A ground-floor apartment of 161 m² with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, located in an urban area of Estepona within walking distance of the beach. The property was completed in 2006 and is offered key-ready at a fixed asking price of €510,000. The home includes a private, southwest-facing garden with direct access from both the living room and the master bedroom, an underground parking space and a storage room. The gated community provides 24-hour security, four outdoor swimming pools and a spa with a heated indoor pool and gym. Everyday amenities such as a supermarket, pharmacy and sports facilities are reachable on foot.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in an urban, built-up part of Estepona, roughly 500 metres as the crow flies from Playa de Estepona and under a kilometre from La Rada. A supermarket is around 100 metres away and a pharmacy about 240 metres, meaning daily shopping requires no car. The A-7 corridor connects the town to Marbella, about 25 km straight-line away, while Málaga airport lies 64 km from the coast here.
The layout serves a household that values indoor-outdoor living: a southwest-facing private garden accessible from the living room and master bedroom, plus a covered terrace for shade. Two bathrooms, one en-suite, fitted wardrobes and a separate utility room cover practical daily needs. Communal facilities, four outdoor pools, a heated indoor pool, gym and sauna, support year-round use rather than seasonal visits only.
This is an existing home, not a new-build development. Construction was completed in 2006, and the property is delivered key-ready, so no waiting period or construction risk applies. The condition is listed as good, with marble flooring, a fully fitted kitchen and climate control already installed. Any renovation decisions can be made after viewing, on the basis of the actual state of the finishes.
The property is a ground-floor unit, so it does not offer elevated or panoramic sea views; the listed view is of the garden. There are two bedrooms and two bathrooms, which limits suitability for larger households. No private pool is included; swimming is via the communal pools. The nearest golf course lies just over 4 km away, so this is not a golf-front location. Community facilities entail standard communal fees.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A couple or small family seeking a permanent residence on the Costa del Sol will find the walking-distance amenities, year-round community facilities and 19.2°C average temperature directly relevant: school options exist within 2 km, a hospital lies 1.1 km away, and the flat terrain makes daily life manageable without a car. Buyers looking for a second home benefit from the key-ready status, there is no construction phase to wait through, and from the lock-up-and-leave format of a ground-floor apartment with 24-hour security and underground parking. The southwest garden extends the usable season considerably compared with shaded or north-facing units. Older buyers or those planning for later years may note the lift access, single-level ground-floor layout, heated indoor pool and proximity of a pharmacy and health infrastructure, a combination not always available in hillside urbanisations. The property is less obviously suited to households needing more than two bedrooms, or to buyers specifically wanting panoramic sea views or a private pool. Those prioritising golf-course frontage should also note that the nearest courses are 4 km or more away. For owners of electric vehicles, charging points are available roughly 1.3 km from the property, which requires a short trip rather than home charging.
The apartment dates from 2006 and is recorded as being in good condition. Interior finishes include marble flooring throughout and fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms, with the master bedroom benefiting from an en-suite bathroom and direct garden access. The kitchen is fully fitted and includes a separate utility/laundry room, a practical feature that keeps washing and drying out of the main living areas. Climate control is comprehensive for a property of this age: air conditioning for summer, central heating for winter, and underfloor heating in the bathrooms, which adds comfort in the cooler months when coastal temperatures drop in the evenings. WiFi infrastructure is in place. The outdoor space consists of a private, southwest-facing garden and a covered terrace, both accessible from the living room and master bedroom. The covered section provides shade and weather protection, extending the hours the terrace can be used. Practical storage and parking are addressed through the included underground parking space and separate storage room, both valuable in a coastal town where street parking near the beach can be congested in season. A lift serves the building, making the ground-floor location convenient for moving furniture and for residents with mobility considerations. Community amenities, four outdoor pools, a spa with heated indoor pool, gym and sauna, are maintained collectively, and their condition should be assessed during a viewing together with the community's financial records and fee structure.
The apartment is offered at a fixed asking price of €510,000. This is an existing, completed property from 2006, so unlike new-build projects in Estepona, where price lists typically start between €359,000 and €390,000 for smaller units, there is no from-price or tiered pricing structure. The price reflects a 161 m² living area with two bathrooms, a private garden, underground parking and a storage room, within a gated community with extensive shared facilities including a spa. Availability is immediate, as the home is key-ready. Buyers should budget additionally for purchase costs, community fees and annual property tax (IBI), for which exact figures can be requested through the listed agent.
Daily life around this apartment is organised around walking distances. The supermarket sits roughly 100 metres from the door, a pharmacy about 240 metres, and the beach at Playa de Estepona is just over 500 metres away as the crow flies, a stroll of a few minutes along urban streets. Two sports centres and a municipal polideportivo lie within 600 metres, which makes an exercise routine possible without driving. The flat gradient of about 2.4% towards the sea means no steep climbs on foot or by bicycle. The home itself is oriented towards outdoor use. The southwest-facing garden catches afternoon and evening sun, and both the living room and master bedroom open directly onto it, so the terrace functions as an extension of the living space for much of the year given the local average temperature of 19.2°C. The covered terrace allows use even in the hotter midday hours or during occasional rain. The gated community adds a layer of services that shapes the weekly rhythm: four outdoor pools for warm months, a heated indoor pool and gym for winter, and 24-hour security. A lift serves the building, and the underground parking space plus storage room remove the usual coastal parking pressure. With around 50 restaurants and 22 cafés within 2 km, eating out is a local affair rather than an excursion. In short, the location supports a car-optional lifestyle with the car still available for trips to Marbella, golf courses or the airport.
The immediate surroundings are urban and service-dense. Within a 2-kilometre radius the area counts around 50 restaurants, 22 cafés, 18 pharmacies, 6 schools, 4 banks and 2 parks, a level of provision that indicates a year-round residential neighbourhood rather than a seasonal resort strip. A supermarket at roughly 100 metres and a pharmacy at 237 metres anchor daily convenience. Health and education are close at hand: a hospital lies 1.1 km away, and the municipality offers 19 primary schools and 10 secondary schools overall. Estepona itself has about 79,600 registered inhabitants (2025) and two health centres, supporting the infrastructure of a working Andalusian town rather than a village. Beaches are the defining recreational asset. Playa de Estepona sits just over 500 metres away as the crow flies, La Rada about 770 metres, and Playa del Cristo 1.6 km. The route to the sea is flat, with a gradient of roughly 2.4%. Marinas at Puerto Estepona (1.6 km) and Puerto Deportivo (1.8 km) add waterfront dining and walking options. Public transport is available through 8 lines with 50 stops, which covers local movement, though most residents will find a car useful for regional trips, Marbella is 25 km away straight-line, Algeciras 42 km and Málaga 73 km.
The map shows the apartment's position within Estepona's urban core, with Playa de Estepona a short walk to the south and Marbella along the coast to the east. Marked distances are straight-line; road routes run slightly longer. The concentration of amenities within 1 km illustrates how compact daily life is here.

Estepona occupies the western stretch of the Costa del Sol in the province of Málaga, positioned between Marbella (25 km straight-line) and Algeciras (42 km). Málaga city and its airport lie 73 km to the east, while Gibraltar is roughly 36 km to the south-west. This places the town at the quieter, more residential end of the coast, away from the density of Marbella and the metropolitan core. Within Estepona, this apartment sits in the urban beachside zone rather than in the hillside or golf urbanisations, distinguishing it from resort-style developments further inland. The surrounding area mixes long beaches, Sierra Bermeja mountain access and a functioning town centre with about 79,600 inhabitants.
Distances below are straight-line (as the crow flies); actual road distances and travel times are longer. The nearest beach, Playa de Estepona, lies 524 metres away, with La Rada at 769 metres and Playa del Cristo at 1.6 km. Golf is a short drive rather than walkable: Valle Romano Golf at 4.1 km and Azata Golf at 4.4-4.6 km. A hospital is 1.1 km away and an EV charging point 1.3 km. Airports: Málaga-Costa del Sol (AGP) is approximately 64 km away straight-line, with the location dataset also noting a 34 km figure for the airport connection; Gibraltar (GIB) is roughly 36 km to the south. Both figures are indicative and depend on route choice. By car, the coastal A-7 and AP-7 provide the main arteries towards Marbella (25 km) and Málaga (73 km). Locally, 8 public transport lines with 50 stops cover the town, so trips within Estepona are feasible without driving. For groceries, healthcare and the beach, no car is needed on a daily basis.

Estepona records an average annual temperature of 19.2°C, with monthly averages ranging between 15°C and 25°C, a pattern that keeps outdoor living practical for most of the year. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts about five months, aligning roughly with late spring through early autumn. The town lies at low elevation, around 19 metres above sea level near the coast, and the gradient from the property towards the sea is approximately 2.4%, effectively flat. Inland, the municipality covers 137 km² and rises into the Sierra Bermeja, which peaks at 1,449 metres at Los Reales; this mountain backdrop is visible from parts of town and offers hiking terrain within a short drive. The fertile valley setting, crossed by small streams, combined with the coastal position, produces the classic Costa del Sol climate: mild winters, warm summers and reliable sunshine. For residents, this means the southwest-facing garden and covered terrace remain usable across the seasons, with the heated indoor pool covering the cooler months.

Within Estepona's current sales market, three comparable new-build projects illustrate the pricing context: Celestia Homes (from €390,000), Sunset Bay (from €359,000) and Sunny Golf (from €370,000). These are from-prices for new construction, typically for smaller units and with delivery dates still in the future, which involves a waiting period and construction-phase risk. This apartment, at a fixed €510,000, sits above those entry prices, but the comparison is not straightforward. The buyer receives 161 m² of living space completed in 2006, two bathrooms, a private garden with southwest orientation, underground parking and a storage room, all available immediately. New-build from-prices generally exclude parking, storage or higher-specification units, which can add considerably to the final contract sum. The town records around 3,163 housing transactions per year, indicating an active resale market, which matters for liquidity if the property is later sold. Locationally, the property occupies the urban beachside zone, in contrast to the golf-side or hillside positions of several newer developments. That trade-off cuts both ways: golf-front projects offer green views and course access but usually require a car for daily errands, whereas this position places the supermarket, pharmacy and beach within walking distance on flat terrain. Compared with Marbella, 25 km east along the coast, Estepona's pricing per square metre is generally lower, and the town retains a fuller year-round Spanish resident base of roughly 79,600 inhabitants rather than relying primarily on tourism. For a buyer weighing immediate availability, walkability and space against brand-new finishes, this property and the new-build alternatives represent two distinct positions in the same local market.
