The province of Valencia is Spain’s third city plus the Costa de Valencia beaches — an underrated market between pricey Málaga and mass-market Alicante. Buying by the sea or in the city of Valencia itself means entering a growing market with an urban, not just resort, economy: 10 new-builds across 2 locations.
Moderate prices (€/m² €2,620–€4,415) and genuine urban demand — students, tech, the port — deliver steady yields of 4.1–6.5% with no summer slump.

Valencia suits the investor who wants balance: a living city with year-round rental plus beaches within an hour, cheaper than Barcelona and Málaga.
Valencia airport (VLC) is Spain’s eighth-busiest, with direct flights across Europe and a metro straight to the city centre. AVE high-speed trains link Valencia to Madrid in ~1h50, while Cercanías commuter trains reach coastal towns like Gandía.
The region is the Valencian Community, where the standard resale ITP is 10%. New-builds are taxed at 10% VAT (IVA) plus AJD. The rates match the Costa Blanca — budget for them and confirm the figure in the purchase-costs calculator.

Spain is among the safest countries in Europe. Tourist provinces look higher on paper: offenses involving millions of visitors are divided only by the registered population. Most incidents are petty theft in high season; violent crime is rare.

Yield is 4.1–6.5%, but the real point is a working city (Spain’s third) with a port, universities and a tech cluster. The selection holds 10 new-builds from €341,000 to €1,341,000.
There are 10 new-builds from €341,000 to €1,341,000, with €/m² of €2,620–€4,415. That is cheaper than Barcelona and premium Málaga at a comparable quality of life.
The city gives steady long-term letting to students and professionals year-round; the coast (Gandía and its beaches) gives seasonal tourist letting. Both are represented in the selection.
Valencia airport sits a few kilometres from the centre and is linked to the city by metro; direct flights cover Europe’s main cities. The AVE high-speed train reaches Madrid, with good rail links to Barcelona and Alicante as well. For a city that lives on more than tourism, it is a rare mix of accessibility and connectivity.
In the city itself, hardly at all: students, professionals and digital nomads rent year-round, and demand even rises in autumn with the start of the academic year. The province’s coast — Gandía and the beach towns — follows the classic resort calendar with a summer peak, so the letting format should match the specific location.
