This two-bedroom apartment is situated in the La Quinta district of Málaga, offering 112 m² of living space. Completed in 2020, the residence is positioned 2.3 kilometres from Playa de la Misericordia. The property features a communal pool and lift access within a well-maintained urbanisation. The location provides a balance between city proximity and coastal access, with the historic centre and the airport both within a short drive.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The development is located in the western sector of Málaga, characterised by a mix of residential developments and commercial zones. It lies between the River Guadalhorce nature reserve to the west and the expanding Teatinos university district to the north, serving as a transition zone between the city and the coast.
The property addresses functional requirements for year-round living or long-term residence. It includes a private garage and storage room, mitigating space constraints common in urban apartments. The presence of underfloor heating and air conditioning caters to the seasonal climate variations of the region.
Construction of the project was finalised in 2020, categorising it as a resale property within a modern development. The building fabric is contemporary, adhering to regulations of that period. All communal facilities, including the pool and gymnasium, are fully established and operational.
This project does not offer a private garden or detached villa status. It is not situated in a secluded golf valley but within a bustling urban district. The outdoor space is limited to a terrace, and the setting does not provide the isolation of a rural finca or the direct beachfront proximity of a frontline property.

This property suits households or professionals seeking a base with high transport links. The proximity to the airport and the train station makes it suitable for commuters or frequent travellers. It fits those who prefer an urban infrastructure over a gated community, yet wish to retain the option of reaching the sea within minutes. It is also fitting for buyers who prioritise immediate availability over a lengthy off-plan construction period.
The apartment is described as being in excellent condition with modern amenities. Technical specifications include pre-installation for electric vehicle charging in the garage and individual climate control systems throughout. The interior finishes are aligned with standards expected of properties delivered at the turn of the decade, focusing on durability and functionality rather than ornate design. The inclusion of branded appliances and fitted furniture ensures a turnkey status.
Pricing starts from €795,000, which reflects the property's size and its location within a major city. This price point is significantly higher than comparable new builds in suburban areas like Mijas or Torre del Mar, a factor likely attributed to the larger 112 m² floor area and the proximity to Málaga’s economic hub. The cost includes furnishings and premium fittings, positioning it at the higher end of the apartment market in this specific district.
Daily life here is defined by convenience and connectivity. Residents can cycle or walk to the beach via the flat terrain, while the city centre is accessible for cultural amenities. The area is not a seasonal resort town but a living city district, offering supermarkets and healthcare facilities within a few hundred metres. The lifestyle is practical, removing the need for a car for daily errands while maintaining connectivity to the wider Costa del Sol. The high number of annual festivals integrates local culture into the weekly rhythm.
The immediate surroundings are serviced by an extensive network of 8 bus lines and nearby train stations such as Barbarela. Healthcare is robust, with a hospital located under a kilometre away. The presence of numerous schools and sports centres suggests a family-oriented demographic mixed with student populations from the nearby university district. This density ensures that services are always within reach.
The map highlights the strategic position near the A-7 motorway and the Guadalhorce river. The area is well-connected, showing the close proximity of the coastline to the south and the airfield to the east.

Compared to Lantana Residencial in Mijas, which offers a suburban lifestyle at lower price points, this project in La Quinta provides an urban context with higher capital entry costs. While Aquamar in Torre del Mar focuses on resort-style living near the eastern beaches, this location integrates directly into the infrastructure of Málaga city. The trade-off is a higher density environment and a premium price for the convenience of city and airport proximity, offering a different lifestyle focused on accessibility rather than resort seclusion.
