This is a completed two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment of 138 m² listed at €640,000, built in 2011 (indicative) and described as part of a frontline beach complex. The property includes a covered terrace, an open terrace, a private swimming pool, two underground parking spaces and a storage room. Note that while the listing names the New Golden Mile near Estepona and Marbella, the underlying location data for this record points to an urban district of Málaga city, west of the centre, with the beach roughly 1.3–3 km away and Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport approximately 7.9 km by road. This report follows the available geo-data rather than the marketing description.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The geo-data situates the property in an urban district of Málaga, in the Los Prados area west of the city centre. A supermarket lies within 73 metres, a pharmacy 211 metres, a hospital 642 metres, and a Cercanías train station 800 metres away. The nearest beach, Playa de la Misericordia, is approximately 3 km by road, while Playa de la Malagueta sits 1.3 km in a straight line. Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport is 7.9 km away.
The apartment covers 138 m² with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a dressing room and a utility room, which supports year-round living rather than short-stay use. Community facilities listed include indoor and outdoor pools, a spa, a gym and 24-hour security. Daily needs, supermarket, pharmacy, public transport with 22 stops and four lines, are reachable on foot, reducing dependence on a car for routine errands.
This is not a new-build project. The building was completed in 2011 (indicative) and the apartment is described as in excellent condition, fully furnished and ready for occupancy. There is no construction phase, no staged payments and no delivery risk. Buyers acquire an existing, resale-class property with established community facilities and a settled owners' association, which affects both purchase process and cost structure compared with off-plan alternatives.
The property offers two bedrooms only, which limits its use for larger households. It is a ground-floor apartment, so there is no upper-level view. No energy certificate data is available in the record. The listing's stated payment in Russian roubles is a condition that may restrict financing routes. Note that the beachfront claim in the description conflicts with the geo-data, which places the coast at 1.3–3 km; verification on site is advisable.

This property fits a buyer who wants a ready-to-occupy home with no construction wait, in an urban environment with everyday services within walking distance. The two-bedroom, two-bathroom layout with dressing room and utility room suits a couple, a small family, or an owner using it as a primary residence with occasional guests. It works for someone who values the private pool and terrace for outdoor living but does not require sea views from the living room. The location, a hospital 642 metres away, 19 primary schools and 10 secondary schools within reach, and a train station 0.8 km away, makes it workable for year-round residence and commuting into central Málaga. It is less suitable for buyers seeking a large family home, a hillside or frontline view property, or a quiet residential suburb: this is an urban district with corresponding activity. Buyers financing through a mortgage should also verify the rouble-payment condition with the seller and their bank early in the process, as it may narrow the transaction route. Finally, buyers specifically targeting the New Golden Mile near Estepona should verify the actual location against the geo-data before travelling, as the two do not align.
The record describes the apartment as in excellent condition with marble flooring, a fully fitted kitchen, a separate utility room and full furnishing included. Climate control covers hot and cold air conditioning. The bathrooms include a walk-in shower, visible in the photographic material. The 2011 build date places the property within the era of modern Spanish building regulations, though the specific energy performance certificate is not available in the data and should be requested from the seller, as certificates are legally required for resale transactions in Spain. The outdoor specification is a distinguishing element: a large covered terrace, an open terrace and a private swimming pool are unusual features at ground-floor apartment level and effectively extend the usable living area beyond the 138 m² interior. Community-level facilities, indoor heated pool, spa, gym, 24-hour security and maintained gardens, indicate a residential complex managed to a service standard above a basic urbanisation. Two underground parking spaces and a private storage room are concrete, valued additions. For a fourteen-year-old property, the practical questions a buyer should raise at viewing are the age and service history of the air-conditioning units, the condition of the pool installation and its filtration equipment, the thermal performance of the large glazing on the terrace, and the monthly community fees that fund the staffing and spa facilities, these recurring costs are part of the quality equation and should be quantified before any offer.
The asking price is €640,000 for a completed, furnished 138 m² two-bedroom apartment, equating to roughly €4,640 per m². That is well above the comparable projects listed, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €269,000, although those are new-build or off-plan schemes of different scale and finish. The price here reflects included extras: two underground parking spaces, a storage room, private pool and full furnishing. The stated payment in Russian roubles is an unusual condition; most Spanish transactions settle in euros, and buyers should clarify this with legal counsel before proceeding.
Daily life here, according to the location data, unfolds in a functioning Málaga neighbourhood rather than a resort enclave. A supermarket 73 metres from the door means shopping is a matter of minutes on foot. A pharmacy sits 211 metres away, a hospital 642 metres, and the nearest Cercanías station (Los Prados, 0.8 km) connects the district to Málaga centre and the airport line. Within a two-kilometre radius the record counts 23 restaurants, 27 pharmacies, 7 banks and 19 primary schools, which indicates a residential district with year-round infrastructure rather than a seasonal one. Tourism is present but not dominant relative to the city centre: 24 hotels with roughly 6,900 beds serve the wider area. The terrain is essentially flat, 37 m above sea level with a 1.1 per cent gradient towards the beach, so walking and cycling are practical. Two football pitches and a petanque club lie within 600–1,100 metres. The rhythm of the area is urban: morning errands on foot, train or bus commutes, and evening use of the coast, which begins roughly 1.3–3 km away depending on the access point. The apartment itself, with its covered terrace and private pool, is oriented towards outdoor living on the plot rather than panoramic views, consistent with its ground-floor position. For a buyer used to resort-style quiet, the urban setting, 22 bus stops and four transport lines nearby, should be understood as a characteristic, not a defect.
The surroundings operate as a year-round Málaga neighbourhood. Within two kilometres there are 23 restaurants, 27 pharmacies, 7 banks and 4 cafés, alongside 19 primary and 10 secondary schools, the profile of a residential district rather than a tourist zone. Two health centres serve the area and a hospital lies 642 metres away. Public transport is dense for a coastal location: 22 stops across four lines, plus three Cercanías stations (Los Prados 0.8 km, Guadalhorce 1.6 km, Clínico 1.6 km) connecting to the city centre, the airport corridor and Fuengirola. An electric-vehicle charger is 434 metres away, with further charging points at 1.6–3.9 km. Sports facilities within walking distance include two football grounds and a petanque club. The flat terrain, 37 m elevation, 1.1 per cent slope towards the sea, makes the 3 km route to Playa de la Misericordia a realistic walk or cycle. The district sits under the flight path proximity of the airport corridor, which buyers should assess during an on-site visit at different times of day.
The map shows the property in the Los Prados district of Málaga, west of the city centre, with the Guadalhorce river mouth and the airport corridor nearby. Beaches lie to the south-east, golf courses to the west, and the Cercanías rail line connects the district with the centre and airport. Note that this position differs from the New Golden Mile named in the listing.

Within the Málaga metropolitan frame, this location sits between the city centre and the airport corridor to the west, closer to the Guadalhorce estuary than to the historic centre, and roughly 100 km straight-line from Gibraltar and 387 km from Alicante. Compared with resort zones further west such as Estepona or Marbella referenced in the listing, the position trades resort isolation for urban connectivity: hospitals, schools, rail and a major airport within eight kilometres. Compared with comparable-priced projects in Mijas or Torre del Mar, it offers markedly stronger city access and weaker resort character.
Straight-line distances from the geo-data: Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport 4 km (approximately 7.9 km by road), Gibraltar 100 km, Alicante 387 km. Beaches: Playa de la Malagueta 1.3 km straight-line, Playa de San Andrés 1.8 km, Playa de la Misericordia 3.2 km by road. Golf: Club de Golf de Guadalhorce 5.2 km, Club de Golf Málaga Parador 5.4 km, Campo de Golf Miguel Ángel Jiménez 7.8 km. Marinas: IGY Málaga 5.2 km and Marina Real Club Mediterráneo 5.3 km. Málaga city centre and its high-speed rail connection are reachable via the Cercanías line in under 15 minutes from Los Prados station.

The location records an average annual temperature of 18.7°C with a range of roughly 12–27°C across the year, and 3,888 historical sunshine hours annually, figures consistent with the Málaga coastal plain, among the sunniest in Europe. Elevation is 37 metres with a slope of 1.1 per cent towards the sea, meaning no meaningful climbs on foot or by bicycle. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures at or above 20°C, runs approximately four months; outside that window, the listed indoor heated pool in the complex extends usable swimming to year-round. The nearby viewpoints, Mirador Torre del Atabal (3.2 km), the seabird observatory (4.5 km) and Mirador de Churriana (4.8 km), and the Guadalhorce river mouth nature area provide walking and birdwatching options close to home.

The coastal strip from Playa de la Misericordia through Sacaba to San Andrés consists of wide, sandy urban beaches backed by the Málaga promenade, with chiringuitos and sports facilities typical of the city's western seaboard; specific Blue Flag status should be verified for the current season as designations change annually. Golfers have three courses within 12 km: Club de Golf Málaga Parador (8.2 km), Club de Golf de Guadalhorce (9.4 km) and the Miguel Ángel Jiménez course (11 km). Water sports and boat access run through the two marinas at 5.2–5.3 km. Football, petanque and municipal sports centres are within 0.6–1.1 km, giving daily recreation options that do not depend on the beach or a car.

Flat
At €640,000 for 138 m², this listing prices at roughly €4,640 per m², which sits well above the three comparable schemes in the dataset: Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €269,000. Those comparables are, however, new-build or off-plan apartment developments starting at entry-level sizes; a direct per-m² comparison would require their larger units and specification levels. What differentiates this property is the package rather than the floor plan: a private pool, two parking spaces, a storage room, full furnishing and access to a gated complex with spa, indoor heated pool, gym and 24-hour security, attributes rarely bundled into sub-€300,000 new-build units. Location-wise, the geo-data positions it in urban Málaga rather than the resort corridors of the New Golden Mile, Estepona or Marbella named in the description. That position carries different economics: Málaga city has recorded 3,163 property transactions in the dataset area, supported by year-round demand from a resident population, 19 primary schools, two health centres and rail infrastructure, a fundamentally different demand base from seasonal resort markets. Buyers comparing this with the listed comparables are effectively choosing between resort-adjacent new-build value in the eastern and western Costa del Sol, and a furnished, facility-rich resale apartment in a functional city district eight kilometres from an international airport. The pricing of this unit reflects the included extras and facilities; whether that premium is justified against a new-build alternative is a question of intended use, permanent residence versus second home, rather than of build quality alone.
