This three-bedroom townhouse is situated in the Veracruz urbanisation in Benalmadena, a coastal town on the Costa del Sol between Torremolinos and Fuengirola. Built in 1999 and fully refurbished approximately two years ago, the property offers 152 m² of living space across three levels, with a private garden, a covered terrace and a balcony with open sea views. The asking price is a fixed €695,000. The home is key-ready, includes two bathrooms, private parking with an EV charger and access to a communal swimming pool. Shops, pharmacies and the beach at Playa Malapesquera are within walking distance.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property stands in an established residential area of Benalmadena, roughly 12 km west of Malaga. The nearest beach, Playa Malapesquera, lies approximately 229 m away as the crow flies, with a supermarket at 245 m and a pharmacy at 402 m. The area is urban in character, with most daily amenities reachable on foot or by bicycle. Malaga-Costa del Sol airport is 9.3 km away in a straight line.
The house is arranged over three levels and provides three bedrooms, two bathrooms, two living rooms, a dining area, an open-plan kitchen, a laundry room and two storage rooms. Outdoor space includes a private garden, a main-floor terrace with an awning and a balcony off the main bedroom. South orientation supports sunlight on the outdoor areas during the day. Private parking with an EV charger is included on the plot of 130 m².
This is an existing home, completed in 1999 and refurbished approximately two years ago. The construction status is key-ready, meaning the property can be occupied directly after purchase. The refurbishment included both bathrooms, the kitchen, flooring and exterior elements such as the awning and the electric charging point in the parking area. Delivery dates for existing homes are not indicative but tied to the completion of the purchase transaction.
The property does not offer a private swimming pool; swimming facilities are communal. The plot is 130 m², which limits private garden space. The gradient from the house towards the beach is steep, measured at 8.2%. The nearest electric charging point beyond the private one is 7.4 km away by straight-line distance. Built in 1999, the construction predates current new-build standards, although major systems were renewed during the recent refurbishment.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A buyer relocating permanently to the Costa del Sol benefits from the walkable urban setting, the nearby healthcare facilities and the short distance to Malaga airport at 9.3 km straight-line, which simplifies travel to and from northern Europe. A household seeking a second home will find the key-ready condition relevant: no renovation work is required before first use, and the communal pool covers the holiday season. Buyers who work remotely can use the second living room or the storage rooms as a workspace, supported by the separated layout across three levels. The property also suits buyers who prioritise sea views without a hillside drive: the balcony overlooks the sea and a green park from within an established neighbourhood. It is less suited to buyers wanting a private pool, a large garden plot or a completely flat route to the beach, given the 130 m² plot and the 8.2% gradient towards the shore. Households with children have seven schools within 2 km and thirteen primary schools in the wider municipality. Frequent golfers reach three courses within 8.1 km by straight-line distance, including Golf Benalmadena Pitch & Putt at roughly 3 km. In short, the property matches buyers who value condition, location and views over land size and private leisure facilities.
The refurbishment carried out approximately two years ago addressed both surfaces and installations. On the main floor, Porcelanosa tiles provide a hard-wearing, low-maintenance finish in the living and kitchen areas, while Pairesa wooden flooring runs up the staircase and across the entire upper floor, including all three bedrooms. Both bathrooms were renewed with walk-in showers, and the main bedroom benefits from an en-suite arrangement with two built-in wardrobes. The kitchen is open-plan and delivered with appliances integrated into the design. Climate control combines air conditioning for warm months with a fireplace in the main living room for cooler periods, a pairing common in Andalusian homes of this age. Exterior elements were also updated: a modern metallic awning shades the terrace dining area, the lower living room connects to the parking area through a large sliding glass door, and the parking space includes a private EV charger, an unusual feature for a 1999 property. The main entrance is reached via exterior stairs, and the garden uses artificial grass with established planting, reducing irrigation needs. Built-in wardrobes feature in every bedroom, and two storage rooms on the lower level add practical capacity. As with any refurbished older home, buyers typically verify the condition of the building envelope, the community structure and the remaining lifespan of installed systems during the technical survey.
The asking price is a fixed €695,000 for the complete property, including the private parking space with EV charger. This is an existing home rather than a new-build development, so no price list or unit variations apply. The price reflects a recently refurbished property with 152 m² of living space, three bedrooms, two bathrooms and sea views in a walkable coastal location. For context, new-build projects in Benalmadena currently advertise starting prices ranging from €524,000 at Nexus Residences to €753,800 at Astrid, with Alba Benalmadena from €598,000. Compared with those figures, this property positions itself in the middle segment, offering completed condition and immediate availability rather than off-plan purchase terms.
Daily life in this townhouse is organised across three levels, each with a distinct function. The main floor combines a living room with fireplace, a dining area and an open-plan kitchen, extending onto a covered terrace with a metallic awning that provides shade for outdoor meals. The lower level contains a second living room connected to the parking area through a large sliding glass door, along with two storage rooms and the private garden with artificial grass and established planting. The upper floor holds the three bedrooms, with the main bedroom enjoying an en-suite bathroom, two fitted wardrobes and a balcony with open sea views over a green park. The layout suits households that value separated living zones: a quiet sleeping floor, an entertaining floor and a flexible lower level for work, storage or leisure. Because the urbanisation is well established, the rhythm of the neighbourhood follows the pattern of a year-round Spanish coastal town rather than a seasonal resort. Shops, cafés and restaurants lie within walking distance, and the beaches of Playa Malapesquera and Playa de Santa Ana are a short stroll downhill. The steep gradient means the return walk involves an ascent, which residents generally factor into their daily routine. The communal pool functions as the swimming option during the warm months, when sea temperatures exceed 20 °C for roughly four months of the year.
The Veracruz urbanisation sits in a part of Benalmadena where daily errands do not require a car. A supermarket lies 245 m away and a pharmacy 402 m, both within an easy walk. Within a 2 km radius, the area counts 186 restaurants, 48 cafés, 28 pharmacies, 23 banks and 7 schools, which indicates a fully urbanised, year-round neighbourhood rather than a seasonal enclave. Healthcare is covered by two health centres in the municipality and a hospital at 3.4 km straight-line distance. The nearest beaches are Playa Malapesquera at 229 m and Playa de Santa Ana at 588 m, both reachable on foot, although the 8.2% gradient makes the walk back uphill. For sports, the Club Municipal de Hielo ice rink lies 600 m away, a racquet club at 1 km and the Polideportivo Arroyo de la Miel sports centre at 1.1 km. The train station of Benalmadena-Arroyo de la Miel, 1 km away, connects the town with Malaga and Fuengirola along the coastal Cercanías line. Outside the summer months the area retains its resident population of some 78,000 inhabitants, so cafés, shops and services continue operating through winter.

Benalmadena occupies a central position on the Costa del Sol, 12 km west of Malaga and directly between Torremolinos and Fuengirola. Malaga, with roughly 579,000 inhabitants and the region's airport, lies 18 km away by straight-line distance; Marbella sits 31 km distant and Algeciras 95 km. This placement gives the town dual orientation: an easy connection to the cultural and employment offer of Malaga, and straightforward access westwards towards Fuengirola, Marbella and Puerto Banús, the latter roughly 42 km by road according to the seller's description. Within this frame, the property's location near the coast and the train line represents the urban, connected end of the local market rather than the quiet hillside or rural segments further inland.
Distances in this section are straight-line, as the crow flies; actual road distances are longer. Malaga-Costa del Sol airport lies 9.3 km away, a drive of roughly 14 minutes by car according to the seller's figures. Malaga city centre is 18 km distant, Fuengirola sits to the west, and Marbella lies 31 km away. Three golf courses fall within reach: Golf Benalmadena Pitch & Putt at 3.4 km, Campo de Golf Miguel Ángel Jiménez at 4.9 km and Club de Golf Málaga Parador at 7.7 km. Public transport consists of eight lines serving fifteen stops in the area, complemented by the nearby Cercanías train stations at Benalmadena-Arroyo de la Miel (1.0 km) and El Pinillo (1.8 km). For electric vehicles, the private charger at the property is the primary option; public fast charging is available at Fuengirola Supercharger (6.5 km), Málaga Supercharger (7.7 km) and Powerdot (8.4 km). A car remains useful for regional trips, but beach, shopping and dining are reachable on foot.

Benalmadena records an average annual temperature of 18.6 °C at an elevation of 54 m above sea level, conditions characteristic of the western Costa del Sol. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20 °C or above, lasts approximately four months, concentrated in summer. The property's position on a slope of roughly 8.2% towards the sea produces the sea views from the upper-floor balcony and simultaneously explains the uphill return from the beach. Green surroundings include the park visible from the balcony and several viewpoints in the wider municipality, such as Mirador Los Cañones at 2.6 km and Mirador del Madroño at 3.9 km, which sit on the forested hills above the coast. The south orientation of the house supports direct sunlight on the terrace and balcony during the middle of the day. Rainfall concentrates in the cooler months, while summers are dry, a pattern that shapes both water use in the garden and the seasonal rhythm of outdoor living.

The coastline near the property includes Playa Malapesquera at 229 m, Playa de Santa Ana at 588 m and Playa de Benalmádena at 1.1 km, all within walking distance. In the wider municipality, the beaches of Carvajal and Fuente de la Salud hold Blue Flag status, two of the certified beaches in the area. The steep gradient between the house and the shore means the beach visit doubles as physical exercise on the way back. Recreational infrastructure extends beyond the sand: the municipality counts 219 sports facilities, including the ice rink at 600 m, the racquet club at 1 km and the municipal sports centre at 1.1 km. Golfers choose between the Pitch & Putt course at 3.4 km, the Miguel Ángel Jiménez course at 4.9 km and the Parador course in Malaga at 7.7 km. For evening and weekend leisure, the area's 186 restaurants and 48 cafés within 2 km cover most requirements, while the port area of Benalmadena, listed among the setting's nearby features, adds a marina environment a short distance along the coast.

Within Benalmadena's current sales stock, this townhouse competes with both new-build developments and other existing homes. New projects such as Nexus Residences (from €524,000), Alba Benalmadena (from €598,000) and Astrid (from €753,800) advertise starting prices for off-plan or recently delivered units. A direct comparison is not straightforward: new-build pricing typically refers to the cheapest unit type, often an apartment, while this property is a refurbished townhouse with 152 m² of living space, a private garden, private parking with an EV charger and sea views, offered at a fixed €695,000. The trade-off is essentially one of character and timing against specification and developer guarantees. New developments deliver modern building standards, communal facilities and warranty periods, but involve construction or delivery schedules and, in the from-price segment, smaller footprints. This property offers immediate availability, a recently renewed interior and an established neighbourhood whose services, train connection and beach access already function at full capacity. Locationally, Benalmadena sits between Torremolinos and Fuengirola, 12 km from Malaga, a position that supports both year-round residence and rental demand; the municipality records roughly 2,299 housing transactions per year. Relative to Malaga city at 18 km or Marbella at 31 km, the town positions itself as a mid-density coastal option with strong transport links, a resident population of about 78,000 and a tourism base of 24 hotels. Buyers comparing options should weigh the fixed price of this completed home against the entry prices of new stock, taking unit size, outdoor space and condition into account rather than headline figures alone.
