Is Ciudad Quesada the Right Place for Your Forever Home in Spain?

f you’re an Irish buyer looking for a balance between international comfort and Mediterranean charm, look no further than Ciudad Quesada. Located just 10 minutes from Guardamar’s sandy beaches, this urbanisation is one of the most sought-after areas for Irish expats — and for good reason.

1. Homes for Every Taste and Budget

Ciudad Quesada offers a wide range of properties: modern villas with infinity pools, traditional Spanish bungalows, and low-maintenance apartments in gated communities.
Prices typically range from €130,000 for apartments to €500,000+ for luxury villas, depending on views, plot size and extras.

2. La Marquesa Golf and Beyond

One of the highlights of Quesada is the La Marquesa Golf course, ideal for hobby players and seasoned golfers alike. Even if you don’t play, the green spaces, clubhouses and restaurants give the area a tranquil, open feel.

And thanks to the gentle elevation of the area, many homes come with sea or salt lake views, adding even more value and charm.

3. Comfort, Convenience and Community

Quesada is packed with supermarkets, pharmacies, English-speaking doctors, banks and international schools — all within walking or short driving distance.
The Irish expat community is strong and welcoming, with plenty of activities, social clubs, and even St. Patrick’s Day celebrations.
