This 211 m² five-bedroom apartment is situated in Pedregalejo, an established maritime neighbourhood on Málaga's eastern seafront, roughly 4 km as the crow flies from the city centre. The property forms part of a residential complex completed in 1977 and kept in good order, set in landscaped communal gardens less than a minute's walk from the beach promenade. The home is arranged on one level with a southwest orientation, a large living and dining area, an en-suite principal bedroom, a storage room and two communal-garage parking spaces. The asking price is €1,300,000.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment lies in Pedregalejo, a coastal district of Málaga with a fishing-village past and a seafront promenade lined with seafood restaurants. Playa de Pedregalejo is 0.4 km away as the crow flies, and the nearest train stations, Atarazanas and Málaga Centro Alameda, sit within about a kilometre. The city centre is roughly 4 km distant in a straight line.
With 211 m² on a single floor, five bedrooms, two bathrooms and a study, the layout suits households needing generous space close to the sea. All bedrooms are exterior-facing with fitted wardrobes and double glazing. A lift serves the building, and the complex includes communal gardens plus two garage parking spaces, though the allocation of spaces rotates among residents annually.
This is not a new-build project. The apartment forms part of a complex completed in 1977 and described as being in excellent condition. It is key-ready, meaning it can be occupied without further works. Any dates relating to the building's completion or past renovation are historical facts rather than forward-looking delivery schedules.
The property offers two bathrooms only, against five bedrooms plus a study, which limits en-suite provision to the principal bedroom. The kitchen is partially fitted. The original covered terrace has been absorbed into the living space, reducing outdoor terrace area unless it is reconfigured. Parking spaces rotate yearly rather than being permanently assigned, and there is no private pool or private garden.
This apartment fits a household that prioritises space and a city-coastal location over modern new-build specifications. A family with several children benefits from five bedrooms, an en-suite principal bathroom, fitted storage and schools within the neighbourhood. Buyers relocating to Málaga for work will find the city centre about 4 km away in a straight line, with train stations under a kilometre distant, allowing daily life without heavy car dependence, a relevant point given the yearly rotation of the two garage spaces. It also suits long-stay buyers who want a year-round neighbourhood rather than a seasonal resort: Pedregalejo has a permanent community, and the density of pharmacies, banks and cafés within 2 km supports full-time residence. Buyers seeking a modern energy-efficient new build, a private pool or a permanently assigned parking place should look elsewhere, as should anyone wanting a dedicated outdoor terrace in its original form, that space currently forms part of the living room. The 1977 construction date means the building predates current insulation and efficiency standards; the apartment does have double glazing, air conditioning and central heating, which mitigates but does not replace newer build technology. It is least suitable for investors chasing rental yield from small units, since the price per square metre reflects a family-sized home in a consolidated area.
The apartment's specification reflects its 1977 origins combined with subsequent upgrades. Windows throughout the bedrooms are double-glazed, and all bedrooms are exterior-facing with fitted wardrobes. Both entrances, a main door and a service door, are fitted with reinforced security doors. Climate control is twofold: air conditioning for warm months and central heating for winter, which is a meaningful feature in an older coastal building where many properties rely on standalone units alone. The interior layout has been altered from its original design: the covered terrace has been integrated into the living and dining room, which is arranged into three distinct areas. This change increases interior floor area but removes the covered outdoor space; the source notes the terrace could be reinstated. The kitchen is described as fully equipped with a separate utility room and breakfast area, although the feature list records it as partially fitted, so buyers should verify the exact inventory during a viewing. The bathroom shown in imagery includes marble finishes around the basin. Building-level facilities include a lift, a private storage room within the property's allocation, and extensive landscaped communal gardens. As with any building of this age, structural condition, electrical installations and community finances are best assessed through technical due diligence and the community of owners' minutes.
The asking price is fixed at €1,300,000 for this existing home; it is not a from-price within a development. That figure buys 211 m² of living space, five bedrooms, two bathrooms, a storage room, communal gardens and access to two communal-garage parking spaces with a yearly rotation system. For context within the wider region, new-build comparable projects such as Aquamar in Torre del Mar start from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000, those are smaller, new apartments in less central coastal locations, whereas this property's pricing reflects its size, its consolidated Pedregalejo address and its proximity to Málaga city.
Daily life here revolves around the short walk to the seafront. The apartment sits within an established complex with landscaped communal gardens, so the immediate surroundings are green and relatively quiet despite the urban setting. Mornings can begin with a walk along the Pedregalejo promenade, where traditional chiringuitos and cafés open early, and where the beach at 0.4 km straight-line distance functions as an extension of the neighbourhood rather than a destination requiring a car. The southwest orientation means the living areas receive afternoon and evening light, which shapes how the rooms are used: the living and dining zone, divided into three distinct areas after the former covered terrace was incorporated into the interior, stays bright into the late afternoon. The kitchen is independent, fully equipped, and includes a utility room plus a breakfast area that can double as an informal sitting room, making the working part of the home reasonably self-contained. A separate study adds flexibility, serving as a workspace or a fifth bedroom depending on household needs. Errands are short: within 2 km there are 363 restaurants, 155 cafés, 81 pharmacies, 64 banks and 22 dentists, so shops, healthcare and services are on the doorstep rather than a drive away. Schools and supermarkets sit in the surrounding streets. Because the neighbourhood is residential and year-round, it does not empty outside the holiday season, and the rhythm stays consistent through winter, supported by an average annual temperature of 19.4°C.
Pedregalejo sits on Málaga's eastern coastline, roughly 4 km straight-line from the city centre, and functions as a neighbourhood rather than a resort. The seafront promenade is less than a minute's walk away, with beaches at 0.4 to 1 km: Playa de Pedregalejo, Playa de las Acacias and Playa de los Baños del Carmen. The area's maritime heritage remains visible in the fishing boats and seafood restaurants along the front. Amenities within a 2 km radius are extensive, 363 restaurants, 155 cafés, 81 pharmacies, 64 banks and 22 dentists, meaning nearly every daily errand can be done on foot. Sports facilities include the Aviva! centre and the Polideportivo Municipal La Mosca, both about 0.5 km away, plus SportMiraflores at 1.1 km. Electric-vehicle charging points are available at Iberdrola locations 0.8 and 1.0 km away. Train access is strong: Atarazanas station lies 0.6 km away, Málaga Centro Alameda 0.9 km and Guadalmedina 1.2 km, all measured in a straight line. The neighbourhood is flat, with a 0.0% gradient to the beach, which makes walking and cycling practical throughout.
The map shows the apartment's position between Málaga's historic centre and the eastern beaches. Note the cluster of beaches within 1 km, the three train stations under 1.2 km away, and the airport roughly 9 km to the southwest. Marbella, 52 km along the coast, marks the western edge of the Costa del Sol's resort belt.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Within the Costa del Sol, this location represents the urban end of the spectrum: a consolidated Málaga neighbourhood rather than a resort development. Marbella lies 52 km to the southwest and Granada 85 km to the northeast, both reachable for day trips. Unlike golf-centred developments between Málaga and Estepona, Pedregalejo's anchors are the beach, the promenade and the city itself, with the airport only about 9 km away in a straight line. The position trades resort tranquillity for walkable city life and year-round services.
The beaches nearest to the apartment are Playa de Pedregalejo at 0.4 km and Playa de las Acacias at 0.6 km straight-line, with Playa de los Baños del Carmen at 1.0 km; the nearest Blue Flag beach, San Andrés, is 2.1 km away. Málaga city centre is about 4 km as the crow flies, Marbella 52 km and Granada 85 km. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport (AGP) lies approximately 9 km in a straight line, making arrivals and departures straightforward; Gibraltar airport is roughly 104 km away. Public transport is dense: 50 bus lines serve 50 stops in the area, and three train stations sit within 1.2 km. Golf requires a car: the nearest course, Club de Golf Málaga Parador, is 11.8 km away, with Club de Golf de Guadalhorce at 14.2 km. Marinas at Puerto Deportivo del Candado (2.6 km) and IGY Málaga Marina (3.9 km) serve boating needs. All distances are straight-line; road distances will be longer.

Málaga's climate is one of the city's structural advantages. The average annual temperature is 19.4°C, with monthly averages ranging from 15°C in the coldest months to 28°C in summer. The swimming season lasts around six months, during which sea temperatures stay at or above 20°C. The district lies at sea level with a completely flat gradient to the coast, so there are no hills between the apartment and the beach, relevant for older residents or anyone cycling. Frost is effectively unknown at this elevation, and the southwest orientation of the apartment aligns with the afternoon sun, giving the living spaces light through the second half of the day. Outdoor life is practicable year-round: the promenade, beaches and gardens remain usable in winter, and the area records 32 local public holidays per year, reflecting an active festival calendar typical of Andalusian cities.

The immediate coastline offers three beaches within a kilometre: Playa de Pedregalejo (0.4 km), Playa de las Acacias (0.6 km) and Playa de los Baños del Carmen (1.0 km). These are urban beaches backed by the promenade's restaurants and cafés, suited to daily swimming and walks rather than secluded sunbathing. The nearest Blue Flag beach, San Andrés, lies 2.1 km away, indicating a recognised standard of water quality and services. For sport, the Aviva! centre and Polideportivo Municipal La Mosca are both about 0.5 km from the apartment, with SportMiraflores at 1.1 km. Golfers need to drive: the closest course is 11.8 km away, with two more within about 15 km. Sailing and moorings are available at Puerto Deportivo del Candado (2.6 km), IGY Málaga Marina (3.9 km) and Marina Real Club Mediterráneo (4.0 km). Cultural recreation in Málaga city, museums, theatres and the historic centre, is under 5 km away by road.

Set against the wider Costa del Sol market, this apartment occupies a distinctly urban position. The listed comparables, Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €321,000), are new-build developments at substantially lower entry prices, but they differ in kind as well as cost. Torre del Mar and Estepona are resort-orientated towns where a car is generally needed for daily life; Mijas stretches inland from the coast with golf-led surroundings. Pedregalejo, by contrast, is a neighbourhood of Málaga city itself, roughly 4 km straight-line from the historic centre, with 363 restaurants and 81 pharmacies within 2 km and three train stations within 1.2 km. A buyer choosing this apartment over a new-build further along the coast is effectively trading modern construction standards and lower pricing for walkability, year-round urban services and immediate beach access. The premium also reflects scale: 211 m² with five bedrooms is a rare format in this district, where much of the stock consists of smaller apartments. The 1977 build year places the property outside current efficiency norms, which is a genuine point of difference against the three new-build comparables, all of which will carry contemporary insulation and fittings. Within Málaga itself, Pedregalejo commands higher values than eastern districts such as El Palo, but generally less than the prime seafront of La Malagueta, the €1,300,000 asking price sits within that intermediate band, justified mainly by floor area and proximity to the promenade rather than by views, which the property lists as garden, urban and street views rather than sea views.
