Market Overview

The Carolinas Bajas rental market is characterized by moderate pricing and a diverse inventory, with 51 active listings ranging from €500 to €1,800 per month. The average rental price stands at €1,016, with a median of €975, indicating a relatively balanced market without significant skew toward luxury or budget segments. Most properties are two-bedroom units (39% of inventory), with a healthy mix of studios/1BR (20%) and larger family apartments. The average unit size is 77.5 sqm, translating to an average price per sqm of €14.45. Amenities such as air conditioning are prevalent (78.4%), but parking is scarce (5.9%). Only 5.9% of listings are considered highly desirable, suggesting limited supply of premium units. The high delisted count (91) relative to active listings may indicate brisk absorption or frequent turnover. Investors can expect stable yields in line with Alicante's urban rental norms, with best-in-class properties achieving above-average returns due to scarcity and amenity differentials.

Investment Thesis

Carolinas Bajas is best suited for long-term rental strategies targeting working professionals and small families, given the dominance of 2-3 bedroom units and moderate pricing. The area’s stable demand, high absorption, and limited premium inventory favor buy-and-hold investors seeking steady cash flow over speculative flips. Holiday rental potential is limited by the neighborhood profile and lack of tourist-centric amenities. Investors should focus on well-located, amenity-rich units (especially those with air conditioning and rare features like parking or penthouse terraces) to maximize occupancy and rental premiums.
