This key-ready penthouse is situated in the gated community of Residencial Zenia Beach I in La Zenia, on the Orihuela Costa in the province of Alicante. The property offers 120 m² of living space with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, two balconies and a private roof terrace of approximately 106 m². A private underground parking space and a separate storage room are included, and the home is sold fully furnished. The sandy coves of Playa Cala Bosque and Playa Cala Cerrada lie roughly 0.7 km away as the crow flies, while Zenia Boulevard shopping centre is within short walking distance.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
La Zenia forms part of Orihuela Costa on the southern Costa Blanca, close to the boundary with the Murcia region. The beaches of Cala Bosque and Cala Cerrada are approximately 0.7 km away in a straight line, and Zenia Boulevard is within walking distance. The area is flat, with a gradient of about 2.6% towards the sea, and sits at roughly 22 metres above sea level.
The penthouse combines an open living and dining area with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, suitable for permanent residence, a holiday home or rental use. Two balconies and a large roof terrace provide extensive private outdoor space. Air conditioning is installed, and the communal pool within the gated complex serves residents who prefer not to maintain a private pool.
This concerns an existing home, completed in 1970, in key-ready condition. The asking price of €510,000 is a fixed price, not a starting price. As an older building, buyers should expect construction standards of its period rather than those of current new-build developments; any modernisation is already reflected in the present interior condition.
The property does not include a private pool; swimming facilities are communal. It is an apartment within a community, so no private garden belongs to the home. The building dates from 1970, meaning thermal and acoustic performance may differ from recent construction. No lift, plot, or energy documentation details are available in the data provided.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A buyer seeking a permanent residence on the southern Costa Blanca will find the walking-distance beach access, flat terrain and dense everyday amenities practical for year-round living. A household wanting a furnished holiday home benefits from the key-ready condition: no renovation or furnishing trajectory is required before first use. Buyers prioritising outdoor space will notice that the combined balconies and 106 m² roof terrace exceed what most apartments in this price range offer, which suits sunbathing, outdoor dining or installing a hot tub, as suggested by the property photographs. Investors considering rental use can rely on the location near Zenia Boulevard and the coves, both strong draw points for holiday tenants. The property suits less well those wanting a private pool, a private garden or a detached villa format, as the pool is communal and the home sits within an apartment community. Buyers focused on recent construction should also note the 1970 build year and weigh that against the modernised interior shown. Households without a car will find the immediate surroundings largely walkable, though golf courses, marinas and cities such as Murcia and Cartagena require driving or public transport.
The interior is presented as modern, with a bright and open layout connecting the living and dining area to a balcony. The home is sold fully furnished, which removes a practical and financial step for buyers. Air conditioning provides climate control during the warmer months, when average temperatures reach around 26°C. The two bathrooms serve three bedrooms, reducing morning congestion for families or guest occupancy. Technically, the property includes a covered terrace feature, a private solarium, a storage room and a private underground parking space, the latter protecting the vehicle from sun exposure and reducing parking pressure in the busy summer months. As the building dates from 1970, the structural and installation base reflects its period; the photographs show a contemporary finish with a rooftop hot tub and updated interiors, indicating that the home has been modernised, but buyers should verify the age and condition of the electrical installation, plumbing and windows during a technical inspection. The communal areas of Residencial Zenia Beach I are described as maintained, with an attractive communal pool, which is relevant to owners since community standards affect both living comfort and resale value. No details on energy performance documentation were available in the source data. Overall, the finishing level is that of a modernised existing apartment rather than a new-build specification with current insulation standards.
The asking price is €510,000 and is a fixed price for this existing home, not a starting price from a price list. For that amount, the buyer receives 120 m² of living space, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, two balconies, a private roof terrace of approximately 106 m², an underground parking space, a storage room and a fully furnished interior. Within the immediate market, comparable new-build projects in La Zenia start from around €495,000 (Zenia Victory) and €549,900 (La Vista Boulevard), which places this property in the same price band as newer competition while offering substantially more private outdoor space. Availability is immediate, as the home is key-ready.
Daily life around this penthouse is shaped by two anchors: the beach coves of La Zenia and the Zenia Boulevard shopping and leisure centre, both within walking distance. Mornings can begin on one of the balconies or the roof terrace, with the open living area receiving natural light through its direct terrace access. The gradient to the sea is around 2.6%, which makes walking to the beach realistic rather than a car-dependent exercise. Within a 2 km radius, the area counts 67 restaurants, 19 cafés, 5 pharmacies, 8 banks and 4 dentists, so daily errands are concentrated close to home. Supermarkets and everyday services are also nearby according to the source data. The neighbourhood has a seasonal rhythm: La Zenia is a coastal zone that fills up considerably in summer, while outside the high season the atmosphere is quieter and part of the commercial offer runs at reduced capacity. The gated community with its maintained communal areas and pool creates an internal buffer of calm. A car is useful for reaching the golf courses, marinas and larger cities, but is not strictly necessary for beach, shopping and dining. The roof terrace of roughly 106 m² effectively adds a second outdoor living level, usable for sunbathing, dining or an outdoor lounge. With three bedrooms and two bathrooms, the layout accommodates a family, visiting guests, or rental occupancy without internal congestion.
The immediate environment combines coastal recreation with concentrated commercial infrastructure. Zenia Boulevard, described as one of the largest shopping and leisure centres in the area, is a short walk away and anchors the local retail offer. Three beaches lie within about 0.9 km as the crow flies: Playa Cala Bosque, Playa Cala Cerrada and Playa Cala Estaca. Public transport covers the wider area with 9 lines and 50 stops, providing an alternative to driving along the coast. For charging an electric vehicle, three options exist within roughly 2.2 km: Ionity La Zenia at 0.6 km, Iberdrola at 1.9 km and Eranovum at 2.2 km. Sports facilities include Villamartin Golf at 3.1 km, Sport Center Montepiedra at 3.6 km and Snatch Fitness Center at 4.1 km. Two marinas, Puerto Deportivo Miguel Caballero at 3.3 km and Real Club Náutico at 6.9 km, serve boating interests. Larger cities within reach by car include Murcia at 36 km straight-line, Elche at 38 km and Cartagena at 42 km, which matters for hospital care, wider shopping and cultural outings. The flat terrain around 22 metres elevation makes the neighbourhood accessible on foot or by bicycle for most residents.

La Zenia occupies a position on the southern stretch of the Orihuela Costa in Alicante province, near the border with the Murcia region. This places it between the major urban centres of Murcia, Elche and Cartagena, all within roughly 36 to 42 km straight-line. Along the Costa Blanca it is known for its cove beaches and the density of golf courses immediately inland. The location suits buyers who want coastal living with strong commercial infrastructure, while remaining connected to two regional airports, with Alicante-Elche being the closest at about 42 km.
The nearest beach, Playa Cala Bosque, lies 0.7 km away in a straight line, with Cala Cerrada at the same distance and Cala Estaca at 0.9 km, all walkable over flat terrain. Alicante-Elche Airport is approximately 42 km away as the crow flies, a drive that typically takes around 35 to 40 minutes; Valencia Airport lies about 175 km away and Málaga-Costa del Sol roughly 361 km.

The climate is Mediterranean with an average annual temperature of 18.9°C and monthly averages ranging from 11°C in winter to 26°C in summer. The swimming season lasts about five months, during which sea water stays at or above 20°C, aligning beach use with the warmest period from late spring to early autumn. The elevation of 22 metres and the 2.6% gradient towards the sea mean the terrain is flat, without the stairways and steep streets found in parts of the Costa Blanca. Rainfall data were not specified in detail, but the temperature band indicates mild winters, making year-round occupation feasible without heavy heating demands. The roof terrace gains direct sun exposure throughout the day, while the two balconies allow shaded outdoor use at different times. The nearby coastline consists of small coves rather than long open strands, which frames the natural setting as an intimate rocky-sandy shore landscape typical of Orihuela Costa.

The five-month swimming season with water temperatures of at least 20°C defines the practical beach window. For recreation beyond the sand, three golf courses lie within about 4.3 km, making a morning round of golf logistically simple. Two swimming pool facilities, Costa Marina at 1.8 km and Swimming Pool La Caleta at 2.0 km, supplement the communal pool of the residence. The marinas at 3.3 km and 6.9 km offer berths and waterfront dining. Fitness options include Sport Center Montepiedra and Snatch Fitness Center. For views and walks, View Torrejieja viewpoint sits 5.0 km away. Zenia Boulevard adds indoor leisure, cinema and dining within walking distance, which extends usability of the area into the cooler and shoulder months.

Within La Zenia itself, two new-build projects set the competitive context. Zenia Victory starts from €495,000 and La Vista Boulevard from €549,900, bracketing this penthouse's fixed price of €510,000 from both sides. The essential difference lies in format and age: the comparables are new construction with current building standards, while this property is a 1970 building with a modernised interior and, critically, approximately 106 m² of private roof terrace plus two balconies, an outdoor surface that new-build apartments in this price band rarely match. Further afield, Oceanic Apartments in Rojales start from €475,000, offering a lower entry point but in a different town, away from the immediate beach-and-boulevard combination that defines La Zenia. Location-wise, La Zenia benefits from being one of the few points on the southern Costa Blanca where a large shopping centre, walkable coves and a flat street plan coincide; much of the surrounding Orihuela Costa is hilly or car-dependent for daily errands. On a regional scale, the position between Murcia, Elche and Cartagena, with Alicante-Elche Airport roughly 42 km away as the crow flies, gives the area dual orientations: towards Alicante province for administration and the airport, and towards the Murcia region for inland services. For buyers weighing this penthouse against new-build alternatives, the trade-off is clear: newer construction and warranty coverage on one side, and on the other a larger usable outdoor area, a furnished and immediately habitable home, and inclusion of parking and storage without additional cost lines. Buyers comparing rental potential should note that the walkable distance to both beach and Zenia Boulevard is a recurring demand factor in holiday letting along this coast.
