The property faces west, offering a private terrace and a side garden, and includes modern amenities such as air conditioning and a fireplace.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is situated in an urban environment in La Duquesa, approximately 592 meters (as the crow flies) from the beach. Essential amenities are within walking distance, including a supermarket at 172 meters and numerous dining options. The proximity to Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa (300 meters) ensures the immediate area remains active. Being a corner unit within the complex provides additional privacy and outdoor space compared to adjacent properties.
This project addresses the need for low-maintenance living with outdoor access and immediate amenities. The layout of three bedrooms and two bathrooms suits family use or serves as a spacious holiday home. Features such as air conditioning, a fireplace, and double glazing contribute to year-round comfort. The communal pool and private terrace are key recreational assets for residents.
Given the 'Ready' status and the 'Recently Renovated' condition, this is not a new development project. However, the technical condition has been modernized. There are no construction projections or completion dates applicable; the property is available for immediate occupancy. The recent renovation includes updates to the kitchen and finishes, extending the lifespan of the technical installations.
The property does not offer direct pool views from the living room. The west orientation means the garden and front of the house receive mainly afternoon and evening sun, with less morning sun. With a plot size of 24 m², the garden is modest. As a corner house in a small complex of 13 units, communal spaces are limited to the pool area.

This property suits buyers seeking a home that is immediately habitable without the need for renovation works. The combination of three bedrooms and proximity to the marina makes it suitable for families wanting access to both the beach and facilities. It is also an option for investors looking for a rental property in an area with tourism demand, given its location near Puerto Deportivo. Those who prefer a quiet, isolated environment without traffic or tourist activity may find the urban surroundings distracting. The property is less suitable for those requiring a large garden, as the outdoor space is limited to a terrace and a side yard.
The home has been recently renovated, evidenced by specifications such as a 'fully fitted kitchen' and modern climate control (air conditioning for heating and cooling). The technical condition is listed as 'Excellent'. Double glazing has been used, contributing to insulation and soundproofing. The finish includes fitted wardrobes for extra storage and a fireplace for ambient heating during cooler months. A solarium provides additional outdoor space. The complex is secured by a gate (Gated Complex), enhancing privacy and safety.
The asking price for this home starts at €315,000. Considering the recent renovation and the walking distance to the coast, this price point aligns with the regional market for refurbished townhouses in Manilva. The pricing reflects the ready-to-move-in condition. There is no variation in unit types available based on the data; this is a specific resale object. Comparable properties in the region that have not been recently renovated are often priced lower, while new build projects in towns like Fuengirola are significantly more expensive.
La Duquesa is a residential coastal town that avoids the intensity of larger cities while providing necessary daily amenities. The immediate neighborhood is urban in character; one can walk to the supermarket (172 m) and various restaurants. The presence of 33 restaurants within a 2-kilometer radius indicates a vibrant dining scene, contributing to a lively atmosphere, particularly during the tourist season. For the resident, this means a car is not strictly necessary for basic groceries. The proximity to the marina (300 m) offers opportunities for walks along the waterfront. The complex itself is quiet due to its limited size, offering a retreat from the surrounding streets. The west-facing terrace is practical for those who enjoy the evening sun over the sea.
The living environment is characterized by the immediate proximity to the Mediterranean Sea and the La Duquesa marina. With an average of 3,845 sunshine hours per year, the climate is a major factor in daily life. The swimming season lasts approximately 5 months. The residential complex itself is small-scale but part of a larger urban area with diverse facilities. The slope to the beach is very slight (2.3%), meaning the terrain is flat and walks to the sea are accessible to all ages. The elevation of 14 meters above sea level ensures exposure to sea breezes without being situated on cliffs. The presence of three primary schools and one secondary school in the area suggests the location is also permanently inhabited by families.
The map displays the immediate surroundings of the property in La Duquesa. You can see the distance to the coastline (approx. 600 meters) and the marina (300 meters). The road structure in the vicinity is predominantly flat (2.3% slope), indicating favorable walkability to the beach.
La Duquesa is located in the western Costa del Sol, in the municipality of Manilva. The area lies near the border with the province of Cádiz. Regionally, the location is unique due to its direct positioning on the marina and coast, without the high-rise density of cities like Marbella or Fuengirola. Consequently, pricing is often more favorable here than in the east, while the level of amenities is comparable. The area is well accessible via the AP-7 motorway. Its proximity to Gibraltar (25 km) makes it interesting for those working in that area or utilizing the Gibraltar airport.
The strategic location in La Duquesa results in high walkability. The nearest beach (La Duquesa) is 592 meters away. For longer distances, a car is required. Málaga Airport (AGP) is located 74 kilometers away as the crow flies, and Gibraltar (GIB) at 25 kilometers. This provides two options for international flights. An EV charging point is available within 10 kilometers. Public transport is reasonably represented with 29 stops and 5 lines nearby, but for reaching specific golf courses like Finca Cortesín (4.3 km), private transport is more practical.

The price of €315,000 for this townhouse in La Duquesa is attractive compared to new construction projects in more easterly coastal towns. For comparable new builds in projects like Astra Homes in Fuengirola, prices often start above €360,000. Even in Mijas (Arosa) and Fuengirola (Waterfall Residences), entry prices are significantly higher (€490,000 to €720,000). La Duquesa thus offers a value alternative for buyers not strictly tied to the costs of new construction. The difference from these projects, however, lies in the character; La Duquesa is less mass-touristy than central Fuengirola and quieter than Marbella, yet offers an international mix due to the marina. In terms of amenities, La Duquesa is local in nature, while larger cities like Estepona offer more urban facilities a short distance away.
