Some decisions are made once... and enjoyed for a lifetime.

Imagine driving past the home you're thinking of buying today... ten years from now.

By then, you probably won't remember the color of the flooring.

Or the style of the kitchen.

You may not even remember exactly how much you paid for it.

What you will remember is what your life was like there.

Whether you enjoyed evening walks.

Whether your children could walk safely to school.

Whether grocery shopping was quick and convenient.

Whether going out for a run or playing sports became part of your daily routine.

And whether, every time you unlocked your front door, you felt you had chosen exactly the right place to call home.

Because a house can always be renovated.

But the place you choose to live will shape your everyday life for many years to come.

That is precisely why more and more buyers are turning their attention to Northern Torrevieja, where Aguas Nuevas, Sector 25, and La Hoya have become one of the fastest-growing residential areas on the Costa Blanca.

But...

Which of these areas is the right fit for you?

What you'll discover in this article

✔ What it's really like to live in Aguas Nuevas, Sector 25, and La Hoya.

✔ The key differences between these three areas.

✔ The services and amenities you'll have close to home.

✔ How the local property market has evolved in recent years.

✔ The major projects that will shape this part of Torrevieja in the years ahead.

✔ What property portals usually don't tell you.

Northern Torrevieja is no longer the future. It's the present.

For many years, anyone thinking about buying a home in Torrevieja naturally focused on the town centre or the beachfront areas.

But the city has been growing in another direction for quite some time.

Today, many of the newest residential developments, public investments, and urban expansion projects are taking place in Northern Torrevieja.

Here you'll find three areas that, while each has its own identity, share the same lifestyle philosophy.

Aguas Nuevas, firmly established as one of Torrevieja's most sought-after residential neighbourhoods.

Sector 25, where alongside new residential developments, one of the city's largest planned urban parks is taking shape.

And La Hoya (Sector 20), an expanding residential area that will continue to welcome new homes, public spaces, and local services over the coming years.

Each area has its own character.

Yet they all offer the qualities today's buyers value most:

More peace and quiet.

More green spaces.

More room to enjoy everyday life.

A higher quality of living.

And excellent connections to the rest of the city.

It's no coincidence that families, international buyers, remote workers, and those looking for a second home are increasingly choosing this part of Torrevieja.

Everything You'll Have Close to Home

Everything You'll Have Close to Home

One of the greatest advantages of Northern Torrevieja is that it offers a peaceful residential setting without sacrificing the convenience of everyday amenities.

The area is home to supermarkets such as Mercadona, MAMPER, Lidl, ALDI, and DIA, along with pharmacies, cafés, restaurants, and a wide range of shops that remain open throughout the year.

For families, education is one of the area's strongest assets. Nearby schools include CEIP Virgen del Rosario, CEIP Ciudad del Mar, IES Libertas, and IES Mediterráneo, as well as several other public and private schools within easy reach.

For those who enjoy an active lifestyle, the Torrevieja Municipal Sports City is just minutes away. It is one of the most comprehensive sports complexes in the Valencian Community, featuring an Olympic-size swimming pool, indoor pool, athletics track, tennis courts, padel courts, football pitches, a fully equipped gym, and a wide variety of municipal sports programmes.

Within just a few minutes, you'll also find Parque Aromático, La Mata Beach, Quirónsalud Hospital, as well as Habaneras Shopping Centre and Carrefour, providing an even greater selection of leisure, shopping, healthcare, and everyday services.

Another major advantage is the area's excellent transport connections.

Immediate access to the N-332 provides quick routes to Guardamar del Segura, Ciudad Quesada, Orihuela Costa, and Santa Pola, while the nearby AP-7 motorway makes travelling to Alicante, Murcia, and Alicante–Elche Airport fast and convenient.

All of this makes Northern Torrevieja an exceptionally comfortable place to live year-round, whether you're looking for a permanent residence, a holiday home, or a property investment.

How Has the Property Market Evolved?

The growing popularity of this area is also reflected in its property market.

According to Idealista's historical data for the Nueva Torrevieja–Aguas Nuevas district, the average asking price has risen from approximately €1,294/m² in 2016 to €2,732/m² in 2026—an increase of around 111% over the past decade.

As with any property market statistics, these figures should be interpreted carefully.

They represent asking prices, and the area includes homes of very different ages, sizes, and specifications.

A property built thirty years ago cannot be directly compared with a modern new-build development offering a swimming pool, landscaped communal areas, underground parking, and high energy-efficiency standards.

Nevertheless, the figures highlight one undeniable reality.

More and more people want to live in this part of Torrevieja.

And when an area combines an excellent quality of life, outstanding amenities, new infrastructure, and continued demand from both Spanish and international buyers, it's easy to understand why it continues to attract so much attention.

Why Does Northern Torrevieja Keep Growing?

When you buy a property, you're not simply purchasing four walls.

You're also investing in the neighbourhood where you'll spend the coming years of your life.

That's why it's worth looking beyond the property itself and asking one important question:

What will this area look like in five or ten years?

In the case of Northern Torrevieja, the answer seems increasingly clear.

The city continues to invest in this part of Torrevieja through new green spaces, improved public facilities, and the development of new residential sectors that will expand both housing options and local services.

A Park Designed to Be Lived In—Not Just Admired

One of the area's most ambitious projects is the new 70,000 m² urban park currently under construction in Sector 25, next to Avenida Asociación Víctimas del Terrorismo.

This is far more than simply another green space.

The park has been designed to become a genuine meeting place for residents and families.

It will feature wide pedestrian promenades, children's play areas with zip lines, a road safety education park, calisthenics zones, sports courts, a dedicated dog park with an agility circuit, picnic areas, a café kiosk, fountains, public restrooms, and hundreds of trees alongside thousands of native plants.

Beyond its impressive size, what truly matters is what it represents.

A place where you can go for a walk, exercise outdoors, meet friends, or spend quality time with your children—without ever having to leave your neighbourhood.

Because quality of life isn't built only inside your home.

It's built outside your front door as well.

A Park That Will Also Help Protect the City

Another landmark project set to transform this area is the new Aguas Nuevas Multifunctional Flood Park.

Its purpose goes far beyond creating another green space.

The park has been designed to help manage stormwater during periods of heavy rainfall while simultaneously providing new areas for recreation, sports, and outdoor leisure.

The project will include a skatepark, rain gardens, pedestrian pathways, native landscaping, permeable paving, and new sports and relaxation areas.

It is an excellent example of how modern infrastructure can improve sustainability, increase resilience to extreme weather, and enhance the quality of life for the surrounding community—all at the same time.

La Hoya: Much More Than New Homes

When people talk about La Hoya (Sector 20), they often think only of its new-build developments.

However, the real transformation goes much further.

The Town Council continues to develop the urban planning for this sector, creating a new residential district that will include not only new homes but also additional services, public facilities, and open spaces.

Although many residential developments are marketed separately, the reality is that Aguas Nuevas, Sector 25, and La Hoya form one continuous corridor of residential growth.

Three distinct areas, perfectly connected to one another, sharing many of the same services, transport links, and quality of life that today's homebuyers are looking for.

Could Demand for This Area Continue to Grow?

No one can predict the future of the property market with certainty.

And it would be irresponsible to claim that a home's value will automatically increase simply because new parks or residential developments are being built.

However, one reality is difficult to ignore.

Cities tend to thrive where public investment, modern infrastructure, new green spaces, and growing residential demand come together.

And that is exactly what is happening in this part of Torrevieja.

More services.

More places to enjoy everyday life.

A growing selection of modern homes.

And a city that continues to expand northwards.

What Property Portals Usually Don't Tell You

Many property listings use the names Aguas Nuevas, Sector 25, and La Hoya interchangeably.

In reality, they are not exactly the same.

A property in Aguas Nuevas offers the advantages of a fully established residential neighbourhood.

A home in Sector 25 will be just moments from the new urban park and the latest residential developments.

Meanwhile, buying in La Hoya means becoming part of one of Torrevieja's largest and most exciting areas of future residential expansion.

All three can be excellent choices.

The key is understanding which one best matches the lifestyle you're looking for.

SalyMar's Advice

When you visit a property, spend just as much time exploring the neighbourhood as you do viewing the home itself.

Do your grocery shopping at the nearest supermarket.

Take a walk through the local park.

Visit the beach.

Explore the nearby sports facilities.

And always ask about the projects planned for the surrounding area.

Because while a house can always be renovated...

The place where you build your life will stay with you for many years.

Choosing a House Is Important. Choosing Where to Live Is Even More Important.

As time goes by, you may replace the furniture.

Repaint the walls.

Or renovate the kitchen.

But you'll still wake up every morning in the very same neighbourhood.

That's why we believe buying a home is about far more than finding a beautiful property.

It's about finding a place where you can genuinely picture your future.

And that is probably the best reason to take the time to discover everything Northern Torrevieja has to offer before making one of life's biggest decisions.
