VL270018 is a south-facing townhouse located in a residential urbanisation near Nerja, positioned on the eastern edge of the Costa del Sol within the La Axarquía comarca. The property is spread across three levels and includes 120 square metres of living space, configured with two bedrooms and one bathroom. It is situated approximately four kilometres from the coastline and 63 kilometres from Málaga Airport. The immediate surroundings consist of low-density residential development in a rural setting, with views extending over the town and towards the sea and mountains.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property sits within a quiet urbanisation outside the central urban footprint of Nerja. The 4.0-kilometre distance to the nearest coastal access points places it in a location where car dependency is a structural characteristic rather than a preference. The 63-kilometre distance to the airport further confirms the peripheral positioning relative to the primary transport hub of the region.
The three-level layout distributes living space vertically, with the master bedroom positioned to access a private terrace. The original three-bedroom configuration was modified to two, which increases individual room dimensions. The single bathroom represents a fixed constraint for households requiring multiple simultaneous facilities. The fully furnished state and fully fitted kitchen allow for immediate occupation without procurement logistics.
This is a resale property in excellent condition, not a new-build development. There is no construction timeline, phased delivery, or off-plan risk associated with this transaction. The existing state of completion means all finishes, installations, and communal areas are operational and observable. Any future modifications, such as the noted option to add an en-suite bathroom, would fall under private renovation rather than developer obligation.
The property does not include private parking, relying instead on street availability. There is no private garden or pool; outdoor space is limited to the private terrace and communal areas. The single bathroom configuration cannot service multiple occupants simultaneously without queuing. Golf facilities are located over 60 kilometres away, placing the property outside practical range for regular play. An electric vehicle charging point requires a 7.1-kilometre journey.

This property corresponds to a specific set of buyer circumstances where the trade-off between proximity to the coast and budget parameters is accepted. A household prioritising a south-facing terrace, panoramic views, and communal pool access over immediate beachfront proximity will find the four-kilometre distance manageable. The two-bedroom, single-bathroom configuration suits a couple or a household where occupancy does not exceed two adults and one child simultaneously. The lack of private parking eliminates those with multiple vehicles or specific accessibility requirements. Buyers intending to use the property as a holiday home with intermittent occupation will find the fully furnished, turnkey state removes the logistical complexity of remote furnishing. Those seeking a permanent residence will need to accept the car-dependent nature of the location for all daily tasks, including grocery shopping at the 4.5-kilometre-distant supermarket and accessing healthcare at the 25-kilometre-distant hospital. The property does not suit buyers who require golf access within a fifteen-minute drive, as the nearest course is 61 kilometres away.
The property is classified in excellent condition, indicating recent maintenance or renovation activity. The living area includes a fireplace, which represents a structural feature rather than an aesthetic addition, providing supplementary heating during the cooler months of the 13 to 28 degree Celsius annual range. Air conditioning is installed for climate control during the warmer periods. The kitchen is fully fitted, and the property is supplied with full furniture, which standardises the interior finish to a specific taste and quality level that is observable prior to purchase. The communal garden and pool are described as well-maintained, suggesting the urbanisation has an active community management structure. The option noted for adding an en-suite bathroom to the master bedroom indicates that the plumbing infrastructure in that area of the property may already be partially accommodated, though this would require structural verification. The three-level spread means internal stair navigation is a daily feature, which is a fixed architectural characteristic regardless of mobility considerations.
The listed price of €359,000 places this property at the entry level for coastal-adjacent townhouses in the Nerja municipality. At 120 square metres, the price per square metre equates to approximately €2,992, which is below the median for the broader Costa del Sol but consistent with the eastern Axarquía corridor where prices sit lower than the central Málaga strip. The fully furnished inclusion removes a secondary expenditure that typically adds five to ten per cent to the effective acquisition cost. Comparable properties in the region, such as Astra Homes in Fuengirola, start at €364,000, suggesting this pricing reflects the greater distance from the airport and western infrastructure rather than a structural discount on quality.
The daily rhythm at this location operates at a deliberate pace dictated by its position outside the town centre. Mornings begin with south-facing light entering the upper-level terrace, which overlooks the urbanisation and surrounding landscape. The absence of immediate commercial activity means the first sounds are residential rather than commercial. Reaching Nerja's centre, the Balcón de Europa, or the nearest beach requires a drive of approximately ten to fifteen minutes, depending on seasonal traffic. The 4.2 per cent gradient towards the coast is moderate and does not present a significant driving challenge, though it does mean the property sits at a slightly elevated position relative to the shoreline. Evenings are characterised by the quiet of a low-density residential area, where the primary activity centres on the private terrace or the communal garden and pool area. The 22,132 resident population of Nerja creates a base level of year-round activity, but this particular urbanisation sits far enough from the central hospitality zones to remain insulated from tourist footfall. The 34 annual local fiestas will generate periodic increased activity in the town centre, but the impact at the property level will be limited to road congestion rather than noise or proximity effects.
Nerja operates as a self-contained municipality with 122 restaurants, 29 cafés, and 13 banks within a two-kilometre radius of the town centre. The property's position outside this radius means accessing these amenities requires planned travel. The municipality supports 7 primary schools and 2 secondary schools, providing educational infrastructure for families considering year-round residence. Healthcare is anchored by one health centre within the municipality, with the nearest hospital located 25 kilometres away in the neighbouring municipality. The 23 public transport stops and 6 bus lines provide limited connectivity, but the 4.5-kilometre distance to the nearest supermarket reinforces that the property is designed around private vehicle use. The 125 sports facilities within the municipality include the nearby Club de Petanca Nerja and the Piscina y Pabellon Cubierto, offering recreational options within shorter driving distances than the coastal access points.
The property is positioned in a residential urbanisation north-east of Nerja's central district. The map will show the 4.0-kilometre corridor to Playa de las Alberquillas and the 63-kilometre route westward to Málaga Airport. The surrounding terrain is characterised by low-density residential plots rather than agricultural or commercial land use.
Nerja occupies the easternmost position on the Costa del Sol within the province of Málaga, approximately 50 kilometres from the city itself. This positioning creates a measurable disconnect from the western corridor where golf courses, international school clusters, and the airport are concentrated. The La Axarquía comarca retains a more rural character than the central Costa del Sol, with lower population density and fewer large-scale residential developments. The 63-kilometre airport distance is the defining infrastructural constraint for this location relative to properties in Mijas or Fuengirola.
The nearest coastal access points are Playa de las Alberquillas at 4.0 kilometres and Cala del Pino at 4.4 kilometres. The four Blue Flag beaches in the municipality—Burriana, Maro, Playazo-Chucho, and Torrecilla—are all reachable within a fifteen to twenty-minute drive. Málaga Airport is located 63 kilometres away, translating to approximately one hour by car under standard traffic conditions. The nearest golf facility, Club de Golf Málaga Parador, is 61 kilometres distant, placing it outside the range of casual or frequent use. An electric vehicle charging station at ChargePoint is 1.0 kilometre from the town centre, whilst the nearest point noted in the project data is 7.1 kilometres from the property itself.

The property sits at approximately 41 metres above sea level, with a moderate 4.2 per cent gradient towards the coastline. The historical average of 3,937 sunshine hours per year positions Nerja among the higher-yield solar locations in southern Europe. The average annual temperature of 20.2 degrees Celsius, with a seasonal range of 13 to 28 degrees, creates a climate where heating is required for approximately three to four months and cooling for a similar period. The swimming season extends to six months, defined by water temperatures reaching or exceeding 20 degrees Celsius. The south-facing orientation of the property maximises daylight exposure on the private terrace throughout the year, though summer afternoon temperatures will limit outdoor comfort during peak hours without shade provision.

Nerja holds four Blue Flag designations across Burriana, Maro, Playazo-Chucho, and Torrecilla beaches, indicating sustained water quality and facility standards. The nearest beach to the property, Playa de las Alberquillas, sits at 4.0 kilometres and is characterised by a less developed shoreline compared to the central Burriana beach. The municipality's 125 registered sports facilities cover a broad range of activities, with the Club de Petanca Nerja located 0.2 kilometres from the town centre. The Piscina Pública del Ayuntamiento de Nerja provides a public swimming option at 0.9 kilometres from the centre. Golf infrastructure is notably absent from the immediate area, with the nearest courses concentrated around Málaga city at over 60 kilometres distance.

When compared to properties in the western Costa del Sol corridor, VL270018 presents a different set of trade-offs. Arosa in Mijas starts at €490,000, which is 36 per cent above the Nerja property's price point, whilst Waterfall Residences in Fuengirola begins at €720,000—more than double. These western properties benefit from proximity to Málaga Airport, golf courses within fifteen minutes, and denser international infrastructure. However, they also operate in areas with significantly higher population density and traffic volume. Astra Homes in Fuengirola, starting at €364,000, represents the closest direct price comparison, but that project's location provides immediate access to the coastal train line and a denser commercial environment. Nerja's eastern position means the buyer accepts greater airport distance and the absence of local golf in exchange for a lower purchase price per square metre and a municipality that retains a distinct identity separate from the continuous urban development of the western coast. The 501 annual transactions in Nerja, against a backdrop of 22,132 residents, suggest a market that is active but less speculative than the central Costa del Sol corridor. The Mediterranean lifestyle here has a quieter cadence, shaped by the Axarquía's rural hinterland and the 34 annual fiestas that structure the town's social calendar in a way that the more transient western municipalities do not replicate.
