This four-bedroom apartment sits in central Marbella, directly beside the Casco Antiguo (Old Town) and the town's football stadium, with a fixed asking price of €477,000. The home offers 110 m² of living space, two bathrooms, a balcony with sea and mountain views, and west-facing orientation. Completed in 1973, the property is key-ready but documented as requiring renovation. Daily amenities, supermarket, pharmacy, restaurants and public transport, are within walking distance, and Playa de la Bajadilla lies roughly 740 metres away as the crow flies.
Set against current new-build supply in Marbella, this apartment occupies a different segment of the market. Comparable projects advertised in the municipality include Residencial Albatros (from €405,000), Nikki Living (from €450,000) and The Grove (from €527,500). Those developments offer modern construction, communal facilities and developer warranties, whereas this resale home trades finishing level for position: directly beside the Old Town, with a walkable beach, supermarket, sports centres and schools in the immediate radius. Per square metre, the asking price of roughly €4,336 is competitive for central Marbella, but the comparison only holds once the documented renovation budget is added. What the newer projects cannot replicate is the address itself, new-build supply in Marbella concentrates in peripheral or golf-side zones such as Nueva Andalucía, several kilometres from the historic centre, while this apartment sits within a ten-minute walk of the fishing port and the Paseo Marítimo. For buyers weighing the two routes, the choice is essentially between a finished product with communal amenities and a larger, cheaper-per-metre shell in the town's most established quarter, renovated to personal specification. Market context also matters: with roughly 4,700 housing transactions per year in the municipality and sustained international demand, central resale stock requiring modernisation is a recognised segment, particularly near the announced stadium redevelopment. Marbella's broader fundamentals, eight Blue Flag beaches, 415 sports facilities, five health centres and an average annual temperature of 19.1°C, apply to all segments equally; what differs is the trade-off between convenience, condition and the work a buyer is willing to undertake.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment stands in the urban centre of Marbella, next to the football stadium and at the edge of the Old Town. A supermarket is about 234 metres away and a pharmacy 8 metres, both as the crow flies. The nearest beach, Playa de la Bajadilla, sits roughly 740 metres from the door, while Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport lies 39 km away in a straight line.
With four bedrooms, two bathrooms and 110 m², the layout suits a family or buyers wanting space in a walkable town setting. A lift serves the building, and a covered terrace with west orientation provides afternoon and evening light. Fitted wardrobes, air conditioning (hot and cold) and panoramic urban, sea and mountain views are present.
This is not a new-build project. The building was completed in 1973 and the apartment is key-ready in the sense that it can be transferred immediately. Its documented condition is fair, with renovation and restoration explicitly required, so the purchase price should be viewed alongside a budget for modernisation works.
The property requires renovation and restoration; its condition is listed as fair. Parking is not listed among the features, nor are a private pool, garden or storage room. Built in 1973, the home predates current build standards. No energy certificate figure or plot is included in the available data, and a planned stadium redevelopment nearby means construction activity may occur in the surroundings.
This property fits a buyer with a specific profile: someone who wants to live centrally in Marbella, values walking access to shops, schools and the beach, and is prepared to modernise a 1973 apartment themselves. It suits families who need four bedrooms and want secondary schools, healthcare and sports facilities within a short radius. It also suits buyers relocating permanently who prefer not to depend on a car, the address is served by 11 public transport lines with 50 stops in the municipality, and Málaga airport is a straightforward connection at 39 km as the crow flies. Handypersons and investors form a second group: homes in fair condition near announced public redevelopment are commonly bought with the intention of renovating to personal taste or to lift rental value. It fits less well for buyers seeking a turnkey home, private parking, a pool at the door, or a quiet residential estate on the outskirts. The absence of listed parking is a practical consideration for car owners, as central Marbella street parking is regulated and busy in season. Seasonal visitors who want a lock-up-and-leave holiday flat may also find a gated new-build with communal facilities more practical. In short, the apartment rewards buyers who price in the renovation and prioritise location above finishing level.
The apartment dates from 1973, and the available data describes its condition as fair, with renovation and restoration explicitly required. Interiors shown include a living room with sofa and window views, a dining area, a bedroom with wardrobe and wall decoration, and a modernised bathroom with shower and sink, indicating partial updating over the decades rather than a full refurbishment. Fitted wardrobes are present in the bedrooms, and the covered terrace extends the living space outward. Climate control consists of air conditioning units providing both hot and cold air, a practical baseline, though not comparable with modern aerothermal or underfloor systems. A lift serves the building, a meaningful convenience for a four-bedroom home likely to be used by families or older residents. Buyers should treat all visible finishes as provisional: in a 1973 building, typical renovation scope includes electrics, plumbing, windows and insulation, none of which is documented in the available data. Structural specifics, community fees and building maintenance history should be verified during due diligence. The west orientation and panoramic position, sea, mountain and urban views, are fixed assets that renovation cannot alter, which is why such homes are often bought for their shell and setting rather than their current finish. A technical survey before purchase is advisable to quantify the modernisation budget accurately.
The asking price is fixed at €477,000 for the whole apartment, not a starting price from which units vary, since this is an existing resale home. At 110 m² of living space with four bedrooms and two bathrooms, that equates to roughly €4,336 per square metre, a level consistent with central Marbella resale stock that carries renovation obligations. Comparable new-build projects in the municipality currently advertise from €405,000 to €527,500, so this home sits within the regional price band while differing fundamentally in age and condition. Buyers should budget additionally for the documented renovation and restoration works, plus customary purchase costs.
Daily life around this apartment is overwhelmingly urban and on foot. The building sits at the seam between Marbella's Old Town and the stadium quarter, which means cafés, banks, pharmacies and restaurants cluster within a few hundred metres, 137 restaurants and 25 cafés are registered within a two-kilometre radius. A supermarket lies roughly 234 metres away as the crow flies, and a pharmacy almost at the doorstep. The morning routine can realistically be done without a car: shopping, school runs, 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools serve the municipality, and sports facilities such as Polideportivo Francisco Norte (about 200 metres) are close. The west-facing covered terrace captures afternoon and evening sun, which pairs well with the Mediterranean rhythm of late dinners and the light over the bay toward sunset. Playa de la Bajadilla and its fishing port are a short stroll of under a kilometre, and the marina of Puerto Deportivo Virgen del Carmen sits about 500 metres away in a straight line. The trade-off of the central position is noise and activity typical of a town of nearly 160,000 residents, plus the announced stadium redevelopment, which will bring building works to the immediate area for a period. For buyers who value walkable convenience over residential quiet, the location functions as a genuine year-round base rather than a seasonal resort.
The surroundings combine dense town convenience with seaside proximity. Within a two-kilometre radius, the data lists 137 restaurants, 29 pharmacies, 20 banks, 25 cafés and 3 dentists, a level of provision that makes daily errands a matter of minutes on foot. Healthcare is well covered: a hospital lies about one kilometre away as the crow flies, and the municipality operates five health centres. For families, the British International School is roughly 2.2 km away in a straight line and the English International College about 8.2 km. Sports facilities are unusually close: Polideportivo Francisco Norte at about 200 metres, Polideportivo Riohuelo at 400 metres and the Supera Miraflores centre with pool at 600 metres. For electric-car drivers, the nearest charging point is 2.1 km away and the Marbella Supercharger about 3.3 km. The immediate setting is urban and busy, particularly around match days at the adjacent stadium and during the summer tourist season, when Marbella's 52 hotels fill the town centre. Outside the high season, the neighbourhood reverts to a residential Andalusian rhythm with local commerce. The beach is reachable on foot in minutes, and evening walks to the marina or along the Paseo Marítimo are a realistic part of the weekly routine rather than an occasional outing.
The map shows the apartment at the edge of Marbella's Old Town beside the football stadium, with the beach under a kilometre to the south. Markers indicate nearby supermarkets, sports centres, marinas and schools. All shown distances are straight-line; walking routes may be somewhat longer.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Within Marbella, this address occupies the central band between Old Town and seafront, the most walkable and historically established part of the municipality, distinct from the golf-and-villa suburbs of Nueva Andalucía six to eight kilometres west. Regionally, Marbella anchors the western Costa del Sol: Málaga lies 47 km in a straight line, Algeciras 66 km and Jerez de la la Frontera 113 km. With 159,786 inhabitants (2025) and 4,743 housing transactions per year, it functions as a full-year city rather than a seasonal resort, which underpins demand for central resale stock such as this apartment.
Distances below are straight-line, as the crow flies; road distances and actual travel times are longer. Playa de la Bajadilla lies about 738 metres from the apartment, Playa de Casablanca 2.4 km and Playa de la Fontanilla 2.9 km. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is 39 km away, Gibraltar Airport about 58 km. Golf is a short drive rather than walkable: Golf Los Naranjos and The Range sit at 6.0 km, Aloha Golf Club at 6.8 km, and Real Club de Golf Las Brisas at 7.2 km. Málaga city, the provincial capital with roughly 579,000 inhabitants, lies 47 km away in a straight line. Public transport in Marbella comprises 11 lines and 50 stops, with a stop close to the building given the central setting, making a car-free lifestyle feasible for most daily needs. For journeys along the coast and to the airport, a car or bus remains the practical option.

Marbella's climate data shows average monthly temperatures between 12 and 26°C, with an annual mean of 19.1°C, one of the mildest profiles on the Costa del Sol, moderated by the coastal position. The town sits at roughly 31 metres above sea level, and the gradient from the apartment toward Playa de la Bajadilla is about 1.4 per cent, effectively flat, which makes the walk to the sea easy for all ages. The swimming season lasts around five months, during which sea water stays at or above 20°C. The Sierra Blanca mountain range behind the town provides the mountain views from the apartment and shapes the light at the end of the day, particularly from a west-facing terrace. There are 34 local public holidays per year, reflecting an active festival calendar concentrated in the warmer months.
