A ground floor apartment of 58 m² with a private garden in a residential area of Estepona, on the western Costa del Sol. The home offers one bedroom with the option to add a second room, a full bathroom plus a guest toilet, and two separate terraces. The complex includes a communal pool and tennis court, surrounded by maintained green spaces. Daily amenities such as a supermarket and pharmacy are within walking distance, and the beaches of Estepona lie roughly 1.6 km away. The asking price is fixed at €223,000. The property dates from 1970 and is key-ready for immediate occupation.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in an urban, residential part of Estepona, roughly 1.6 km from the coast as the crow flies. Amenities are concentrated within walking distance: a supermarket at 656 m, a pharmacy at 598 m and a municipal sports centre at about 600 m. The A-7 motorway provides regional access, and Málaga Airport lies 35 km away in a straight line.
The layout serves compact living: one bedroom with space to create a second, an open kitchen integrated with the living-dining area, two terraces and a private garden. Two bathrooms, one full, one guest toilet, suit both permanent residence and holiday use. The communal pool and tennis court extend the private outdoor space.
This is an existing apartment completed in 1970, not a new-build development. It is key-ready, meaning it can be transferred and occupied directly. Buyers should account for the age of the construction when assessing maintenance, installation updates and energy performance; the delivery date is indicative.
The property offers 58 m² of living space with a single formal bedroom, which limits capacity for larger households. No private parking, storage room or lift access is recorded in the data. Built in 1970, the construction predates current insulation and efficiency standards. Community facilities are shared with other residents.
This apartment fits several recognisable situations. A first-time buyer seeking an affordable foothold on the Costa del Sol with year-round liveability will find walkable amenities, public transport links and two bathrooms within a modest budget. A couple wanting a low-maintenance second home benefits from the key-ready condition, the communal pool and tennis court, and the fact that the garden and terraces deliver outdoor living without the upkeep of a large plot. An investor comparing rental potential can weigh the fixed €223,000 price against new-build alternatives starting at a similar level, noting that an older property may carry different maintenance and renovation considerations. The home is less suited to buyers requiring multiple formal bedrooms, generous interior space, private parking or modern energy performance from the outset. It also suits buyers who value a quiet residential environment with a genuine local community over a front-line beach or resort-style setting. The realistic conversion of the second room makes it workable for a small family or for hosting guests, provided the buyer accepts an adapted rather than purpose-built layout.
The property was completed in 1970, which places it firmly outside current building standards. Interior images show a functional finish: a white kitchen with tiled splashback, marble flooring in the main room, and a living room opening to a terrace with garden views. These are dated but serviceable materials; buyers should expect to evaluate the condition of plumbing, electrics and windows themselves, as no refurbishment record is provided in the data. The two-bathroom arrangement, a full bathroom plus a guest toilet, is a practical feature for this size class and for guest use. The private garden and two independent terraces are the strongest physical assets, effectively extending the usable area well beyond the 58 m² interior. Community facilities include a shared pool and a tennis court, both maintained by the community; associated costs would be set out in the community documentation. Nothing in the data indicates recent renovation, insulation upgrades or heating/cooling systems, so thermal comfort in summer and winter will depend on the existing construction and any appliances installed by the owner. Buyers prioritising energy efficiency should treat this as a property requiring their own technical inspection. Overall, the finishing level is consistent with a well-kept, mid-generation Spanish apartment in a managed complex, sound in structure, modest in specification, and with clear scope for incremental modernisation.
The asking price is fixed at €223,000 for this existing, key-ready apartment. This positions the property at the accessible end of the Estepona market: comparable new-build projects in the town list from €223,370 (Edificio Serena), €250,000 (Nieuwbouw Estepona) and €259,303 (Edificio Solmar). The price reflects the 1970 construction date and compact footprint of 58 m², offset by the private garden, two terraces and two bathrooms. Delivery is immediate upon completion of the standard purchase process; any stated dates are indicative.
Daily life here is organised around the garden and the terraces rather than interior volume. With 58 m² internally, the home functions as a compact base, and the two independent terraces plus private garden provide the additional living space that Spanish coastal living often relies on. The layout, open kitchen with living-dining room, one bedroom with realistic conversion options for a second, a full bathroom and a separate guest toilet, suits a couple, a single occupant, or a small family using the adapted second room. The residential setting is described as quiet, with well-kept communal green areas, a shared pool and a tennis court within the complex. Practical errands require no car: the supermarket sits 656 m away and the pharmacy 598 m, both within a ten-minute walk. The municipal sports centre and Better Bodies gym are under 400 m away. For coastal days, Playa de Estepona and La Rada are approximately 1.6–1.7 km away as the crow flies, walkable for most, or a few minutes by car or bicycle. The town centre, marina and healthcare facilities are all within a short drive, while the A-7 connects west towards Marbella (25 km straight-line) and east towards Algeciras and Gibraltar. The rhythm of the area is year-round residential rather than seasonal, supported by a local population of nearly 80,000 and a full stock of schools, health centres and everyday services.
The immediate surroundings combine residential calm with genuine urban convenience. Within 600 m, residents reach a supermarket, a pharmacy and a municipal sports centre; the Better Bodies gym sits just 300 m away. Restaurants, cafés and banks cluster in the wider neighbourhood, with roughly 50 restaurants and 22 cafés recorded within 2 km. Healthcare is covered by two health centres in town and a hospital 1.5 km away as the crow flies. The beaches of La Rada, Playa de Estepona and Playa del Angel lie between 0.8 and 2.4 km straight-line, and the marinas of Puerto Estepona and Puerto Deportivo are within 2 km. Education options include 19 primary schools and 10 secondary schools in the municipality. Public transport operates on 8 lines with 50 stops, making daily trips feasible without a car, and an EV charging point stands 702 m from the property. The gradient to the beach is flat at 2.4%, so walking and cycling are realistic modes of transport. For motorists, the A-7 provides fast access along the coast, with hypermarkets and the town centre a few minutes' drive away.
The map shows the apartment's position within Estepona's urban fabric: supermarkets, pharmacies and sports facilities sit within a short walking radius, the beaches and marinas lie 1–2 km to the south, and the A-7 runs parallel to the coast for regional connections towards Marbella and Gibraltar.

Within Estepona, this apartment competes at the entry level of the market. The closest new-build comparison is Edificio Serena, with prices from €223,370, effectively the same starting figure as this property's fixed €223,000 asking price. Nieuwbouw Estepona lists from €250,000 and Edificio Solmar from €259,303, placing those projects roughly 12–16% above this apartment in price. The trade-off is generational: new-build units carry current construction standards, warranties and typically better energy performance, whereas this 1970 property offers, at the same money, a private garden, two independent terraces, two bathrooms and communal sports facilities, features rarely found in new apartments at this price point on the Costa del Sol. Regionally, Estepona sits between Marbella (25 km straight-line) and Algeciras (42 km). Marbella's market operates at a distinctly higher price level and a more international, resort-oriented profile; Estepona retains a stronger Spanish year-round population and a broader stock of moderately priced homes. Málaga city (73 km) anchors the provincial market with 579,076 inhabitants and the main international airport. With 3,163 housing transactions per year, 19 primary schools and a full-service municipal infrastructure, Estepona functions as a working town rather than a seasonal resort, a factor that supports both resale liquidity and rental demand for smaller units such as this one. Buyers weighing this apartment against new-build alternatives should assess renovation costs and community fees on the one hand, and immediate availability plus outdoor space on the other.
