This three-bedroom apartment is situated in Los Boliches, a coastal district of Fuengirola on the Costa del Sol, approximately 100 metres from Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal as the crow flies. The 80 m² home was completed in 1971 and is offered key-ready with a fixed asking price of €400,000. Located on the first floor of a building with a lift, the property includes a private terrace, a fully fitted kitchen, air conditioning and a utility room. Torreblanca train station lies roughly 300 metres away, connecting the area directly with Málaga and Fuengirola. The A-7 motorway is easily accessible by car.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Los Boliches is a built-up coastal district within Fuengirola, positioned at sea level with a flat gradient towards the shore. The nearest beach, Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal, lies approximately 100 metres away in a direct line, while Playa de los Boliches sits about 1.3 km from the property. Torreblanca station is within walking distance at roughly 300 metres, and the district is served by eight public transport lines with around fifty stops.
The apartment offers three bedrooms and one bathroom across 80 m² of living space, oriented towards family use or long-term rental. A private terrace provides outdoor space, and a separate utility room accommodates laundry equipment. The kitchen is fully fitted and the home is delivered fully furnished, which reduces the practical threshold for immediate occupancy. Air conditioning and WiFi are installed. The single bathroom is a functional limitation for larger households.
This is not a new-build project. The property is an existing apartment completed in 1971 and described as being in good condition, offered key-ready for immediate transfer. Buyers should expect construction standards and layouts typical of early-1970s Spanish residential buildings rather than contemporary new-build specifications. The building includes a lift, and the apartment is located on the first floor, which limits stair use.
The property offers one bathroom only, which restricts suitability for households needing multiple sanitary facilities. There is no mention of private parking, a storage room, a communal pool, or a garden in the available data. The 80 m² footprint is compact for a three-bedroom configuration. Built in 1971, the property will not carry modern energy-efficiency standards or new-build warranties, and renovation needs may arise over time.
This property fits a recognisable set of buyer situations. It suits buyers seeking a low-maintenance coastal base where a car is optional: the train station 300 metres away, the beach at 100 metres and everyday amenities within walking distance together remove most daily driving. It also matches the profile of a rental investment. Los Boliches records steady demand for both holiday and long-term lets, and a furnished, key-ready three-bedroom unit near the station can be placed on the rental market without renovation works. Buyers relocating year-round benefit from the district's full infrastructure: schools, health centres, pharmacies and supermarkets all sit within a short radius. Conversely, the apartment is less suitable for certain situations. Households requiring two or more bathrooms will find the single bathroom a structural constraint. Buyers wanting new-build energy performance, a communal pool, private parking or extensive outdoor space should note that none of these form part of the offering. Those seeking a quiet, secluded setting should also consider that Los Boliches is an urban, tourist-adjacent neighbourhood where summer activity levels rise considerably. For buyers whose priorities are location, walkability and rental practicality over space and modern construction standards, the property's characteristics align well.
The apartment dates from 1971 and is presented in good condition, fully furnished and ready for occupancy. The kitchen has been fitted with modern units, photographic material shows white cabinetry with black worktops, and the property includes a fully fitted kitchen described as independent from the main living space. Bedrooms are equipped with wardrobes, including mirrored fronts, which adds usable storage within the compact footprint. Climate control is provided through installed air conditioning, and WiFi is connected. The private terrace opens from the living room, and a separate utility patio handles laundry requirements, a practical feature that keeps household tasks out of the main living areas. As a first-floor unit with lift access, vertical circulation is straightforward. In structural terms, buyers should approach a 1971 building with realistic expectations: construction methods of that period differ from current standards in insulation, window performance and electrical installation. No data is available on recent upgrades to wiring, plumbing or the building envelope, so a technical survey before purchase is the standard precaution for resale property of this age in Spain. The overall picture is a maintained and habitable home with functional finishes, rather than a renovated or newly upgraded unit.
The apartment is offered at a fixed asking price of €400,000. This is an existing, key-ready property, so there is no price list or range of unit types; the stated price applies to this specific home. At €400,000 for 80 m², the price reflects roughly €5,000 per square metre, a level consistent with well-located second-hand apartments in central Fuengirola near the beach and train line. The property is delivered fully furnished with a fitted kitchen, air conditioning and a utility room. As a resale transaction, the price is subject to negotiation in the usual Spanish manner. Availability is immediate upon completion of the standard purchase process.
Daily life around this apartment is shaped by an unusually walkable urban setting. The beach at Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal is roughly 100 metres away in a straight line, meaning the sea is effectively part of the everyday environment rather than a destination requiring planning. Mornings can begin with a walk along the Paseo Marítimo, and the district's concentration of cafés and restaurants, 26 cafés and 71 restaurants within two kilometres, makes eating out a routine option rather than an occasional treat. The train plays a central role in the rhythm of the neighbourhood. Torreblanca station sits approximately 300 metres from the front door, and the Cercanías line runs along the coast towards Fuengirola centre in one direction and Málaga in the other. This reduces dependence on a car for commuting, airport access or excursions. Practical errands are well covered: eight pharmacies, seven banks and two dentists operate within a two-kilometre radius. Families have access to fifteen primary schools and ten secondary schools in the area, and three health centres serve the district. The apartment itself supports a straightforward indoor-outdoor routine, with a private terrace adjoining the living area and a utility patio for household tasks. The urban setting is active rather than quiet, Los Boliches is a functioning residential and tourist neighbourhood with 29 hotels and roughly 9,400 tourist beds nearby, so summer months bring noticeably more footfall and traffic. Outside the high season, the district returns to a steadier local pace.
The immediate surroundings are dense with daily-life infrastructure. Within a two-kilometre radius, residents have access to 71 restaurants, 26 cafés, 8 pharmacies, 7 banks and 2 dental practices, a level of provision typical of Fuengirola's continuous urban front. The beach at Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal, roughly 100 metres as the crow flies, anchors the outdoor routine, with Playa de los Boliches and Playa de Torreblanca both around 1.3 km away, giving alternatives within a short walk along the coast. Sports facilities cluster nearby: Karting Mijas at 1.6 km, Algarrobo Tennis & Country Club at 1.8 km, and Mijas Lawn Bowls Club at 2.2 km. Piscina María Peláez, a public swimming pool, lies 2.4 km away. The Torreblanca train station, at approximately 300 metres, connects the district to Fuengirola centre and onwards to Málaga and the airport. Eight bus lines and around fifty stops cover local circulation. For electric vehicle owners, the Fuengirola Supercharger sits 2.2 km away. The flat terrain, the district sits at roughly 5 metres elevation with a 1% gradient to the sea, makes walking and cycling realistic for most daily trips.
The map shows the apartment's position in Los Boliches, with the beach front immediately to the south and the coastal railway line just behind the property. Torreblanca station appears a short walk to the east, and the built-up corridor of Fuengirola extends along the shore in both directions, with Marbella to the west and Málaga to the east.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Los Boliches occupies a position between Fuengirola's town centre and the quieter Torreblanca district, on the coastal rail line that threads the Costa del Sol's urban corridor. Málaga city and its airport lie roughly 25 km and 16 km respectively to the east, while Marbella sits about 25 km to the west. This places the property within commuting distance of the provincial capital while keeping the Marbella coast accessible for day trips. Within Fuengirola, the district is distinguished by its residential density combined with full tourist infrastructure, a combination that supports year-round occupancy rather than purely seasonal use.
Accessibility is one of the strongest documented characteristics of this location. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport lies approximately 16 km away in a straight line, reachable by train from the nearby station or by car via the A-7 motorway, which is described as easily accessible from the property. Gibraltar Airport is roughly 81 km away, a distance that places it within day-trip range by car. Regionally, both Marbella and Málaga city lie about 25 km as the crow flies, in opposite directions along the coast, Marbella westwards with roughly 148,000 inhabitants, Málaga eastwards as the provincial capital with around 579,000. The train stations at Torreblanca (0.3 km), Los Boliches (1.2 km) and Carvajal (1.3 km) provide redundancy in rail access. Golfers can reach Campo Los Lagos at 5.6 km, Golf Benalmádena Pitch & Putt at 6.1 km and Campo Los Olivos at 6.1 km. Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola, the town's marina, lies 2.6 km away. Beach access requires no transport at all.

The local climate is characteristic of the western Costa del Sol: average monthly temperatures range from 14°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer, with an annual average of 18.7°C. The swimming season extends to about five months per year with sea temperatures at or above 20°C, which in practice runs from late May into October. Rainfall is concentrated in the cooler half of the year, leaving long dry summers. The terrain is flat: the district sits at approximately 5 metres above sea level with a gradient of only 1% towards the beach, so there are no slopes to negotiate on foot. Elevated viewpoints such as Mirador Hermanos Núñez Andreu (4.7 km) and Mirador Juan Antonio Gómez Alarcón (4.9 km) offer hillside panoramas a short drive inland, towards the Mijas mountains. For residents, the practical consequence is a lifestyle centred on outdoor use for most of the year, with terrace living realistic from spring through autumn.

Beach access is the defining recreational asset of this address. Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal begins roughly 100 metres from the property as the crow flies, while Playa de los Boliches and Playa de Torreblanca both sit about 1.3 km away, giving residents a choice of urban and semi-urban stretches within easy walking distance. The Fuengirola seafront promenade connects these beaches continuously, supporting walking, running and cycling routines along the shore. Beyond the beaches, the area offers a varied sports infrastructure: karting at 1.6 km, a tennis and country club at 1.8 km, a lawn bowls club at 2.2 km and a public swimming pool at 2.4 km. Golf is available within a short drive, with Campo Los Lagos (5.6 km), Golf Benalmádena Pitch & Putt (6.1 km) and Campo Los Olivos (6.1 km) providing three options for regular play. Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola, at 2.6 km, adds sailing and waterfront dining to the recreational mix.

Set against current new-build offerings in the wider region, this resale apartment occupies a different market segment. Comparable new developments include Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €321,000). Each of those projects offers modern construction, current energy standards and communal amenities at entry prices below this apartment's €400,000 fixed asking price, but at greater distances from the beach, the train line and Fuengirola's urban core. The value proposition here is location density rather than specification. Torre del Mar and Estepona sit respectively east and west of the central Costa del Sol, with quieter surroundings and longer travel times to Málaga airport; Mijas offers a more residential and, in parts, inland character. Los Boliches by contrast delivers immediate beach access at roughly 100 metres, a station 300 metres away, and the full service infrastructure of a town of Fuengirola's size, 29 hotels, three health centres, and a two-kilometre amenity radius covering restaurants, pharmacies and schools. The local market records around 2,169 housing transactions per year, indicating an active resale market with reasonable liquidity for future exit. Median provincial income of €16,450 provides context for the domestic rental segment. Buyers weighing this property against new-build alternatives are effectively choosing between dated-but-located construction in a walkable coastal district and contemporary specification further from the shore.
