Last updated: 20 October 2026
About San Federico 5
A family home with its own pool, within walking distance of the sea and inside Málaga's city limits: that is a scarce offer. San Federico 5 is building ten of them in Pedregalejo, the old fishing and beach neighbourhood east of the centre. Our data lists two townhouses: a 3-bedroom home for €1,570,000 and a 4-bedroom one for €1,850,000.
The houses are spread over two or three floors, and some have a basement you can use as a garage, storage or hobby room. Downstairs is the living area with open-plan kitchen, which opens onto a terrace with its own pool. Upstairs are the bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. In our data, the 3-bedroom home is the largest, with 315 m² built and a 38 m² terrace. The 4-bedroom one has 253 m² built, but 152 m² of terrace and a solarium. Both have 4 bathrooms and 2 parking spaces.
There are no communal facilities such as a shared pool or gym: you are buying a house, not a resort apartment. If you want extra comfort, according to the project information you can have a private lift installed. Both homes have energy rating A. The development is under construction with no show home; completion is planned for December 2027.
Amenities
- Private pool with every home
- Sea views
- 2 parking spaces per home

San Federico 5 in figures
In Málaga, San Federico 5 at €6,148 per m² is practically on the median of the 9 new developments we track (€6,228, 1% lower). Compared with resale homes in Málaga (€3,969 per m², idealista, September 2026), that is 55% more, but that citywide average is mostly made up of apartments. Here you are buying a house with a pool by the sea. For the €1,570,000 home you pay around €1,774,240 all in, with €157,000 VAT, €18,840 stamp duty, €9,400 notary and €19,000 lawyer. The fourth bedroom costs €280,000 more, although you also get a 152 m² terrace. Completion is 14 months away, against a median of 5 months in Málaga.

Location
Pedregalejo is one of Málaga's best-loved neighbourhoods for anyone who wants to live by the sea without the tourist crowds. The promenade with fish restaurants and beach bars, the small beaches between breakwaters and the low-rise buildings give it a village feel, while the centre is close by. The development lies inland within the neighbourhood, at around 38 metres above sea level, which explains the sea views. Neighbouring El Palo has a similar character.
You can do a lot on foot here. Pedregalejo beach is a 12-minute walk away, an Aldi 14. San Francisco de Asís hospital is 12 minutes on foot. The British School of Málaga is 7 minutes away by car. Málaga city centre is a 12-minute drive, the airport 26.

Sun, light and views
Here the sun rises at 6:58 on 21 June and sets at 21:39, giving 14.7 hours of daylight. On 21 December you still have 9.6 hours, with the midday sun at 30° above the horizon. San Federico 5 sits at around 38 metres above sea level.
Both homes in our data have sea views. We expect the widest view from the solarium of the 4-bedroom home; for each home we check the height and what stands in front. Note: in a row of townhouses, the position in the row partly determines how much sun the pool gets.
Homes and finishes
The finishes include Porcelanosa materials, among others. There is ducted central air conditioning, hot water via aerothermal energy and home automation to control lighting and climate. According to the project information, solar panels should save up to 60 per cent on energy; we treat that figure with due caution. We request the technical specifications, check whether the private lift is priced as an option and find out which homes have a basement.
Payment schedule
As with most new builds on the Costa del Sol, you pay in instalments: a reservation deposit, a portion on signing the purchase contract and during construction, and the balance at the deed signing. Every payment before completion must be covered by a bank guarantee. We will send you the exact payment schedule for San Federico 5 through Privé.

Who is San Federico 5 right for?
San Federico 5 suits families or buyers who want to live in Málaga permanently or for long periods, with their own house, a pool and the city close at hand. If you often have family to stay, the en-suite bathrooms are a plus. Anyone who prefers a quiet neighbourhood with its own character to a resort will feel at home here. Less suitable for those looking for a garden, expecting facilities such as a shared pool or gym, or wanting a ready-to-move-into home.
Why buy through Imagine Marbella?
With us you pay exactly the same price as buying direct from the developer. Our fee is paid by the seller, not by you. What you get on top is what makes the difference.
- Independent. We are not tied to any development. We compare the entire market and tell you honestly when a project is not right for you.
- Stronger at the negotiating table. Whenever there is room to negotiate, on price, payment schedule, finishes or a parking space, we know the market, the sales figures and the developers. We defend your interests; the seller defends theirs.
- Free extra services. We check licences, bank guarantees and specifications, provide legal support in your own language and plan viewings around your travel dates.
- Beyond the handover. We follow the construction, the handover and the after-sales with you, so you are never on your own.
Off market: what you will not find online
Not every property on the Costa del Sol ends up on a website.
Owners who want to sell discreetly, a last penthouse that has not yet been released, a villa that only comes onto the market when the right buyer appears: part of the market changes hands without a single advert. Already know the market and looking for something you cannot find online? Tell us as precisely as possible what you are looking for. If it exists, we will find it for you.
