This key-ready townhouse in Málaga Este offers 216 m² of living space across several floors, with four bedrooms, five bathrooms, two terraces, a private garage for two vehicles and access to a communal pool. Completed in 1996 and maintained in good condition, the property sits in a residential setting with landscaped communal areas. The asking price is €1,150,000. Playa de El Palo and Playa de las Acacias lie approximately 0.5 km away as the crow flies, while the city centre and Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport are both easily reached.
Within the wider Costa del Sol market, this townhouse occupies a distinct position. New-build developments such as Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €321,000) operate in the entry and mid segments, typically offering apartments or smaller townhouses in resort-style settings. At a fixed asking price of €1,150,000, this property sits clearly above those entry points, and the comparison reflects a different product type: a 216 m², four-bedroom, five-bathroom townhouse in a consolidated city district rather than a new apartment in a developing urbanisation. The trade-off is architectural: the 1996 construction predates current new-build standards, so finishes such as marble floors and wooden carpentry belong to that era, and buyers comparing with 2024-constructed developments should factor in the age of installations. In return, the location offers something the resort projects cannot: beaches within roughly 0.5 km, three sports centres within 0.8 km, an airport 13 km away and the full infrastructure of Málaga city, 26 health centres, extensive schooling and 27 public transport lines in the surrounding area. The eastern districts also maintain year-round life, whereas parts of the western Costa del Sol quieten considerably outside the summer season. For a buyer weighing a €1.1 million budget, the realistic alternatives are either a smaller new-build closer to Marbella or Estepona's premium zones or a larger resale property in the city, this house represents the latter path, with the practical advantages and period characteristics that entails.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is located in Málaga Este, a residential district on the eastern side of the city. Beaches at El Palo and Las Acacias are roughly 0.5 km away in a straight line, and Pedregalejo lies about 1 km further along the coast. The area combines urban amenities with a coastal setting, with sports centres within walking distance and the city centre a short drive away.
The house offers four bedrooms and five bathrooms, including an ensuite, which suits larger households or those needing space for guests and a home office. A multipurpose lower floor can serve as a family room, gym or workspace. Two terraces, a solarium, a storage room, a utility room and a garage for two cars cover most daily practical needs of a permanent residence.
This is not a new-build project. The house was completed in 1996 and is described as being in good condition, with key-ready status meaning it can be occupied directly after purchase. Finishes include marble floors in several rooms, wooden carpentry, fitted wardrobes, double glazing and air conditioning. Any modernisation would be at the buyer's own initiative.
The property has an urban view rather than sea views, and the pool is communal rather than private. The building dates from 1996, so installations and finishes reflect that period even though the condition is good. There is no mention of a garden or private outdoor plot beyond the terraces and patio, and the orientation is south-west rather than due south.
This house fits several recognisable situations. A family relocating to Málaga permanently will find the four bedrooms, five bathrooms and closeness to schools, 147 primary and 101 secondary schools are recorded in the wider area, directly relevant, along with the garage and storage space. Buyers who regularly host guests can use the ensuite bedroom and the multipurpose floor as a self-contained guest and leisure zone. Households that want coastal access without resort tourism will appreciate that El Palo and Pedregalejo are traditional neighbourhoods with their own restaurants and chiringuitos rather than purpose-built holiday zones. Remote workers can convert the lower floor into an office and gym, supported by the urban infrastructure of a city of this size. Buyers seeking sea views or a private pool should note that this property offers neither; the views are urban and the pool is shared. The house is also less suited to those wanting a modern new-build finish, since the construction dates from 1996 and the interior reflects that era, albeit in good condition. For a buyer prioritising space, location within a real city district, walkable beaches and practical features such as double glazing, air conditioning and two parking spaces, the profile matches well.
The interior finishes are those of a well-maintained 1996 build. Marble flooring features in several rooms, which is typical of higher-end Spanish construction of that period and remains durable under daily use. Wooden carpentry and fitted wardrobes throughout the bedrooms provide storage without requiring additional furniture. Windows are double glazed, and air conditioning is installed, covering both warm summers and cooler winter periods, although no details are given about the heating system or insulation standards. The kitchen is finished with white cabinets and a sink, with a separate utility room keeping laundry appliances out of the main cooking area. The master bedroom includes wooden furniture and direct outdoor access. Two full bathrooms plus three further bathrooms mean morning routines remain practical for a full household. The property further includes a storage room, useful for seasonal items, and a private garage with capacity for two vehicles, a meaningful asset in a city district where on-street parking can be limited. The condition is listed as good, meaning no renovation is required for occupation, though buyers should carry out the usual technical survey to assess installations such as wiring, plumbing and the air conditioning units, which may be original or partially updated over the years. The communal areas, including the pool and landscaped gardens, are maintained collectively through the community of owners, with costs shared among residents.
The asking price is €1,150,000 as a fixed amount for the existing home; it is not part of a price list and there is no from-price variation. The price reflects the property's size of 216 m², four bedrooms, five bathrooms, garage for two vehicles, terraces and communal pool within a consolidated city district close to the coast. Compared with new-build developments elsewhere on the Costa del Sol that start between roughly €205,000 and €322,000 for smaller units, this property occupies a different segment of the market. Availability is immediate given the key-ready status, subject to the normal purchase process and any negotiation between buyer and seller.
Daily life in this townhouse revolves around a multi-level layout that separates living, sleeping and leisure functions. The main living floor combines a dining and living area with wooden furniture and natural light; the kitchen has white cabinetry and a utility room nearby. Upstairs, the four bedrooms include a master with ensuite bathroom, fitted wardrobes and direct access to the outdoors, which supports warm-weather living without needing to use the main stairs. The south-west orientation means the terraces catch afternoon and evening sun, making the solarium practical for late-day use and outdoor meals. The lower multipurpose floor, currently arranged as a leisure area with a bar, is the most flexible part of the house: it can be converted into a gym, office, games room or family room without altering the main living spaces. Outside, the patio with terracotta tiles connects the interior with a shaded, sheltered spot, while the larger sun terrace functions as an open-air extension of the living room during the long warm season. The residential complex adds landscaped communal areas and a pool, useful for households that want swimming facilities without private maintenance. For everyday errands, the surrounding district counts dozens of restaurants, cafés, pharmacies and banks within 2 km, and three sports centres lie within 0.8 km. This makes the property workable as a full-time family home as well as a spacious second residence near the beach.
Málaga East combines a residential character with full urban infrastructure. Within 2 km of the property, the area counts 53 restaurants, 14 cafés, 16 pharmacies, 11 banks and 3 dentists, so daily errands can largely be done on foot or by short drive. Health care is well represented, with 26 health centres recorded in the surrounding area. For exercise, the Aviva! sports centre is about 0.4 km away, SportMiraflores 0.6 km and the Polideportivo Municipal José Paterna 0.8 km, an unusual concentration for a residential district. Public transport is strong for a coastal location: 27 lines and 50 stops serve the area, connecting the eastern districts with the city centre and reducing dependence on a car for commuting. The beaches of El Palo and Las Acacias are both roughly 0.5 km away as the crow flies, meaning actual walking distance is somewhat longer but still practical on foot. Pedregalejo, about 1 km away, extends the seaside promenade with its fishing-village character and waterfront restaurants. El Candado marina lies 1.8 km away for those with an interest in sailing or water sports. The setting is urban rather than quiet-rural: expect normal city rhythms, summer activity near the beaches and year-round life in the neighbourhoods, which remain inhabited through the winter months.
The map shows the property in Málaga East, between the city centre to the west and the beaches of Pedregalejo and El Palo to the south.

Málaga East positions this property on the city side of the Costa del Sol rather than in a resort enclave. The historic centre of Málaga, with its museums, cathedral and train station, is a short drive west, while the beaches begin within walking distance to the south. This distinguishes the location from developments in Torre del Mar, Mijas or Estepona, which are more resort-oriented and further from a major city's full infrastructure. For buyers who want coastal living combined with genuine urban services, hospitals, universities, an international airport 13 km away, the eastern districts of Málaga occupy a specific niche on the coast.
Accessibility is one of the stronger points of this location. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport lies roughly 13 km away in a straight line, making flight connections convenient for international owners and visiting guests. Gibraltar Airport is about 109 km away and Alicante-Elche approximately 378 km, though neither is a practical alternative for regular use. The beaches at El Palo and Las Acacias are around 0.5 km away as the crow flies, with Pedregalejo at 1.0 km. Golfers should note that the nearest courses are further out: Club de Golf Málaga Parador at 12.2 km and Club de Golf de Guadalhorce at 15.0 km, straight-line distances. Marinas at El Candado (1.8 km) and the city marinas (4.6 and 4.7 km) cover mooring and nautical services. By car, the eastern districts connect to the city centre and the western Costa del Sol via the coastal artery; by public transport, 27 bus lines and 50 stops serve the area. The private garage for two vehicles removes the main parking concern for a household with two cars.

The climate data supports year-round residential use. The average annual temperature is 19.5 °C, with monthly averages ranging from 15 °C in the coolest months to 28 °C in summer. The swimming season lasts about six months, with sea temperatures of 20 °C or above, consistent with the seaside location at 11 metres above sea level, meaning the terrain is essentially flat and access to the coast involves no significant climbs. The south-west orientation of the house means the terraces and solarium receive afternoon and evening sun, useful for outdoor living from spring through autumn. Several viewpoints lie within about 2-2.4 km, including Mirador Este and Mirador Sur, offering walks with coastal perspectives. Rainfall concentrates in the cooler months, while the long dry summer is what defines outdoor life here: evening meals on the terrace, walks along the Pedregalejo promenade and use of the communal pool from late spring onwards are realistic parts of the annual rhythm rather than occasional treats.

The nearest beaches, Playa de El Palo and Playa de las Acacias, are approximately 0.5 km away as the crow flies, with Playa de Pedregalejo about 1.0 km. Pedregalejo and El Palo are among Málaga's most characteristic seaside neighbourhoods, with former fishing houses, espeto grills on the sand and a promenade suitable for running and cycling. The swimming season runs roughly six months, with water temperatures at or above 20 °C. For organised sport, three centres lie within 0.8 km: Aviva!, SportMiraflores and the Polideportivo Municipal José Paterna. Sailing and mooring facilities are available at Puerto Deportivo del Candado, 1.8 km away, and at the city marinas about 4.6-4.7 km away. Golf requires a drive: the nearest courses are 12.2 km and 15.0 km away in a straight line. The area's tourism infrastructure, 92 hotels and around 13,050 beds in the wider region, means facilities stay open year-round, and the neighbourhoods retain a permanent population outside the summer months.
