Why Alfaz del Pi
Alfaz del Pi has ~22,000 residents, of whom ~50% are foreign — primarily Norwegian (the largest Norwegian community outside Norway), Dutch, German and British. The Norwegian school (Den Norske Skolen Costa Blanca) is a major demand driver, supporting villa rentals to Nordic professional families.
Stock is dominated by detached villas with gardens (typical 200–350 m² build, 600–1,200 m² plot), priced 15–25% below equivalent Albir / Altea villas because of the inland location.

Risks
Concentrated in Nordic demand — NOK / SEK weakness in 2022–2023 affected rental rates briefly.
Some inland urbanisations have weak public transport — car dependency total.
Older villas often need significant electrical / plumbing reform — budget €50k+ for 1980s stock.
