| What matters | Buyers | Renters |
|---|---|---|
| Priorities | Micro-location choice (street and immediate surroundings), practical access to Puerto Banús (~152 min), value per m² in the current median band (~€3,021/m²) | how often you’ll actually need to drive for essentials, real-world time to Marbella (~149 min), noise, humidity, and winter comfort in the specific street/building |

For renters
