This two-bedroom townhouse is located in Las Chapas, on the eastern side of Marbella, within the La Reserva de Marbella residential complex. The property offers 80 m² of living space spread over two floors, plus a private terrace of approximately 30 m² and a small entrance patio. Built in 1990 and since renovated, the home is key-ready and offered fully furnished. The communal complex includes shared swimming pools and landscaped gardens. The asking price is a fixed €360,000. Marbella town centre lies approximately 6 km away as the crow flies, and Málaga Airport around 34 km.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property sits in a suburban urbanisation in Las Chapas, part of Marbella municipality. The setting is residential rather than central, with the broader Marbella area providing the full range of services. Marbella centre is roughly 6 km away in a straight line, while Málaga city lies about 43 km to the east. The location is described as close to golf and within an established urbanisation.
The home suits a household seeking low-maintenance living with outdoor space. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms cover a small family or couple, the 30 m² terrace extends living space outdoors, and communal pools remove the burden of private pool upkeep. Air conditioning, a fitted kitchen and fitted wardrobes provide everyday practicality. Street parking applies, as no private garage is included.
This is not a new-build project. The townhouse was completed in 1990 and has subsequently been renovated; the construction status is key-ready, meaning it can be occupied immediately upon purchase. An enclosed semi-basement area exists at entrance level, which other owners in the community have converted into usable space, subject to permissions and approvals. Any such work would require verification with the relevant authorities.
The property does not include a private pool, private garden, garage or dedicated parking space; parking is on the street. Living space is 80 m² with two bedrooms, which limits capacity for larger households. Views are urban rather than sea or mountain panoramas. The semi-basement conversion potential is unpermitted until formally approved, so it cannot be counted as existing usable area.

This property fits a buyer who wants an immediately habitable home in the Marbella area without undertaking a renovation. A couple or small family using it as a permanent residence would find the two bedrooms, two bathrooms and terrace sufficient for everyday living, while the communal gardens and pools offer outdoor amenity without private maintenance responsibility. It also suits a second-home buyer: the furnished, key-ready condition means the house can be used or let out shortly after purchase, and the 'Investment' categorisation of the property indicates its relevance for rental use, subject to any community restrictions. Buyers focused on outdoor living will value the 30 m² south- and west-facing terrace, which extends the usable area considerably beyond the 80 m² interior. The property is less suitable for households needing more than two bedrooms or a private pool and garage, those requirements are not met here. A buyer comfortable with street parking and community living will find the arrangement straightforward. Finally, the semi-basement appeals specifically to those willing to pursue a permitted conversion; anyone treating that space as guaranteed extra square metres should adjust expectations until approvals are confirmed.
The property was built in 1990 and has since been renovated; its listed condition is good, with a modern interior evidenced by the open-plan kitchen layout and contemporary finishes visible in the photographs. The kitchen is fully fitted and includes an island with seating, integrated into the living-dining space, a layout typical of recent renovations rather than the original 1990 configuration. The home is delivered fully furnished, which covers immediate practical needs and removes a separate furnishing expense, though the quality and longevity of included items should be assessed during a viewing. Climate control consists of air conditioning, and fitted wardrobes are present in the sleeping areas. Utilities connected are electricity and drinkable water. The construction is of its period, so structural elements, roofing, insulation, window frames and plumbing, date from the original build or its renovation and should be inspected in the usual due diligence process. The semi-basement is currently an enclosed, unconverted space; any works there would be the buyer's responsibility, both financially and administratively. Communal elements, including the pools and landscaped gardens, are maintained through the community structure. Overall, the finishing level reads as a refreshed resale home ready for occupation rather than a new construction with modern build standards and warranties.
The asking price is fixed at €360,000 for the property as a whole, this is an existing home, not a new-build development with a price list. The price reflects a renovated, key-ready townhouse of 80 m² with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, sold fully furnished, which reduces initial outlay compared with an unfurnished purchase. For context, comparable new-build projects in the region currently start lower in some locations: Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000. Those are new constructions with from-prices, whereas this figure is a single fixed asking price for one specific resale property.
Daily life in this townhouse is organised around two floors. The first floor holds the living and dining area with an open-plan kitchen, one bedroom and a guest toilet, keeping the main daytime space on a single level. The second floor contains the master bedroom with en-suite bathroom and access to the private terrace of roughly 30 m², the largest outdoor space of the property and, given its south- and west-facing orientation, the spot that captures the most sun, particularly in the afternoon and evening. At entrance level there is a small private patio of about 7 m² leading to the enclosed semi-basement. The elevated position of the home above ground level makes that lower space a candidate for conversion into additional usable area, though this depends on permissions. Because the house sits within a community, the gardens and pools are shared and maintained collectively, which reduces the owner's individual maintenance load but involves community rules and fees. Las Chapas is a suburban residential area, so the rhythm is calm and neighbourhood-oriented rather than urban. Shops, restaurants and services in the wider Marbella area are accessed mainly by car. With Marbella centre about 6 km away as the crow flies, a trip into town is a short drive, while the nearer sports facilities and everyday amenities cover routine needs.
Las Chapas sits on Marbella's eastern side, in a suburban band of residential urbanisations. The immediate surroundings are residential, with the wider area offering extensive everyday infrastructure: within 2 km there are 294 restaurants, 118 cafés, 122 pharmacies and 60 bank branches, indicating dense commercial provision for routine needs. Sports facilities are notably close, Campo de Fútbol Malaka at 0.3 km and Ciudad Deportiva Carranque at 0.7 km as the crow flies. Education is well covered, with 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools in the area, and five health centres serve local healthcare demand. The nearest beaches listed are Playa de San Andrés at 2.2 km and Playa de la Misericordia at 3.4 km, reachable in a few minutes by car. Marinas such as IGY Málaga Marina and Marina Real Club Mediterráneo lie within about 3 km. Public transport is limited, one line with a single stop is recorded, so a car is effectively necessary for daily life. Street parking at the property aligns with that reality. Tourism infrastructure is substantial, with 48 hotels and over 12,600 beds in the region, which means the area is busier in summer and quieter outside the season. Housing turnover is active at roughly 4,399 transactions per year, reflecting a liquid local market.

Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Las Chapas belongs to Marbella municipality, one of the Costa del Sol's principal residential and tourist centres, with roughly 148,000 inhabitants. Positioned east of Marbella centre, the area places residents between the town's services (about 6 km away) and the wider coastal corridor towards Málaga city at 43 km. Algeciras lies roughly 70 km to the west. Within the region, Las Chapas is positioned as a suburban residential zone rather than a resort or city-centre location, which distinguishes it from both frontline beach developments and central Marbella apartments in character and typically in price.
Accessibility is primarily car-based. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is approximately 34 km away in a straight line, with actual road distance somewhat longer; Gibraltar Airport is an alternative at about 62 km. Marbella city centre lies roughly 6 km away, and Málaga city about 43 km, both providing full urban services. Beaches are within short driving distance, Playa de San Andrés at 2.2 km as the crow flies. Golfers have three courses within reach: Club de Golf Málaga Parador at 8.0 km, Club de Golf de Guadalhorce at 8.3 km and Campo de Golf Miguel Ángel Jiménez at 10.8 km, consistent with the property's 'close to golf' setting. With only one public transport line and stop recorded, bus use is limited and most journeys, shopping, school runs, beach visits, happen by car. Parking at the property is on the street, so no guaranteed space comes with the home.

The location sits at about 20 m above sea level, giving a flat coastal setting without significant slopes around the home. The average annual temperature is 19.1°C, typical of the Costa del Sol's mild Mediterranean climate, and the swimming season extends to five months with sea temperatures at or above 20°C, roughly late spring through early autumn. Nearby viewpoints such as Mirador de la Alcazaba (2.1 km) and Mirador de San Miguel (2.3 km) offer local vantage points for walks. The terrace orientation, south and west facing, maximises afternoon and evening sun, which suits outdoor dining through much of the year, though west-facing exposure also means the terrace heats up on summer afternoons. Winters are mild enough for year-round occupation, a relevant factor for permanent residents as well as seasonal visitors.

Coastal recreation is within easy reach by car. The nearest listed beaches are Playa de San Andrés at 2.2 km, Playa de la Misericordia at 3.4 km and Playa Sacaba Beach at 4.7 km, all straight-line distances. For boating and waterfront leisure, IGY Málaga Marina and Marina Real Club Mediterráneo lie about 2.3–2.8 km away, with Puerto Deportivo del Candado further out at 8.4 km. Golf is a defining recreational feature of the area: three courses, Club de Golf Málaga Parador, Club de Golf de Guadalhorce and Campo de Golf Miguel Ángel Jiménez, sit within roughly 8 to 11 km. Everyday sport is even closer, with football and sports centres within a kilometre. The property itself contributes to recreation through its communal pools and landscaped gardens, usable throughout the five-month warm season and maintained by the community.

Within the wider Costa del Sol market, this property occupies a specific niche: a renovated resale townhouse in an established Marbella urbanisation, priced at a fixed €360,000. Comparing it with current new-build offerings clarifies the trade-offs. Lantana Residencial in Mijas starts from €205,000 and Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, both lower entry points, but in locations further from Marbella and with new-build from-prices that typically apply to the smallest units. Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona starts from €321,000, closer in price but again a new construction on the western side of the coast. What this Las Chapas property offers in exchange for its price is the Marbella address itself: proximity to the town centre at about 6 km, access to the area's extensive amenities, hundreds of restaurants, cafés and pharmacies within 2 km, and an established community with pools and gardens already in place. Against new-build competitors, the 1990 construction means no developer warranty structure, and finishes reflect renovation rather than original specification; on the other hand, the home is immediately available and fully furnished, avoiding the waiting period and fitting-out costs attached to off-plan purchases. The property's 'Investment' categorisation aligns with Marbella's rental demand, supported by substantial tourism infrastructure in the region, though any letting use must comply with community rules. For buyers prioritising the Marbella location and move-in readiness over new-build specification, this fixed-price resale sits in a different decision category than the from-price developments elsewhere on the coast.
