A three-bedroom, two-bathroom townhouse of 153 m² is for sale in Riviera del Sol, on the Mijas Costa stretch of the Costa del Sol in the province of Málaga. The house, originally completed in 1992, has been fully refurbished and is key-ready. The asking price is fixed at €415,000. The property stands in an established urbanisation within walking distance of shops, restaurants and the beach, with the nearest supermarket approximately 146 m away and Playa de Calahonda - Riviera roughly 393 m as the crow flies. Marbella lies 16 km away and Málaga airport can be reached via the A-7 and AP-7 roads.
Against the wider Costa del Sol market, this townhouse occupies the established-resale segment rather than the new-build segment. Comparable new developments in the region currently advertise from €205,000 in Mijas (Lantana Residencial), from €269,000 in Estepona (Etherna Homes 2) and from €269,950 in Torre del Mar (Aquamar). Those from-prices typically apply to smaller apartments in off-plan or newly built phases, meaning a buyer at €415,000 here receives a finished, renovated product of 153 m² with three bedrooms in a mature coastal setting, a different trade-off from buying smaller off-plan and waiting for completion. Location-wise, Riviera del Sol sits between Fuengirola and Marbella, closer to the airport (roughly 21 km straight-line) than Estepona and with flatter terrain than many hillside developments further west. The area records roughly 3,800 housing transactions per year, an indicator of liquidity in the local resale market, and the tourism infrastructure, ten hotels with 2,131 beds, supports seasonal rental demand for owners who let the property. The trade-offs are equally concrete: the buyer accepts a 1990s building envelope, a 22 m² plot, communal rather than private pools and the absence of a listed private garage. For buyers prioritising walkable amenities and immediate availability over new-build specifications, the comparison favours a property of this type; for buyers seeking modern energy performance standards or a private pool, new-build alternatives further along the coast may serve better.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Riviera del Sol is a coastal urbanisation between Fuengirola and Marbella, at roughly 45 m above sea level on flat terrain. The location is urban with amenities within walking distance: a supermarket at 146 m, a pharmacy at 155 m and the nearest beach about 393 m straight-line. A bus stop is nearby, and Fuengirola train station lies 3.7 km away, as the crow flies.
The house offers three bedrooms and two bathrooms across three levels, with a refurbished kitchen, air conditioning, a fireplace, double glazing and a private garden with a barbecue area. Communal facilities include two large swimming pools and two children's pools. Fitted wardrobes and a private terrace add practical storage and outdoor space. The property is sold unfurnished.
This is an existing home, built in 1992 and recently renovated throughout, with new flooring, a new kitchen and modern bathrooms. The construction status is key-ready, meaning the property can be occupied immediately after purchase. Solar panels have been installed on the roof. Delivery dates are always indicative; in this case the renovation is already completed.
The property is a townhouse within a community, so the pools and grounds are shared with other residents, and community fees apply. It is sold unfurnished. Parking is not listed as a private garage in the available data. The plot is small at 22 m², so outdoor space is limited to the private garden and terrace rather than a large garden.
This townhouse fits several recognisable situations. A family seeking a permanent home on the Costa del Sol benefits from three bedrooms, two bathrooms, children's pools in the community and fifteen primary schools plus ten secondary schools recorded in the surrounding area. Buyers wanting a holiday property gain from the walkable location, beach, supermarket and restaurants within a short stroll, and from the low-maintenance garden and communal pools, which reduce the upkeep burden of a second residence. Investors may note that the wider area records roughly 3,800 housing transactions per year and ten hotels with 2,131 beds, indicating steady rental demand in a tourism-driven market. The property also suits buyers who prefer an existing, renovated home over off-plan purchase: there is no construction risk, the renovation is complete, and the condition of the house can be inspected directly. Conversely, buyers seeking a large private plot, a private pool or a gated villa will find this format does not provide those features, given the 22 m² plot and communal bathing facilities. The combination of key-ready status, south orientation and proximity to both the A-7 and AP-7 roads makes the house workable for year-round living as well as seasonal use.
The house was originally built in 1992 and has since been completely refurbished. The renovation includes a brand-new kitchen, modern bathrooms and new flooring throughout, which addresses the two areas, kitchen and bathrooms, that typically carry the highest renewal cost in older Spanish homes. Double glazing is fitted, improving insulation against both summer heat and road noise from the nearby coastal corridor. Air conditioning provides active cooling, while a fireplace offers supplementary heating for the cooler winter months, when average temperatures drop to around 14°C. Solar panels have been installed, which reduces water-heating or electricity costs depending on the installation type, a technical detail worth verifying during a viewing. Practical storage comes in the form of fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms. The private terrace and barbecue area extend the living space outdoors, and the garden views from the property face the communal greenery rather than the road. As with any 1990s building, the structural envelope predates current energy regulations; the renovation improves comfort but the overall thermal performance depends on wall and roof insulation, which cannot be confirmed from the available data. Buyers are advised to inspect the electrical installation and the solar system, both of which appear to have been updated. The condition is listed as good and recently renovated, consistent with the key-ready status.
The asking price is fixed at €415,000. This covers a 153 m² townhouse with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a renovated kitchen, air conditioning, solar panels and a private garden, sold unfurnished. The property is available immediately given its key-ready status. Buyers should additionally budget for community fees for the shared pools and grounds, annual IBI property tax and utility costs; exact figures can be requested from the seller. Compared with new-build alternatives in the wider region, which start from roughly €205,000 in Mijas to €269,950 in Torre del Mar for smaller units, this price reflects the renovated condition and the established coastal location rather than off-plan construction.
Daily life here revolves around convenience. The nearest supermarket sits roughly 146 m from the door and a pharmacy 155 m, which makes routine shopping possible on foot. Five restaurants and two pharmacies lie within 2 km. The beach at Playa de Calahonda - Riviera is about 393 m in a straight line, close enough for an evening walk or a morning swim during the roughly five-month season when sea temperatures stay at or above 20°C. The house itself is arranged over three levels: a living room with balcony views, three bedrooms of which at least two have balcony access, a dedicated recreation room with a pool table, and an outdoor grill area in the private garden. The south orientation supports sunlight on the terrace through the middle of the day. Communal pools, including two children's pools, cover swimming needs without private maintenance. A car is useful for regional trips, Marbella, Fuengirola and the golf courses are all short drives, but daily errands, the beach and the bus stop are reachable on foot, which reduces dependence on a vehicle for the ordinary rhythm of the week.
The immediate surroundings are urban and well-served. Within 2 km there are five restaurants and two pharmacies; the closest supermarket at 146 m makes daily grocery runs a walking matter. Health care is available through two health centres in the area, with a hospital 10 km away as the crow flies. For sport, Club de Pádel Cerrado del Águila lies 1.5 km away and Raquetas de Mijas 2.0 km, while Ciudad Deportiva Las Lagunas is 2.4 km distant. Public transport comprises four lines with fifty stops recorded, and a bus stop sits within walking distance of the house. Fuengirola train station, 3.7 km straight-line, connects the coast towards Málaga. Electric-vehicle charging is available 699 m away, with a Tesla Supercharger in Fuengirola at 7.7 km. The terrain towards the beach is flat with a gradient of about 1.1%, so walking and cycling are realistic options for most errands. The nearest beach by the general area data is Playa del Castillo at 3.8 km, though the Calahonda beaches lie within 400 m to 1 km of the property.
The map shows the property in Riviera del Sol, between Fuengirola and Marbella on the Mijas Costa. The coastline, the concentration of golf courses to the north-east and the A-7 corridor running parallel to the sea define the geography of this stretch of the Costa del Sol.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Riviera del Sol occupies the Mijas Costa section between Fuengirola (its station 3.7 km away) and Marbella (16 km). This positions the property in the central belt of the Costa del Sol, within reach of both the working-city amenities of Málaga, 35 km to the north-east, and the resort towns to the south-west. Algeciras and Gibraltar lie 78 km and roughly 75 km respectively to the south. The area records around 3,800 housing transactions per year, reflecting an active resale market rather than a dormant one.
The property sits in a coastal setting with beaches at 393 m to 1 km straight-line (Playa de Calahonda Riviera, Rocas del Mar and Calahonda), while Playa del Castillo and Playa El Chaparral lie 3.8 km away. Golf courses cluster nearby: Campo Los Lagos at 1.1 km, Cerrado del Aguila at 1.6 km, Cabopino golf at 3.2 km and El Chaparral at 4.5 km, all measured as the crow flies. Marbella is 16 km away and Málaga city 35 km; Málaga-Costa del Sol airport lies approximately 21 km straight-line, reachable via the A-7 motorway and the AP-7 toll road, both easily accessible from the house. Gibraltar airport is roughly 75 km away. Marinas at Fuengirola (4.3 km) and Puerto Cabopino (9.1 km) serve boating interests. Public transport covers four bus lines with fifty stops locally, and Fuengirola's railway station at 3.7 km provides a rail link along the coast.

The location lies at 45 m above sea level with a flat gradient of about 1.1% towards the sea, so no steep climbs stand between the house and the beach. The climate is Mediterranean: average monthly temperatures range from 14°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer, with an annual average of 18.6°C. The swimming season lasts roughly five months, during which sea temperatures remain at or above 20°C, approximately May through September. Winters are mild enough for year-round occupation, supported by the fireplace and air conditioning for the shoulder seasons. The surrounding landscape combines the built coastline with golf-course greenery: several courses within 1 to 5 km provide open, planted terrain that softens the urban character of the area. The viewpoint at La Cala de Mijas, 3.9 km away, offers a nearby destination for walks with coastal views.
