This three-bedroom semi-detached house is situated in a central, established residential area of Marbella, Málaga, approximately 740 metres from Playa de la Bajadilla. The property was completed in 1988 and offers 110 m² built (89 m² usable) across two floors, with three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a private entrance patio and an upper-floor terrace. The southeast orientation provides daylight through most of the day. The surrounding neighbourhood is urban and walkable, with a supermarket within 250 metres, a pharmacy at doorstep distance, a health centre under one kilometre away, and a bus stop nearby. Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport lies approximately 39 km away. Pricing starts at €420,000, excluding taxes and notary fees.
Within the Marbella resale and new-build market, this property competes on location rather than specification. The closest comparable is Residencial Albatros (from €405,000), which undercuts it slightly on price; Nikki Living (from €450,000) and The Grove (from €527,500) sit above it, with The Grove's premium reflecting a newer development profile. The structural difference is typology and setting: those projects address buyers seeking community facilities and recent construction, while this 1988 townhouse trades finish-date for centrality, an address where the beach, the fishing port, the health centre, schools and 137 restaurants within 2 km are reachable on foot. Across the wider region, central Marbella resale stock competes with Fuengirola and Benalmádena town-centre properties at lower price points, and with Estepona town at broadly similar levels; Marbella's differentiation lies in service density, the microclimate and the documented demand base, evidenced by 4,743 property transactions in the municipality. For buyers comparing golf-side locations such as Nueva Andalucía, where the nearest courses to this property cluster at 6-8 km, the trade-off is direct: resort amenities and newer builds versus walkable urban services and a covered garage in a year-round neighbourhood. Median provincial income of €16,450 contextualises the local economy as tourism-weighted and service-based, with seasonal peaks in July and August affecting traffic and footfall in the town centre. Buyers weighing investment logic should note that resale properties of this vintage carry renovation cost uncertainty that newer comparables price in upfront.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property sits within the consolidated urban fabric of central Marbella, roughly a ten-minute walk from the fishing port and the beaches of Playa de la Bajadilla. The neighbourhood combines residential streets with everyday services: schools, parks, supermarkets and health facilities are all within walking distance. Access to the AP-7 motorway and the coastal road connects the area to the wider Costa del Sol.
The house is configured for permanent or long-stay residential use: three bedrooms, an en-suite bathroom, a guest toilet, a fitted independent kitchen, a utility room and a storage room. The two-storey layout of 110 m² suits households that need separate sleeping and living zones. Covered garage parking is included, which is a practical feature in this part of Marbella where on-street parking is regulated.
This is not a new-build development. The house was completed in 1988 and is listed in good condition, with marble flooring on the main floor and wood flooring elsewhere. The Abbreviated Information Document (DIA) is available on request. Delivery is immediate, as the property is completed and ready for occupancy subject to the standard purchase process.
The property does not offer a communal pool, garden or sea views; views are oriented to the street. There is no underfloor heating, air conditioning by default, or home-automation system listed. The house is delivered unfurnished. As a 1988 construction, it predates current energy-efficiency standards and no energy label value is stated in the available data. Renovation budgets should be assessed independently.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A buyer relocating to Marbella year-round who wants to be within walking distance of a health centre, supermarkets, schools and public transport will find the service density here higher than in the golf-side urbanisations of Nueva Andalucía, 6-8 km inland. A retired couple seeking a manageable two-storey house with garage parking, a pharmacy at 8 metres and a hospital within one kilometre has an unusually direct fit with the location data. Buyers seeking a lock-up-and-go second home near the beach, roughly 10 minutes on foot to Playa de la Bajadilla, will find the central position and covered garage practical for weekend arrivals. Households with children benefit from 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools in the municipality, with the British International School about 2.2 km away. The property suits buyers who value urban convenience over resort-style amenities: there is no communal pool or garden, so anyone expecting a gated complex with facilities should look elsewhere. It also suits buyers comfortable with a 1988 construction, the structure and finishes are original to a large extent, and the house is sold unfurnished. Buyers prioritising sea views or a modern energy label would need to compare against new-build alternatives at higher entry prices.
The interior specification reflects the property's late-1980s origin, updated in parts. The main floor has marble flooring, while other areas, including the hallway visible in the listing photography, have wood flooring; the bedroom shown has a balcony and the bathroom a full bathtub installation. The kitchen is independent and fully fitted. Storage is addressed through fitted wardrobes, a dedicated storage room and a utility room with washing machine connection, shown in the image material. Three full bathrooms, an en-suite, a family bathroom and a guest toilet, exceed the typical provision for a three-bedroom house of this size. As a 1988 build, the construction predates the 2006 Technical Building Code (Código Técnico de la Edificación), which introduced mandatory thermal insulation standards, and the available data does not state an energy performance certificate value. Buyers should budget for assessment or modernisation of the electrical installation, plumbing and any single-glazed windows; the listing indicates electricity is connected. The property is in listed good condition, but 'good' for a 37-year-old house should be read as well maintained rather than refurbished to current standards. An independent technical survey is the standard instrument to verify installation condition, damp, and structural status before purchase. The DIA document is available on request and should be reviewed as part of due diligence.
The property is listed from €420,000. This positions it below The Grove in Marbella (from €527,500) and Nikki Living in Marbella (from €450,000), and slightly above Residencial Albatros (from €405,000), which is the closest comparable in price. The price excludes purchase costs: transfer tax (ITP) or VAT+AJD where applicable, notary fees and registry fees. As a resale property completed in 1988, the total cost of ownership should factor in possible renovation or updating of installations, which have not been quantified in the available data. Availability is immediate upon completion of the standard purchase process.
Daily life around this property is organised around walking. A supermarket is 234 metres away, a pharmacy is effectively next door at 8 metres, and a health centre lies under one kilometre from the door. The sports centres Polideportivo Francisco Norte (200 m) and Polideportivo Riohuelo (400 m) cover swimming and general fitness, and the municipal pool at Supera Miraflores is about 600 metres away. The house itself follows a traditional Spanish townhouse rhythm: entrance patio, main living floor with marble floors and independent kitchen, and sleeping quarters distributed over two levels, with a terrace upstairs for morning and midday sun given the southeast orientation. The neighbourhood remains active year-round, as it is a residential district rather than a seasonal tourist zone, although the proximity of Marbella's centre and the 52 hotels in the municipality mean summer months bring noticeably more traffic and footfall. A courtesy bus is listed among the features, and 11 public transport lines with 50 stops serve the municipality. For households that prefer not to depend on a car for errands, the walkability index here is high: restaurants (137 within 2 km), cafés (25), banks (20) and schools (41 primary, 28 secondary across the municipality) are all within practical reach. The covered garage means the car, when used, is sheltered, relevant for the hot July and August afternoons when interior car temperatures are a genuine factor.
The immediate environment is dense, urban Marbella. Within a two-kilometre radius there are 137 restaurants, 29 pharmacies, 20 banks and 25 cafés, which means daily errands rarely require a vehicle. The slope to the beach is 1.4%, effectively flat, so the 738-metre walk to Playa de la Bajadilla is achievable for most mobility levels. Marbella's marina, Puerto Deportivo Virgen del Carmen, is about 500 metres away, and the Marina la Bajadilla about 1.2 km, the latter functioning as the town's fishing port. The neighbourhood has a residential character outside the July-August peak; Marbella's 159,786 inhabitants (INE, 2025) sustain year-round commerce, in contrast to seasonal coastal villages. Public transport covers 11 lines with 50 stops, and the bus stop near the property connects towards the centre and surrounding districts. Málaga city is 47 km away and Algeciras 66 km, both reachable via the A-7/AP-7 corridor. Traffic in central Marbella concentrates on the coastal avenue and around the old town in summer; the property's covered garage mitigates the main practical consequence of this.
The map shows the property within central Marbella: the coastline and Puerto Deportivo lie a short walk to the southeast, the old town slightly west, and the A-7/AP-7 corridor accessible inland. Markers indicate the nearest beach (738 m), supermarket (234 m), health centre (996 m) and the golf cluster 6 km to the southwest. The flat terrain between the house and the sea is characteristic of this part of the town.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Within Marbella's municipality of 114.3 km², this property occupies the central urban core rather than the peripheral golf and hillside zones. Relative positioning: Málaga city 47 km northeast, Algeciras 66 km southwest, Estepona and Puerto Banús respectively further along the coast in each direction. The property's differentiation within the local market is its central, service-dense setting: beach, hospital, schools, shops and transport within a one-kilometre radius, against a regional pattern where most comparably priced three-bedroom houses sit in suburban or golf-side communities dependent on the car.
Distances by straight line: Playa de la Bajadilla 738 m, Playa de Casablanca 2.4 km, Playa de la Fontanilla 2.9 km, a set of beaches walkable from the door. Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport (AGP) is approximately 39 km away, typically 40-50 minutes by car; Gibraltar (GIB) is 58 km.

Marbella records approximately 3,851 sunshine hours per year and an average annual temperature of 19.1°C, with monthly means ranging between roughly 12°C and 26°C. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts about five months, typically June to October. The town sits at low elevation, the property area at approximately 31 m above sea level, with a flat 1.4% gradient to the coast, meaning no stair-climbing or steep access routes between the house and the beach. The Sierra Blanca mountains behind Marbella provide the backdrop visible from upper floors in the town and shelter the coast from northerly weather, contributing to the microclimate for which the area is documented. For the property specifically, the southeast orientation of the terrace and balcony means sun from morning until mid-afternoon, with shade later in the day, a pattern suited to breakfast and lunch outdoors for most of the year.
