A key-ready, fully furnished two-bedroom apartment of 64 m² in Las Lagunas, the inland district of Mijas on the Costa del Sol. Built in 2006 and maintained in good condition, the property includes a lift, fitted wardrobes, double glazing and a fully fitted kitchen. The asking price is fixed at €244,500. Las Lagunas sits directly behind the Fuengirola coastline, roughly 1.7 km as the crow flies from Playa de Santa Amalia, with a train station and an extensive network of local bus stops within short reach. The area offers a high density of everyday amenities, from pharmacies and banks to schools and health centres.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment is set in Las Lagunas, the most urban part of Mijas municipality, bordering Fuengirola. The nearest beach, Playa de Santa Amalia, lies 1.7 km away in a straight line, with the terrain essentially flat. Fuengirola's train station is 1.2 km away as the crow flies, and eight public transport lines with fifty stops serve the district, reducing dependence on a car.
The home offers two bedrooms, one bathroom and 64 m² of living space, compact but functional. A lift, double glazing, fitted wardrobes and air conditioning in the bedroom cover basic comfort needs. The fully fitted kitchen and complete furnishing mean the property can be occupied without renovation work, which matters for buyers seeking immediate use or rental income.
This is not a new-build project. The apartment was completed in 2006 and is available key-ready, with construction finished and the property in excellent condition per the listing data. There is no delivery phase or staged payment plan; the purchase concerns an existing home that can be transferred once standard completion formalities are finalised.
The property has one bathroom only and 64 m² of built area, which limits space for larger households. No parking space, storage room, garden, private pool or terrace is listed in the available data. Community facilities are not specified. The building dates from 2006, so construction and installations are nearly two decades old despite the reported condition.

This property fits several recognisable situations. A buyer seeking a low-maintenance second home near the coast, within walking infrastructure and a short distance from the beach, will find the location and furnished condition convenient. Investors may note the fixed price of €244,500, the reduced-price classification and the rental dynamics of a district with year-round demand from residents rather than only tourists, the area records around 3,800 housing transactions per year, indicating an active local market. Buyers prioritising public transport can manage without a car: the train link at Fuengirola station is 1.2 km away as the crow flies and connects along the coast towards Málaga, while fifty bus stops serve the district. The apartment is less suitable for households needing more than one bathroom, a private parking space, generous storage or outdoor space of their own, as none of these are listed. It also does not suit buyers specifically seeking new construction or a gated resort environment with communal pools and gardens. For a single person, a couple, or a small family using it as a base close to schools and health centres, the combination of flat terrain, dense amenities and proximity to Fuengirola's seafront covers most practical requirements.
The building dates from 2006, placing it in the modern construction era of the central Costa del Sol: reinforced concrete structure, cavity-style facades and standard municipal utility connections of that period. The listing reports the condition as excellent, which for an almost twenty-year-old apartment indicates active maintenance. Interior photographs show tiled floors throughout, including the bathroom and hallway, with an arched passage separating the hall from the living areas, a typical Andalusian detail of that generation of building. Wooden interior doors frame the hallway, and the bedroom contains a wooden dresser together with a wall-mounted air-conditioning unit for climate control. The kitchen is fully fitted with cabinetry and appliances in place, and the property is sold fully furnished, down to the sofa and coffee table in the living-dining area. Technical features listed include a lift in the building, fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms and double glazing, the last point mattering for both thermal insulation and noise reduction in a built-up district. The bathroom is complete with sink, toilet and tiled finishes. What the data does not specify: heating system beyond the air-conditioning unit, hot-water installation, recent community renovations or the technical condition of plumbing and electrics. A buyer would verify these points during a viewing and through the notary due-diligence phase, as is standard for a 2006 property.
The asking price is fixed at €244,500, this is an existing home with a set price, not a price-list new development. With 64 m² of built area, the price corresponds to roughly €3,820 per square metre, which is modest for the central Costa del Sol, where new-build apartments typically start well above this level. The listing carries an investment and reduced-price classification, indicating the price has already been adjusted. Comparable new-build projects in the wider region start from €205,000 in Mijas (Lantana Residencial), €269,950 in Torre del Mar (Aquamar) and €321,000 in Estepona (Etherna Homes 2). Because the apartment is sold furnished and key-ready, acquisition costs beyond the purchase price mainly involve transaction taxes and notary fees.
Las Lagunas functions as the working, year-round heart of Mijas municipality, a dense residential district with a village-scale centre rather than a resort atmosphere. Daily life here is practical: within a two-kilometre radius the data lists 180 restaurants, 55 cafés, 33 pharmacies, 21 banks and 8 dentists, meaning almost every errand is walkable. Education and healthcare are well represented, with 15 primary schools, 10 secondary schools and 2 health centres nearby, signalling a settled local population rather than a seasonal one. The apartment itself, on a middle floor with a lift, suits a rhythm built around compact urban living: mornings on nearby streets, errands within minutes, and the beach a short trip away when the weather invites it. The bedroom has air conditioning, and double glazing throughout reduces street noise and summer heat gain. Sports facilities cluster close by, Ciudad Deportiva Las Lagunas is 300 metres away and two further municipal sports centres lie within one kilometre. The swimming season runs about four months with sea temperatures of 20°C or more, while the average annual temperature of 18.6°C supports outdoor activity for most of the year. The district's position directly behind Fuengirola means the marina, the seafront and the resort economy are all within two kilometres, yet the immediate setting remains residential and locally oriented.
Living in Las Lagunas means daily life in a fully built-up, service-rich district with the Fuengirola coastline on the doorstep. Within two kilometres, the data counts 180 restaurants, 55 cafés, 33 pharmacies, 21 banks and 8 dentists, a density comparable to a small town centre. The single park within that radius is complemented by the sports infrastructure: Ciudad Deportiva Las Lagunas at 300 metres, Complejo Deportivo Municipal Elola at 800 metres and Polideportivo Las Cañadas at one kilometre. A public swimming pool, Piscina María Peláez, lies 1.1 km away. The district sits at 30 metres above sea level with a gradient to the beach of just 1.8%, so walking and cycling to the coast are realistic options. Tourism presence is measured, 10 hotels with 2,131 beds, which keeps the area quieter outside the summer months than the seafront itself. The train connection at Fuengirola station, 1.2 km away in a straight line, links the district along the coast to Benalmádena, Torremolinos and Málaga, making car-free living workable. For households with children, the concentration of 25 schools across primary and secondary levels within the area is a defining practical asset.
The map shows the apartment's position in Las Lagunas, immediately north-west of Fuengirola's seafront. Note how the three beaches cluster within a two-kilometre band, while the train station and the sports facilities sit even closer, a footprint that makes the district notably walkable for Costa del Sol standards.

Las Lagunas occupies a strategic middle position on the Costa del Sol: adjacent to Fuengirola, 22 km as the crow flies from Marbella (147,958 inhabitants) and 28 km from Málaga city (579,076 inhabitants). Algeciras lies 86 km to the south-west, towards Gibraltar. This places the apartment within the continuously built-up coastal corridor between Fuengirola and Málaga, the most densely populated stretch of the region, with the full service infrastructure that implies. The location combines coastal proximity with inland residential pricing, which largely explains the price level relative to seafront properties.
The nearest beach, Playa de Santa Amalia, lies 1.7 km away as the crow flies, with Playa de San Francisco at 1.8 km and Playa del Castillo at 2.0 km. Fuengirola's marina, Puerto Deportivo, is 1.8 km distant. For air travel, Málaga-Costa del Sol airport is approximately 19 km away in a straight line, and Gibraltar airport 77 km. Golfers can reach Campo Los Lagos at 2.6 km, Cerrado del Aguila at 3.2 km and Campo Los Olivos at 3.3 km, all measured as the crow flies; actual road distances will be somewhat longer. Public transport is a strong point: eight lines and fifty stops serve the area, and three train stations, Fuengirola (1.2 km), Carvajal (4.8 km) and Torremuelle (7.5 km), provide coastal rail access. An EV charging point, the Fuengirola Supercharger, is 5.4 km away, relevant for electric-vehicle owners. Given the flat terrain and the density of amenities, a car is useful but not essential for daily living here.

The climate data points to a typical Mediterranean coastal pattern: average monthly temperatures ranging from 14°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer, with an annual average of 18.6°C. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures at or above 20°C, lasts around four months, roughly June through September, after which sea swimming becomes a matter of personal tolerance. The elevation of 30 metres above sea level and the 1.8% gradient to the beach mean the terrain is flat throughout the district, with no hills between the apartment and the coast. This has a direct practical consequence: walking and cycling to the seafront require no effortful climb, and the apartment itself needs no stairs thanks to the building lift. Rainfall is concentrated outside the summer months, in line with the regional pattern. The double glazing and bedroom air conditioning address both temperature extremes and street noise, which is the main comfort variable in a built-up district of this density.

Three beaches lie within two kilometres of the apartment: Playa de Santa Amalia (1.7 km), Playa de San Francisco (1.8 km) and Playa del Castillo (2.0 km), all measured in a straight line. These are the urban beaches of the Fuengirola seafront, backed by the promenade with its chiringuitos and restaurants. Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola at 1.8 km offers berths, waterside dining and boat trips. Golf is close at hand for a district of this price level: Campo Los Lagos (2.6 km) and Campo Los Olivos (3.3 km) form the Mijas Golf complex, while Cerrado del Aguila (3.2 km) is a shorter course. For everyday sport, the Ciudad Deportiva Las Lagunas is 300 metres from the property, with two further municipal sports complexes and the Piscina María Peláez public pool within about a kilometre. The combination means that beach days, golf rounds and regular training sessions can all be organised without long journeys, a density of recreational options unusual at this price point on the central Costa del Sol.

Against comparable offerings on the central Costa del Sol, this apartment occupies a distinct position: it trades new-build status for location and price. Lantana Residencial in Mijas starts from €205,000 for new construction, roughly €40,000 below this asking price, but lies further from the coast and involves a delivery phase rather than immediate availability. Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts at €269,950, about €25,000 more, in a town 40-plus kilometres up the coast, further from Málaga airport. Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona starts from €321,000, some €76,500 above this property, in a more resort-oriented setting with longer travel times to Málaga city and the airport. What this apartment offers instead of new construction is a finished, furnished home in the most connected part of Mijas municipality: 19 km straight-line from Málaga-Costa del Sol airport, 1.2 km from a coastal rail station, and within two kilometres of three beaches and Fuengirola marina. The rental and resale dynamics also differ. Las Lagunas records roughly 3,800 housing transactions per year in its wider area and has a year-round population supported by 25 schools and two health centres, which sustains tenant demand outside the summer season, relevant given the listing's investment classification. The median provincial income of €16,450 per year frames the local affordability context: this is a mass-market district, not an exclusive enclave. Buyers choosing this property over the new-build alternatives are effectively selecting immediate usability and urban infrastructure over contemporary specifications, communal facilities and developer warranties. That trade-off suits some purchase strategies and not others; the fixed price of €244,500 for a furnished, walkable, flat-terrain location is the core of the proposition.
