This south-facing upper-floor bungalow is located in the El Chaparral residential area of La Siesta, near Torrevieja on the Costa Blanca. Built in 1970 and key-ready, the property offers 55 m² of living space with two bedrooms, one bathroom, an open-plan kitchen and a living room opening onto a terrace. A 50 m² private solarium sits above the home, and the residential complex includes a communal swimming pool. The property is sold furnished and has air conditioning. Platja del Cura beach lies approximately 1 km away as the crow flies.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The bungalow sits in La Siesta, a residential district inland of Torrevieja, at roughly 20 metres above sea level with flat terrain towards the coast. Platja del Cura beach is about 1 km away in a straight line, with the coves cala del Barranc d'Aigües and cala Piteres within 5 km. The area is served by twelve public transport lines with fifty stops nearby.
The home combines compact living space with generous outdoor areas: a 50 m² private solarium and a terrace off the living room. Two bedrooms and one bathroom suit couples, small families or use as a holiday residence. Air conditioning is installed, and the property is delivered furnished, which lowers the practical threshold for immediate occupancy or rental use.
This is not a new-build project. The property dates from 1970 and is offered key-ready as an existing home, meaning it can be viewed and transferred in its current condition. The asking price of €135,000 is a fixed price, not a starting price. Completion dates for any transfer follow the standard purchase process rather than a construction schedule.
The property has one bathroom and 55 m² of living space, which limits capacity for larger households. Parking arrangements within the complex are not specified. The building's age of over fifty years means installations and structure should be assessed through an ordinary technical survey. No information is available regarding an energy certificate or storage rooms.

This property fits several recognisable situations. A couple seeking a low-maintenance second home within walking distance of the beach benefits from the compact layout, the furnished delivery and the communal pool without private pool maintenance. Buyers on a budget comparing new-build options will notice that the fixed price of €135,000 sits below the entry level of comparable key-ready developments in Torrevieja, in exchange for a 1970 construction date. Owners intending to rent the property seasonally can use the solarium and air conditioning as practical features, although rental yield depends on local regulation and demand. Retirees who prefer a flat area with services nearby, pharmacies, doctors and shops within 2 km, and who do not need a second bathroom will find the single-storey-style layout workable. The home suits households of one to three people; larger families requiring two bathrooms or more internal space would need to consider alternatives. Buyers who want a turnkey property without waiting for construction can transfer directly, as the home is complete and occupied-ready. Those planning extensive renovation or modernisation should factor the building's age into their budget assessment.
The interior is delivered furnished, including a white kitchen fitted with a washing machine, which reduces initial setup costs for buyers who intend to use the property immediately. The open-plan kitchen connects to the living room, and the living room has direct access to the terrace. Air conditioning is installed, relevant given summer temperatures that average up to 26°C. The 50 m² solarium is private and accessed separately from the home, finished as an open roof terrace suitable for outdoor furniture, sun loungers and shading at the owner's discretion. As a 1970 construction, the building predates modern insulation standards, and buyers should expect thermal performance typical of that era; the air conditioning unit partially compensates during hot months. Windows, plumbing and electrics should be assessed during a viewing or technical survey, as no recent renovation date is documented. The communal pool and garden areas are maintained by the community, with costs shared among owners through community fees. Overall, the finishing level is that of a maintained resale property rather than a new build: functional, liveable, and dependent in part on how previous owners have updated the home over five decades.
The asking price is €135,000, fixed, for the property as described: two bedrooms, one bathroom, 55 m² of living space, a private terrace, a 50 m² solarium, air conditioning and full furnishing. This positions the home below comparable new-build apartments in the region; for reference, key-ready projects in Torrevieja start at €160,000 to €169,000, and a newer development in Urbanización El Raso starts at €227,000. As an existing home built in 1970, the property is available immediately in its current state. Additional purchase costs in Spain, including transfer tax and notary fees, apply on top of the asking price.
Daily life in El Chaparral revolves around a compact residential street pattern with white buildings and balconies, typical of the Torrevieja hinterland. The morning routine can start on the south-facing solarium, which receives sun for most of the day and functions as an outdoor extension of the 55 m² interior. The living room opens onto a terrace overlooking the street, and the open-plan kitchen keeps the ground floor layout open and practical. The communal pool area, set on a lawn with trees, serves as the social centre of the complex during the warmer months. Within a 2 km radius, residents have access to approximately 170 restaurants, 47 cafés, 27 pharmacies, 27 dentists, 24 banks and 3 schools, meaning daily shopping, dining and services are reachable without long journeys. The flat gradient of 1.7% towards Platja del Cura, roughly 1 km away as the crow flies, makes the beach reachable on foot or by bicycle for most residents. Outside the summer season, the neighbourhood retains its residential character, supported by a local population of around 65,000 in the wider municipality. A car is convenient for reaching Elche, Murcia or Alicante, but the presence of fifty public transport stops on twelve lines means many errands can be done without one.
La Siesta forms part of the Torrevieja urban area, where the municipality counts roughly 65,000 inhabitants and a large international resident community. The immediate surroundings are residential, with low white buildings, palm trees and quiet streets, rather than high-rise tourism. Distances to key destinations are moderate: Platja del Cura beach lies about 1 km away in a straight line, the marina Club Náutico Campello 6.7 km, and the nearest golf course, Club de Golf Bonalba, 11.3 km. Daily life is well served: the 2 km radius contains hundreds of hospitality venues as well as medical, financial and educational services. Alicante-Elche Airport is approximately 36 km away by direct distance, making flights to northern Europe straightforward for part-year residents. Elche (32 km), Murcia (39 km) and Alicante (44 km) provide larger-city amenities, hospitals and shopping within an hour's drive. With twelve bus lines and fifty stops in the area, residents without a car can reach central Torrevieja and its beaches, although journey times are longer than by car.
The map shows the property's position in La Siesta relative to central Torrevieja and the coast. Platja del Cura lies about 1 km to the east as the crow flies, with the coves of cala del Barranc d'Aigües and cala Piteres slightly further south. Alicante-Elche Airport sits approximately 36 km to the north-east.

La Siesta lies on the inland edge of Torrevieja, in the southern Costa Blanca between Alicante (44 km) and the Murcia region (39 km). This positions the property in one of the most affordable coastal micro-markets of the province, with prices per square metre generally below those of Alicante city or the northern coast. Elche, 32 km away, and Murcia, 39 km away, provide regional services and employment. The area's resident population includes a substantial international community, which shapes local services, languages spoken in shops and the year-round activity of the neighbourhood outside the summer months.
The nearest beach, Platja del Cura, is roughly 1 km away as the crow flies, with an almost flat gradient of 1.7%, one of the most walkable beach approaches in the region. The nearest airport is Alicante-Elche (ALC) at approximately 36 km direct distance; Valencia airport lies about 169 km away and Málaga airport roughly 367 km, making Alicante the practical choice. By car, the area connects via the regional road network to Torrevieja centre, Elche and the AP-7 corridor. Public transport consists of twelve lines with fifty stops in the vicinity, covering local routes through the town. Within 2 km, residents find restaurants, cafés, pharmacies, banks, dentists and three schools, meaning daily needs are met on foot or by a short drive.

The climate is typical of the southern Costa Blanca: average monthly temperatures range from 12°C in winter to 26°C in summer, with an annual average of 18.7°C. The swimming season lasts approximately five months, during which sea temperatures remain at or above 20°C. The property sits at 20 metres above sea level with a flat gradient towards the coast, so no stairs or hills separate the home from the beach. The 50 m² south-facing solarium captures direct sun for most of the day, which supports outdoor living from early spring to late autumn but also makes shading and the air conditioning unit practical considerations in July and August. Rainfall is low in relative terms, and the area records around 32 local public holidays per year, reflecting an active municipal calendar of fiestas and events.

Within its market segment, this bungalow competes directly with key-ready new-build apartments in Torrevieja and the surrounding area. Apartments Palangre Beach in Torrevieja starts at €160,000, and Edificio Sun & Center, also key-ready in Torrevieja, starts at €169,000, both at least €25,000 above the fixed price of this property. Further inland, Oasis Laguna 2 Phase II in Urbanización El Raso starts at €227,000, reflecting newer construction and a more extensive amenity package. The price difference of roughly €25,000 to €90,000 buys newer building standards, likely better insulation and typically modern finishes, while this bungalow compensates with a 50 m² private solarium, an outdoor area rarely included in apartment projects at the entry price level, plus full furnishing and immediate availability. Geographically, La Siesta sits inland of the Torrevieja coastline, roughly 1 km from Platja del Cura, which is comparable to or better than many new-build locations that trade proximity to the sea for lower land costs. Compared with the northern Costa Blanca and Alicante city, prices in this southern pocket remain among the lowest on the coast, which attracts both budget-focused second-home buyers and investors. Accessibility is comparable across all these locations, with Alicante-Elche Airport approximately 36 km away by direct distance. Buyers weighing this property against new-build alternatives should weigh the 1970 construction date and single bathroom against the lower entry price, larger private outdoor space and the absence of construction-phase risk or waiting time.
