This key-ready two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment is located in La Zenia on the southern Costa Blanca, offered at a fixed asking price of €269,000. The property measures 72 m² of living space on a 76 m² plot and was completed in 1970. It includes a private terrace, private garden, storage room, private parking and a private pool, with a lift in the building and air conditioning throughout. The nearest beach, Playa Cala Bosque, lies 0.7 km away as the crow flies, and La Zenia Boulevard shopping centre is within walking distance.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in La Zenia, a coastal district between Torrevieja and Orihuela Costa in the province of Alicante. Beaches such as Playa Cala Bosque and Playa Cala Cerrada are roughly 0.7 km away in a straight line, and the terrain towards the sea is flat. Alicante-Elche Airport lies approximately 42 km away by direct distance, making the location practical for international travel.
The layout combines two bedrooms and two bathrooms across 72 m², suitable for a couple, a small family or use as a holiday residence. Everyday services cluster nearby: within 2 km there are 67 restaurants, 5 pharmacies, 8 banks, 19 cafes and 4 dentists. A private terrace and garden extend the living space outdoors, and air conditioning regulates indoor temperatures year-round.
This is not a new-build project. The apartment was completed in 1970 and is now key-ready, meaning it can be occupied directly after purchase. Buyers should expect a building of its era rather than contemporary construction standards. No phased delivery or construction timeline applies; the transfer follows the standard resale purchase process in Spain.
The property does not offer sea views, underfloor heating, a garage in the basement or a communal fitness centre. With 72 m² of living space and two bedrooms, it is compact rather than spacious. The 1970 construction date means the finish and insulation reflect that period unless renovated. No information is available about energy performance or communal ownership structure in the provided data.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A couple seeking a low-maintenance coastal base within walking distance of the sea will find the 72 m² layout and lift access practical. Buyers who want outdoor space without communal rules, a private garden, terrace and pool rather than shared facilities, form a second group, since private pools are uncommon at this price level on the southern Costa Blanca. Frequent travellers benefit from the 42 km direct distance to Alicante-Elche Airport and the presence of three rapid charging operators (Ionity at 0.6 km, Iberdrola at 1.9 km, Eranovum at 2.2 km) for electric vehicles. Retirees or part-year residents who prefer a neighbourhood that stays active in winter can rely on the dense year-round amenity base: pharmacies, banks, medical and dental practices and public transport with 9 lines and 50 stops in the area. Golf players have three courses within roughly 4 km. Conversely, buyers wanting new construction, modern insulation standards or panoramic sea views should note the 1970 build date and the inland position of the plot. The property also suits investors focused on rental potential, given the combination of walking distance to beaches and the shopping centre, though returns depend on management and local regulation.
The available data provides limited detail on materials and finishes, so this section describes what is documented rather than speculating. The building was completed in 1970, which places the original construction in a period of simpler building regulations regarding thermal insulation, double glazing and humidity management. Images indicate a modernised interior: a contemporary living room with outdoor views and a modern kitchen including a washing machine, suggesting at least partial renovation of the living spaces. Confirmed installations include air conditioning, which covers both cooling and, in most Spanish systems of this type, heating through the same units. The private pool and garden require regular maintenance, which buyers should factor into running costs. A storage room provides space for seasonal items such as outdoor furniture and beach equipment, and the lift ensures vertical access within the building. No data is available on window glazing, electrical rewiring, plumbing renewal or the technical condition of the pool installation. Given the age of the structure, a technical survey before purchase is a standard step in the Spanish resale process and would establish the actual state of these elements. The property type in the data is registered as an apartment, while the plot size of 76 m² and the private garden indicate a ground-floor unit with its own outdoor area, a configuration that combines apartment ownership with townhouse-style outdoor space.
The apartment is offered as an existing home at a fixed asking price of €269,000; this is not a from-price within a project price list. The price covers a key-ready property with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, 72 m² of living space, a private terrace, private garden, private pool, storage room and private parking. Because the home dates from 1970 and is available immediately, there is no construction-phase payment structure or waiting period. Comparable new-build apartments in the wider area, such as projects in Torrevieja from €160,000 and in Urbanización El Raso from €227,000, generally offer more modern construction but typically at smaller sizes or without the private outdoor facilities included here. Availability is immediate upon completion of the standard Spanish resale purchase process.
Daily life around this apartment revolves around the short distances between home, the beach and commercial services. The morning routine can include a walk of under a kilometre to Cala Bosque or Cala Cerrada, two sheltered sandy coves typical of the Orihuela Costa shoreline. The terrain is essentially flat, with a gradient of only 2.6 percent toward the sea, so the walk is easy for all ages. Shopping runs through La Zenia Boulevard, one of the larger shopping centres in the province, reachable on foot from the apartment. This removes the need to drive for groceries, clothing, pharmacies or banks on most days. The immediate area counts 67 restaurants, 19 cafes, 5 pharmacies and 8 banks within a 2 km radius, which means the neighbourhood functions fully outside the summer season rather than shutting down in winter. The apartment itself works as a base for both short stays and permanent residence. Air conditioning covers the warm months, the private terrace and garden give outdoor space without dependence on communal scheduling, and the private pool allows swimming independently of opening hours. A lift serves the building, which matters for luggage, shopping and reduced mobility over time. Private parking removes the seasonal search for a space near the beach. For residents who play golf, three courses, Villamartín (3.0 km), Las Ramblas de Orihuela (4.0 km) and Real Club de Golf Campoamor (4.3 km), sit within a short drive. The swimming season lasts about five months, with sea temperatures of 20°C or above, and the average annual temperature of 18.9°C supports outdoor living most of the year.
The surroundings of La Zenia combine coastal recreation with dense daily amenities. Within a kilometre, three beaches are reachable: Playa Cala Bosque and Playa Cala Cerrada at 0.7 km and Playa Cala Estaca at 0.9 km, all measured in a straight line. The flat terrain makes these walks realistic for daily use. Two marinas, Puerto Deportivo Miguel Caballero (3.3 km) and Real Club Náutico (6.9 km), serve sailing and water sports. Sports facilities include Sport Center Montepiedra at 3.6 km and Snatch Fitness Center at 4.1 km, alongside the three golf clubs already mentioned. Public transport operates on 9 lines with 50 stops in the area, which reduces car dependence for local trips, although regional travel generally requires a vehicle. The nearest larger cities are Murcia at 36 km with roughly 463,000 inhabitants, Elche at 38 km with about 235,000 and Cartagena at 42 km with nearly 219,000, all measured by direct distance. These cities provide hospitals, universities and cultural facilities beyond what the immediate area offers. The climate supports outdoor activity for most of the year: average monthly temperatures range from 11°C in the coldest month to 26°C in the warmest, with an annual average of 18.9°C.
The map shows the apartment's position in La Zenia relative to the nearest coves (0.7–0.9 km), La Zenia Boulevard and the golf courses of Villamartín, Las Ramblas and Campoamor. Marked distances are straight-line; actual road routes are longer. Alicante-Elche Airport appears roughly 42 km to the north-east.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
La Zenia occupies a position on the southern Costa Blanca, within the municipality of Orihuela, at the border zone between the provinces of Alicante and Murcia. The regional context is defined by three mid-sized cities: Murcia (36 km), Elche (38 km) and Cartagena (42 km), all straight-line distances, each with populations above 200,000. Torrevieja, the nearest large coastal town, lies a short distance north along the N-332. This places the apartment in one of the more southerly beach zones of the Valencian coast, closer to the Mar Menor and Cartagena than to Alicante city itself. For international buyers, the location is best understood as part of the Orihuela Costa, Torrevieja strip, a zone characterised by cove beaches, golf resorts and a high proportion of foreign residents.
Accessibility is one of the stronger characteristics of this location. Alicante-Elche Airport (ALC) lies approximately 42 km away as the crow flies, the primary gateway for international flights to the region; Valencia airport is about 175 km away and Málaga-Costa del Sol roughly 361 km, both by direct distance. Road distances and travel times will be longer than straight-line figures. By car, the AP-7 motorway and the N-332 coastal road connect La Zenia with Torrevieja, Orihuela Costa and the cities of Murcia, Elche and Cartagena. Public transport covers the local area with 9 lines and 50 stops. For electric vehicle owners, three charging networks operate nearby: Ionity La Zenia at 0.6 km, Iberdrola at 1.9 km and Eranovum at 2.2 km, all within easy reach. Daily provisions require little travel: the beaches sit under a kilometre away, La Zenia Boulevard is walkable, and the 2 km radius contains 67 restaurants, 19 cafes, 5 pharmacies and 8 banks. The private parking space that comes with the apartment secures year-round vehicle access in an area where street parking tightens in summer.

La Zenia lies at 22 m above sea level with a gradient of only 2.6 percent toward the coast, meaning there are no significant slopes between the apartment and the beach. The climate is Mediterranean: average monthly temperatures range from 11°C in winter to 26°C in summer, with an annual average of 18.9°C. The swimming season extends to about five months, during which sea temperatures hold at or above 20°C, roughly May through September. This lengthens the practical use of the private pool and the nearby coves well beyond the peak summer weeks. Rainfall concentrates in the cooler months, and the province records high sunshine totals typical of the south-eastern Spanish coast. The natural environment consists of a rocky cove coastline with sandy insets rather than long open beaches, plus inland golf-course landscapes. A viewpoint at Torrejieja, 5.0 km away, offers elevated views over the coast for those seeking panorama without climbing from home. The low elevation and flat terrain mean the area is easy to navigate on foot or by bicycle year-round.

Recreation within reach of the apartment is concentrated on the Orihuela Costa cove system. Playa Cala Bosque and Playa Cala Cerrada are 0.7 km away and Playa Cala Estaca 0.9 km, all direct distances; these calas are smaller, sheltered beaches set between rocky headlands. Swimming pools supplement the sea options: Costa Marina at 1.8 km and Swimming Pool La Caleta at 2.0 km. Golf forms the second recreation pillar, with Club de Golf Villamartín at 3.0 km, Club de Golf Las Ramblas de Orihuela at 4.0 km and Real Club de Golf Campoamor at 4.3 km, three 18-hole courses within a ten-minute drive. Sailing and mooring facilities are available at Puerto Deportivo Miguel Caballero (3.3 km) and Real Club Náutico (6.9 km). Fitness options include Sport Center Montepiedra (3.6 km) and Snatch Fitness Center (4.1 km). The five-month swimming season and the 18.9°C annual average allow outdoor activity for most of the calendar year, and the 67 restaurants within 2 km provide dining variety without driving.

Within its immediate market, this apartment competes mainly with new-build and recently completed projects in Torrevieja and Orihuela. The comparable list includes Apartments Palangre Beach in Torrevieja from €160,000, Edificio Sun & Center in Torrevieja from €169,000 (key-ready), and Oasis Laguna 2 Phase II in Urbanización El Raso from €227,000. These projects generally offer modern construction standards, better insulation and current building regulations, which the 1970 origin of the La Zenia apartment cannot match. Against that, the fixed €269,000 asking price here buys features that new-build units at similar price points rarely combine: a private pool, a private garden, a private terrace, a storage room and dedicated parking. Buyers choosing between these options effectively trade construction age for private outdoor facilities. Locationally, La Zenia differs from Torrevieja town-centre projects by sitting closer to the cove beaches of Orihuela Costa and to the golf cluster of Villamartín, Las Ramblas and Campoamor, while still being walkable to La Zenia Boulevard. El Raso, by contrast, lies further inland near the La Mata natural park, with a quieter but less service-dense setting. At regional level, La Zenia belongs to the Orihuela Costa, Torrevieja strip on the southern Costa Blanca, positioned between the provinces of Alicante and Murcia. The median provincial income of €15,750 indicates a lower-cost regional economy than Marbella or the Costa del Sol, which is reflected in both property prices and everyday living costs. For buyers focused on Mediterranean sunshine, walkable beaches and year-round amenities rather than new construction, this property occupies a specific niche: an older, fully equipped home with private facilities in a mature, service-rich neighbourhood, a profile that new-build comparables in the same price band do not replicate.
