Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is positioned within the historic centre of Alicante, specifically in the Casco Histórico and Santa Cruz areas. It is located at a short walking distance from the Postiguet Beach and the Marina Alicante. The terrain is flat, with a gentle slope of 1.5% towards the coastline. The immediate vicinity is characterised by high-density residential and commercial usage.
This property addresses the requirement for a secondary residence or a permanent urban dwelling with low maintenance needs. The presence of a storage room adds utility for compact living. The air conditioning system provides climate control, addressing the thermal comfort needs typical of the Mediterranean climate. The balcony offers outdoor space without the upkeep of a private garden.
The building was completed in 2008, categorising it as existing residential stock rather than new development. The structure includes a lift, facilitating vertical circulation. The construction methods and interior layout reflect the building standards of the late 2000s. The property is delivered in a ready-to-occupy condition, with an indicative completion date already passed.
The property does not offer a private garden or communal swimming pool facilities. With a single bathroom and 78 square metres of living space, the layout is compact. Parking is optional and not included in the base price, requiring separate negotiation. The central location may result in exposure to urban noise levels typical of a busy city centre.
This property suits individuals or couples seeking a lock-up-and-leave solution in a major city. It is appropriate for buyers who prioritise cultural immersion and walkability over expansive private leisure facilities. The configuration fits the needs of remote workers requiring reliable internet and transport links, or investors targeting the short-term rental market, pending licence verification. It is less suitable for those requiring large family spaces or a secluded, quiet environment.
The apartment features a standard finish consistent with 2008 construction standards. Materials are selected for durability, with functional kitchen cabinetry and tiled flooring appropriate for the climate. The installation of air conditioning with heating and cooling capabilities ensures year-round usability. The building structure incorporates double glazing to mitigate urban noise, a necessary feature in this location. Technical installations, such as plumbing and electrical systems, are compliant with regulations from the construction period.
The property is listed at a price of €335,000. This figure represents the cost of the apartment unit excluding taxes and legal fees. An optional garage space is available at an additional cost, impacting the total investment required. When compared to the regional median income, the positioning indicates a premium urban product. The price reflects the specific location advantages of the Casco Histórico over peripheral areas.
Daily life in this location is defined by immediate access to urban amenities and historic surroundings. Residing on the third floor with a lift allows for easy movement to street level, where 261 restaurants and 136 cafés are available within a 2-kilometre radius. The rhythm of the area is influenced by a mix of local residents and tourism, particularly given the proximity to the castle and marina. The flat terrain facilitates walking to essential services such as supermarkets and pharmacies, located within 200 metres. Evenings can be spent on the balcony or walking along the nearby promenades, utilising the extensive public lighting and street infrastructure.
The immediate environment offers a high density of services, including 55 pharmacies and 65 banks within 2 kilometres. The presence of major transport hubs like Luceros and Mercado stations within 500 metres provides rail connections to the wider region. The area is served by 50 public transport lines, reducing dependency on private vehicles. Healthcare is accessible via the Hospital General within 1.5 kilometres, ensuring medical support is readily available.

Compared to the EDIFICIO ESPARTERO 48 project, starting at €234,900, this property commands a premium, likely attributable to its specific location within the historic centre and the inclusion of a balcony. The LOFTS AGUILERA development, priced from €289,900, offers a different product type at a lower entry point, suggesting a more industrial or modern aesthetic. In contrast to the OCEANIC APARTMENTS in Rojales, starting at €475,000, this Alicante unit prioritises city connectivity over resort-style amenities. While the Rojales project offers a gated community environment, this apartment provides immediate access to the cultural and economic infrastructure of a major provincial capital.
