This three-bedroom townhouse is situated in Las Lagunas, the inland residential and commercial district of Mijas Costa, in the province of Málaga. The property forms part of a small gated community built in 1995 and offers approximately 80 m² of built space arranged over three floors, including a roof terrace with solarium. The setting is urban rather than coastal: a supermarket lies within 250 metres, a pharmacy within 300 metres, and the nearest beaches are roughly 4–5 kilometres away. Fuengirola town centre and its train station are about ten minutes by car, and Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is approximately 14 kilometres away. The property is completed and available, with some cosmetic renovation noted in places.
Within Mijas Costa itself, this townhouse competes directly with two nearby projects that illustrate the local price ladder. Laguna Nova, from €245,000, sits below it and demonstrates that sub-€300,000 entry points exist in the area, typically in apartment format with less outdoor space. Greenity, from €378,000, sits above it and, as a new-build development, offers modern energy specifications and warranty coverage that a 1995 resale property cannot match. At €350,000, this house asks buyers to weigh the value of its three-floor layout, roof terrace with bathroom and laundry, gated setting and included parking/storage against the absence of new-build certification and the confirmed need for cosmetic renovation. Further afield, Acqua Gardens in Estepona (from €524,600) reflects the premium commanded by newer western Costa del Sol developments. Structurally, the Las Lagunas submarket is underpinned by permanent residency rather than tourism: 3,800 property transactions recorded locally, 15 primary schools and 10 secondary schools in the zone, two health centres, and a median provincial income of €16,450 that frames local purchasing power. The area's climate credentials, 3,886 sunshine hours, a 4.2 km nearest beach, three golf courses within six kilometres, place it squarely within the standard Costa del Sol offer, but its distinguishing feature is the balance between inland pricing and coastal accessibility: Marbella and Málaga are both 24 km away, and the airport 14 km, which few sub-€400,000 locations in the region can match while also supporting full-time living infrastructure. For buyers comparing across the region, the relevant trade-off is simple: this property offers space, security and urban services rather than sea views, a pool, or new-build condition.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Las Lagunas sits inland from the Mijas coastline, roughly 4.2 km straight-line from Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal, at an elevation of about 279 metres. The district functions as the residential hinterland of Fuengirola, with shops, schools and health centres within walking distance. The terrain slopes towards the sea at approximately 6.5%, which affects routes on foot. A car is useful but not essential; 50 bus stops and 8 public transport lines serve the area.
The house is arranged for year-round practical living: a fitted kitchen with patio access, a living room with fireplace and dining area, a ground-floor office, three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a guest WC. The top-floor attic opens onto a roof terrace with a bathroom, laundry room, BBQ area and outdoor dining space. Double glazing and air conditioning are installed. Communal underground parking and a private storage room are included.
This is not a new-build development. The property was completed in 1995 (indicative) and is described as being in good overall condition, with some areas noted as requiring cosmetic renovation. The kitchen is partially fitted and the property is sold part-furnished. Buyers should budget for updating work if a more contemporary finish is expected. There is no construction-phase waiting period; the property is ready for occupancy.
The property does not offer sea views (views are urban), a private garden, or private parking (parking is communal underground). There is no swimming pool recorded among the community facilities. The kitchen is only partially fitted, and renovation is explicitly listed as required in places. The built area of 80 m² over three floors means compact room sizes. The nearest beach is over 4 km away, so this is not a walk-to-beach location.
This property suits several recognisable situations. A buyer relocating permanently who wants schools, health centres and shops within walking distance will find the location directly serves that need: 15 primary schools and 10 secondary schools operate in the wider zone, and two health centres are accessible. A remote worker or hybrid professional can use the ground-floor office, which opens onto the interior patio, avoiding the cost of external workspace. A buyer prioritising outdoor living space on a modest budget may find the roof terrace, with its bathroom, laundry, BBQ and gym area, delivers more usable exterior square metres than a similarly priced apartment with a balcony. A small household that values security (gated complex, underground communal parking, private storage room) over proximity to the beach would also find the configuration practical, since the coast is a 4–5 km drive. Conversely, this is not the property for a buyer wanting sea views, a private garden, a communal pool, or the ability to walk to the sand; those requirements point elsewhere. Buyers seeking turnkey condition should also note the renovation requirement in parts of the house and the partially fitted kitchen. The 80 m² distributed over three floors means stairs are part of daily life, which matters for households with limited mobility.
The construction dates from 1995, which places it in the era of standard Spanish residential building with cavity-block construction, hollow-brick partition walls and typical plaster finishes. The property is described as being in good overall condition, with cosmetic renovation explicitly recommended in some areas, buyers should treat redecoration, and possibly kitchen and bathroom updating, as part of the acquisition plan. The kitchen is partially fitted; the listing photographs show a living room with fireplace, ceiling fan and television point, a dining area, and a bedroom with air conditioning unit and desk space. Technical features that are confirmed include double glazing throughout, air conditioning, a fireplace, fitted wardrobes in the second bedroom, a walk-in dressing room converted from an adjacent room, and a separate utility/laundry room on the roof-terrace level. The property is part-furnished. No energy performance certificate rating is recorded in the available data, which is common for resale stock of this age; buyers should request the certificado de eficiencia energética during due diligence. Practical considerations typical of 1990s townhouses apply: three-floor vertical distribution, an attic conversion on the top level, and an interior patio as the ground-floor light source. Communal infrastructure includes underground parking and a private storage room, both relevant to daily functionality in a district where on-street parking can be constrained.
The asking price is €350,000. This positions the property above Laguna Nova in the same area (from €245,000) but below Greenity in Mijas Costa (from €378,000) and well below Acqua Gardens in Estepona (from €524,600). At €350,000 for 80 m², the price reflects the three-floor layout, roof terrace, gated setting and included parking and storage rather than land or new-build specification. Comparable resale transactions in the wider area number around 3,800, indicating an active secondary market. As this is a completed 1995 property, additional costs for the noted cosmetic renovation should be factored into the total budget.
Daily life here is organised around urban convenience rather than coastal leisure. The property sits in a small gated complex in Las Lagunas, a densely built residential district that forms part of the Mijas Costa municipality. A supermarket is 239 metres away and a pharmacy 265 metres, so basic errands are walking-distance matters. Within a two-kilometre radius there are some 32 restaurants, four banks, three cafés and three pharmacies, which indicates a fully established, year-round neighbourhood rather than a seasonal resort zone. The accommodation works vertically: ground floor for living and working, with a living room, separate kitchen, office and guest WC all connecting to an interior patio; first floor for sleeping, with a main bedroom served by a converted walk-in dressing room, a second bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a family bathroom; and a top floor given over to the attic room and roof terrace. The roof terrace is the property's principal outdoor space and includes a bathroom, laundry room, BBQ and gym area, oriented south with urban views. The rhythm of the area is that of a working Spanish town: schools (15 primary and 10 secondary in the wider zone), two health centres and public transport lines (50 stops) support permanent residency. Beaches are a short drive rather than a stroll, Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal at roughly 4.2 km, so days at the coast involve the car or the C1 train from Carvajal station, 4.3 km away.
Las Lagunas functions as the everyday engine room of Mijas Costa: a permanent residential district with a full service layer rather than a tourist strip. The immediate vicinity is walkable for daily needs, supermarket at 239 m, pharmacy at 265 m, and the two-kilometre radius contains 32 restaurants, three cafés, four banks and three pharmacies, which supports year-round living independent of the holiday season. Public transport coverage is substantial for a district of this size: 8 lines and 50 stops, plus the C1 cercanías railway accessible at Carvajal station (4.3 km), which runs along the coast to Fuengirola and north to Málaga city and the airport. Healthcare is available through two health centres in the zone, with the hospital 6.7 km away. For sport, the Polideportivo Juan Roa Sánchez is 1.8 km, the municipal swimming pool 1.9 km, and the Lew Hoad Tennis and Padel Club 2.4 km. The area sits at 279 m elevation with a 6.5% slope towards the sea, so cycling and walking routes towards the coast involve gradients. EV owners should note the nearest charging point is 3.7–3.8 km away, including a Tesla Supercharger in Fuengirola.
The map shows the property within Las Lagunas, the inland residential district of Mijas Costa, west of Fuengirola. Note the concentration of shops and services within one kilometre, the train line along the coast to the south, the golf courses to the north-east, and the beaches of Torreblanca and Los Boliches to the south-east, a classic Costa del Sol arrangement of town, hills and sea within a short radius.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Las Lagunas occupies a middle position in the Costa del Sol hierarchy: more affordable and more residential than beachfront Fuengirola or Marbella (both around 24 km away), and closer to the airport than Estepona. Málaga city, with its 579,076 inhabitants, airport, cultural offer and AVE rail connection, is under half an hour by car or train. Marbella provides the premium retail and dining contrast at similar distance. Algeciras, at 89 km, is the gateway to Gibraltar and North Africa but rarely part of daily life here. The position is genuinely two-sided: inland enough for lower prices and full local services, coastal enough for a ten-minute beach run.
Straight-line distances frame the accessibility picture: Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is roughly 14–15 km, about 15–20 minutes by car depending on traffic, and Gibraltar Airport is an alternative at approximately 80 km. Beaches lie 4.2–5.3 km away, Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal, Playa de Torreblanca and Playa de los Boliches, reachable in under ten minutes by car or via the train from Carvajal. Golf options cluster on the Mijas side: Mijas Golf at 5.7 km, Campo Los Lagos at 5.2–5.9 km and Campo Los Olivos at 5.3–6.0 km, with Lauro Golf at 6.8 km. Fuengirola's marina, Puerto Deportivo, is 5.7 km. Regional cities are equidistant: Málaga and Marbella are both around 24 km, giving access to two distinct urban centres within half an hour.

The climate data for this location records an annual average temperature of 16.9°C with a seasonal range of 14–26°C, and approximately 3,886 sunshine hours per year, a figure comparable with the sunniest parts of southern Spain. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures at or above 20°C, spans about four months, concentrated in summer; outside that window sea bathing is possible but cooler. The property sits at 279 metres above sea level, high enough to catch breezes and views over the urban skyline from the south-facing roof terrace, but not so high as to add materially to travel time. The 6.5% slope towards the coast characterises the terrain: Las Lagunas descends towards Fuengirola in a series of terraced hillsides, and the district is bounded inland by the Mijas mountains, which provide walking and viewpoint destinations such as Mirador Hermanos Nuñez Andreu at 0.6 km.

The nearest beaches, Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal (4.2 km), Playa de Torreblanca (4.5 km) and Playa de los Boliches (4.7 km), are part of the Fuengirola beach chain, a stretch of wide, family-oriented sand backed by the paseo marítimo with chiringuitos and facilities; Los Boliches in particular is a long-established residential beach with a Blue Flag history. Recreation inland includes the Mijas golf cluster: Campo Los Lagos and Campo Los Olivos are both within 5–6 km, and Mijas Golf at 5.7 km, a compact set of options for regular play without committing to a single club. Sports facilities are close at hand: the municipal pool at 1.9 km, Polideportivo Juan Roa Sánchez at 1.8 km, and the Lew Hoad Tennis and Padel Club at 2.4 km. Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola (5.7 km) provides marina services, boat trips and waterfront dining. Tourism infrastructure in the area includes 10 hotels with roughly 2,131 beds, indicating moderate seasonal visitor pressure rather than mass-tourism intensity.
