This is a completed one-bedroom apartment of 54 m² in Guardamar del Segura, a coastal town of roughly 18,500 inhabitants at the mouth of the river Segura on the southern Costa Blanca. The property dates from 1970, is fully furnished, and is located within the urban fabric of the town, roughly 400-500 metres from the nearest beaches. Amenities such as supermarkets, pharmacies, cafés and restaurants are within walking distance. The building has a lift. The asking price is €130,000. Alicante-Elche airport lies approximately 24 km away in a straight line.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits at the entrance to Guardamar del Segura, in a built-up urban environment. Platja Centre lies roughly 400 metres away and Platja de La Roqueta about 500 metres. A supermarket is within 300 metres and a pharmacy within 250 metres. The surrounding streets contain residential buildings with ground-floor commerce, which shapes daily life in the immediate area.
The dwelling offers one bedroom, one bathroom, 54 m² of living space, fitted wardrobes, air conditioning, WiFi and an alarm system. It is delivered fully furnished. The functional layout suits single occupancy, a couple, or short-stay use. There is no private outdoor space beyond a small balcony visible in the property images, and no private parking is listed.
This is not a new-build project. The building was completed in 1970 and the apartment is in a finished, delivered state. There is no construction phase, payment schedule or planning risk. Buyers purchase an existing resale property, which means transfer costs and legal checks correspond to the Spanish resale process rather than off-plan conditions.
The property does not offer a swimming pool, garden, private parking, storage room, terrace or sea view, according to the listed features. It is a compact 54 m² unit with one bedroom. Energy-efficiency data is not provided. The building's age of 1970 means the buyer should verify building maintenance status and any community obligations through the standard due-diligence process.

This property matches a specific set of circumstances rather than a broad range. It can suit a single buyer or couple seeking a low-cost foothold on the Costa Blanca within walking distance of the sea, where the priority is location and budget rather than space or communal facilities. It can also serve as a lock-up-and-leave holiday unit: the furnished delivery and the urban setting mean it can be used intermittently without maintenance obligations beyond the building community. A third recognisable situation is a rental investment, where the combination of a €130,000 entry price and a coastal town with consistent summer demand shapes the financial picture; buyers should verify local rental regulations themselves. The property fits less well where a family needs a second bedroom, where a pool or garden is expected, or where private parking is required, none of these are present. The 54 m² floor area also limits long-term living for households with more than two people. Buyers sensitive to building age should note the 1970 construction date and factor in a technical survey. The absence of an energy label in the listing data means this must be requested from the seller, as Spanish law requires one for sale. In short, the property is a match for budget-driven, location-first buyers; it is a poor match for buyers seeking space, resort amenities or modern construction standards.
The apartment is delivered fully furnished and equipped, which is confirmed both in the listing features and the interior images. The photographs show a bathroom with a shower, toilet and seashell-pattern curtain, a bedroom with nautical decor and a balcony view, a hallway with a hat rack and wall art, and a balcony oriented towards the street. The documented technical features are: air conditioning, fitted wardrobes, WiFi readiness and an alarm system. The building has a lift and fire-extinguisher equipment in the communal hallway, as shown in the images. No information is available on the heating system beyond air conditioning, the state of the electrical installation, the window frames and glazing, or the thermal insulation of the 1970 building envelope. These elements typically determine energy performance and comfort in winter months, and the missing energy label means buyers cannot currently compare running costs with newer stock. Relative to the comparison projects, Palangre Beach in Torrevieja from €160,000, Edificio Sun & Center from €169,000 and Oasis Laguna 2 in El Raso from €227,000, this apartment predates modern building regulations. Newer developments in that set generally include contemporary insulation standards, B or C energy ratings and communal facilities. The compensating factor here is the price point and the walk-in urban location. A buyer should treat a technical inspection, an energy performance certificate and a review of the building's community minutes (especially any planned major works, such as facade or roof renovation common in buildings of this age) as standard steps before purchase.
The asking price is €130,000 for a completed, furnished one-bedroom apartment of 54 m², which works out at roughly €2,400 per square metre. Within the comparison set, new-build or key-ready alternatives in Torrevieja start at €160,000-169,000 for similar formats, and newer developments in Urbanización El Raso start from approximately €227,000. This positions the property at the lower end of the local market, consistent with its 1970 building date and compact size. Purchase costs for a Spanish resale property typically add roughly 10-13 per cent in taxes and fees, depending on the buyer's situation.
Daily life around this apartment is structured by the town itself rather than by a resort complex. The front door opens onto ordinary Guardamar streets: a supermarket within roughly 300 metres, a pharmacy at 250 metres, and a dense layer of cafés, restaurants and shops within a two-kilometre radius, the surrounding data lists some 62 restaurants, 30 cafés, 8 banks and 6 pharmacies in that zone. That density means most errands are done on foot, and the practical rhythm of the day becomes short walking loops rather than car trips. The beach functions almost as an extension of the neighbourhood. Platja Centre and Platja de La Roqueta are four to five hundred metres away, close enough for an evening walk or a morning swim without planning around it. The route towards the sea involves a slope of around 7 per cent, described in the location data as steep, so the return walk involves a modest incline. The apartment itself is compact: a living area, one bedroom, one bathroom and a small balcony with a street view. The building has a lift, which matters given the age of the block. The interior is delivered furnished, with nautical-style decor visible in the listing images. Guardamar has a year-round population and municipal services, so the town does not empty outside the summer months in the way some resort urbanisations do. Public transport consists of eight lines with around fifty stops in the area, which supports car-free living for local trips. For travel further afield, the AP-7 and N-332 corridors connect Guardamar with Torrevieja to the south and Alicante to the north. The nearest hospital is 7.7 km away, and Alicante-Elche airport is roughly a 30-35 minute drive.
The environment is urban and compact. Within a two-kilometre radius, the data records 62 restaurants, 30 cafés, 8 banks, 6 pharmacies and 4 dentists, which indicates a fully functioning town centre rather than a seasonal resort strip. Daily shopping is practical: the nearest supermarket is about 300 metres away, and a pharmacy 250 metres. Healthcare infrastructure includes the municipal sports centre facilities, Gimnasio Olimpus at 0.6 km, the heated Manel Estiarte pool at 1.0 km and Palau Sant Jaume at 1.1 km, plus a municipal swimming pool and the general hospital 7.7 km away. The town's pine forest, planted historically to stabilise the dunes at the mouth of the Segura, runs along the inland side of the coast and provides shaded walking and cycling routes. The marina, Port Esportiu Marina de les Dunes, is 3.2 km away. Public transport covers the town with eight lines and around fifty stops, which supports day-to-day mobility without a car, though regional travel is easier with one. The nearest electric-vehicle charging point listed is 4.2 km away, with an Iberdrola station at 3.9 km, a consideration for EV owners given the absence of private parking at the property. Outside the summer months, Guardamar retains its year-round population of roughly 18,500, so services, shops and restaurants continue operating through winter.
The map shows the apartment at the entrance to Guardamar del Segura, with the Blue Flag beaches of Centre and La Roqueta a few hundred metres to the east and the pine forest and dunes stretching along the coast. Supermarkets and pharmacies cluster within a 300-metre radius, while the hospital, golf courses and Alicante airport appear at greater distance. The map is a fair reflection of the property's urban, walkable setting on the Costa Blanca.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Guardamar del Segura sits on the southern Costa Blanca, between Santa Pola to the north and Torrevieja to the south, at the point where the river Segura reaches the Mediterranean. The town is roughly 24 km from Alicante airport and 35 km from the city of Alicante itself. Within the local market, it positions itself as a mid-sized, year-round municipality with a resident population, distinguishing it from the purpose-built urbanisations of Orihuela Costa and the denser tourist core of Torrevieja. The nearest comparable property markets lie in Torrevieja and Urbanización El Raso, both to the south.
Beaches are the closest amenity: Platja Centre at roughly 400 m, Platja de La Roqueta at 500 m and Platja Babilònia at about 950 m. Alicante-Elche airport is approximately 24 km in a straight line, realistically a 30-35 minute drive; Valencia airport is 157 km away and Málaga around 374 km. Golf requires a car: Club de Golf La Finca is 12 km away, Club de Golf Villamartín 18 km and the Elche golf school 20 km. The hospital is 7.7 km from the property. Torrevieja lies to the south and Alicante to the north, both reachable via the N-332 and AP-7. Within the town itself, the supermarket, pharmacy, cafés and restaurants are on foot, and the EV charging infrastructure sits just under 4 km away.

Guardamar records an average annual temperature of 18.7°C with a range of roughly 12-26°C across the year, and a historical figure of around 3,843 sunshine hours per year, high even by Spanish coastal standards. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts about five months, roughly June through October. The town lies at 33 metres above sea level, and the route from the property to the beach involves an average slope of 7 per cent, which is steep in sections; the return walk from Platja Centre involves a noticeable incline. The most distinctive natural feature is the pine forest along the dunes at the mouth of the river Segura, which separates the urban front from the 11-kilometre sand beach and provides shade and wind shelter. This green belt moderates the summer heat on the coastal strip and creates a walking and cycling corridor unusual for a town of this size.

Guardamar holds five Blue Flag beaches: Centre, De Vivers, Del Moncaio, La Roqueta and Ortigues-Campo. The three nearest to the property, Centre, La Roqueta and Babilònia, lie between 400 and 950 metres away, all reachable on foot. The beaches are backed by dunes and the pine forest rather than a continuous promenade of high-rise blocks, which affects the character of the waterfront. Sports facilities within about a kilometre include Gimnasio Olimpus (0.6 km), the heated Manel Estiarte swimming pool (1.0 km) and Palau Sant Jaume (1.1 km), plus a municipal pool at 1.1 km, meaning year-round swimming does not depend on the sea. Golf is a driving activity: La Finca at 12 km, Villamartín at 18 km and the Elche golf school at 20 km. The Marina de les Dunes port at 3.2 km covers mooring and nautical services. Viewpoints at El Moncayo (2.2 km) and along the coast provide walking destinations.

Within its immediate competitive set, this apartment is the lowest-priced and oldest option. Palangre Beach in Torrevieja starts at €160,000, Edificio Sun & Center, described as key-ready, starts at €169,000, and Oasis Laguna 2 Phase II in Urbanización El Raso starts at €227,000. The price gap of €30,000 to nearly €100,000 reflects three factors: construction age, format and setting. The Torrevieja alternatives are newer builds in a larger, more tourist-intensive town with a busier summer season and a stronger rental market, but also more seasonal pressure on infrastructure. The El Raso option sits in an inland urbanisation near the La Finca golf area, trading beach proximity for newer construction and communal facilities, a fundamentally different trade-off from a town-centre location 400 metres from the sand. Guardamar itself occupies a middle position in the southern Costa Blanca market. It is a working municipality of about 18,500 inhabitants with year-round services, a hospital within 8 km and eight public transport lines, which distinguishes it from resort urbanisations that thin out in winter. Its coastline, backed by dunes and the Segura pine forest rather than continuous high-rise frontage, gives the waterfront a different character from Torrevieja's denser seafront. For a buyer weighing this apartment against the alternatives, the comparison is essentially between entry price and location on one side, and modern construction, energy performance and communal amenities on the other. At €130,000 for a furnished unit near the centre of a year-round town, the property competes on cost and walkability; it does not compete on specification. Buyers comparing per-square-metre costs should also note that resale purchase costs and the absence of an energy label, mandatory for Spanish sales, will need to be resolved during the process, while the newer comparison projects typically publish their ratings and include warranty coverage under Spanish building-guarantee rules.
