This middle-floor apartment is located in Estepona, on the western Costa del Sol, within walking distance of the beach and town amenities. The property offers 158 m² of built space with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, plus a 25 m² terrace oriented to the south-east, south and south-west. Completed in 2006 (indicative) and recently refurbished, the residence sits in a gated complex with 24-hour security, underground parking, an EV charge point and a communal pool. The nearest supermarket is 104 m away, Playa de Estepona is roughly 524 m, and Málaga Airport lies 34 km away.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in an established urbanisation on the edge of Estepona town, close to schools and forest. Beaches such as Playa de Estepona and La Rada are within 500–800 m. A supermarket (104 m), pharmacy (237 m) and health centre (1.1 km) are all reachable on foot, making daily life largely car-free.
The layout serves a two-bedroom household with ensuite bathroom, underfloor heating in bathrooms, air conditioning, a gym, tennis court and storage room. Access for people with reduced mobility, a lift and domotics broaden usability. The 25 m² private terrace and covered section extend living space towards sea and mountain views.
This is not a new-build project. The building was completed in 2006 (indicative) and the apartment has been recently refurbished. Delivery is immediate upon purchase, subject to standard transfer procedures. Buyers therefore inspect an existing, finished unit rather than relying on plans or construction schedules.
The property offers two bedrooms and two bathrooms only, which limits larger households. There is no private pool; the pool is communal. Parking is underground in a shared garage. The listed price of €639,000 is the asking price; no variations, phases or off-plan options apply. Garden areas are communal rather than private.
This apartment fits a buyer seeking a move-in-ready coastal home rather than a construction project. Because it is completed, refurbished and furnished, the transition to occupancy is largely administrative rather than logistical. The following situations align with the property's characteristics. A couple or small household wanting two bedrooms with ensuite facilities will find the layout adequate; larger families will not. Buyers who value walkability, supermarket, pharmacy, health centre, sports facilities and beaches all within roughly 1 km, can function here without daily car use, while underground parking with EV charging covers longer trips towards Marbella (25 km) or Gibraltar (approx. 36 km straight-line). Those prioritising views and outdoor living benefit from the 25 m² terrace with south-east to south-west orientation and listed sea, mountain and panoramic views. Residents who prefer managed services, 24-hour security and reception, communal pool, on-site restaurant, gym and tennis court, over private grounds will find the complex structure suits them. The property may also suit buyers monitoring the Estepona market, where 3,163 property transactions were recorded in the reference period, indicating an active resale environment. It is less suitable for buyers seeking a private pool, three or more bedrooms, or a rural setting; the location is urban and amenity-dense by design.
The apartment is listed in excellent condition following a recent refurbishment. Technical provisions include underfloor heating throughout the main areas with dedicated underfloor heating in the bathrooms, air conditioning, and domotics for systems control. Connectivity is provided via fibre optic and satellite television, with WiFi infrastructure in place. The bathroom configuration includes an ensuite bathroom to the principal bedroom. A storage room supplements the 158 m² built area, and the property is delivered fully furnished, which reduces initial setup costs but should be assessed during viewing for condition and taste. Building-level infrastructure reflects the 2006 construction era upgraded with modern systems: lift access, access provisions for people with reduced mobility, underground garage with an EV charge point, and utilities connected to electricity, telephone and gas. The communal areas, pool, gym, tennis court, gardens and 24-hour reception, are managed within the gated complex, with associated community fees payable by owners. Structural and legal due diligence remains the buyer's responsibility through a standard survey and nota simple review. Energy performance documentation should be requested, as a definitive certificate for this specific unit was not included in the supplied data. The overall specification points to a refurbished resale property with contemporary climate control and connectivity rather than a legacy unit awaiting modernisation.
The asking price is €639,000 for a 158 m² built area with two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a 25 m² terrace, delivered fully furnished and recently refurbished. This is a completed resale transaction rather than an off-plan purchase, so no phase pricing applies. As a reference within Estepona, comparable new developments start from approximately €450,000 (Anna de Estepona), €519,000 (Isidora Living Las Mesas) and €524,600 (Acqua Gardens). The listed category includes bargain and investment labels, reflecting its position relative to newer stock in the same municipality. Availability is subject to the seller's status at the time of enquiry.
Daily life at this address is shaped by its position between town and sea. With a supermarket at 104 m and a pharmacy at 237 m, most errands can be done on foot in under five minutes. The beach at Playa de Estepona is a short stroll of roughly 524 m, and La Rada follows at 769 m, so morning or evening walks along the coast are a realistic routine rather than a planned excursion. The flat gradient of 2.4% towards the sea means no serious slopes between the apartment and the shoreline, which matters for cycling, older residents and warm-weather walking. The apartment itself is designed around its terrace and views. The south-east to south-west orientation allows sun exposure across most of the day, with the covered terrace section offering shade during the hottest hours. Sea, mountain and panoramic views are listed, consistent with a middle-floor position in an elevated urbanisation. The complex operates as a gated community with 24-hour reception and security, a communal pool, gym, tennis court and an on-site restaurant. This combination suits residents who want managed surroundings without maintaining a private pool or garden. Underground parking with an EV charge point addresses car ownership, although the location reduces dependence on a car: eight public transport lines and fifty stops serve the wider Estepona area, and a hospital is 1.1 km away. Sports facilities within 600 m include Better Bodies gym and the Polideportivo Municipal, supporting year-round activity beyond the tourist season.
The immediate environment combines residential calm with functional density. Within a 2 km radius, the data records 50 restaurants, 22 cafés, 18 pharmacies, 4 banks, 6 schools and 2 parks. This level of provision means the area functions year-round, not only in the summer months, a relevant consideration for permanent residents evaluating how the neighbourhood feels outside the tourist season. Estepona municipality counts 79,621 inhabitants (INE, 2025), with 19 primary schools and 10 secondary schools across the town, supporting family relocation beyond holiday use. Healthcare is anchored by two health centres, the nearest approximately 1.1 km from the property. The nearest hospital facility sits within the same radius. Mobility is a defining feature. Eight public transport lines and 50 stops serve the municipality, and the flat coastal terrain (2.4% gradient to the beach) makes cycling practical. Málaga Airport is 34 km by road from the property location as listed, with Gibraltar Airport roughly 36 km straight-line to the south-west, giving two air travel options. For sports, 134 facilities are recorded in the municipality, including a gym at 300 m and municipal sports centre at 600 m. Golf courses at Valle Romano (4.1 km) and Azata (4.4–4.6 km) sit within a short drive.
The map shows the apartment's position relative to Estepona town, the coastline and key amenities. The nearest beach lies just over 500 m to the south, with the supermarket, pharmacy and health centre clustered within a 1.1 km radius. Golf courses and the marinas appear further inland and along the shore respectively.

Estepona records an annual average temperature of 19.2°C within a 15–25°C band, and approximately 3,848 sunshine hours per year historically, a high figure even by Andalusian standards. The swimming season extends to roughly five months with sea temperatures at or above 20°C, framing coastal use from late spring into early autumn. The property sits at 19 m above sea level with a 2.4% slope towards the beach, meaning no significant climbing between home and shore. Inland, the municipality rises into the Sierra Bermeja, which peaks at 1,449 m at Los Reales, visible elevated terrain behind the town that contributes to the listed mountain and forest views and offers hiking options within a short drive. The municipal area of 137 km² combines this mountainous backdrop with a fertile valley crossed by small streams. The apartment's south-east to south-west orientation aligns with the coastal sun path, providing extended daylight on the terrace across the day.

Within Estepona, this resale apartment is positioned above the entry pricing of current new-build developments: Anna de Estepona starts from approximately €450,000, Isidora Living Las Mesas from €519,000, and Acqua Gardens from €524,600. At €639,000, the property commands a premium of roughly €115,000–190,000 over these starting prices, justified, or not, by its 158 m² built area, refurbished condition, full furnishing and established complex services. New-build comparables at these entry prices typically offer smaller units or earlier construction phases, so a direct per-square-metre comparison during viewings is advisable. Against the wider region, Estepona trades at a level below central Marbella (25 km north-east) while offering a functioning year-round town of 79,621 inhabitants, 19 primary schools, 10 secondary schools and two health centres. The 3,163 property transactions recorded in the reference period indicate a liquid local market relative to municipality size, which matters for resale considerations. The property's distinguishing feature versus inland golf developments is walkability: five minutes on foot to a supermarket, ten to a pharmacy, and under fifteen to the beach. Newer Estepona projects such as those listed above sit in emerging residential zones where a car is more often required for daily errands. Conversely, buyers seeking brand-new construction, A-grade energy certificates or phased payment structures will find the new-build comparables more aligned, while this apartment offers immediate delivery and a mature urban setting with two airports, Málaga and Gibraltar, within practical range.
