This townhouse is located in Elviria, a low-density residential area roughly 6 km east of Marbella's old town on the Costa del Sol. The property offers 83 m² of built space across two bedrooms and one bathroom, built in 1970 and now in need of renovation. It sits within a gated community with a communal swimming pool and garden, in an urban setting where a supermarket, pharmacy, and numerous restaurants are within walking distance. The nearest beaches, El Alicate and Playa de Artola, lie approximately 2 km away, while several golf courses, including Greenlife Golf Marbella, are under 2 km from the property.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property stands in an established residential part of Elviria, near the coast but not directly on it. Shops, a pharmacy, schools, and restaurants are reachable on foot or by bicycle. Marbella's centre is about 6 km west, and Málaga Airport approximately 32 km north-east in a straight line. The immediate area consists of villas and low-rise apartment buildings set among pine and cork oak vegetation.
The house provides two bedrooms, one bathroom, a fitted kitchen, a private terrace, and fitted wardrobes within 83 m². Communal facilities include a swimming pool, garden, and gated access. The layout and single bathroom suit small households or use as a second home. Wi-Fi is installed. The condition is recorded as requiring renovation, which affects immediate habitability expectations.
This is not a new-build project. The townhouse dates from 1970 and is recorded as completed, with its condition listed as requiring renovation. No construction phase, developer guarantees, or delivery schedule applies. Purchasers acquire an existing resale property in an established gated community, and renovation planning would be their own responsibility after purchase.
The property has one bathroom for two bedrooms, 83 m² of built area, and a north-east orientation with urban and street views rather than sea views. No private pool, private garden, garage, storage room, or lift is listed. Renovation is required before the interior reaches a modern standard. Parking arrangements are not specified in the available data.

This property matches a buyer seeking an established Marbella East address at a comparatively accessible price point, who is prepared to undertake renovation work. Situations in which it fits include: a second home near golf courses and beaches where walking access to shops and restaurants matters more than sea views; a small household or couple for whom two bedrooms and one bathroom are sufficient; a purchaser with a renovation budget who wants to control finishes and layout; and a buyer prioritising location and land value over interior condition. It is less suitable for buyers wanting a move-in-ready home, a second bathroom for guests or family, private outdoor space beyond the terrace, or designated parking within the complex. The proximity of the English International College and three schools may be relevant for families, though the single bathroom constrains larger households. For investors, the Elviria location and rental demand generated by 52 hotels and nearly 13,000 tourist beds in the area provide context, though renovation costs and community rules on letting would need verification.
The townhouse dates from 1970 and its condition is explicitly recorded as requiring renovation. Current interior elements include a fully fitted kitchen, fitted wardrobes, and Wi-Fi, with marble flooring visible in the living area according to image analysis. The photographic material shows dated finishes, including period soft furnishings and a bedroom with two single beds, consistent with the stated renovation requirement. Purchasers should anticipate updating electrical installations, plumbing, kitchen, and bathrooms to modern standards, subject to survey findings and community regulations for works within a gated complex. No energy performance certificate rating is provided in the available data; Spanish law requires one for sale, so it should be requested during due diligence. The building's age means construction methods and insulation standards differ from current building codes, which affects both comfort in summer months and potential energy costs. The communal elements, pool, garden, and gated access, are managed by the community of owners, with monthly fees to be confirmed. A technical survey is the standard step for properties of this vintage before finalising an offer, as it identifies structural and installation conditions that the listed description does not cover.
The property is listed at €315,000 for an 83 m² townhouse with two bedrooms and one bathroom in a gated community with communal pool and garden. Compared with new-build alternatives in the wider region, such as Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €269,000, this price reflects the Marbella East address rather than the property's size or condition. The renovation requirement should be treated as an additional budget item when evaluating total acquisition cost. Pricing is stated as a starting/listed figure; availability and final terms are confirmed with the selling party.
Daily life around this townhouse is shaped by Elviria's position as the commercial centre of Marbella East. Within a two-kilometre radius there are 29 restaurants, 9 cafés, a supermarket at roughly 500 metres, a pharmacy at under 450 metres, and three schools, including the English International College about 800 metres away. This density means most errands, grocery shopping, pharmacy visits, coffee, dinner, can be done on foot or by bicycle, which is uncommon for villa-dominated areas of the Costa del Sol. The house itself faces north-east and looks onto the street and urban surroundings, so mornings receive the most direct light on the private terrace, while afternoons rely on the communal garden and pool area. The terrain is essentially flat, with only a 1.5 per cent slope toward the coast, so walking and cycling are practical year-round. The nearest beaches, El Alicate and Playa de Artola, are about 2 km away, a short drive, a cycle ride, or a 25-minute walk. Playa de Cabopino and its dunes lie 4.4 km east. Golf is a defining feature of the immediate surroundings: Greenlife Golf is under a kilometre away, with its driving range and Santa María Golf & Country Club also within 2 km. Public transport is available through three bus lines serving 39 stops in the area, and Don Carlos Tennis Club sits 1.8 km from the property. The community is gated, which structures access to the complex.
Elviria functions as the practical hub of Marbella East. The property's immediate surroundings include a supermarket at 511 metres, a pharmacy at 445 metres, and a bank within two kilometres. Healthcare access includes five health centres in the wider area, with the nearest hospital approximately 3.6 km away. Education options within reach include three schools within two kilometres and 41 primary schools plus 28 secondary schools in the broader region. With 29 restaurants and 9 cafés nearby, dining out does not require a car. The area's character is low-density and green, covered largely with native pine and cork oak, which distinguishes it from denser coastal strips. Outside the summer season the area remains active due to its resident population and the presence of year-round amenities. A car remains useful for the 2 km trip to the beach, the 6 km to Marbella centre, and airport transfers, but is not required for daily errands. Three public transport lines with 39 stops provide connections toward Marbella and Fuengirola, where the nearest train station is located.
The map shows the property's position in Elviria relative to the coastline, Marbella to the west, and the concentration of golf courses immediately south and east. Distances shown are straight-line measurements; the flat terrain means actual walking and cycling routes follow the road network through the residential area.

Elviria sits at approximately 30 metres above sea level with a flat 1.5 per cent slope toward the coast, which removes height-related obstacles from walking and cycling. Historical climate data for the area records around 3,855 hours of sunshine per year and an average annual temperature of 19.1°C. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts approximately five months. The north-east orientation of this particular house means the terrace receives morning rather than afternoon sun, a practical consideration for outdoor use in the hottest months. The surrounding vegetation, predominantly native pines and cork oaks, contributes to the green character of the neighbourhood and provides some shade and wind shelter. Rainfall concentrates in the winter half of the year, with dry, warm summers typical of the Mediterranean climate zone.

Don Carlos Tennis Club (1.8 km) and two swimming pool facilities at 2.5 km supplement the sports infrastructure. The area's 52 hotels and extensive tourist infrastructure mean organised activities, water sports, and dining are available year-round, while the flat terrain suits running and cycling on local roads.

Within the eastern Marbella market, this townhouse competes less with new-build developments and more with resale stock in gated communities of similar vintage. New-build comparables in the wider province include Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000), and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €269,000), all offering modern construction, current energy standards, and no renovation obligation at lower entry prices. The €315,000 asking price for this property therefore reflects the Elviria/Marbella East address, where the coastal location, established infrastructure, and golf amenities command a premium over Torre del Mar, Mijas, and Estepona. What distinguishes Elviria from those areas is its function as the service hub of Marbella East: a full set of shops, restaurants, schools, and health facilities within a 2 km radius, set in low-density villa surroundings with native pine and cork oak cover. Annual property transaction volumes of 4,743 in the area indicate an active resale market, which supports liquidity relative to quieter inland zones. Buyers weighing this property against new builds should compare total cost including renovation against move-in-ready pricing, and factor in that a 1970 building will not match current insulation or energy requirements without works. The trade-off is essentially location maturity and walkability against interior condition and energy performance.
