This four-bedroom, three-bathroom townhouse is situated in an established urbanisation in Mijas Costa, in the province of Málaga. Built in 2003 and now key-ready, the property offers 270 m² of living space across multiple levels, including a solarium, a basement and a storage room. The house faces south and sits within a gated complex with a communal pool, a children's pool and landscaped gardens. The asking price is fixed at €464,000. The location combines proximity to the coast with everyday amenities within walking distance, and Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport lies roughly 14 km away.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The townhouse stands in an urbanised part of Mijas Costa, roughly 279 m above sea level and about 4.7 km from the nearest beaches as the crow flies. A supermarket lies 239 m from the door, and the surrounding neighbourhood counts dozens of restaurants, cafés and banks within 2 km. The gradient towards the coast is steep, so the walk to the beach involves a noticeable climb back.
The property suits households needing four bedrooms and three bathrooms, with an ensuite bathroom in the principal bedroom. Practical features include fitted wardrobes, a covered terrace, a solarium, a garage and a separate storage room. The communal garden and two pools cover outdoor needs without private maintenance obligations. The kitchen is partially fitted, so the buyer should budget for completing it.
This is not a new-build project. The house was completed in 2003 and is described as being in good condition, ready for immediate occupation. The advantage for buyers is certainty: what is viewed is what is purchased, with no construction phase or indicative delivery dates. Renovation work, if desired, is limited to finishing touches such as the partially fitted kitchen.
The property does not offer a private pool or a private garden; both are communal. There is no seafront position, the coast lies more than 4 km away with a 6.5% gradient on the route down. The kitchen is only partially fitted. Construction dates from 2003, so buyers comparing against new-build projects in the area should factor in the age of installations and finishes.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A family relocating to the Costa del Sol permanently benefits from four bedrooms, nearby schools and the walkable amenities, while the garage and storage simplify the practical side of settling in. The gated complex with a children's pool addresses safety considerations for households with young children. Buyers seeking a second home that doubles as a rental asset form a second group. The south orientation, solarium and communal pools are features the holiday market responds to, and the 14 km distance to Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport, about a 20-minute transfer, shortens arrival and departure days. Mijas Costa's year-round tourism base of hotels and visitor beds supports off-season letting potential. Golf-oriented owners are a third group: Mijas Golf, Los Lagos and Los Olivos all lie within about 6 km. The property is marketed in the golf category, and the garage plus storage room accommodate clubs and trolleys. It fits less well for buyers who want to step directly onto the sand; the nearest beach is over 4 km away with a steep return climb, so beach days involve a short drive. It also does not suit those wanting a private pool or a fully modernised interior, the kitchen needs finishing and the construction dates from 2003. Buyers weighing it against new-build projects should compare insulation standards, energy performance and warranty terms rather than price per square metre alone.
The house was completed in 2003 and is presented in good condition. Photographic material shows a modern kitchen with wooden cabinetry, a bathroom with marble finishes around sink and toilet, and a bedroom with built-in wardrobes, indicating a property that has been maintained rather than left to deteriorate. The interior photography also shows tiled floors and functional window placements consistent with Andalusian construction of that period. The specification list points to a practical layout rather than a design-led one: a covered terrace, a solarium, a storage room, a basement and an ensuite bathroom. Fitted wardrobes throughout reduce the need for additional furniture purchases. The partially fitted kitchen is the clearest gap; buyers should view it during a visit to determine what remains to be installed and at what cost. Construction of 2003 vintage in this zone typically means cavity-block walls, aluminium or PVC window frames and standard gas or electric water heating. No data is available on recent upgrades to the electrical installation, boiler or glazing, so a technical survey before purchase would establish the remaining lifespan of these systems. Communal areas are part of the overall quality picture: the gated complex, landscaped gardens and the two pools, main and children's, are shared responsibilities, funded through community fees. The general condition of these shared elements is best assessed on site. The garage space is a structural advantage over comparable townhouses that rely on street parking, and the basement adds flexible space for a utility room, workshop or media room.
The asking price is fixed at €464,000 for this existing home; it is not a from-price, and no price list applies. For context, new-build comparables nearby start at €389,000 (Greenity, Mijas Costa) and €460,000 (Green Valley, Mijas Costa), while Acqua Gardens in Estepona starts at €524,600. Those figures typically represent smaller or differently configured units, so a direct comparison should account for the 270 m² of living space here, plus the garage, solarium and basement. As an existing, completed property, purchase costs follow resale rules rather than new-build rates. Availability is immediate upon completion of the purchase process.
Daily life here revolves around a residential urbanisation on the Mijas Costa hillside. The south orientation means the covered terrace and solarium receive sun throughout the day, which in practice extends outdoor living from spring well into autumn. Mornings can begin on the terrace with views over the garden and towards the sea in the distance, while the solarium serves as a private, upper-level spot for the warmest hours. The layout works for families or households that host guests regularly. Four bedrooms and three bathrooms, including an ensuite, reduce morning congestion, while the basement and storage room absorb seasonal items, sports equipment and luggage, relevant for international owners who travel back and forth. The garage removes the daily search for parking that affects many coastal urbanisations. The immediate surroundings are walkable for basics: the supermarket is 239 m away, and within 2 km there are some thirty restaurants, three pharmacies, four banks and three cafés. This density means the property does not depend on a car for daily shopping or an evening meal out. A car remains convenient for the beach, golf and the airport, but it is not necessary for everything. The rhythm of the area shifts with the seasons. During summer, the pools and gardens fill with residents and holiday tenants; outside the high season, the urbanisation quiets down considerably. With roughly 3,800 housing transactions per year in the zone and a mix of permanent residents and second-home owners, the neighbourhood functions year-round rather than shutting down in winter. Schools, fifteen primary and ten secondary in the wider area, and two health centres support full-time living.
The urbanisation sits on the Mijas Costa hillside at 279 m elevation, close enough to the coast to see the sea from the property, high enough to benefit from cooler evenings in summer. The surroundings are residential with a dense commercial underlayer: within a 2 km radius there are 32 restaurants, 3 pharmacies, 4 banks and 3 cafés, alongside 15 primary schools and 10 secondary schools in the wider zone. Two health centres serve the area, with the nearest hospital 6.7 km away as the crow flies. The neighbourhood is busy in the commercial sense but not urban in density; the dominant pattern is low-rise residential clusters with garden zones. Tourism is present but moderate, 10 hotels with about 2,131 beds, meaning the area hosts visitors without being dominated by hotel strips. Several viewpoints lie within walking distance (Mirador Hermanos Nuñez Andreu at 0.6 km and Mirador Juan Antonio Gómez Alarcón at 0.8 km), which reflects the elevated position and offers short walking routes with coastal views. The gradient towards the beach measures 6.5%, described as steep. In practice this means the trip down to the sand is pleasant, while the return is a genuine climb, many residents drive. The swimming season lasts about four months with water temperatures at or above 20°C, concentrated in the July, October window, though beach visits are feasible year-round given the regional climate.

Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Mijas Costa occupies the coastal stretch between Fuengirola and Marbella, functioning as the main commercial and residential zone of the wider Mijas municipality. The property's position places it roughly equidistant from the two anchors of the western Costa del Sol: Málaga city (24 km, about 579,000 inhabitants) and Marbella (24 km, about 148,000 inhabitants), both reachable within half an hour by car. This midpoint position is a genuine locational strength, employment, culture, shopping and healthcare in either direction are equally accessible. Algeciras lies 89 km to the south-west, relevant mainly for connections to Tarifa and Gibraltar. Within the regional hierarchy, Mijas Costa sits below Marbella in price terms while offering a fuller year-round infrastructure than many of the quieter residential pockets further east.
Distances below are straight-line, as the crow flies; actual road distances run longer. The nearest beaches are Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal (4.2 km), Playa de Torreblanca (4.5 km) and Playa de los Boliches (4.7 km). Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport lies approximately 15 km away, making it one of the closest airport positions on the entire Costa del Sol; Gibraltar Airport is roughly 80 km. Fuengirola's marina, Puerto Deportivo, is 5.7 km away. Public transport is well developed for a hillside location: 8 bus lines serve the area with 50 stops, and the Cercanías railway stations at Carvajal (4.3 km) and Fuengirola (5.5 km) connect along the coast towards Málaga city and the airport. A car is useful but not strictly necessary, daily shopping, schools and most services are reachable on foot or by local bus. For drivers, the A-7 and AP-7 motorways are accessible via the coastal corridor. Golf courses cluster conveniently: Campo Los Lagos at 5.2 km, Campo Los Olivos at 5.3 km, Mijas Golf at 5.7 km and Lauro Golf at 6.8 km. An electric-vehicle charger is available 4.5 km away, with a Tesla Supercharger in Fuengirola at 3.7 km. Sports facilities include Polideportivo Juan Roa Sánchez (1.8 km), the Lew Hoad tennis and padel club (2.4 km) and the municipal swimming pool (1.9 km).

The climate data for the area shows average monthly temperatures ranging from 14°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer, with an annual average of 16.9°C. This is a temperate Mediterranean profile: warm, dry summers and mild winters in which heating is needed only occasionally. The south orientation of this townhouse makes direct use of that pattern, with the covered terrace providing shade during midday hours in July and August while the solarium captures low winter sun. At 279 m elevation, the property sits above the coastal strip. This has two effects: slightly lower humidity and fresher nights than at sea level, and a panoramic aspect over the coastline. The trade-off is the 6.5% gradient towards the beach, a defining physical characteristic of the location that shapes how residents use the lower town and the coast. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts about four months. Outside that window, the sea remains walkable and the beaches quiet, with winter temperatures that still allow outdoor living most days. The surrounding hillsides, viewpoints within 1.5 km and the golf valleys inland add green recreational space beyond the beach zone.

The three nearest beaches, Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal, Playa de Torreblanca and Playa de los Boliches, all lie between 4.2 and 4.7 km from the property as the crow flies. Torreblanca-Carvajal and Los Boliches are established family beaches with chiringuitos and promenade access; Los Boliches in particular connects to the Fuengirola seafront, suitable for long walks and cycling. Golf is the strongest recreational theme within immediate reach: Campo Los Lagos (5.2 km) and Campo Los Olivos (5.3 km) form the well-known Mijas Golf complex, while Lauro Golf (6.8 km) lies slightly inland. For a golf-playing household, all major courses are within a 10-minute drive. Other facilities round out the picture: the Lew Hoad Tennis and Padel Club at 2.4 km is one of the Costa del Sol's recognised racket-sports venues, the municipal sports centre at 1.8 km and the municipal pool at 1.9 km offer affordable options, and Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola (5.7 km) provides marina services, boat trips and waterfront dining. The nearby viewpoints at 0.6–1.4 km offer short hiking routes with coastal panoramas, extending recreation beyond the summer season.

Within Mijas Costa itself, the most direct comparables are new-build projects. Greenity in Mijas Costa starts at €389,000 and Green Valley at €460,000, figures that bracket the €464,000 fixed asking price of this townhouse. The essential difference lies in what the money buys. New-build starting prices typically relate to smaller apartments with two or three bedrooms, modern energy standards and communal facilities in their first years of use. This townhouse, by contrast, delivers 270 m² of space, four bedrooms, a garage, a solarium and a basement, a volume and layout that new-build townhouses in this price band rarely match. The trade-off is age. A 2003 completion means twenty-year-old installations, a partially fitted kitchen and none of the ten-year structural warranties attached to newly delivered Spanish construction. Buyers comparing the two routes should weigh space against finish: €464,000 buys either a completed, spacious resale home or a smaller, brand-new unit with contemporary insulation and lower expected maintenance in the short term. Further along the coast, Acqua Gardens in Estepona starts at €524,600, reflecting Estepona's positioning in the higher-priced western corridor. Marbella, 24 km to the south-west, functions as the price benchmark for the region, with most comparable stock above this property's level. Fuengirola, immediately adjacent, offers similar amenities at somewhat lower average prices but with a denser, more touristic urban fabric. Mijas Costa's position between the two, residential calm on the hillside, full infrastructure in the valley, defines its place in the regional hierarchy, and the roughly 3,800 annual housing transactions in the zone indicate an active, liquid resale market, relevant for anyone factoring exit options into the purchase decision.
