We're Bianca and Omèr, and after 20 years on this coast we know Las Lagunas as the everyday, lived-in heart of Mijas Costa, not a holiday postcard. We'll walk you round the quieter streets off the Avenida de Mijas, point out which blocks get the afternoon sun, and always tell you where the price is fair and where it isn't.
“They found us a frontline villa that wasn't even on the open market. Smooth, honest.”
“Three viewings, no pressure, sound advice on schools. Best agency on the coast.”
“Bianca speaks Dutch, knew our notary, and introduced us to other Dutch families nearby.”
The appeal here is simple: you step out of your living room onto a terrace and, more often than not, a slice of private garden, with no stairs or lift between you and the street. In Las Lagunas that suits a particular kind of buyer well, because this is one of the few genuinely walkable, year-round corners of Mijas Costa — the Mercadona and Carrefour, the health centre, the Pueblo Indálico shops and a steady run of cafés are all on foot from most blocks. Ground floors tend to be two- and three-bedroom homes in gated communities with a pool and lawns, the kind built across the newer developments off the A-7 and around Camino de Coín. One-bed ground floors exist but are less common; the format really earns its keep at the family end.
For full-time living the ground floor has real advantages, and we'll always be straight about the trade-offs: more privacy to manage, occasionally less light than an upper floor, and you'll want to check the orientation and whether the garden is truly private or shared. Done well, these are some of the easiest homes to live in all year — which is exactly why they hold their value in Las Lagunas.
Las Lagunas is the part of Mijas that feels like a real Spanish town rather than a resort. It sits on the flat ground between Mijas Pueblo up the hill and Fuengirola down on the coast, and it's home to a good share of the whole municipality's population. The mix is genuinely local: Spanish families who've been here for generations, working professionals who commute to Málaga or Fuengirola, and a steady international community of northern Europeans who chose substance over sea view. You'll hear Spanish in the bakery before you hear English, the schools and health centre are busy at the school run, and the shops stay open through winter. That's the appeal for a lot of our buyers, and it's also why Las Lagunas works so well for long-term lets. People want to live here all year, not just for August, so a sensible apartment rarely sits empty.
Apartments are what Las Lagunas does, and does in volume. The dominant stock is mid-rise blocks, ranging from older 1990s and 2000s buildings near the centre to crisp new-build developments out towards the A-7 and the Fuengirola border. Penthouses sit at the top of that pyramid, prized for their big solariums and the open views back to the mountains, and you'll find a healthy run of ground-floor apartments with private terraces or small gardens that suit anyone who'd rather not deal with a lift. Town houses round out the picture, typically in gated communities with a shared pool, giving you a bit more space and a patio without the upkeep of a freestanding villa. It's a practical, well-built housing stock rather than a showy one. If you want a clifftop designer villa, that's not Las Lagunas; if you want a solid home with parking and a community pool a few minutes from everything, this is exactly the place.
Las Lagunas is one of the better-value corners of Mijas Costa, and that's the honest draw. A modest one- or two-bedroom apartment, particularly an older resale, typically starts in the low-to-mid €200,000s, and you can occasionally find smaller or dated units below that. A comfortable two- or three-bedroom apartment in good condition generally runs from the mid-€200,000s into the high €300,000s depending on the building, the terrace and how close you are to the park. Penthouses and the better new-build apartments push from the high €300,000s through the €400,000s and up, with the strongest new developments reaching well beyond. Ground-floor apartments and town houses sit broadly in the same band as comparable apartments, with garden space adding a premium. New-build always carries a premium over resale, and we'll always tell you when a brochure price is ahead of what the resale market nearby actually supports.
Day to day, Las Lagunas is hard to beat for convenience. The big retail names are on the doorstep — Miramar shopping centre, El Corte Inglés, Carrefour, Leroy Merlin and Decathlon — alongside ordinary neighbourhood supermarkets, a fresh-produce market, a weekly street market and the usual run of cafés and tapas bars. Families are well served, with several state and semi-private schools including IES Las Lagunas, plus a health centre and sports facilities close by. The green lung of the area is the Parque de la Costa del Sol, a large park with a boating lake, skate park, dog area and play zones that locals genuinely use. For getting out, the A-7 motorway runs right alongside, putting Fuengirola, Marbella and Málaga all within an easy drive; the beaches of Fuengirola and Los Boliches are only a few minutes down the hill; and Fuengirola station, the terminus of the C-1 Cercanías line, is roughly three to four kilometres away, giving you a direct train to Málaga Airport and Málaga city centre without touching the car. Golfers have Mijas Golf and Cerrado del Águila within a short drive.
We treat Las Lagunas the way we'd treat it for our own family, because we know the streets, the communities and the quirks that don't show up in a listing. We'll tell you which blocks have low community fees and which have a lift problem brewing, which terraces face the afternoon sun and which back onto the motorway noise, and which new developments are genuinely worth the new-build premium. We won't push you towards the most expensive thing on the page, and if we think a home is over-priced for what it is, we'll say so and explain why. We help with the whole process too, from viewings and lawyers to NIE numbers and snagging on new builds. If you'd like an honest, local read on buying in Las Lagunas, drop us a line.
Most are two- or three-bedroom homes, typically around 80 to 120 sq m of interior space, with a terrace of roughly 20 to 40 sq m and often a private garden plot on top. One-bedroom ground floors come up but are less common. The defining features are level access from the street with no lift, a terrace that flows off the living room, and frequently a patch of private garden — the practical draw for families, downsizers and anyone with mobility in mind.
As a rough guide, two-bedroom ground floors generally run from the high €200,000s into the €400,000s, with three-bedroom homes and newer gated developments reaching higher, and standout properties with large private gardens occasionally going well beyond that. Price turns mainly on the build year, the size of the garden and terrace, the community facilities and how close you are to the shops. We'll always tell you which homes are priced ahead of the market and why.
They appeal most to full-time residents and families who want outdoor space without the upkeep of a villa, downsizers who would rather avoid lifts and stairs, and buyers with dogs or young children who value direct garden access. Because Las Lagunas is walkable and lived-in all year rather than seasonal, ground floors here are bought to be used year-round more often than as holiday lock-ups — which is part of why they tend to sell steadily.
Las Lagunas is the inland, urban district of Mijas Costa, sitting on the flat ground between Mijas Pueblo and Fuengirola in Málaga province. It isn't a beachfront area itself, but the Fuengirola and Los Boliches beaches are only a few minutes' drive down the hill, so you get coastal access without paying seafront prices.
Las Lagunas is good value for Mijas Costa. Smaller resale apartments typically start in the low-to-mid €200,000s, comfortable two- or three-bedroom apartments in good condition generally run from the mid-€200,000s into the high €300,000s, and penthouses and quality new-builds push from the high €300,000s through the €400,000s and beyond. Ground-floor apartments and town houses sit in a similar band, with garden space adding a premium.
Yes, it's one of the most genuinely lived-in parts of the coast. A large share of the Mijas population lives here all year, drawn by schools such as IES Las Lagunas, a health centre, sports facilities, the Parque de la Costa del Sol and full retail on the doorstep. Shops and restaurants stay open through winter, which also makes it reliable for long-term rental income.
Very good. The A-7 motorway runs right alongside the district, putting Fuengirola, Marbella and Málaga within an easy drive. Fuengirola station, about three to four kilometres away, is the terminus of the C-1 Cercanías line with a direct train to Málaga Airport and Málaga city centre. Málaga Airport is roughly a 25 to 30 minute drive.
Overwhelmingly apartments, in mid-rise blocks ranging from 1990s and 2000s resales to modern new-build developments near the A-7. You'll also find penthouses with large solariums, ground-floor apartments with private terraces or small gardens, and town houses in gated communities with shared pools. It's solid, practical housing rather than designer villas, which is exactly why it represents such good value.
