Project Status

The apartment building was completed in 1970, representing established construction from that period. As a completed development, all infrastructure, communal facilities, and services are fully operational. The property reflects building standards and design aesthetics typical of Mediterranean residential architecture from the late 20th century, with subsequent maintenance of the communal areas including the pool, sports facilities, and shared spaces.

Points of Attention

The property does not include multiple bathrooms, featuring only one full bathroom despite having three bedrooms. There is no dedicated air conditioning system specified in the building details. The apartment does not feature private garden space, limited to the balcony area. EV charging facilities are not available on-site, requiring travel 9.6 kilometers to the nearest charging point.

Lifestyle & Surroundings

This apartment would suit those seeking a permanent residence in a coastal urban setting with established infrastructure. The proximity to healthcare facilities, including a hospital within 300 meters, makes it practical for residents with regular medical needs or those valuing quick access to medical services. The three-bedroom configuration accommodates families, remote workers requiring dedicated office space, or those who frequently host guests. For buyers interested in a secondary holiday home, the property offers the advantage of being in a year-round residential area rather than a seasonal resort, meaning facilities remain operational throughout the year.

The structure features concrete and brick construction methods common to Mediterranean developments of this era, designed for thermal efficiency in the warm climate. The semi-circular balcony represents a distinctive architectural element that emphasizes outdoor living, a traditional focus in Spanish residential design. Interior finishes appear to include tiled surfaces in the bathroom and kitchen, which provide durability in the humid coastal environment. The presence of a lift in the building indicates attention to accessibility features that were becoming standard in multi-story residential buildings of this period.

Regional Comparison

When compared to properties in the nearby Torrevieja area, this Arenales del Sol apartment represents a different market segment with distinct positioning advantages. While comparable projects in Torrevieja such as APARTMENTS PALANGRE BEACH and EDIFICIO SUN & CENTER offer more budget-friendly entry points starting from €160,000-€169,000, this Alicante-adjacent property commands a premium price reflecting its established urban environment and proximity to both major city infrastructure and international airport access. The property differs from newer developments like OASIS LAGUNA 2 in Urbanización El Raso through its position within an established residential neighborhood rather than a purpose-built holiday urbanization. This distinction translates to year-round amenities and services rather than seasonal offerings common in more tourist-focused developments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the building show signs of age given its 1970 construction date?
The building represents construction standards of its era with subsequent maintenance of communal areas. The structure utilizes traditional concrete and brick methods common to Mediterranean buildings of this period. While not reflecting current building regulations or energy efficiency standards, the established nature of the development means infrastructure is settled and mature landscaping surrounds the property.
Is a car necessary for daily living in this location?
A car is not essential for daily necessities as most services are within walking distance. The urban environment provides supermarkets, pharmacies, and healthcare facilities within 300 meters. Public transport is available with 13 bus routes serving the area. However, a vehicle would be beneficial for accessing golf courses, exploring the wider region, or shopping trips to larger commercial centers.
What are the exact dimensions of the rooms and balcony?
Specific room dimensions are not provided in the available data. The total living area is 80 m² distributed across three bedrooms, one bathroom, kitchen, and living-dining room. The semi-circular balcony extends from the living-dining area and offers sea views, but exact measurements are not included in the property specifications.
How does the price compare to similar properties in the area?
At €340,000, this property is positioned above more budget-friendly options in nearby Torrevieja which start from €160,000-€227,000. The premium reflects the established coastal location near Alicante city and international airport. The 1970 construction date and single bathroom configuration with three bedrooms are factors affecting the property's market positioning within the Alicante property market.
What exactly is included in the communal areas?
The communal facilities include a swimming pool with attendant, parking space within the complex, common storage room area, barbecue and picnic area, tennis court, football court, and petanque court. These amenities are shared among residents of the complex and are maintained through community fees. The apartment does not include private garden space, limited to the balcony area.
What additional costs should be considered beyond the purchase price?
Beyond the €340,000 purchase price, buyers should budget for property transfer tax (typically 8-10% in Spain), notary fees, land registry fees, and legal representation costs. Ongoing expenses include community fees for maintenance of communal areas, property taxes (IBI), utilities, and potentially income tax if renting the property. Insurance costs should also be factored into ownership calculations.
What is the purchase process for this property as an international buyer?
International buyers typically start with obtaining a NIE (foreigner identification number) required for property purchase. This is followed by opening a Spanish bank account. After agreeing on purchase terms, a deposit is usually paid to reserve the property. The buyer's lawyer conducts due diligence including property checks and verifying debts. The purchase completes at a notary with payment of the balance and associated taxes, followed by registration of the property title.
How busy are the beaches and communal areas during peak season?
Arenales del Sol functions as a year-round residential area rather than purely seasonal resort. Beaches experience increased use during July and August, with the main beach (Platja dels Arenals del Sol) attracting both local residents and visitors. The communal facilities within the residential complex are typically less crowded than public amenities as access is restricted to residents, maintaining a more consistent level of use throughout the year compared to seasonal tourist areas.
