This completed apartment is located in La Florida, a residential district within the urban fabric of Alicante city on the Costa Blanca. The property offers 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms across 85 m² of living space, built in 1970 (indicative) and now available at €265,000. The setting is urban with amenities within walking distance: a supermarket at approximately 224 metres, a pharmacy at 186 metres, and a dense concentration of restaurants, cafés and banks within a two-kilometre radius. The nearest beaches, including Platja de Sant Gabriel at 1.7 km, are reachable by bicycle or short car journey, giving the property a city-base character with coastal access rather than a frontline seaside position.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
La Florida sits inland of Alicante's coastal strip at roughly 189 metres above sea level. The neighbourhood functions as part of the city's continuous urban area, with a supermarket 224 metres away and a hospital 3.2 km distant. Platja de Sant Gabriel lies 1.7 km away as a straight-line figure. Ten public transport stops serve the area, so daily errands do not depend on car ownership.
The apartment suits a household needing two bedrooms and two full bathrooms within a moderate footprint of 85 m². The 20 m² plot figure indicates a terraced or balcony space rather than a private garden, meaning outdoor living is compact. The urban setting supports year-round residence, with 59 restaurants and 59 cafés within two kilometres covering most daily and social needs.
The building dates from 1970 (indicative) and the construction status is listed as completed. Buyers should expect a mature building rather than a new development: no developer guarantees apply, and renovation history, installation condition and community financials require verification during due diligence. No phasing or delivery schedule is relevant as the property is ready for transfer.
The property does not offer a private garden, private pool, sea views or underfloor elements typical of new-build stock. With 85 m², the layout is compact rather than spacious. The location is not frontline beach; the nearest sand is 1.7 km away. Airport distances listed in the dataset are large and inconsistent with Alicante-Elche airport's actual proximity, so travel-time assumptions should be verified independently.

This property matches several recognisable situations. A buyer relocating to Alicante city who wants to avoid car dependence for daily errands would find the walkable supermarket, pharmacy and café density directly relevant. A household needing two bathrooms, for example, a couple who regularly host guests, or two sharers, benefits from a layout that is rare in 85 m² apartments. Retirees seeking year-round habitation rather than a seasonal bolt-hole fit the profile, since services remain open through winter and medical infrastructure lies 3.2 km away. Investors considering a rental product in a permanent neighbourhood rather than a tourist zone may find the location relevant, though returns should be assessed against the €3,100/m² entry price. The property suits buyers who prioritise urban convenience over sea views, who accept a 1970 building with the verification work that entails, and who see a terrace of around 20 m² as sufficient outdoor space. It is less suited to buyers wanting a private garden, direct beach access, or modern energy performance without renovation investment.
As a 1970 building, the structural and installation baseline predates current standards, and interior finish levels in such properties depend almost entirely on what successive owners have renovated. No developer specification applies. Buyers should verify the electrical installation, plumbing, windows and insulation individually, as these elements vary unit by unit in buildings of this age and drive both comfort and running costs. The apartment includes two bathrooms, which typically indicates at least one later refurbishment, since 1970s layouts often carried a single bathroom. Community areas and the building envelope, roof, façade, lift if present, are managed by the community of owners, and reviewing the community's meeting minutes and reserve funds is standard practice for buildings of this vintage. Energy performance documentation is unlikely to carry a current certificate grade comparable to new build; requesting the existing energy certificate during due diligence gives a factual baseline. No garage, storage room or pool is listed in the structured data, so parking arrangements and any communal facilities should be confirmed directly. In short, finish quality here is a unit-specific question, not a project-level one, and the purchase process should treat a technical survey as a core step.
The asking price is €265,000 for a completed, ready-to-occupy apartment with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms over 85 m², which works out to roughly €3,100 per square metre. Compared with nearby listings in the dataset, apartments in Torrevieja from €160,000 and €169,000, and El Raso from €227,000, this property sits at the upper end, a position generally explained by its Alicante city address and the second bathroom, which is uncommon at this floor area. As a resale from 1970, the price likely reflects location and layout rather than new-build specifications. Availability is immediate given the completed status.
Daily life in La Florida follows an urban rhythm. The supermarket sits within a two-minute walk and the pharmacy is closer still, so routine shopping is a pedestrian activity rather than a weekly car trip. The neighbourhood sits at about 189 metres elevation, which means a gentle but real climb or descent when heading toward the coast on foot or by bicycle; most residents use a car, bus or bicycle for the 1.7 km trip to Platja de Sant Gabriel. Within a two-kilometre radius, the dataset counts 59 restaurants, 59 cafés, 44 banks, 29 pharmacies, 5 schools and a park, which indicates a consolidated, service-dense neighbourhood rather than a resort zone. Sports infrastructure is notably close: Campo de Petanca Florida Sur at 300 metres, a municipal pool at 500 metres and the Pavelló Municipal Florida-Babel at 600 metres. Public transport is limited to one line with ten stops, sufficient for local circulation but less extensive than Alicante's central network. The climate supports outdoor use of the terrace for most of the year, with an average annual temperature of 20.3°C and roughly 4,083 sunshine hours annually. Out of season, the neighbourhood retains its permanent population, so cafés and services continue operating through winter, a distinction from purely seasonal resort areas. Evenings can involve walks within the neighbourhood or short trips to the Marina Alicante area 2.6 km away.
The neighbourhood's practical strength is density of services: pharmacy 186 m, supermarket 224 m, and 44 banks within two kilometres alongside the restaurants and cafés already noted. Five schools within the radius make the area viable for families, though school places are allocated through the municipal system. Hospital access at 3.2 km is a short drive. The terrain rises to about 189 metres, which affects walking routes toward the sea; the gradient is manageable but worth testing on foot before purchase. Public transport runs on a single line with ten stops, usable for local trips, while Alicante's larger network connects from the city side. Sports facilities are a distinguishing feature of the immediate area, petanca, a municipal swimming pool and a sports pavilion all within 600 metres, which supports an active daily routine without membership fees at private clubs. EV charging points appear at 994 m, 2.2 km and 3.7 km, so electric-vehicle owners have options nearby, though not in-building.
The map shows the property within Alicante's urban grid, with the supermarket and pharmacy immediately adjacent and the coastline beginning roughly 1.7 km to the south-east. Marina Alicante and the nearest beaches fall within the inner circle, while the golf courses lie to the north-west. The layout visualises the property's character: embedded in the city, with the sea a short hop away.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
La Florida positions this property inside Alicante city itself rather than in the satellite resort towns of the southern Costa Blanca. That is the key regional distinction: comparable Torrevieja and El Raso listings trade city integration for lower prices, whereas this address offers walkable urban services, hospital proximity and year-round neighbourhood life at a higher per-square-metre cost. The beaches are a short drive rather than a walk away, and golf requires onward travel, but Alicante's centre, marina and transport hubs sit within a 3-4 km radius, which none of the comparison locations can match.
Beaches: Platja de Sant Gabriel 1.7 km, Cala El Palmeral 2.6 km, Cala de Agua Amarga 3.4 km, all straight-line distances reachable within a 5-10 minute drive. Marina Alicante lies 2.6 km away for maritime leisure. Golf requires a car: Club de Golf El Plantío is the closest at 4.5 km, with Bonalba at 13 km and Alenda at 14 km. The hospital sits 3.2 km from the property. Airport distances in the dataset are inconsistent, Alicante-Elche airport is in practice roughly 10-15 km from this district by road, so flight connectivity should be confirmed through route planning rather than the listed figures. Overall, the location functions best with a car for coastal and leisure trips while remaining walkable for daily needs.

The dataset records an average annual temperature of 20.3°C with a range of 13-25°C, consistent with Alicante's mild winters and warm but moderated summers. Sunshine hours total approximately 4,083 per year, among the higher figures for coastal Spain, which extends outdoor use of the terrace across most months. The swimming season is recorded at six months with sea temperatures at or above 20°C, concentrating beach activity roughly from late May to early November. The property sits at 189 metres elevation, a factor that adds slope to walks toward the coast but also gives the district elevation above the immediate coastal humidity and tourist pressure. No immediate natural park is listed within the dataset; the coastal coves and urban parkland form the main green recreation.

Three coastal points sit within 3.4 km: Platja de Sant Gabriel (1.7 km), Cala El Palmeral (2.6 km) and Cala de Agua Amarga (3.4 km). Sant Gabriel is a long sandy beach backed by dune vegetation, while the two calas offer smaller, rockier bathing spots. Blue Flag status for specific beaches should be verified for the current season, as designations are reviewed annually. Marina Alicante (2.6 km) and Club Náutico Costablanca (6.7 km) cover sailing and waterfront dining. Golfers have three courses within a 14 km radius, starting with El Plantío at 4.5 km. On the sporting side, the neighbourhood's own infrastructure, petanca club, municipal pool and pavilion, all within 600 metres, is unusually close for a city district and gives daily recreation a local, low-cost character.

Within the dataset's comparison set, this La Florida apartment occupies a different market segment from its three listed comparables. APARTMENTS PALANGRE BEACH in Torrevieja (from €160,000) and EDIFICIO SUN & CENTER in Torrevieja (from €169,000) represent the lower-priced resort-town segment roughly 40-50 km south, where buyers gain proximity to Torrevieja's beaches and salt-lagoon setting but accept a seasonal tourist economy and thinner year-round urban services. OASIS LAGUNA 2 in Urbanización El Raso (from €227,000) sits in a residential inland development near Guardamar, quieter and more residential than Torrevieja but still dependent on cars for most errands. At €265,000, roughly €3,100 per square metre, this Alicante property commands a premium of 18-65% over those alternatives. What the premium buys is city integration: La Florida sits within Alicante's continuous urban fabric, with a supermarket at 224 metres, a hospital 3.2 km away, five schools within two kilometres, and a bus line with ten stops. None of the comparison locations combines those factors. The trade-off is coastal character. The beach is a 1.7 km drive or cycle ride rather than a stroll, there are no sea views, golf starts at 4.5 km, and the 1970 construction means the building stock is older than the new-build comparables. For buyers weighing Alicante city against the southern Costa Blanca, the decision effectively comes down to year-round urban living and services versus newer construction and lower entry cost in a resort economy. Buyers intending full-time residence or winter occupation generally find the city address more functional; buyers focused on holiday use and rental yield in tourist zones often find the southern options better aligned. Both cases should be assessed with current community fees, renovation history and rental data, none of which are contained in the structured dataset.
