A two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment of 72 m² in Los Boliches, Fuengirola, completed in 2022 and available key-ready at a fixed asking price of €379,000. The property stands 300 metres from Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal and a three-minute walk from Los Boliches train station, placing both the sea and regional rail connections within immediate reach. The apartment has an open-plan fitted kitchen, air conditioning (hot/cold), a southwest-facing terrace and solar water heating, and sits in a building with a lift. The wider neighbourhood offers an unusually dense concentration of services, with 71 restaurants, 8 pharmacies and 26 cafés within two kilometres.
At a fixed price of €379,000 for 72 m², this apartment prices at roughly €5,260 per square metre, a level consistent with frontline-adjacent locations in central Fuengirola and notably above inland new-build alternatives. The comparable projects illustrate the trade-off. Lantana Residencial in Mijas starts from €205,000 and Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, both substantially cheaper per square metre, but each sits further from the sea and from the rail corridor, and both involve buying off-plan or new-build with associated delivery timelines. Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona, from €321,000, offers more modern communal specifications in a quieter, less urbanised municipality, though Estepona lacks the train connection that Los Boliches has, a material difference for airport access and car-free living. What the higher price here buys is position and immediacy: a 2022 building with warranty remaining, a beach 100 metres away, and a station 300 metres from the door in an established town with 15 primary schools, 10 secondary schools and 3 health centres. The local market records 2,169 housing transactions per year, indicating active liquidity, relevant for eventual resale. Buyers choosing between these options are effectively weighing coastal walkability and transport against space, communal facilities and newer design per euro spent. For a household prioritising convenience and year-round liveability over floor area, the Los Boliches position is difficult to replicate at the comparable price points; for those seeking maximum property for the budget, the inland alternatives deliver more square metres and newer amenities at the cost of location.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment lies in the coastal strip of Los Boliches, at roughly five metres above sea level with a flat gradient of one per cent towards Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal, 100 metres away as the crow flies. Torreblanca train station is 300 metres from the door, and the centres of Fuengirola, Málaga and Marbella each lie about 25 kilometres distant in a straight line.
The layout serves two full-time residents or a couple with regular guests: two bedrooms, two complete bathrooms and an open-plan kitchen integrated with the living area. The southwest terrace extends the living space outdoors, while the lift, air conditioning and drinkable water supply cover basic daily comfort. Solar water heating reduces hot-water running costs.
This is an existing home rather than an off-plan development: construction finished in 2022, and the property is delivered key-ready. As a recently completed building, the structural warranty from the builder has eight years remaining, which transfers certainty about build quality that older resale stock cannot offer. No construction risk or delivery delay applies.
The property does not include a private pool, garden, private parking space or storage room according to the available data. At 72 m², the living area is compact by villa standards and suits households of up to four. The corner position faces a residential street rather than open sea, so views are urban. No information is available about communal facilities beyond the lift.
The profile fits several recognisable situations. A couple seeking a low-maintenance coastal base within walking distance of the sea and the train will find the 72 m² layout and corner position adequate without surplus space to maintain. Buyers relocating year-round benefit from the residential character of Los Boliches, schools, health centres and permanent services are present, not just holiday infrastructure. Frequent flyers value the location: Málaga-Costa del Sol airport lies about 16 kilometres away in a straight line, with a direct rail link from the nearby station. Investors considering a rental asset can weigh the short-term rental possibility against the year-round demand generated by the neighbourhood's permanent population and 2,169 annual housing transactions in the local market. The property is less suited to buyers who want space for a large family, a private garden or pool, or dedicated parking within the purchase, those needs would require looking elsewhere or budgeting separately. Nor does it suit anyone seeking panoramic sea views; the terrace faces a residential streetscape. What the situation does reward is a preference for convenience: everything from the beach to the pharmacy to the train sits within a short walk, and the flat terrain removes any concern about hills common elsewhere on the coast.
The building dates from 2022, which places it under the current Spanish technical building code, a standard that requires improved thermal insulation, mechanical ventilation and accessible common areas compared with pre-2010 construction. The apartment's specification reflects a contemporary finish level: an open-plan kitchen with fitted appliances integrated into the living space, hot/cold air conditioning throughout, and a private southwest-facing terrace. Solar water heating is installed, which lowers hot-water energy costs and reduces dependence on electric or gas heating for that purpose. Utility connections include mains electricity and drinkable water. The interior images show a minimalist bedroom with a white bed, a modern kitchen-dining area, and communal areas with a glass-railed staircase and a functioning lift with fire-safety equipment visible, details consistent with a recently completed, well-maintained building. The corner position adds a second aspect to the dwelling, improving cross-ventilation and natural light compared with single-aspect units. The condition is recorded as excellent, and the remaining eight-year structural warranty from the builder provides formal recourse against latent construction defects, a protection that distinguishes a 2022 build from older resale stock. No data is available on floor materials, window glazing or the energy performance certificate, so buyers should verify these elements during a viewing. Equally, the absence of a private parking space and storage room in the data means those items should be confirmed as not included before purchase.
The asking price is fixed at €379,000 for the complete apartment, 72 m², two bedrooms and two bathrooms, with no tiered price list, since this is a single existing home completed in 2022 rather than a development with multiple units. At this price the property competes with new-build apartments elsewhere on the western Costa del Sol offered from roughly €205,000 to €321,000, though those projects sit further inland or in other municipalities. The 2022 completion means the buyer takes over a nearly new property with eight years of structural warranty remaining. Availability is immediate: the home is key-ready, so no construction phase or delivery waiting period applies. Short-term rental use is flagged as possible, subject to the applicable licensing regime in Fuengirola.
Daily life here is organised around walkability. The beach is effectively at the end of the street, Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal lies 100 metres away as the crow flies, which makes a morning swim or an evening walk along the shoreline a routine activity rather than a planned outing. Playa de los Boliches and Playa de Torreblanca are each about 1.3 kilometres away for variation. Groceries, banks and everyday services are concentrated within a two-kilometre radius: eight pharmacies, seven banks and 26 cafés cover the routine errands, and the description places a supermarket including El Corte Inglés within easy walking distance. Torreblanca station, 300 metres away, connects to Fuengirola's centre and onwards to Málaga and the airport, so a car is not required for regional travel. The area is genuinely residential rather than a resort enclave. Tourism data shows 29 hotels and 9,381 beds in the wider district, which means the neighbourhood is busier in summer and quieter from late autumn to spring, a pattern worth factoring in for anyone seeking year-round calm. Fifteen primary schools, ten secondary schools and three health centres within the area indicate a permanent, family-oriented population behind the seasonal overlay. The southwest-facing terrace receives afternoon and evening sun, which suits outdoor dining from spring through autumn; mornings indoors remain bright without direct exposure. For a buyer wanting a base where the sea, the train and the shops all sit within a short walk, the combination is coherent and practical.
The immediate environment is dense, flat and service-rich. Within two kilometres the area counts 71 restaurants, 26 cafés, 8 pharmacies, 7 banks and 2 dentists, a concentration that makes daily life feasible entirely on foot. Education and healthcare infrastructure is substantial for a coastal district: 15 primary schools, 10 secondary schools and 3 health centres serve the resident population, indicating that Los Boliches functions as a year-round town rather than a seasonal resort. Transport is a defining strength. Torreblanca station is 300 metres away on foot, with Los Boliches and Carvajal stations at 1.2 and 1.3 kilometres respectively, giving three rail access points within walking distance. The local network includes 8 public transport lines and 50 stops. The coastal path connects the beaches along the front, and the terrain is entirely flat, elevation is about five metres above sea level with a one per cent gradient, so walking and cycling are effortless. Recreation within easy reach includes Karting Mijas at 1.6 kilometres, a tennis and country club at 1.8 kilometres, a lawn bowls club at 2.2 kilometres and the public Piscina María Peláez swimming pool at 2.4 kilometres. The Fuengirola marina lies 2.6 kilometres away. The trade-off of this density is summer bustle: with 29 hotels in the district, July and August bring crowds to the beaches and streets, while the off-season from November to March is markedly quieter.
The map shows the apartment's position between the shore and the rail line: Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal 100 metres to the south, Torreblanca station 300 metres to the east, and the dense service core of Los Boliches and Fuengirola extending westwards. The terrain is flat throughout the area shown.

Los Boliches occupies a middle position on the Costa del Sol: 25 kilometres in a straight line from Málaga city and the same distance from Marbella, with Benalmádena and Torremolinos between. This centrality, combined with direct rail access to the airport, makes it one of the better-connected residential districts on the coast for buyers who travel frequently. Compared with the resort-dominated zones to the east and the villa districts to the west, Los Boliches retains a working town character, permanent population, schools, health centres, overlaid with tourism. Algeciras lies 88 kilometres to the southwest, beyond the range of daily trips.
The beach is the closest amenity of all: Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal lies 100 metres away as the crow flies, roughly a one-minute walk, with Playa de los Boliches and Playa de Torreblanca each about 1.3 kilometres along the coast. Málaga-Costa del Sol airport is approximately 16 kilometres away in a straight line and is reachable directly by train from the nearby station, which is a practical advantage for international owners; Gibraltar airport lies about 81 kilometres away. Málaga city and Marbella are both 25 kilometres distant in a straight line, in opposite directions, giving access to two of the region's principal urban centres. Golf requires a short drive: Campo Los Lagos is 5.6 kilometres away, and Golf Benalmádena Pitch & Putt and Campo Los Olivos lie around 6.1 kilometres distant. Public transport coverage is strong for a coastal location, eight lines and fifty stops, but the train is the backbone: Torreblanca station at 300 metres connects westwards to Fuengirola centre and eastwards through Los Boliches, Carvajal, Benalmádena, Torremolinos and on to Málaga airport and city. A car is useful for golf, marina visits and inland trips but is not needed for the beach, shopping or city access. The Tesla Supercharger in Fuengirola, 2.2 kilometres away, covers electric-vehicle charging needs.

The climate data points to a typical Mediterranean coastal regime: average monthly temperatures range from 14°C in the coolest months to 26°C at the summer peak, with an annual average of 18.7°C. Winters are mild enough for outdoor living year-round, while summer heat is moderated by the seafront position. The swimming season extends to about five months with water temperatures at or above 20°C, running roughly from June into October. The elevation of five metres and the flat one per cent gradient to the beach mean no stairs or slopes on any walking route, relevant for older residents and for everyday comfort in summer heat. The southwest orientation of the terrace aligns with the climate: it captures afternoon and evening sun, which extends usable terrace hours from early spring to late autumn, though midsummer afternoons will be warm and shade-dependent. Open-air viewpoints within a short drive, Mirador Hermanos Núñez Andreu at 4.7 kilometres and Mirador Juan Antonio Gómez Alarcón at 4.9 kilometres, indicate accessible elevated terrain inland for walks and views, contrasting with the flat coastal strip where the apartment sits. Rainfall concentrates in the winter half-year, keeping the summer dry.

Three beaches sit within 1.3 kilometres of the door. Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal, 100 metres away as the crow flies, functions as the local daily beach; Playa de los Boliches, 1.3 kilometres west, is the larger urban beach backed by the neighbourhood's promenade, restaurants and chiringuitos; Playa de Torreblanca lies at the same distance eastwards. This stretch of coast carries Blue Flag designations in normal years, though the current status of each individual beach should be verified seasonally. Beyond the sand, the recreational offer is broad for a district of this size. Sports facilities within about two kilometres include Karting Mijas, a tennis and country club, a lawn bowls club and a public swimming pool. The Fuengirola marina, 2.6 kilometres away, adds sailing, boat trips and waterfront dining. Golfers have three options within a short drive, Campo Los Lagos at 5.6 kilometres, plus a pitch & putt course and Campo Los Olivos around 6.1 kilometres, sufficient for regular play without long journeys, though the celebrated golf concentration of Marbella and Estepona lies further afield. The coastal promenade itself is the most-used recreational asset: flat, continuous and lit, it supports walking, running and cycling as daily routine rather than occasional exercise.
