The contemporary-arts quarter — newer buildings, post-2010 Málaga.
Soho is the band between Centro Histórico and the river that the city repositioned over the last decade as its contemporary arts quarter — street art, the Centro de Arte Contemporáneo, design hotels, restaurants opening into side streets. Property stock here is more recent and more varied than the old town, with newer apartment buildings sitting alongside character older blocks. Same Málaga moratorium constraint as Centro for new short-term lets; for residence and long-stay buyers, Soho offers better-quality stock, fewer tourist crowds, and the same walking-distance access to everything.
Design-aware second-home buyers, professionals relocating, residence buyers preferring newer-build over historic-building character, mid-budget investors.
Same Málaga moratorium applies — new VUT licences are not being issued in the municipality during the moratorium. For long-stay rental or residence, the regulatory situation is straightforward. Newer buildings here are more likely to have voted on short-term rental at the comunidad — we read the minutes pre-offer.
Long-stay rental performs reliably — the area's walking lifestyle and quieter character suit one-to-six-month tenants better than weekly turnover.
