This key-ready penthouse is located in La Florida, a residential area within the Alicante urban region on the Costa Blanca. The property offers 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 62 m² of living space, complemented by a private rooftop terrace of approximately 24 m² with sea views. The home forms part of a gated community with two communal swimming pools, a children's play area and an underground parking space. Built in 1970 and delivered fully finished, it is offered at a fixed asking price of €195,000. The surrounding neighbourhood provides a wide range of everyday amenities within a short radius, including restaurants, pharmacies, banks and schools.
Within its price bracket, this penthouse sits alongside several new-build alternatives in the southern Costa Blanca. In Torrevieja, the Palangre Beach apartments start from €160,000 and Edificio Sun & Center, also key-ready, from €169,000, both undercutting this property's fixed €195,000 asking price. Further inland at Urbanización El Raso, Oasis Laguna 2 Fase II starts from €227,000. The trade-offs are structural rather than simply financial. The Torrevieja options are new builds, which means current building regulations, developer warranties and modern insulation standards, things a 1970 building cannot offer. In return, this La Florida property provides elements the comparables may not: a genuine private rooftop terrace of roughly 24 m² with sea views, two bathrooms for a two-bedroom layout, a fully furnished delivery and an included underground parking space. Location also differs by segment. La Florida benefits from integration into the Alicante urban fabric, a service density of 59 restaurants and 29 pharmacies within 2 km, municipal sports facilities within 600 m and a beach at 1.7 km. Torrevieja and El Raso are more touristic, expatriate-oriented towns further from a major provincial capital. Buyers weighing this property against the new-build options should compare three dimensions: build age and maintenance exposure, outdoor space and views, and the everyday urban context. A 1970 building carries different long-term cost expectations than a 2020s development, while the rooftop terrace and the Alicante address carry their own practical value. Price per square metre, roughly €3,145 on interior area, or about €2,235 if the terrace is included, should be checked against current local sales data before any offer.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
La Florida sits on the southern edge of the Alicante conurbation, a short distance from the coast. Platja de Sant Gabriel lies 1.7 km away as the crow flies, with further coves at 2.6 km and 3.4 km. The area is urban in character, with municipal sports facilities within 600 m and a dense network of shops and services nearby.
The property functions as a compact two-bedroom home with two bathrooms, a practical layout and built-in wardrobes. The rooftop terrace extends the usable outdoor space considerably, and air conditioning is installed. A communal gym, two pools and a play area serve daily recreation needs within the community itself.
This is not a new-build development. The building dates from 1970 and the apartment is key-ready, meaning it can be occupied immediately after purchase. The construction status and completion year are factual indicators; buyers should independently verify the current condition of the building and its systems.
The living area is 62 m², which is modest for a two-bedroom, two-bathroom home. The building's 1970 construction date means the property does not offer modern new-build standards or warranties. No private garden, private pool or lift details are stated in the available data. The area has only one public transport line with ten stops.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A buyer seeking a low-maintenance second home on the Costa Blanca with immediate usability, no construction phase, no waiting period, will find the key-ready status and included furniture relevant. The two-bathroom layout suits couples who regularly host guests, or two adults sharing. Seasonal rental investors may note the sea-view terrace, communal pools and proximity to beaches as factors that typically support rental demand, though rental performance should be assessed independently and any rental plans must comply with local licensing rules. Year-round residents benefit from the density of services: schools, pharmacies, banks and dozens of eateries within 2 km make daily life possible without long drives. Buyers who prioritise outdoor space over interior floor area are a natural match, the terrace is nearly 40% the size of the interior. Conversely, buyers wanting a modern new-build with contemporary insulation standards, a larger interior or a coastal frontline position should weigh this 1970 building and its 62 m² layout carefully. A physical or virtual viewing, and ideally a technical survey of a building of this age, are sensible steps before any commitment.
The apartment is delivered fully furnished, with air conditioning installed for climate control. Interior photographs show fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms, additional storage furniture, and a bathroom with washing-machine connections. The finishes shown are functional and contemporary rather than premium; bathrooms are described as having modern finishes in the listing. The rooftop terrace includes a permanent dining shed structure, which indicates the outdoor space is set up for extended seasonal use. As a 1970 building, the construction standards of the original structure predate current regulations on thermal insulation, acoustic separation and energy efficiency. No data is available on the condition of the roof, windows, electrical installation or plumbing, and buyers of properties of this age commonly commission a technical inspection to establish the state of these systems. The community context, two pools, gated access, a play area and communal gym, is maintained collectively, meaning the monthly community fees are a recurring cost factor that should be verified. The underground garage space is private and included, which is a practical asset in an urban neighbourhood of this density. In short: the finish level is ready-to-move-in, while the underlying building stock belongs to an older generation whose long-term maintenance requirements deserve due diligence.
The property is offered at a fixed asking price of €195,000. This is an existing home, not a new-build project with a price list, so the figure applies to this specific apartment rather than a range of units. For context, comparable new-build apartments in the wider region start at approximately €160,000 in Torrevieja and €227,000 in Urbanización El Raso, though these are different locations, build years and product types. The price includes the underground parking space according to the property listing. Furniture is stated as fully furnished. Availability is immediate given the key-ready status; completion of the purchase depends on the standard Spanish conveyancing timeline.
Daily life in this penthouse revolves around a compact indoor layout paired with an unusually generous outdoor space. The 62 m² interior holds two bedrooms with fitted wardrobes and two bathrooms, one of which includes space for a washing machine, as shown in the property photographs. The 24 m² rooftop terrace functions as an outdoor living room: it carries a dining shed and open views towards the sea, giving residents a private spot for meals, evening sun and the coastal panorama. The community itself is gated, with two swimming pools and a children's play area, so swimming and outdoor play are possible without leaving the complex. A garage space in the underground car park removes the daily search for street parking. The neighbourhood of La Florida is urban and service-rich: the dataset records 59 restaurants, 59 cafés, 29 pharmacies, 44 banks and 5 schools within 2 km. Municipal sports infrastructure sits practically at the doorstep, a petanque court 300 m away, a municipal swimming pool 500 m away and a sports pavilion 600 m away. Beaches are within walking and short driving distance: Platja de Sant Gabriel at 1.7 km as the crow flies, with rocky coves such as Cala El Palmeral and Cala de Agua Amarga slightly further along the coast. With an average annual temperature of 20.3°C and a six-month swimming season, the outdoor-oriented rhythm of the Costa Blanca is available for most of the year.
La Florida is an established residential neighbourhood in the southern Alicante urban fringe, and the recorded amenity data describes a thoroughly urbanised environment. Within 2 km there are 59 restaurants, 59 cafés, 29 pharmacies, 44 banks, 5 schools and a park, a service density that supports car-light daily living for groceries, healthcare and schooling. Sports facilities cluster unusually close: the Campo de Petanca Florida Sur at 300 m, the municipal Florida-Babel swimming pool at 500 m and the Pavelló Municipal Vicente Crespo at 600 m. The coast begins with Platja de Sant Gabriel 1.7 km away as the crow flies; Cala El Palmeral (2.6 km) and Cala de Agua Amarga (3.4 km) add quieter coves. Marina Alicante lies 2.6 km away for boat owners and waterfront walks. Electric-vehicle owners have charging options at 1.0 km (Porsche), 2.2 km and 3.7 km. Public transport exists but is limited, one line with ten stops, so a car remains the practical mode for most regional trips. Road distances will exceed the straight-line figures given here.
The map shows the penthouse's position in La Florida relative to the Alicante coastline. Platja de Sant Gabriel lies 1.7 km away as the crow flies, with marina, sports and golf facilities marked at their straight-line distances. Note that road distances are longer than the crow-fly figures shown.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
La Florida is positioned within the greater Alicante urban area, on the Costa Blanca rather than the Costa del Sol. It functions as a residential neighbourhood with direct access to the services of Alicante city while sitting close to the beaches south of the city centre. The regional comparison data in this dataset references cities such as Cádiz, Algeciras and Jerez de la Frontera, located over 1,000 km away on the Atlantic coast, these indicate the project's position on the opposite end of the Spanish Mediterranean and are not relevant daily reference points. Within its own region, the property competes with Torrevieja and Orihuela Costa developments to the south.
Distances below are straight-line (as the crow flies); actual road distances are longer. The nearest beach, Platja de Sant Gabriel, is 1.7 km away, walkable or a few minutes by car. Additional coves sit at 2.6 km and 3.4 km. Marina Alicante is 2.6 km from the property. Golfers face a longer journey: Club de Golf El Plantío at 4.5 km, with Bonalba (13.1 km) and Alenda (14.0 km) further inland. Alicante-Elche Airport is listed at a considerable distance from this dataset's reference point, so travel time should be verified on a mapping service before planning. Public transport is limited to a single line with ten stops in the area, meaning accessibility rests primarily on private vehicles; the included underground parking space supports this. Everyday services, supermarkets, pharmacies, banks, schools, are concentrated within 2 km, keeping routine errands short.

The area records an average annual temperature of 20.3°C, with monthly averages ranging from 13°C in the coolest months to 25°C in summer, a typical Costa Blanco coastal profile with mild winters and warm, dry summers. The swimming season spans six months, during which sea temperatures reach at least 20°C, extending outdoor and beach use well beyond the peak summer weeks. La Florida sits at 189 m above sea level, which means the walk to the beach involves a descent and the return trip a climb, a modest but real gradient worth knowing for daily beach trips on foot. The elevated position relative to the shoreline contributes to the sea views from the rooftop terrace. No rainfall or air-quality figures are included in the available data, but the regional climate pattern of roughly 3,000 annual sunshine hours underpins the area's year-round habitability.

The immediate coastline offers a mix of sandy beach and rocky coves. Platja de Sant Gabriel, 1.7 km away as the crow flies, is the closest option, while Cala El Palmeral (2.6 km) and Cala de Agua Amarga (3.4 km) provide smaller, more sheltered swimming spots typical of this stretch of the Alicante coast. No Blue Flag status is stated in the available data. Recreation within the neighbourhood is well served: a petanque court 300 m away, a municipal outdoor pool 500 m away and a covered sports pavilion 600 m away, plus a gym inside the residential community itself. For golf, the nearest course is Club de Golf El Plantío at 4.5 km, with two further clubs within 14 km. Marina Alicante, 2.6 km away, adds sailing and waterfront leisure options, and the coastal park visible from the property offers green space for walks.
