Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is located in San Vicente del Raspeig, part of the Alicante conurbation. It lies inland from the coast, adjacent to the University of Alicante. The setting is urban with a high density of amenities such as supermarkets and cafes within walking distance. It is positioned roughly 7 kilometres from the city centre of Alicante.
With three bedrooms and three bathrooms, the layout accommodates a household requiring separate sanitary facilities for each room. The 136 m² surface area provides substantial internal space. The presence of a separate laundry and utility room supports practical daily living. The covered terrace extends the living space outdoors.
This project dates from 1982 and is classified as a completed development, not new construction. The building fabric is established, with communal areas and gardens that have matured over four decades. The property is available for immediate occupation without construction delays.
The property is situated inland, approximately 7 kilometres from the nearest beaches, requiring transport for coastal access. The 1982 construction date implies the layout and specifications adhere to the standards of that period, differing from contemporary energy efficiency norms. The urban location may result in ambient noise typical of a busy municipality.
This property suits households requiring substantial internal space and specific room configurations, such as families with older children or professionals working at the nearby university. It is appropriate for buyers prioritising immediate occupancy over a new-build timeframe. The layout facilitates a lifestyle where guests can be accommodated with privacy due to the en-suite facilities. It is also suitable for those seeking a permanent residence near Alicante city without the maintenance demands of a villa. The proximity to educational institutions may appeal to academic staff.
The property is listed in good to excellent condition, featuring air conditioning and central heating, which addresses the climate variability throughout the year. The 1982 construction era typically involved solid structural methods using brick and concrete. Finishes such as the fireplace and fitted kitchen indicate a focus on functional domesticity. The inclusion of a utility room and separate storage suggests a practical approach to organisation. While the specifications meet modern comfort needs, the energy efficiency rating will likely be lower than that of contemporary builds due to the age of the property.
The asking price is set at €630,000, which represents a significant capital outlay for this region. The pricing reflects the large floor area of 136 m² and the inclusion of three bathrooms, a configuration that commands a premium. Compared to the regional median income, this property targets the higher segment of the local market. Availability is immediate for the right buyer.
San Vicente del Raspeig functions primarily as a residential and educational hub due to the presence of the University of Alicante. The daily rhythm here is defined by local commerce and academic schedules rather than tourism. For a resident, amenities such as supermarkets, pharmacies, and restaurants are within a short walk, reducing reliance on a vehicle for daily errands. The atmosphere is metropolitan yet distinct from the tourist-focused coastal zones. The apartment itself, with its south-facing terrace and garden views, offers a private retreat from the urban surroundings. Evenings can be spent on the covered terrace or in the living area with the fireplace, particularly relevant during the cooler winter months.
The immediate environment is characterised by high urban density with a wide range of services. Within a 2-kilometre radius, there are over 50 restaurants and numerous banks, supporting a convenient urban lifestyle. The area is well-connected by public transport, with 43 bus lines and 50 stops serving the municipality. The presence of the university adds a youthful demographic and cultural facilities to the vicinity. Access to the wider region is facilitated by the proximity to the A-7 motorway and Alicante city centre.

Compared to coastal developments in Torrevieja, such as Apartments Palangre Beach or Oasis Laguna, this property is situated significantly further inland and commands a much higher price point. While Torrevieja offers resort-style living at entry-level prices (€160,000 - €227,000), this residence reflects the pricing dynamics of the Alicante metropolitan area where proximity to the city and university increases value. Unlike the newer builds in tourist zones, this is a mature urban apartment. In comparison to central Alicante properties of similar size, it may offer more space for the price, though it lacks the immediate beachfront access. The €630,000 valuation positions it above the provincial average, targeting a demographic seeking permanence rather than a holiday home.
