Cometa III — predominantly low-rise residential area

The area is mainly characterised by low-density residential development: detached, grouped, semi-detached and terraced houses. It is more a residential neighbourhood than an area of dense urban development; the specific type and conditions depend on the street and house selected.

The elevation difference within the area reaches approximately 87 metres

Elevations within Cometa III range from 29 to 116 metres, so the area varies noticeably in terms of terrain. When choosing a particular property, the position of the plot and street should be considered separately: the general description of the area does not show how convenient the specific route or access road will be.

The cove can be reached from the area, but the distance was measured in a straight line

Cala Les Bassetes is approximately 650 metres in a straight line from the boundary of Cometa III. This gives the area proximity to an official cove; however, the actual road distance or walking route cannot be determined from these data.

Green spaces are confirmed, but everyday infrastructure should be checked by address

Within a 500-metre radius, 12 public parks, recreational areas or protected green spaces have been confirmed. One of the area’s characteristic places is Parc de Ermita de Sant Joan de la Cometa; the nearest confirmed green space is located approximately at the boundary of the area under consideration.

Within the same radius, one stop or platform has been confirmed — Parque de la Vallesa, approximately 300 metres away — as well as three publicly accessible parking facilities, the nearest approximately 20 metres away. No confirmed everyday-infrastructure facilities were found within a 500-metre radius in the dataset reviewed, but this does not prove that they are actually absent. For permanent residence, it is therefore important to check shops, services and actual transport routes for the specific address.

Cometa III may suit those considering residential development near a cove and valuing nearby green spaces. At the same time, the area should not be assessed solely by its distance from the centre or the nearest stop: the noticeable terrain, the limited number of confirmed transport points and the need to check everyday facilities separately make the choice of a particular street especially important.

The key features of Cometa III are the combination of low-rise residential development, proximity to Cala Les Bassetes and noticeably varying terrain. Before renting or buying, it is worth checking not only the house itself but also the uphill route to it, the actual route to the places you need, access to the stop and the availability of infrastructure around the chosen address.
