This west-facing townhouse is located on the outskirts of a gated community in Cabo Roig, on the southern Costa Blanca. The property offers two double bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living area of 75 m² and a plot of 100 m², built in 1970 and now available key-ready. The asking price is fixed at €209,995. Within 200 metres, as the crow flies, lies Playa Cala la Caleta, and the immediate area counts more than fifty restaurants, several pharmacies, banks and cafés within a two-kilometre radius.
Within the wider southern Costa Blanca market, this townhouse occupies a specific niche: an existing, key-ready home inside a gated community, directly adjacent to the beach. Comparable listings in the region are mostly new-build apartment projects. In Torrevieja, Apartments Palangre Beach starts from €160,000 and Edificio Sun & Center from €169,000, both roughly €40,000 to €50,000 below this property's fixed price of €209,995. Further inland at Urbanización El Raso, Oasis Laguna 2 Phase II starts at €227,000, above this price point. The differences reflect location and product type. The Torrevieja projects are new construction, which typically means better insulation, modern energy performance and lower immediate maintenance, but their from-prices usually apply to the smallest units and their beach proximity varies. Oasis Laguna sits in a residential inland setting rather than on the coast itself. This Cabo Roig townhouse, by contrast, trades new-build specification for a beach distance of 0.2 km and an established community with mature gardens and pools, assets that new developments need years to grow. The 1970 construction year is the main counterweight in this comparison: buyers exchange the warranties and efficiency of new construction for location, and they should price a potential renovation accordingly. The regional context supports demand: Cabo Roig sits between the Murcia and Alicante employment areas, within reach of three provincial cities, and benefits from a five-month swimming season and an average annual temperature of 18.9 °C, factors that sustain both holiday-let interest and permanent residency in Orihuela Costa.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Cabo Roig is a coastal district in the municipality of Orihuela, in the province of Alicante. The townhouse stands on the edge of a gated residential community, approximately 200 metres, measured in a straight line, from Playa Cala la Caleta. The terrain is flat, with a gradient of 0.5 per cent towards the sea, which makes the walk to the beach straightforward for most residents.
The home is arranged over two floors with a glazed front terrace, a lounge with dining area, a spacious kitchen, two double bedrooms upstairs, a family bathroom and a guest WC. Communal swimming pools and landscaped gardens are available to residents. With 75 m² of living space and a west-facing orientation, the property suits both holiday use and year-round residence.
This is not a new-build development. The townhouse was completed in 1970 and is offered as an existing, key-ready home, meaning it can be occupied directly after purchase. The construction date is indicative and reflects the original completion year; the interior shown in the listing photographs includes an updated kitchen and bathroom with modern fittings and marble detailing.
The property offers two bedrooms and 75 m² of living space, which limits space for larger households. There is no private swimming pool; bathing is provided through communal facilities. No private garage, storage room or garden details are recorded in the available data. The building dates from 1970, so buyers should verify the current condition and technical state through an independent survey before purchase.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A couple seeking a low-maintenance second home near the sea will find the compact layout, communal pools and 200-metre distance to the beach align with holiday use, where the glazed terrace adds usable living space in spring and autumn. Small families with one or two children can use the two double bedrooms for year-round living, supported by the density of daily services: pharmacies, banks, dentists and more than fifty eating options within two kilometres reduce the need to travel for errands. Buyers prioritising walkability will note that the beach, Zenia Boulevard shopping centre and local bars are all described as within walking distance, and the flat terrain with a 0.5 per cent gradient makes those walks undemanding. Electric-car owners have charging points within 1.4 km, including Ionity La Zenia. The home is less suitable for buyers needing three or more bedrooms, a private pool or a large private garden. Those planning extensive home-working space may also find 75 m² limiting. Golfers, however, are well placed: three courses, including Villamartín at 3.7 km, lie within 4.6 km. Investors should assess the 1970 construction year and factor potential renovation into their calculations, while recognising that key-ready status allows immediate rental or occupancy after completion of the purchase.
The listing photographs indicate a property that has been partially modernised. The kitchen shows black countertops in a contemporary fitted design, and one bathroom displays a modern shower unit and sink, while a second, smaller bathroom retains marble tiling. A bedroom with balcony access features a marble bedspread, and an exterior photograph shows a sunny patio area. These images suggest a mixed finishing standard: some rooms updated to current taste, others retaining older materials. The glazed front terrace is a notable technical feature for this region, as it extends the usable season of the outdoor space and provides a thermal buffer for the lounge behind it. The west orientation means the main living spaces receive afternoon and evening light, which is comfortable in winter but calls for shading or air conditioning during summer afternoons. Given the 1970 construction date, buyers should pay specific attention to elements the photographs cannot confirm: the state of the roof and facade, electrical wiring, plumbing, insulation and window glazing. Buildings of this era on the Costa Blanca were often constructed with limited thermal insulation by modern standards, which affects both comfort and running costs. An independent technical survey before purchase is the appropriate way to establish the actual condition and to estimate any maintenance or upgrading budget. The community gardens and pools are described as maintained, and the general upkeep of shared areas is typically reflected in the community fees, which should be requested during due diligence.
The asking price is a fixed €209,995 for the complete property, including its position within the gated community and access to the communal pools and gardens. Because this is an existing, key-ready home rather than a new-build phase, there is no price ladder or unit selection; the price applies to the specific townhouse described. Comparable new-build apartments in the wider area start at roughly €160,000 in Torrevieja, so buyers are paying a premium here for the location close to the beach and the established community setting. Buyers should additionally budget for purchase costs such as transfer tax, notary fees and registry costs, which are not included in the asking price. Community fees for the shared facilities apply and should be confirmed with the seller.
Daily life at this address revolves around the rhythm of a compact coastal neighbourhood. The house sits on the edge of a gated community with communal pools and gardens, so swimming and outdoor relaxation do not depend on a private plot. The glazed front terrace, facing west, captures afternoon and evening sun, which extends the usable hours of the outdoor space outside the peak summer months. Inside, the layout is straightforward: the ground floor holds the terrace, lounge with dining area and kitchen, while the first floor contains the two double bedrooms and the family bathroom, supported by a guest WC on the lower level. At 75 m², the home is compact, which keeps cleaning, heating and cooling manageable, particularly for couples or small families using it as a second residence. The surroundings are practical rather than remote. Within two kilometres there are 56 restaurants, 13 cafés, five pharmacies, five banks and four dentists, an unusually dense concentration of everyday services for a settlement of this size. Zenia Boulevard, one of the largest shopping centres in the region, is within walking distance according to the listing, covering groceries, fashion and cinema needs. Three beaches lie within a kilometre, with Playa Fósil at 0.5 km and Playa Cala Capitán at 0.9 km in a straight line, giving residents a choice of coves rather than a single stretch of sand. The flat terrain means shopping trips and evening walks to the sea require no significant effort.
The immediate environment combines residential calm with an exceptionally high density of amenities. Within a two-kilometre radius, the area offers 56 restaurants, 13 cafés, five pharmacies, five banks and four dentists, meaning almost every daily need is met without a car. Public transport is well developed for a coastal district, with 11 lines and 50 stops recorded, connecting Cabo Roig to surrounding towns such as Torrevieja and Orihuela Costa. Beaches are the defining feature of the location: Playa Cala la Caleta lies 0.2 km away in a straight line, with Playa Fósil at 0.5 km and Playa Cala Capitán at 0.9 km. The flat 0.5 per cent gradient to the sea makes these distances walkable for most residents, including older ones. Two swimming pools, Costa Marina and Swimming Pool La Caleta, sit within one kilometre for those preferring still water. Sports facilities include Sport Center Montepiedra at 2.6 km, while the marina Puerto Deportivo Miguel Caballero at 2.3 km and Real Club Náutico at 8.0 km cover boating interests. Electric-vehicle owners can charge at three points within 1.4 km. Larger cities remain within reach: Murcia at 37 km, Elche at 38 km and Cartagena at 43 km, all straight-line distances, providing hospital services, cultural facilities and regional administration.

Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Cabo Roig forms part of Orihuela Costa, the southernmost coastal stretch of the province of Alicante, close to the boundary with the Region of Murcia. The position places the property roughly equidistant, in straight-line terms, from Murcia at 37 km, Elche at 38 km and Cartagena at 43 km, three provincial-scale cities that provide major services and transport links. Torrevieja and the broader Costa Blanca South market lie immediately to the north, while the Mar Menor and La Manga open up to the south. This borderland position gives the area access to two regional economies and explains the density of infrastructure, from shopping to healthcare, that surrounds this small coastal district.
Accessibility is one of the strong points of this address. Alicante-Elche Airport lies approximately 44 km away in a straight line, making transfer journeys relatively short for international arrivals; Valencia Airport is at roughly 176 km and Malaga-Costa del Sol at about 361 km as fallback options. All distances are measured as the crow flies, so actual road travel will be longer. By car, the AP-7 motorway and the N-332 coastal road serve the Orihuela Costa area, connecting the district northwards to Torrevieja, Alicante and the airport, and southwards to the Mar Menor and Cartagena region. Within the neighbourhood itself, shops, restaurants and the beach are reachable on foot, which reduces day-to-day dependence on a vehicle, although a car remains useful for golf trips, hospital visits and exploring inland areas. Public transport, with 11 lines and 50 stops in the vicinity, offers an alternative for commuting and regional travel. Golf courses at 3.7 to 4.6 km and the Zenia Boulevard shopping centre within walking distance complete the picture of a location where most facilities cluster within a short radius.

Cabo Roig lies at 23 metres above sea level on flat coastal terrain, with a gradient towards the beach of only 0.5 per cent. The climate is Mediterranean: the average annual temperature is 18.9 °C, with monthly averages ranging from 11 °C in winter to 26 °C in summer. The swimming season lasts five months, during which sea temperatures remain at or above 20 °C, roughly from late spring into early autumn. For residents, this means outdoor living is practical for most of the year, with the glazed front terrace of the house extending usability in the cooler months. Summer afternoons can be warm, particularly with the west-facing orientation, so ventilation, shading or air conditioning should be considered. Winters are mild by northern European standards, and heating requirements are limited, though the 1970 construction may offer less insulation than newer buildings. Rainfall is modest and concentrated outside the summer months; the provincial median income of €15,750 provides context for the local economy, which combines tourism with service sectors.

The coastal strip around Cabo Roig consists of a series of sandy coves rather than one long beach. Playa Cala la Caleta, 0.2 km from the house as the crow flies, functions almost as the community's own beach; Playa Fósil at 0.5 km and Playa Cala Capitán at 0.9 km offer alternatives within a short walk. These coves are typically calmer than open stretches of coast, suited to swimming and snorkelling. Golf is the second recreational pillar of the area. Club de Golf Villamartín lies 3.7 km away, Club de Golf Las Ramblas de Orihuela at 4.0 km and Real Club de Golf Campoamor at 4.6 km, giving residents three 18-hole options within a ten-minute drive. Water sports are served by the Puerto Deportivo Miguel Caballero marina at 2.3 km and the Real Club Náutico at 8.0 km. For land-based sport, Sport Center Montepiedra is 2.6 km from the property, and two public swimming pools sit within one kilometre. Shopping and cinema entertainment are available at Zenia Boulevard, within walking distance according to the listing, rounding out a recreation profile that balances beach, golf and family leisure.
