~2,200 EUR/m2 makes Santa Margarita La Línea's premium residential area as of January 2026. Detached villas on plots of 500 to 1,000 m2 define the neighbourhood, offering significantly more space than Centro at a moderate premium. For context, that is still less than a third of what comparable villa properties cost in Marbella or the western Costa del Sol.
The area is popular with Gibraltar workers and expat families who want villa living close to the border. An established international community means English is widely spoken in local shops and restaurants. The neighbourhood has its own amenities, including a selection of shops and dining options, and a strong community feel that sets it apart from the resort-style living in La Alcaidesa.
Santa Margarita suits buyers who need space: families with children, remote workers wanting a home office, or anyone who values a private garden and quiet streets. It sits between the affordability of La Línea and the exclusivity of Sotogrande, offering a middle ground that is increasingly sought after.
