This completed three-bedroom apartment sits in the town centre of Estepona, roughly 500 metres on foot from Playa de Estepona and under a kilometre from La Rada beach. The property measures 105 square metres internally, with a south-facing, partly covered terrace oriented towards the sea, and was finished in 2024. The urbanisation includes a communal pool, a children's pool, gardens and a private gym with sauna. Underground parking and storage are present on site. The location is urban: a supermarket lies within a hundred metres, a pharmacy within 250 metres, and Estepona's marina around 1.6 kilometres away. Málaga Airport is reachable by road in approximately one hour.
Within Estepona's new-build supply, this apartment competes with three identifiable projects: One Estepona (from €685,000), Asperia Estepona (from €625,000) and Bayside Homes (from €739,000). Its €850,000 asking price positions it at the upper end of this set, and the differentiating factor is location rather than size, at 105 m² it is not the largest format on the market. The comparative strength lies in centrality: a 104-metre supermarket distance, a 500-metre beach distance and walkable access to schools, health services and the marina. Developments on Estepona's western and eastern fringes, where several comparable projects sit, typically require a car for daily errands and sit 3, 6 km from the town centre. In exchange, fringe projects often offer larger plots, more extensive communal grounds or golf-adjacent settings at lower entry prices, as the €625,000, €739,000 range indicates. Regionally, Estepona itself is positioned between Marbella (25 km east, median prices materially higher) and the Campo de Gibraltar corridor (lower prices, weaker international demand). The town's 3,163 annual transactions indicate an active market without the intensity of Marbella or Benalmádena. For buyers prioritising a genuine Mediterranean town life, morning walks to La Rada, evenings at the marina, this property trades internal floor area for walkability. For buyers prioritising space, privacy or golf-course proximity, the fringe alternatives at lower price points will read as better value. Both positions are defensible; the choice depends on whether the car stays in the garage or is needed each day.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment is located within Estepona's built-up town area, not in an isolated resort zone. The beach is a short walk away, and daily services, supermarkets, pharmacies, banks and cafés, are concentrated within a few hundred metres. The setting combines coastal proximity with genuine town infrastructure: schools, health centres and 50 bus stops support year-round living rather than seasonal occupation only.
The dwelling is arranged for practical family or couple use: three bedrooms, two bathrooms (principal en-suite), an open-plan kitchen with dining and living area, and a south-facing terrace that extends usable living space across seasons. Air conditioning provides hot and cold climate control. Communal facilities, pools, gym, sauna, reduce the need for external memberships for some residents.
Construction is complete and the property was delivered in 2024 (indicative). This means buyers avoid off-plan waiting periods and can inspect the finished unit, terrace and communal areas before purchase. Documentation and handover can proceed directly, subject to the standard notary process in Spain. No further construction phases apply to this unit.
The property is an apartment, not a villa: outdoor space is limited to the terrace, and the pool is communal rather than private. There is no private garden. At 105 square metres built, internal space is moderate for a three-bedroom unit. Golf courses are not walkable (4+ km). The data does not indicate sea views from every room, only from the property generally.
This property fits a buyer who wants completed, walkable coastal living rather than a car-dependent resort. Recognisable situations include: a couple seeking a lock-and-leave second home where the terrace substitutes for a garden and the urbanisation handles upkeep; a family needing three bedrooms within reach of schools (six within two kilometres, nineteen primary schools town-wide); or a full-time resident who values being able to walk to supermarkets, health services and the beach, the hospital is 1.1 km away and two health centres serve the municipality. It is less suitable for buyers seeking seclusion, a private pool or large plot, since the setting is urban and amenities are shared. Buyers wanting golf-course living should note the nearest clubs, Valle Romano and Azata, are 4, 5 km away and require a short drive. The profile also suits those who want to avoid off-plan risk: the unit exists, can be visited, and the communal facilities, pool, children's pool, gym, sauna, are already operational. Electrified-vehicle owners will find public charging within 1.3, 1.4 km, plus a Tesla Supercharger 8 km away, though buyers relying on home charging should confirm whether the underground garage offers private charging points. Marbella is 25 km east and Gibraltar Airport around 36 km south, which can matter for frequent travellers using both gateways.
As a 2024-completed build, the apartment reflects current Spanish construction standards, including the energy requirements applicable under recent technical building codes. Available documentation points to hot and cold air conditioning throughout, a lift serving the building, and underground parking with individual storage units, visible in the project imagery, which shows numbered storage doors in the garage level. Internally, the layout places the open-plan kitchen in direct continuity with the dining and living areas, and two of the three bedrooms open onto the south-facing terrace, which is part covered and part open. The principal bedroom has an en-suite bathroom; photographs indicate contemporary bathrooms with walk-in showers and vanity units. The rooftop level includes communal leisure infrastructure, a grill area and table football are visible, indicating developer investment in shared amenity space beyond the minimum. Buyers should nonetheless verify specifics directly: the energy certificate rating, appliance brands and kitchen inclusion, thermal insulation values, window glazing type, and whether the garage space and storage unit are included in the purchase price or priced separately. For a 2024 delivery, the ten-year building guarantee (seguro decenal) covering structural elements should be in place, and it is standard practice to confirm this together with the cédula de habitabilidad and the community of owners' establishment documents, including the monthly community fees that fund the pool, gym and garden maintenance.
The asking price is €850,000 for the completed three-bedroom, two-bathroom unit of 105 m². Within Estepona's current new-build supply, comparable projects list from approximately €625,000 (Asperia Estepona) and €685,000 (One Estepona) upwards, with Bayside Homes from around €739,000. The price of this unit reflects its completed status, central town position and beach proximity. Buyers should verify with the selling agent what is included in the price, typically parking and storage on developments of this type, as well as applicable taxes and fees for a 2024-completed property.
Daily life here is shaped by the fact that almost everything is within walking distance. A supermarket sits 104 metres from the door, a pharmacy 237 metres, and the nearest beach roughly 500 metres. This makes the apartment usable without a car for most routine errands, shopping, pharmacies, cafés and restaurants (50 within a two-kilometre radius) are all accessible on foot or by bicycle. The rhythm of the area follows the Spanish town calendar rather than a resort season: Estepona has around 79,600 registered residents, 19 primary schools and 10 secondary schools, which supports an off-season population and keeps services open year-round. The apartment's south orientation means the terrace receives sun through the middle of the day, with the covered section offering shade during the hotter months, relevant given the area's roughly 3,848 historical sunshine hours per year. Mornings can be spent on the terrace before walking down to La Rada or Playa del Cristo; both are flat routes, as the terrain slopes at only 2.4% towards the sea and the town sits at about 19 metres elevation. Las Mesas park adjoins the area with its own café and sports centre, and the municipal sports centre lies about 600 metres away. Estepona's marina and port are a 20, 25 minute walk. In the evening, the town's restaurants and the Paseo Marítimo are reachable without driving, which changes how the property is used compared with more isolated coastal developments. For part-year residents, the lock-and-leave format, apartment in a managed urbanisation with lift and underground parking, reduces maintenance obligations during absences.
The immediate environment is dense, service-rich urban Estepona. Within a two-kilometre radius, publicly available data lists 50 restaurants, 22 cafés, 18 pharmacies, 4 banks, 6 schools and 2 parks. This density means the neighbourhood does not shut down outside the summer months, the town's permanent population of nearly 80,000 and its 134 sports facilities sustain year-round activity. Noise and activity levels should be expected to correspond to a town-centre location: this is not a quiet hillside urbanisation. In exchange, mobility is unusually good for the Costa del Sol. Eight public transport lines and 50 stops serve the municipality, the hospital is 1.1 km away, and the flat terrain (2.4% slope to the beach, 19 m elevation) makes walking and cycling realistic for most trips. Las Mesas park with its café and sports centre adjoins the neighbourhood, and Better Bodies gym is 300 metres away. The marina and Puerto Deportivo, with their restaurant strip, lie 1.6, 1.8 km from the door, roughly a 20-minute walk along the seafront.
The map shows the apartment in central Estepona, moments from the seafront. The nearest beach, supermarket and pharmacy are all within a five-minute walk, and the marina, hospital and sports facilities lie within two kilometres. Golf courses begin about four kilometres west, and both Gibraltar and Málaga airports are marked for orientation, the Mediterranean lifestyle of the Andalusian coast concentrated within walking distance.

Estepona's climate data supports substantial outdoor use: approximately 3,848 sunshine hours per year historically, an average annual temperature of 19.2°C within a 15, 25°C band, and a swim season of about five months during which sea temperatures remain at or above 20°C. The town lies at 19 metres above sea level on flat coastal terrain, a 2.4% slope towards the shore, so no strenuous walking is involved in beach access, in contrast to hillside developments further along the coast. Inland, the municipality extends to the Sierra Bermeja, peaking at 1,449 m at Los Reales, which brings mountain hiking within a short drive. For the apartment's south-facing terrace, the climate data indicates usable outdoor space for most of the year, with the covered section providing shade in the warmer months.
