This key-ready apartment is located in Miraflores, a residential district on the eastern side of Málaga city, roughly 5 kilometres as the crow flies from the historic centre. The property offers three bedrooms, one bathroom and 85 m² of living space, built in 2005 and sold with a fixed asking price of €325,000. The nearest beach, Playa de las Acacias, lies about 0.7 km away in a straight line, within walking distance. The area combines city infrastructure with a coastal setting: 52 restaurants, 16 pharmacies and 15 primary schools within 2 km, served by 29 public transport lines. Málaga Airport is approximately 12 km away in a direct line.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Miraflores sits in the eastern coastal belt of Málaga, about 6 km from the city centre and close to the beaches of El Palo and Pedregalejo. The district has a flat profile at sea level, with a 0.6% gradient towards the shore. Shops, schools and health centres are concentrated within a 2 km radius, and 29 bus lines connect the area to the rest of the city.
The apartment suits households needing three bedrooms within a modest footprint of 85 m². Practical features include a private terrace, fitted wardrobes, a lift in the building, an underground parking space and a storage room. Communal facilities consist of two swimming pools, a children's pool and shared gardens. Centralised hot and cold air-conditioning regulates the indoor climate year-round.
This is not a new-build development. The apartment was completed in 2005 and is key-ready, meaning it can be occupied directly after purchase. The construction is roughly two decades old, finished with marble flooring and a semi open-plan kitchen. It is sold furnished as seen, which shortens the practical timeline for moving in or letting it out.
The property has one bathroom for three bedrooms, which limits simultaneous use by larger households. There is no private pool; swimming facilities are communal. The living area of 85 m² is compact for a three-bedroom layout, so the third bedroom functions as a small double or single room. No private garden is included, only shared green areas.

Several buyer profiles fit this property. A family with children attending local schools benefits from the three bedrooms, the 25 educational institutions within 2 km and the two health centres in the area. A retiree or part-year resident seeking a low-maintenance coastal base within a real Spanish neighbourhood, rather than an expat urbanisation, finds the walkable amenities and communal pools practical. An investor targeting the Málaga rental market, which records around 3,190 housing transactions per year in the area, may value the furnished condition, parking space and proximity to both the beach and the university side of the city. The single bathroom is the main constraint: households where several people need simultaneous morning routines will feel this limitation. The compact third bedroom suits a child, a guest or a home office rather than a second couple. Buyers wanting a contemporary new-build finish should note the 2005 construction date and adjust expectations accordingly, the marble flooring and fitted kitchen are of that era, even though the condition is described as good. A buyer without a car can live here, since 29 bus lines and 50 stops serve the district; the included garage space becomes a convenience rather than a necessity.
The apartment dates from 2005 and reflects the construction standards of that period. Flooring throughout is marble, a common and durable choice for Andalusian apartments of this vintage, cool underfoot in summer and easy to maintain. The kitchen is semi open-plan and fully fitted, connecting to the lounge and dining area, a layout that supports both everyday meals and informal entertaining. Climate control is centralised, delivering both hot and cold air-conditioning, which covers the full temperature range of a region where monthly averages run from 15°C in winter to 28°C in summer. The bathroom contains a bath with a shower over it, a combined solution rather than a separate walk-in shower. Both main bedrooms are doubles, one with fitted wardrobes, and the third room also has fitted wardrobes, providing usable storage despite its smaller size. A lift serves the building, and the underground garage space plus separate storage room are practical additions rarely found at this price point so close to the coast. The property is sold fully furnished as seen, which transfers both convenience and responsibility: the buyer takes over the interior in its current state. The communal areas, two adult pools, a children's pool and landscaped gardens, are maintained by the community. Overall, the finishing level is consistent with a well-kept 2005 building rather than a renovated or new development, and buyers should budget accordingly if they wish to modernise elements such as the bathroom.
The apartment is offered at a fixed asking price of €325,000, not as part of a new-build price list. For this budget the buyer receives 85 m² of living space, three bedrooms, a terrace, an underground parking space and a storage room in a 2005 building with communal pools and gardens. Comparable new-build projects in the wider region start lower, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000, but those prices are entry-level units in earlier construction phases. The price positions this property between budget new-build inland options and higher-priced coastal developments such as Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000.
Daily life in Miraflores follows a coastal-urban rhythm. The beach at Playa de las Acacias is a 10 to 15 minute walk along flat terrain, and the boardwalks of Pedregalejo and El Palo, both within about 1 km in a straight line, are traditional fishing-quarter beaches lined with chiringuitos and small restaurants. Mornings can start with sun on the south-facing terrace, given the apartment's orientation. The surrounding district is fully built-up and residential rather than touristic: 15 primary schools and 10 secondary schools within 2 km indicate a year-round community, and the 32 local public holidays per year reflect an active municipal calendar. Groceries, pharmacies (16 within 2 km), banks (11) and cafés (14) are all within walking or short driving range. Sports facilities are close at hand, with the Aviva! sports centre, the Polideportivo Municipal José Paterna and the Piscina Fundación Victoria each within about 1.3 km. The commute into central Málaga is manageable by bus or car, with train stations such as Málaga Centro Alameda about 5.3 km away in a direct line. The apartment's mountain views towards the hinterland add a visual counterpoint to the urban setting. For a buyer combining city employment or schooling with beach proximity, the location supports both without requiring a car for daily errands, though parking is included for trips further afield.
Miraflores belongs to the eastern stretch of Málaga city, where residential neighbourhoods meet the beaches of the former fishing districts. Playa de las Acacias lies 0.7 km away as the crow flies, with Playa de El Palo at 0.9 km and Playa de Pedregalejo at 1.0 km, three swimmer-friendly options within a short walk, and the swimming season lasts six months with water temperatures of 20°C or more. The district's infrastructure is dense: 52 restaurants, 14 cafés, 16 pharmacies, 11 banks and 3 dentists within a 2 km radius cover nearly all daily needs. Education is well represented, from 15 primary schools to 10 secondary schools, and two health centres serve the local population. For recreation beyond the beach, sports centres sit within about 1.3 km, and viewpoints such as Mirador Este (1.9 km) offer walking destinations with coastal panoramas. Marinas at El Candado (2.0 km) and along the city front provide mooring and waterfront activity. The setting is urban and lived-in year-round, supported by a tourism infrastructure of 10 hotels and 2,131 beds that is modest relative to resort towns further west.
The map shows the apartment's position in Miraflores, east of Málaga's centre and within walking distance of the Acacias, El Palo and Pedregalejo beaches. Distances shown are straight-line; road routes may be longer. The pin's placement illustrates how city amenities, the coastline and the airport all sit within a compact radius.

Miraflores occupies the eastern flank of Málaga city, placing it inside the Costa del Sol's capital rather than in one of the resort towns. Málaga centre is 6 km away in a direct line; Marbella lies 54 km to the west and Granada 84 km to the north-east, both feasible as day trips. This position gives the property a different character from western Costa del Sol locations: an authentic city neighbourhood with beach access, rather than a touristic enclave. The province's median income of €16,450 and the district's high transaction volume indicate an active, ordinary residential market rather than a luxury segment.
Accessibility is a strong feature of this location. Málaga city centre lies about 6 km away in a straight line, reachable by bus along the 29 lines serving the district or by car via the coastal avenue. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is roughly 12 km as the crow flies, one of the shorter airport distances on the Costa del Sol, which matters for frequent travellers and rental guests. Train connections run from stations such as Atarazanas (5.0 km) and Málaga Centro Alameda (5.3 km, direct-line figures), linking to regional and high-speed services. Gibraltar Airport, at about 108 km direct, is an alternative mainly for specific routes. Golfers have three courses within reach: Club de Golf Málaga Parador at 11.4 km, Campo de Golf Miguel Ángel Jiménez at 14.3 km and Club de Golf de Guadalhorce at 14.5 km, all reachable in well under half an hour by car. The flat terrain (0.6% gradient to the beach) makes walking and cycling realistic for daily trips.

The climate is one of the area's core assets. The average annual temperature is 19.5°C, with monthly averages ranging from 15°C in the coolest months to 28°C in summer, a pattern that supports outdoor living for most of the year. The swimming season lasts six months, during which sea temperatures stay at or above 20°C. Elevation is effectively at sea level, and the gradient towards the beach is a mere 0.6%, meaning no steep walks home from the shore, a practical point for older residents or those carrying beach gear. The south-facing orientation of the apartment maximises sun exposure on the terrace, and the mountain views towards the hinterland frame the skyline to the north. The urban location means green space is found in the communal gardens and along the coast rather than in wide natural reserves, though the eastern beaches and seafront promenades provide continuous outdoor walking routes.

Three beaches sit within a kilometre in a straight line: Playa de las Acacias (0.7 km), Playa de El Palo (0.9 km) and Playa de Pedregalejo (1.0 km). These are the beaches of Málaga's eastern neighbourhoods, urban, accessible and busy in summer, backed by the seafront walks and fish restaurants of the old fishing quarters rather than high-rise resort development. For structured recreation, the Aviva! sports centre, the Polideportivo Municipal José Paterna and the Piscina Fundación Victoria pool are all within roughly 1.3 km. The community itself adds two adult pools and a children's pool, with one pool directly accessible from the apartment's block. Sailing and water sports are served by Puerto Deportivo del Candado at 2.0 km, plus the Real Club Mediterráneo and IGY Málaga marinas at 4.1 and 4.2 km respectively. Golf requires a short drive, with three courses between 11 and 15 km away.

Miraflores is the name of several places in Spanish-speaking countries. It means "behold the flowers" or "flowers view" from mirar and flores ("flowers"). It is commonly used as a name for a region or neighborhood that is considered especially beautiful or ornate.

Within the eastern Costa del Sol, this Miraflores apartment occupies a distinct niche compared with the surrounding new-build market. Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts from €269,950, roughly €55,000 less, but Torre del Mar is a smaller town some 30 km further east, with thinner city infrastructure and slower connections to the airport. Lantana Residencial in Mijas enters the market from €205,000, the lowest entry point among the comparables, yet Mijas-based projects at that price level typically sit inland or in early construction phases, without the immediate beach access this apartment offers. Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona, from €321,000, is priced almost identically but sits on the western Costa del Sol, around 75 km from Málaga airport and oriented towards the Marbella-Estepona resort corridor rather than a working city. The choice between these options is largely a choice of lifestyle. Eastern Málaga offers a genuine urban-Spanish environment: local schools, year-round residents, fish restaurants on the Pedregalejo front, and an airport within about 12 km as the crow flies. The western corridor offers resort amenities, larger expat communities and golf-centric living. At €325,000 for a key-ready, furnished three-bedroom unit with parking and storage, the price per square metre sits near €3,800, a city-market figure rather than a resort-new-build figure. Buyers comparing this property against new-build lists should weigh the age of the 2005 construction and the single bathroom against the advantages of immediate availability, an established neighbourhood and no off-plan delivery risk.
