This townhouse is located in Churriana, a district of Málaga roughly nine kilometres from the city centre and about two kilometres from Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport. The property offers 175 m² of living space arranged over three floors plus a rooftop solarium, with five bedrooms and two bathrooms. Built in 1993, the house is key-ready but in its original condition, which means a renovation budget should be factored in. The asking price is fixed at €424,995. The surrounding neighbourhood is urban with shops, schools and bus routes within walking distance, and the coast lies roughly three kilometres away as the crow flies.
Set against the comparable new-build projects listed, this townhouse plays a different game. Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts at €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas at €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona at €269,000, all lower entry points, but all offering smaller, standardised units in resort-style developments along the eastern and western Costa del Sol. At €424,995 fixed, this Churriana property costs more upfront yet delivers 175 m² of living space, five bedrooms, a private garage, a rooftop solarium and a layout with genuinely independent ground-floor accommodation, attributes rarely found in new-build apartments at any price point. The trade-off is condition. New-build comparables arrive finished, warrantied and energy-efficient; this house dates from 1993 and requires modernisation, so the total cost of ownership includes a renovation budget on top of the purchase price. Buyers comparing the two routes should price that works programme realistically before judging value. Location also differs fundamentally. Torre del Mar, Mijas and Estepona are coastal or near-coast resort towns geared to holiday and second-home demand. Churriana is a year-round Málaga district with 489 annual housing transactions, full schooling, health provision and 35 public transport lines, a relocation location rather than a leisure one. Its defining asset is airport proximity at 1.9 kilometres straight-line, unmatched by any of the comparables, though it comes with the aircraft activity that implies. For buyers weighing urban Málaga living against the resort coast, this property represents the city camp: larger space, established infrastructure and shorter transfers, in exchange for renovation effort and a non-resort setting.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The house stands in an urban part of Churriana, District 8 of Málaga, with daily amenities on foot: a supermarket at 109 metres and a pharmacy at 289 metres. The airport sits 1.9 kilometres away as the crow flies, and the nearest beaches are around 3.3 to 3.4 kilometres distant. Málaga city centre lies nine kilometres away. A car is useful but not essential for every trip, given 35 public transport lines and 50 stops in the area.
With five bedrooms spread across three levels, the layout suits larger households or buyers seeking flexible space, for example a ground-floor unit with independent street access that could serve guests or relatives. Storage is available in several forms, including a trastero, under stair cupboards and a utility area. A private single garage and a rooftop solarium with panoramic views add practical and outdoor living space to a plot that otherwise lacks a garden.
This is an existing home completed in 1993, not a new-build project. Construction is finished and the property is key-ready, so there is no waiting period for delivery. However, the condition is recorded as fair with renovation required, and interiors, kitchen and bathrooms reflect their original state. Air conditioning is pre-installed. Buyers should treat this as a purchase plus modernisation rather than a move-in-ready acquisition without works.
The property does not offer a swimming pool, a garden or a communal resort-style facility; the only outdoor space consists of terraces and the solarium. The condition is fair and renovation is required, which means additional investment beyond the asking price. Built in 1993, the house predates current new-build standards. There is a single private garage rather than multiple parking spaces. Distances to the beach are approximately 3.3 kilometres straight-line, so this is not a beachfront location.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A large or multigenerational family needing five bedrooms within reach of Málaga's schools and services will find the layered layout practical, particularly the independently accessible ground floor with its own bathroom. Buyers planning a renovation project can treat the fixed asking price as a base and design the modernisation to their own specification, since the structure is sound but interiors are dated. It also suits buyers who prioritise proximity to the airport, at 1.9 kilometres straight-line, this is one of the closest residential positions to Málaga-Costa del Sol, for example frequent flyers or owners of a second home who want short transfer times. Households that rely on public transport or prefer walking to daily amenities benefit from the supermarket, pharmacy and bus lines in the immediate vicinity. It fits less well for buyers seeking a pool, a garden or a gated resort environment; the outdoor space here is terraces and a solarium. Nor does it suit those wanting a turnkey home without works, given the fair condition and the renovation requirement. Buyers sensitive to aircraft noise should visit at different times of day, as the airport is a defining feature of this district.
The house was completed in 1993 and is presented in its original condition, described as fair with renovation required. Practically, this means the construction is established and settled, but kitchens, bathrooms, flooring and fittings reflect a three-decade-old standard. The listing notes an ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower on the ground floor, a guest WC on the first floor and a full family bathroom on the second, giving three wet areas in total across the house. Air conditioning is pre-installed, so ducting or provision exists, but the units themselves and their efficiency will need verification during a technical inspection. The kitchen is fitted with wall and base units but is an independent room rather than an open-plan layout; buyers wanting a modern kitchen-diner would need to alter the configuration, subject to the building's structure and any community rules. Storage is a genuine strength: a trastero at the entrance, under-stair storage, a storage and utility area off the rear terrace and shelving visible in the property images. The private single garage is accessed through double doors. The rooftop solarium, reached by internal stairs, is the main outdoor asset, with panoramic views in all directions. Because the property predates current building regulations, buyers should commission an independent survey covering electrical wiring, plumbing, damp and structural condition before committing. WiFi is installed, and the covered terrace and pergola provide shaded outdoor space during the warmer months.
The asking price is fixed at €424,995 for this existing townhouse; it is not a from-price and there is no unit variation within a price list, as would be the case with a new-build development. At 175 m² of living space across three floors plus terraces and a solarium, the price per square metre sits around €2,430 before any renovation works. Buyers should budget separately for modernisation, since the property is in its original 1993 condition with renovation required. The house is key-ready and available for purchase directly, with no delivery waiting time. Comparable new-build projects elsewhere on the coast start lower but offer smaller units without this property's central Churriana location.
Daily life around this townhouse revolves around a functioning, established neighbourhood rather than a resort enclave. The supermarket is barely a minute's walk away and a pharmacy is within 300 metres, so routine errands do not require a car. Schools are well represented, with fifteen primary schools and five secondary schools in the wider area, and a health centre is listed among local services, with a hospital 2.4 kilometres away as the crow flies. The house itself works in layers. The ground floor, with its own street access, two bedrooms and an ensuite bathroom, can function semi-independently, which suits multigenerational families or households wanting a separate zone for guests. The first floor holds the main living area: an L-shaped lounge and dining room with a fireplace, an independent kitchen and a guest WC, opening onto a front patio. The second floor concentrates the sleeping quarters, with a large master bedroom, two further bedrooms and a full family bathroom. Stairs continue to a rooftop solarium with 360° views towards the sea, the mountains and the airport. The rhythm of the area is urban and year-round. Bars, restaurants and cafés within two kilometres provide everyday social infrastructure, and the neighbourhood does not empty outside the holiday season. For leisure, sports centres such as Vals Sport Churriana lie within a kilometre, and golf courses start at three kilometres. The south-east orientation gives the terraces morning and midday sun.
Churriana functions as a residential district of Málaga rather than a tourist zone, which shapes daily life. The immediate street network connects to motorway access, and the listing highlights bus routes, bars, restaurants, a library and a health centre within the neighbourhood. With 35 public transport lines and 50 stops recorded locally, journeys towards Málaga centre, nine kilometres away, and towards Torremolinos on the coast are feasible without a car, although a vehicle remains convenient for shopping trips, the hospital at 2.4 kilometres or beach days. The area's amenities within two kilometres include nine restaurants, seven pharmacies, six banks and five cafés, which indicates an established commercial fabric rather than a seasonal one. Education provision is substantial: fifteen primary schools and five secondary schools serve the district, relevant for permanent relocation. Healthcare is covered by a local health centre plus the hospital noted above. For exercise and leisure, Vals Sport Churriana lies 300 metres away, a petanque club at 900 metres and Pistas de Las Pedrizas at one kilometre. The Mirador de Churriana viewpoint, 800 metres from the house, offers a local walking destination. An EV charging point sits 562 metres away, with a Tesla Supercharger at 2.4 kilometres. The district hosts Málaga Airport, which brings both convenience and aircraft noise; the rooftop views towards the airport are a constant reminder of this proximity.
The map shows the house in the heart of Churriana, with the airport immediately to the north-east and the beaches of Torremolinos a short distance south. Málaga city centre lies nine kilometres up the coast. Distances shown are straight-line measurements.

Within the Costa del Sol, this property occupies an unusual position: an urban Málaga district immediately adjacent to the airport, between the provincial capital and the Torremolinos-Benalmádena coastal strip. Málaga city, with 579,076 inhabitants, is nine kilometres away, giving access to a major cultural and commercial centre. Marbella lies 38 kilometres west and Granada 98 kilometres east. This is a working, residential district, Churriana records 489 housing transactions per year, rather than an expat resort enclave, which distinguishes it from new-build developments further along the coast in Estepona, Mijas or Torre del Mar.
Distances below are straight-line, as the crow flies; road distances and travel times will be longer. The nearest beaches are Playa Campo de Golf at 3.3 kilometres and Playa de los Álamos at 3.4 kilometres, with Playa de Guadalmar at 4.4 kilometres. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport lies 1.9 kilometres away, one of the shortest airport distances on the entire coast. Train stations at Aeropuerto (2.2 km), La Colina (2.5 km) and Los Álamos (2.6 km) provide rail connections along the Cercanías coastal line towards Málaga and Fuengirola. Golf courses begin with Campo de Golf Miguel Ángel Jiménez at 3.0 kilometres and Club de Golf Málaga Parador at 3.2 kilometres. The supermarket at 109 metres and pharmacy at 289 metres make daily provisioning a walking matter. Marbella lies 38 kilometres away and Granada 98 kilometres, both feasible day-trip distances by car.

The location sits at 58 metres above sea level with a gradient to the beach of only 1.6 per cent, meaning the terrain is essentially flat, relevant for cycling and walking towards the coast. The climate is Mediterranean: average monthly temperatures range from 12°C in the coolest month to 27°C in the warmest, with an annual average of 18.5°C. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts around four months, roughly June through September or early October. The rooftop solarium at roughly 58 metres of elevation combined with the south-east orientation maximises morning sun, and the panoramic views extend to the mountains inland, including Pico Palomas at 3.4 kilometres and the seabird observatory at 4.6 kilometres for those who enjoy coastal nature. Rainfall concentrates in the cooler months, leaving long dry summers, the classic Costa del Sol pattern that supports outdoor living on the terraces for most of the year.

The coast near Churriana is close but not on the doorstep: the nearest sand is at Playa Campo de Golf and Playa de los Álamos, both around 3.3 to 3.4 kilometres straight-line. These beaches sit on the Torremolinos side of the Guadalhorce estuary, backed by the chiringuitos and promenade typical of the western Málaga coastline. Playa de Guadalmar at 4.4 kilometres lies next to the Guadalhorce river mouth nature area, where the Observatorio de Aves Marinas at 4.6 kilometres marks a recognised spot for seabird watching. Golf is a strong feature of this location. Campo de Golf Miguel Ángel Jiménez lies 3.0 kilometres away, Club de Golf Málaga Parador at 3.2 kilometres, and Club de Golf de Guadalhorce at 4.6 kilometres, giving three 18-hole options within a short drive. Golf Benalmadena Pitch & Putt sits 8.1 kilometres away for shorter practice rounds. For general sport, Vals Sport Churriana is a 300-metre walk. The marina of Real Club Mediterráneo in Málaga port lies 9.8 kilometres away for sailing interests. With a four-month swimming season and year-round golf weather, recreation here is not confined to summer.
