This key-ready apartment is located in Elviria, a low-density residential area on the eastern side of Marbella, roughly 9 km from the old town as the crow flies. The property offers 112 m² of living space with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, positioned on an elevated ground floor with a covered terrace facing the adjacent golf course. The asking price is fixed at €390,000. The building was completed in 2002 and forms part of a gated complex with three communal swimming pools, landscaped grounds and an underground parking space included. Elviria combines villa neighbourhoods with low-rise apartment blocks, set among native pine trees and cork oaks.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in Elviria, considered the centre of Marbella East, about 9 km straight-line from Marbella town and 41 km from Málaga. The area is vegetated with pine and cork oak, with shops, restaurants and bars within a short radius. Three golf courses lie within 2 km, and the nearest beach, El Alicate, is 2.0 km away as the crow flies.
The property accommodates a three-bedroom, two-bathroom layout over 112 m², with an ensuite bathroom, fitted wardrobes and a fully fitted kitchen. One bedroom can serve as an office, as shown in the listing photography. The covered terrace faces east, receiving morning sun, with views over the golf course. Communal pools and gardens are shared facilities within the gated complex.
This is an existing home, completed in 2002, described by the seller as being in excellent condition and key-ready. There is no construction phase or delivery schedule involved; the transaction concerns a finished resale property. Completion dates for any purchase process remain indicative and depend on negotiation between buyer and seller.
The apartment is not furnished and is sold without furniture. It lies approximately 2 km from the beach as the crow flies, so it is not a frontline beach property. Parking consists of one underground space within a communal arrangement. The building dates from 2002, so construction standards reflect that period rather than current new-build regulations.

This property fits several recognisable situations. A buyer seeking a permanent residence on the Costa del Sol with enough space for a family will find the three bedrooms, ensuite bathroom and proximity of three schools, including the English International College at 0.8 km, directly relevant. The same layout works for a household that needs a home office, as one bedroom is photographed in that configuration. A buyer looking for a low-maintenance holiday home may value the gated complex with communal pools and gardens, where exterior upkeep is handled collectively, and the underground parking protects the car during longer absences. Golf players are an obvious match: Greenlife Golf is 0.9 km away and two more courses sit within 2 km, with the terrace overlooking the fairways. Buyers who want a frontline beach property should note the 2.0 km straight-line distance to El Alicate; this is a golf-side and green-setting home rather than a seaside one. Equally, those seeking new construction with modern energy standards will need to accept a 2002 building. The fixed asking price of €390,000 positions the apartment for buyers comparing resale value per square metre in Marbella East, where roughly 4,743 housing transactions take place per year, indicating an active and liquid local market.
The apartment is finished with marble flooring throughout and fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms, consistent with the standard of early-2000s construction in Marbella East. Windows are double glazed, and climate control consists of air conditioning. The kitchen is fully fitted, so the buyer moves into a working kitchen rather than a shell needing installation. The property is sold unfurnished, which leaves interior decoration to the new owner. The ensuite bathroom arrangement, two bathrooms for three bedrooms, reduces morning congestion in a full household. The listing photographs show tiled floors in the hallway areas and a glazed balcony with seating, indicating that the outdoor space is usable across seasons rather than only in summer. The complex itself is described as well maintained, with three communal swimming pools and landscaped grounds within a gated perimeter. Security is handled through the gated access, and parking is provided underground, which shelters the vehicle from sun and keeps street-level areas free of cars. As a 2002 building, buyers should expect construction methods of that era; an independent technical survey remains the standard step to verify installation condition, as with any resale purchase. The seller's description of excellent condition is a claim to be verified during viewing, not a guarantee.
The asking price is fixed at €390,000 for this existing home; it is not a from-price. For that amount, the buyer acquires 112 m² of living space with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a covered terrace, an underground parking space, and shared use of three communal pools within a gated complex. As a resale property completed in 2002, the price reflects the current second-hand market in Elviria rather than a new-build price list. Comparable new-build projects elsewhere on the coast, 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, are priced per unit and vary with specification, so direct comparison requires checking what each price includes.
Daily life in this Elviria apartment revolves around a quiet, green residential setting with a golf course as the immediate outlook. The elevated ground-floor position and east-facing covered terrace mean morning sun on the terrace, afternoons in shade, a pattern suited to breakfast outdoors and sheltered use of the outdoor space during hot hours. The layout of three bedrooms and two bathrooms, including an ensuite, supports both permanent residence and use as a holiday home with guests. The neighbourhood itself is characterised by low density: villas interspersed with low-rise apartment complexes, under a canopy of native pines and cork oaks. Within 2 km there are 29 restaurants, 9 cafés, 4 pharmacies and a bank, which covers routine errands without leaving the area. Three schools within the same radius and the English International College at 0.8 km make the location workable for families, while five health centres serve the wider district. The rhythm of the area is residential rather than resort-based. Elviria functions as the commercial centre of Marbella East, so shopping and dining are close at hand, yet the streets around the complex remain quiet outside peak summer weeks. A car is the practical choice for beach trips and for reaching Marbella town, roughly 9 km away in a straight line, although three public transport lines with 39 stops provide a basic alternative. For golfers, Greenlife Golf lies 0.9 km away, with Santa María Golf & Country Club at 1.9 km.
Elviria is a vegetated residential area dominated by pine trees and cork oaks, located between Marbella town and the smaller coastal settlements to the east. Within a 2 km radius, the dataset records 29 restaurants, 9 cafés, 4 pharmacies, 3 schools and a bank, enough for daily needs without regular trips further afield. Elviria also functions as the commercial hub of Marbella East, with broader shopping facilities in the area. The tourism infrastructure is substantial but not overwhelming: 52 hotels with 12,781 beds operate in the wider area, meaning the population swells in summer and quiets in the off-season. For healthcare, five health centres serve the region. Education is well covered, with 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools recorded across the district. Transport-wise, three public bus lines with 39 stops provide basic connectivity, but the practical pattern for most residents is car use: Marbella at 9 km straight-line, the beach at 2.0 km, and Málaga airport at roughly 32 km straight-line. The gradient to the beach is 1.5%, effectively flat, so cycling and walking to the coast are realistic options. The nearest train station is in Fuengirola, west along the coast.

Within the Costa del Sol, Elviria occupies a specific position: it is the recognised centre of Marbella East, close enough to Marbella town, 9 km straight-line, for convenient access to its old town and marinas, yet distinctly quieter and greener. The area sits 41 km from Málaga city and roughly 32 km straight-line from Málaga Airport, placing it within the established western Costa del Sol corridor between the airport and Marbella. Compared with high-density resort strips, Elviria's villa-dominated fabric with scattered low-rise apartment blocks gives it a residential character that persists year-round.
The nearest beach, El Alicate, lies 2.0 km away as the crow flies, with Playa de Artola at the same distance and Playa de Cabopino at 4.5 km. The route to the coast is essentially flat at a 1.5% gradient. Marbella town is 9 km straight-line, Málaga city 41 km, and Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport roughly 32 km in a direct line, road distances and travel times will be longer, and the nearest railway connection is at Fuengirola. Golf is the closest amenity of all: Greenlife Golf Marbella at 0.9 km, its driving range at 1.1 km, and Santa María Golf & Country Club at 1.9 km. Three marinas, Puerto Cabopino at 4.7 km, Marina Marbella at 7.6 km and Marina la Bajadilla at 7.8 km, serve boating and waterfront dining. For sports, Don Carlos Tennis Club is 1.8 km away and two swimming pool facilities sit at 2.5 km. Within 2 km of the apartment, 29 restaurants and 9 cafés cover dining out, while the English International College lies 0.8 km away for internationally oriented schooling. A car remains the standard means of transport, complemented by three local bus lines.

Elviria sits at a low elevation of 30 m above sea level with a flat approach to the coast, which keeps the apartment accessible on foot or by bicycle. The climate data shows an average annual temperature of 19.1°C, typical of the Marbella coastline, where winters are mild and summer heat is moderated by sea proximity. The swimming season, periods with sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts about five months, generally from late spring into early autumn. The natural surroundings are a defining feature: the area is covered with native pine trees and cork oaks, giving Elviria a greener and more wooded character than the drier coastal strips further east. This vegetation softens the streetscape and separates the low-density housing. For residents, the practical consequences are morning sun on the east-facing terrace, a shaded garden environment within the complex, and outdoor activity that remains comfortable for most of the year. Beach visits are a 2.0 km trip rather than a doorstep activity, which suits those who prefer greenery and golf views over direct sea frontage.

The nearest beaches are El Alicate and Playa de Artola, both 2.0 km away in a straight line, with Playa de Cabopino at 4.5 km. Playa de Artola, next to the Cabopino dunes, is one of the better-preserved natural beach areas on this stretch of coast. The swimming season of roughly five months defines the window in which sea swimming is comfortable, with water temperatures at or above 20°C. Golf is the primary recreational anchor of the immediate area: Greenlife Golf Marbella at 0.9 km, its driving range at 1.1 km and Santa María Golf & Country Club at 1.9 km together give residents three options within a five-minute drive. Don Carlos Tennis Club at 1.8 km adds court sports, and two swimming pool facilities at 2.5 km supplement the three communal pools inside the complex itself. For evenings out and waterfront leisure, Puerto Cabopino marina at 4.7 km is the closest of three marinas, offering the classic Costa del Sol combination of berths, chiringuitos and restaurants. The 29 restaurants and 9 cafés within 2 km of the apartment cover year-round dining without needing to drive into Marbella.

Against the wider Costa del Sol market, this Elviria apartment represents the resale segment of Marbella East, priced at roughly €3,480 per square metre of living space. New-build comparables elsewhere on the coast sit at lower entry points, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000, but those are from-prices for new construction, typically with additional costs for parking, storage or specification upgrades. A direct comparison requires checking what each price includes, and new-build units at those entry levels are often smaller or less centrally positioned within their towns. The premium here is locational rather than structural: Elviria belongs to the Marbella municipality, the most established premium market on the coast, with roughly 4,743 housing transactions per year indicating consistent liquidity. The apartment's setting between three golf courses, 2.0 km from the beach and 9 km from Marbella old town, places it in the classic Marbella East lifestyle zone, greener, quieter and lower in density than Marbella centre or Fuengirola, and considerably closer to the airport than Estepona, which lies another 30-plus kilometres west. Compared with Torre del Mar and Mijas, both further east or northeast, Elviria offers shorter airport access of roughly 32 km straight-line against noticeably longer journeys from those towns. Against Estepona, it trades newer construction stock for a mature, wooded environment and proximity to Marbella's amenities. Buyers weighing this property should therefore frame it as a location-driven purchase: a 2002 building in a prime established area, rather than a new build in an emerging one.
