Santa Margarita
Average rent: 400-500/month
Santa Margarita sits in the northern part of La Linea, away from the bustle of the town centre. This is the quiet, family-friendly neighbourhood where you get more space for your money. Newer apartment buildings, wider streets, and plenty of schools and parks make it ideal for families. Supermarkets and daily amenities are all within walking distance. The trade-off is a 10-minute drive to the Gibraltar border, but many residents consider that a fair deal for the peace and quiet.
