This two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment is located in Estepona, on the western Costa del Sol in the province of Málaga. The property measures 96 m² and was completed in 2009, with a recent renovation recorded in its condition details. It sits in a gated residential development with two communal swimming pools and includes an underground parking space with lift access. The asking price is €299,000. Within walking distance, the location offers a supermarket (104 m), a pharmacy (237 m) and the beaches of Playa de Estepona (524 m) and La Rada (769 m), placing the apartment within an established urban setting with daily amenities on foot.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment lies in an urban area of Estepona, roughly 500–800 metres from the nearest beaches. A supermarket and pharmacy are within 250 metres, and the hospital is 1.1 km away. Golf courses at Valle Romano and Azata sit approximately 4 km inland. Málaga airport is 34 km by road, and Estepona's marina and town centre are a short drive away.
The property functions as a full-year residence or second home. Two bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, two bathrooms, a utility room, air conditioning and fibre-optic internet support permanent occupancy. The 20 m² south-east facing terrace provides covered and open sections. Communal pools and a children's pool serve the development.
This is not a new-build project. The building was completed in 2009, and the apartment has been renovated since. The construction phase is finished and the property is described as move-in ready. Delivery is immediate upon purchase, subject to standard notary and registration processes in Spain.
The property offers no private pool, private garden or private solarium; pools are communal. There is no mention of a storage room beyond the utility area. Parking is limited to one underground space. The building dates from 2009, so construction standards pre-date current energy-efficiency requirements, and no energy label is recorded.

This property matches several recognisable buyer situations. A couple seeking a permanent residence on the Costa del Sol will find the two-bedroom layout, utility room, air conditioning and fibre internet suited to year-round living, with a hospital 1.1 km away and six schools within two kilometres for families. A second-home buyer prioritising walkability benefits from the supermarket at 104 metres and beaches under 800 metres, meaning a car is not strictly necessary for daily needs, relevant for those arriving for weeks at a time rather than the full year. Buyers focused on golf have two courses within 4.5 km without living inside a golf resort, which keeps urban amenities closer than in inland golf urbanisations. Investors considering rental use should note the property's renovation status, gated setting with communal pools and parking space, features commonly required in the Estepona rental market, which recorded 3,163 property transactions and a hotel base of 6,897 beds, indicating sustained visitor demand. The unit is less suited to buyers wanting a large private plot, a private pool or a detached villa format, or those seeking brand-new construction with current energy certification. It also does not suit buyers requiring more than two bedrooms. For a buyer moving from northern Europe seeking a manageable, low-maintenance coastal apartment with established infrastructure, the profile fits.
The apartment was completed in 2009 and has undergone a recent renovation, with the condition recorded as excellent and recently renovated. Documented technical features include hot and cold air conditioning, double glazing and electric shutters throughout. The kitchen is independent and fully equipped, with an adjoining utility and laundry room, the photo material confirms a dedicated laundry space with sink and water heater, indicating the plumbing infrastructure for a washing machine is in place. Both bedrooms contain fitted wardrobes; the photographic record shows wardrobe interiors and an en-suite arrangement with one bathroom accessed from the master bedroom and a separate family bathroom. Floors and wall finishes visible in the imagery are contemporary rather than original 2009 fittings, consistent with the renovation record. The terrace is partially covered, extending usability across seasons, and faces south-east with recorded sea and golf views. Connectivity is provided via fibre-optic internet. The building itself is a gated development of the 2009 construction period, with a lift serving the underground parking level directly, a practical feature for shopping and luggage. Buyers should verify at viewing stage the age of the air-conditioning unit, the boiler or water heater, and the electrical installation, as these fall outside the renovation description. No energy-performance certificate is recorded in the available data, which is worth requesting from the vendor, as Spanish law requires one for resale transactions.
The asking price is €299,000 for a 96 m² two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment, equating to approximately €3,115 per m². This is a single resale unit, so there is no price ladder of typologies as with new-build developments. Comparable projects in Estepona provide context: Etherna Homes 2 starts from €269,000, Etherna Homes 1 from €304,000 and Aby Middle from €349,000. Those are new-build figures; this unit is a completed 2009 building with a recent renovation, an underground parking space included, and no VAT on the purchase price (resale transfers attract transfer tax instead). Availability is immediate.
Daily life here is organised around an established residential neighbourhood within Estepona's urban fabric rather than an isolated resort. The supermarket at 104 metres and the pharmacy at 237 metres make routine shopping possible on foot, and the location analysis indicates that most amenities are reachable by walking or cycling. The morning routine can plausibly include a walk to Playa de Estepona, 524 metres away, or La Rada beach at 769 metres, both on flat terrain given the 2.4% average slope towards the coast. The apartment's south-east orientation means the 20 m² terrace receives morning and midday sun, with a partially covered section allowing use through the hotter hours of the day. Living spaces open directly onto the terrace, where the recorded views extend over the surrounding area towards the sea and, further inland, the golf course. The neighbourhood itself contains a dense amenity base: within a two-kilometre radius there are some 50 restaurants, 22 cafés, 18 pharmacies and 6 schools, alongside two municipal sports centres within 600 metres. This density indicates year-round habitation rather than a seasonal holiday zone. Estepona's two health centres and the hospital at 1.1 km cover medical needs. For those who play golf, Valle Romano (4.1 km) and Azata Golf (4.4 km) are a ten-minute drive. The rhythm of the area is that of a functioning Andalusian coastal town: active in the mornings and evenings, quieter in winter months, with 79,621 residents recorded in the municipality in 2025.
The surroundings function as a full-service urban district. Within two kilometres, the data lists 50 restaurants, 22 cafés, 18 pharmacies, 4 banks, 2 parks and 6 schools, figures consistent with a permanently inhabited neighbourhood rather than a holiday enclave. Estepona municipality recorded 79,621 residents in 2025 and supports 19 primary schools and 10 secondary schools overall. The nearest hospital is 1.1 km away, with two health centres in the town. Sports provision within walking distance includes Better Bodies gym (300 m) and the Polideportivo Municipal (600 m), and the wider municipality counts 134 sports facilities. Public transport runs on 8 lines with 50 stops, covering local and regional routes; the marina and town centre lie 1.6–1.8 km away. The nearest beaches are 524 m and 769 m from the door, both reachable on flat terrain. Out of season, Estepona retains its resident population and year-round commerce, which distinguishes it from smaller resort settlements further along the coast. Marbella is 25 km east and Algeciras 42 km west, giving access to larger urban economies in both directions.
The map shows the apartment's position within Estepona's urban area, roughly midway between the town centre and the beachfront. Markers indicate the nearest supermarket, pharmacy, hospital, beaches and the golf courses at Valle Romano and Azata, giving a visual sense of the walkable inner circle versus the short-drive zone beyond.

Estepona sits at 19 m above sea level on a coastal plain below the Sierra Bermeja, whose peak Los Reales reaches 1,449 m, a mountain backdrop visible from parts of the town. The climate data records 3,848 sunshine hours per year, an average annual temperature of 19.2°C and a seasonal range of 15–25°C. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, runs approximately five months. The slope from the apartment towards the beach averages 2.4%, effectively flat, which matters for walking and cycling. The combination of high sunshine hours, mild winters and the flat coastal profile shapes daily life: terrace use is realistic for much of the year, and the south-east orientation of this apartment's 20 m² terrace places sun in the morning through early afternoon. The proximity of the Sierra Bermeja also provides hiking options within a short drive.

Waterfront recreation includes Puerto Estepona (1.6 km) and the Puerto Deportivo (1.8 km), the latter a base for boat trips and water sports. Fitness facilities within 600 metres include Better Bodies and two municipal sports centres. The municipality's 134 recorded sports facilities and 24 hotels indicate a tourism and leisure infrastructure that operates well beyond the summer months.

Within Estepona's current supply, this resale apartment at €299,000 (approximately €3,115/m²) sits between the new-build comparables Etherna Homes 2 (from €269,000) and Etherna Homes 1 (from €304,000), with Aby Middle higher at €349,000. The relevant comparison is not simply price but the trade-off between new construction and an established location. New-build developments in Estepona are increasingly positioned towards the western edge of town and in peripheral urbanisations, where buyers gain current building standards and energy certificates but typically face distances to the town centre and beaches that assume daily car use. This unit inverts that trade: it is a 2009 building, so construction standards pre-date the current technical building code, but its urban position places a supermarket at 104 metres, a pharmacy at 237 metres and two beaches within 800 metres on flat ground. Compared with Marbella 25 km east, Estepona prices at a lower level per square metre while sharing the same climate data and coastal geography; the municipality's 3,163 annual transactions and its school and health infrastructure (19 primary schools, 10 secondary schools, 2 health centres) indicate a residential market rather than a purely seasonal one. Golf-led urbanisations closer to Valle Romano offer proximity to the course but place daily amenities further away; this property's position keeps both the golf courses (4–4.5 km) and the town's services within a short drive. For a buyer weighing a new-build further out against a renovated resale closer in, this apartment represents the second position on that spectrum.
