Buying property in Ciudad Quesada

Ciudad Quesada is the original purpose-built international urbanisation on the Costa Blanca South — a 1970s planned community of 12,000 residents wrapped around the La Marquesa 18-hole golf course, 10 minutes inland from Guardamar beach and 30 minutes from Alicante airport. The vast majority of residents are British, Belgian, Dutch, German and Scandinavian, making it one of the most internationally oriented towns on the Spanish coast — English is the default language in most shops, bars, doctors and supermarkets. Property stock is dominated by detached and semi-detached bungalows with private pools and gardens, alongside townhouses and a smaller number of apartments. For buyers prioritising year-round expat community, golf and a private outdoor space at modest prices, Ciudad Quesada is the benchmark.

Ciudad Quesada property market 2026

Ciudad Quesada prices rose 6–8% in 2024 with very tight supply — well-presented detached bungalows under €300,000 typically sell within 4–6 weeks. Typical 2-bed townhouse: €175,000–€240,000. Detached 3-bed bungalow with private pool: €260,000–€400,000. Larger villa with golf views: €400,000–€650,000. Long-term rental demand from northern European long-stay residents generates 5–6% gross yields; holiday lets 6–8% in summer with a Valencia tourist licence. The buyer market is 80%+ international, with British and Belgian buyers dominating since 2022.

Buying process for international buyers

Ciudad Quesada follows the standard Valencia region process — 4–8 weeks completion, 11–13% total purchase costs (10% ITP on resales, 10% IVA + 1.5% AJD on new builds, 1–2% notary/registry, 1% legal). Most local estate agencies and lawyers are bilingual and many are foreign-owned, so the process runs in English by default. Non-resident mortgages are widely available at 60–70% LTV. The administrative town hall is Rojales — Ciudad Quesada is technically part of the Rojales municipality.

Frequently asked questions about buying in Ciudad Quesada

How much does a property in Ciudad Quesada cost?
2-bed townhouses start at €175,000–€240,000. Detached 3-bed bungalows with private pool: €260,000–€400,000. Larger villas with golf or country views: €400,000–€650,000. 1- and 2-bed apartments in Lo Rosales: €120,000–€200,000. Prices are roughly in line with Guardamar and 15–20% above Torrevieja.
Is Ciudad Quesada a good place to live as an expat?
Yes — it is widely considered the most internationally oriented town on the Costa Blanca, with English as the default working language in shops, medical services and town infrastructure. Strong British, Belgian, Dutch, German and Scandinavian communities. Best suited to retirees and remote workers who want a community-focused expat lifestyle with a private pool and easy access to golf and beaches.
What is La Marquesa Golf Course like?
La Marquesa is an 18-hole, par-72 course that opened in 1989 in the heart of Ciudad Quesada. Green fees are around €40, with 320 playing days per year. The course is owned by the Quesada urbanisation and most properties are within a 5-minute walk. Properties directly on the golf course typically carry a 15–25% price premium over the rest of Quesada.
Is Ciudad Quesada too quiet out of season?
No — with 12,000 year-round residents and a high proportion of permanent expat homes (rather than holiday lets), Ciudad Quesada is one of the few Costa Blanca urbanisations that maintains full bar, restaurant and shop opening through the winter. December and January are quieter than August but Lo Rosales remains a functioning year-round high street.
Ciudad Quesada vs Torrevieja for retirement?
Quesada wins on outdoor space (most properties have private pools and gardens, very rare in Torrevieja at the same price), golf access and community feel. Torrevieja wins on proximity to the beach (Quesada is 10 minutes inland), variety of shopping and lower entry prices. Quesada for a quieter family/golf lifestyle; Torrevieja for budget and seafront living.
