An investment of ?150,000 will provide couples or small families larger size apartments perfect for starting out in life. Standard apartment sizes are one to three bedrooms. Amenities in most apartment complexes include swimming pools, tennis courts, workout facilities and garden areas.

Another viable Javea property option is what is called ?off plan?. As the name implies, these are properties that have yet to begin construction or are in the early stages of construction. The time table for completion is approximately 18 months. During this time, a property owner can see an initial investment increase an average of 15% by the time the finishing touches are added to the property. This is due in large part to the ability to offset some property costs through the extended time period.
