over 19% in a year.
Factors influencing price trends
Experts attribute the increase to steady demand for vacation homes and second residences by the sea. Apartments in coastal areas are especially sought after, where prices per square meter are approaching €3,600. At the same time, even in traditionally affordable neighborhoods, the market is showing renewed activity and greater interest from buyers.
As a result, Alicante continues to strengthen its position as one of the most attractive cities for real estate investment on the Spanish coast. Demand is expected to remain high in the coming months, while prices are predicted to stay stable or even rise further.
