This completed two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment of 63 m² is situated in central Marbella, within walking distance of Playa de la Bajadilla and the fishing port. The building dates from 1984 and the unit has been recently refurbished. The location is urban and services-oriented: a supermarket lies approximately 230 metres away, a pharmacy 8 metres, and a public sports centre 200 metres. Málaga Airport is roughly 39 km away. The complex is gated, has a lift, a communal pool and a children's pool. This is a resale property in an established town setting, not a new-build development.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in Marbella's town centre, between the commercial area and the seafront. Playa de la Bajadilla is about 740 metres away on foot, and the marina of the same name lies 1.2 km from the door. Shops, schools and health facilities are reachable on foot or by bicycle. The nearest bus stops and 11 local public transport lines connect the area with the wider municipality.
The property functions as a lock-up-and-leave town base or permanent residence for one to two occupants. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms, an ensuite, fitted wardrobes, air conditioning (hot and cold), double glazing and fibre-optic internet cover the practical requirements of year-round or seasonal living. A lift and accessibility features for people with reduced mobility are present. Parking is on-street, with no private space included.
This is not a new-build project. The building was completed in 1984 and the apartment has since been refurbished, with the condition described as good to excellent. Purchase concerns a finished, habitable resale unit, so there is no construction phase, off-plan risk or delivery date to consider. Transfer can proceed at the pace of a standard resale transaction.
The property does not offer private parking, a private garden, a private pool, sea views (views are urban), a storage room, or a balcony-confirmed outdoor space beyond what is shown. It is a 63 m² apartment, which limits space for larger households. Parking is on-street only. There is no developer warranty applicable, as this is a resale from 1984. Orientation is east, so direct afternoon sun on the interior is limited.

This property matches a buyer profile that prioritises location and walkability over interior space and modern building stock. Recognisable situations include: a couple seeking a low-maintenance second home near the Marbella old town and beach, able to arrive by air (39 km from Málaga Airport) and use the apartment without a car; a permanent resident who values having a hospital under one kilometre away, a supermarket at 230 metres and public transport at the doorstep; or an investor targeting the central Marbella rental market, where year-round demand is supported by 52 hotels and 12,781 tourist beds in the municipality. It fits less well for buyers who require a private garden, private parking, sea views, three or more bedrooms, or the energy performance and communal specifications of post-2020 construction. The east orientation and 63 m² footprint also make it less suitable for households that spend most of the day indoors or expect afternoon sun on a terrace.
The building envelope dates from 1984, which places it in a construction era predating current energy-efficiency requirements; no energy label is stated in the available data. The individual apartment, however, has been recently refurbished and is described as being in good to excellent condition. Documented features include double glazing, fitted wardrobes, a fully fitted kitchen, hot and cold air conditioning, and an ensuite bathroom. The property is part-furnished. Infrastructure of practical relevance is present: fibre-optic internet and WiFi, an entry phone, and gated access to the complex. Accessibility provisions include a lift and features for people with reduced mobility. Buyers assessing long-term running costs should note that a 1984 building will not match the thermal insulation standards of new-build developments on the Costa del Sol, and that hot and cold air conditioning will be the primary climate system. A technical survey is the standard instrument for verifying the condition of the structure, installations and communal areas before purchase.
The asking price is €430,000 for a completed 63 m² resale apartment with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Compared with nearby projects in Marbella, Residencial Albatros from approximately €405,000, Nikki Living from €450,000 and The Grove from €527,500, this price sits in the middle of the local range. The higher price per square metre reflects the central, walkable location rather than the size or age of the building. Availability is immediate, as the unit is completed and refurbished.
Daily life around this apartment is shaped by its central position in Marbella. Within roughly 200 metres there is a supermarket, a pharmacy at 8 metres, and the Polideportivo Francisco Norte sports centre. The old town, the seafront promenade and Playa de la Bajadilla are a ten-to-fifteen-minute walk, which makes the car optional for most errands: 137 restaurants, 25 cafés, 20 banks and 29 pharmacies fall within a two-kilometre radius. The rhythm of the area is that of an established Andalusian coastal town, active year-round, busier in summer, quieter but fully served in winter. The apartment itself is compact: two bedrooms, two bathrooms and an east-facing living space suited to morning light. Communal facilities include a pool and a children's pool within the gated complex, plus a lift to all floors. Practical considerations include street parking, which in central Marbella requires patience in high season, and urban views rather than sea views. For residents, the combination of walkable services, public transport (50 stops in the area) and proximity to the hospital at under one kilometre reduces dependence on a car more than is typical for Costa del Sol locations further from town centres.
The immediate surroundings are urban and fully serviced. A pharmacy is 8 metres from the entrance, a supermarket 234 metres, a hospital 996 metres and the Polideportivo Francisco Norte sports centre 200 metres. The Puerto Deportivo Virgen del Carmen marina is a 500-metre walk, and the fishing port 1.3 km. Public transport comprises 11 lines and 50 stops in the area, connecting the centre with outlying districts and nearby towns. The environment is busier than suburban Marbella zones: commercial activity, tourism traffic in summer and street noise are part of central town life, balanced by year-round service levels that coastal developments outside town centres cannot match. An EV charging point is 2.1 km away and a Tesla Supercharger 3.3 km.
The map shows the apartment's position between Marbella's commercial centre and the coastline. Markers indicate Playa de la Bajadilla (738 m), the supermarket (234 m), the hospital (996 m) and the port area, illustrating that daily facilities cluster within a short walking radius of the property.

Within Marbella's current sales stock, this apartment competes on location rather than specification. Residencial Albatros starts at approximately €405,000, Nikki Living at €450,000 and The Grove at €527,500. Developments priced in this range on the western side of the municipality typically offer larger floor plans, newer construction and private parking, but position buyers 5 to 10 km from the historic centre, dependent on a car for daily errands. This property inverts that trade: 63 m² in a 1984 building with street parking, but with a pharmacy at the doorstep, a supermarket at 234 metres, a hospital under one kilometre and the beach within a ten-minute walk. For the rental market, central Marbella generates year-round demand, supported by a municipality of nearly 160,000 residents and a tourism stock of 52 hotels; peripheral new-builds are more seasonal unless they sit on a golf resort. Buyers comparing options should weigh three variables: the absence of private parking, the age of the building against modern energy standards, and the value placed on walkability. At €430,000 the property is priced above the entry-level resale segment in Marbella's outskirts and below Golf Valley new-builds, which is consistent with the premium that central, beachside positions command in this market.
