What is a Studio Apartment in Spain?
Real estate in Spain is chosen by those who want to vacation without relying on rental housing searches. A small apartment can also be a good investment option, as property prices per square meter are steadily increasing. Studios in Spain offer quick returns on investment, as there is consistent demand for small-sized rental properties.
What is a Studio Apartment?
In general terms, a studio apartment is a small living space with a single room. The area is designed to serve multiple functions simultaneously, acting as a kitchen, dining area, and living room. A traditional corridor is absent in a studio, but the layout allows for zonal distribution, enabling you to divide the space efficiently.
Compact housing is ideal for one or two people for temporary or permanent residence. The affordable price of such apartments makes studios highly popular among foreigners and locals alike.
Prices for Studio Apartments in Spain
Compact real estate is one of the most affordable housing options. The cost of studio apartments in Spain depends on several factors:
- Gated community or open access
- Proximity to the coastline
- Square footage
- Local infrastructure
- Age of the building
- Prestige of the region
- Availability and quality of renovation
When choosing a property, it’s essential to consider all these factors together. For rental income purposes, it’s better to focus on studios close to the sea. For personal residence, factors like infrastructure, availability of shops, and dining options should be prioritized.

Buying Process
Spanish legislation allows foreigners (both residents and non-residents) to purchase real estate. Buying property requires opening a bank account, which will later also facilitate tax and utility payments.
After selecting a property, you will need to obtain an NIE (Número de Identidad de Extranjero), which is an identification number for foreigners. This can be arranged at a Spanish diplomatic mission in your home country. If needed, we can also assist with mortgage arrangements.
Steps for purchasing a studio apartment:
- Viewing and selecting the studio.
- Opening a Spanish bank account.
- Property inspection and reservation.
- Signing a preliminary contract with the owner.
- Finalizing the transaction with a notary and payment.
- Transferring ownership rights to the buyer.
Our legal support team will guide and assist you throughout every stage of the process. Our services are free for the buyer, as the commission is covered by the seller.
Why Should You Buy a Studio Apartment in Spain?
In addition to convenience and return on investment, a studio apartment can serve as a first step toward permanent residency in the European Union.
Spanish law allows foreigners to apply for a residence permit if they invest at least €500,000 in property. While standard studio apartments are typically more affordable, any property ownership in Spain grants the right to obtain a Schengen visa, allowing you to stay in the country (or any Schengen Area country) for up to 90 days every six months.
