This two-bedroom, two-bathroom top-floor bungalow is located in La Zenia on the southern Costa Blanca, approximately 150 metres from Zenia Boulevard shopping centre and about 700 metres, as the crow flies, from the nearest beaches. Built in 2012 and now key-ready, the 68 m² property includes a private terrace, a rooftop solarium with east-facing sea views, and one underground parking space. The asking price is fixed at €234,000, including the furniture and fittings described in the listing. The residential complex has communal gardens and a pool reserved for residents.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in the urbanised core of La Zenia, close to shops, the sea and the town centre of Orihuela Costa. Daily amenities are concentrated within a two-kilometre radius: 67 restaurants, 19 cafés, 8 banks and 5 pharmacies. Three coves lie between 0.7 and 0.9 km away in a straight line, and the AP-7 corridor connects the area to Torrevieja, Murcia and Alicante airport.
The layout serves two residents comfortably year-round or as a holiday base: two bedrooms, one with an en-suite bathroom, a fully equipped open-plan kitchen and a living room opening onto the terrace. Air conditioning (hot and cold), fibre-optic internet, fitted wardrobes and a security door are installed. The rooftop solarium extends usable outdoor space well beyond the 68 m² interior.
This is not a new-build project. The property was completed in 2012 and is key-ready, meaning it can be occupied directly after purchase in its current finished state. There is no construction phase, no off-plan payment schedule and no delivery risk; the listed condition is described as good, with no renovation works indicated in the data provided.
The property has no private pool and no private garden; outdoor water facilities are communal. At 68 m² of living area, space is compact for households beyond four people. There is no lift access mentioned to the solarium, which is reached via steps from the terrace. The listing provides no energy performance certificate figure, no storage room and no details on community fees.
The property suits a buyer who wants a compact, finished home with strong walking access to shops and beaches and no construction waiting period. A retired couple seeking a lock-up-and-leave coastal base would find the low-maintenance format, underground parking and communal pool aligned with that use. A buyer planning extended winter stays benefits from the hot and cold air conditioning and fibre-optic connection, which support remote work and year-round living. Investors evaluating rental potential can note the location: within 150 metres of Zenia Boulevard, under a kilometre from three coves, and in an area with nine public transport lines and 50 stops recorded nearby, which reduces dependence on a hire car for holiday tenants. The property is less suitable for buyers needing three or more bedrooms, a private pool or a large private garden, since none of these form part of the offering. Buyers with limited mobility should weigh the top-floor position: the apartment itself is reached within the building, but the solarium requires an external staircase from the terrace. Anyone seeking a new-build warranty structure should also note that construction dates from 2012, so the ten-year building guarantee period has elapsed and standard resale purchase procedures apply.
The building dates from 2012, placing it in the semi-new category with thirteen years of age at the time of listing. The interior is described as furnished in a modern style and delivered ready to use. The kitchen is an American-style open layout, fully equipped with appliances, which suits the open-plan living arrangement and keeps the social zone connected. Both bedrooms have fitted wardrobes, and the master bedroom includes an en-suite bathroom; the second bathroom serves guests and doubles as the laundry area, with a washer-dryer installed there. Climate control consists of air conditioning units capable of both heating and cooling, covering the temperature range of the region, where monthly averages run from 11°C in winter to 26°C in summer. A security door and fibre-optic internet entry are fitted, the latter relevant for streaming, remote work and smart-home additions. The external fabric includes a private ground-floor terrace and a rooftop solarium with a covered section, both part of the titled property. The listing states the condition is good, though no technical survey findings, energy performance figures or documentation of recent renovations are included in the available data. Buyers are advised to verify the technical state, community financials and any planned building works through the standard conveyancing process, as these items sit outside the information provided.
The asking price is a fixed €234,000; this is an existing resale property, not a development with a price list. The price includes the furniture in modern style, the listed extras such as air conditioning and fibre-optic wifi, and one underground parking space. At 68 m² of living area, the price equates to roughly €3,440 per square metre of interior space, excluding the terrace and solarium. For comparison, new-build apartments in nearby Torrevieja start from approximately €160,000 to €169,000, and the Oasis Laguna 2 project in Urbanización El Raso starts from €227,000. Availability is immediate, as the home is key-ready.
Daily life here is organised around walkability. The front door is roughly 150 metres from Zenia Boulevard, the largest shopping centre in the province, so supermarket runs, pharmacies, cafés and a wide choice of restaurants are effectively on the doorstep. The complex itself is a private residential development with maintained gardens and a communal pool, which keeps the immediate surroundings quieter than the commercial strip around it. The rhythm of the day can shift between town and coast: the nearest coves, Playa Cala Bosque and Playa Cala Cerrada, are both about 0.7 km away as the crow flies, with Playa Cala Estaca at 0.9 km, so an evening walk to the sea takes a matter of minutes on foot. The top-floor position changes how the apartment is used. The lower terrace adjoins the living room and looks over the garden and pool, while an external stairway leads to a private rooftop solarium that receives sun throughout the day and offers east-facing sea views plus a covered section for shade. In practice this creates two distinct outdoor zones: a shaded morning terrace for breakfast and a solarium for the middle of the day. The south-easterly orientation supports morning to midday sun on the main terrace. With air conditioning in both hot and cold modes, fibre-optic broadband and a washer-dryer in the bathroom, the property is equipped for year-round residence as well as seasonal use. One underground parking space is included, though the density of amenities suggests a car is optional for daily needs and mainly useful for airport transfers and regional trips.
The immediate environment is urban and service-dense. Within two kilometres, the data records 67 restaurants, 19 cafés, 8 banks, 5 pharmacies and 4 dentists, which indicates that most daily errands can be completed on foot. Zenia Boulevard, 150 metres away, functions as the commercial anchor of Orihuela Costa with shops, a supermarket and leisure facilities. The coastal strip near the apartment consists of a series of small coves rather than long open beaches: Cala Bosque and Cala Cerrada at 0.7 km and Cala Estaca at 0.9 km straight-line, giving residents a choice of bathing spots within a short walk. For sports and active leisure, Villamartín Golf lies 3.1 km away, with Las Ramblas de Orihuela at 4.0 km and Real Club de Golf Campoamor at 4.3 km, so the property sits within a golf corridor without being inside a resort. Two public swimming pools, Costa Marina (1.8 km) and La Caleta (2.0 km), supplement the communal pool. Public transport is comparatively strong for a coastal suburb, with 9 lines and 50 stops recorded, connecting the area towards Torrevieja, Guardamar and Cartagena. Electric-vehicle owners have fast charging at Ionity La Zenia just 0.6 km away, with Iberdrola and Eranovum points at 1.9 and 2.2 km.
The map shows the apartment in relation to the La Zenia commercial area, the line of coves to the east and the golf courses inland. Zenia Boulevard is effectively adjacent, the three nearest beaches sit under one kilometre away, and the AP-7 motorway provides the regional connection towards Alicante airport to the north and Cartagena to the south.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
La Zenia forms part of Orihuela Costa on the southern Costa Blanca, close to the boundary with the Murcia region. The position is equidistant in practical terms from two provincial worlds: Alicante and its airport to the north-east, and the Murcia and Cartagena metropolitan areas to the south-west, both within roughly 36 to 42 km straight-line. This places the property in a dual-influence zone, with services, healthcare and shopping drawn from both directions. Within the local market, La Zenia sits between the denser, more tourist-driven core of Torrevieja and the golf-urbanisation belt of Villamartín and Campoamor, combining commercial convenience with proximity to the coves.
Distances in this section are straight-line unless stated otherwise. The nearest beach, Playa Cala Bosque, lies 0.7 km away, with Cala Cerrada equally close and Cala Estaca at 0.9 km, all reachable on foot in roughly ten to twelve minutes over flat terrain. The gradient from the apartment to the coast is 2.6%, effectively flat, which matters for daily walks with shopping or beach gear. Zenia Boulevard is 150 metres from the door. Alicante-Elche airport is approximately 42 km away, Valencia about 175 km and Málaga-Costa del Sol about 361 km; actual driving distances are longer than these figures. Regional cities frame the area: Murcia at 36 km, Elche at 38 km and Cartagena at 42 km, each with roughly 220,000 to 460,000 inhabitants and full urban services. Marinas at Puerto Deportivo Miguel Caballero (3.3 km) and Real Club Náutico (6.9 km) serve boating needs. A car is convenient for golf, airports and regional excursions, but the combination of walking-distance shopping, nine bus lines and 50 stops means daily life does not require one.

The climate data indicates an average annual temperature of 18.9°C, with monthly averages ranging from 11°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer. The swimming season, defined by sea water at or above 20°C, spans five months, roughly late May to mid-October. The elevation is 22 metres above sea level and the terrain towards the beach falls at a gradient of 2.6%, so no significant climbs separate the apartment from the coast. The rooftop solarium receives sun throughout the day according to the listing, and the south-easterly orientation of the main living spaces brings morning and midday light, while the covered solarium section provides shade during the hottest hours. The semi-arid character of the southern Costa Blanca means most rainfall concentrates outside the summer half-year, supporting consistent terrace and solarium use across the season.

The coastline near La Zenia is defined by a chain of small coves. Three of them, Cala Bosque, Cala Cerrada and Cala Estaca, lie within 0.9 km straight-line of the apartment, so beach choice becomes a matter of a few minutes' walking difference rather than a journey. Golf forms the second recreational layer: Villamartín Golf is 3.1 km away, Las Ramblas de Orihuela 4.0 km and Real Club de Golf Campoamor 4.3 km, placing three established courses within a short drive and giving the area its profile among golf-oriented visitors. For structured sport, Sport Center Montepiedra (3.6 km) and Snatch Fitness Center (4.1 km) offer indoor training, while the communal pool in the complex covers swimming without leaving home. Two additional public pools sit at 1.8 and 2.0 km. Walking and sightseeing options include the View Torrejieja viewpoint at 5.0 km, and two marinas at 3.3 and 6.9 km provide coastal strolls and waterfront dining.

Set against nearby offerings, this property occupies a specific niche: finished, furnished and immediately usable, at €234,000 for 68 m². The comparable new-build projects in Torrevieja, Palangre Beach from €160,000 and Edificio Sun & Center from €169,000, start lower, but these are development price lists where the final price depends on unit selection, floor level and specifications, and where completion timing plays a role. Oasis Laguna 2 Phase II in Urbanización El Raso starts at €227,000, nearly matching this asking price for what is presumably a larger or newly built unit in a quieter inland golf setting, though without the same walking-distance access to a major shopping centre. The trade-off for buyers is therefore between new-build warranty structures and lower entry prices on the one hand, and immediate availability plus an established location on the other. La Zenia's specific strength within the southern Costa Blanca is density of services: the listing places the apartment 150 metres from Zenia Boulevard, which is unmatched among the comparables, and the coastal coves are closer than what El Raso, roughly three kilometres inland, can offer. The regional context also matters. Murcia, Elche and Cartagena all lie within about 36 to 42 km straight-line, giving the area access to three urban economies of over 200,000 inhabitants. Alicante-Elche airport at approximately 42 km straight-line keeps international connectivity comparable to much of the Costa Blanca, while the provincial median income of €15,750 per year signals that local purchasing power differs considerably from that of international buyers, which historically supports a rental and resale market oriented towards foreign demand. Whether this property represents value depends on the buyer's priority: immediate, service-dense coastal living with outdoor space favours it; a new-build warranty or a lower entry price points towards the Torrevieja developments.
