This three-bedroom, two-bathroom townhouse is located in La Zenia, on the Orihuela Costa in the province of Alicante. The property has a living area of 80 m² on a 100 m² plot, arranged over three levels with both a front and rear garden and a private balcony off the master bedroom. The house was completed in 1970 and is offered key-ready at a fixed asking price of €214,995. The nearest beaches, Playa Cala Bosque and Playa Cala Cerrada, lie approximately 0.7 km away as the crow flies, and everyday amenities such as restaurants, pharmacies and banks are concentrated within a two-kilometre radius.
Within its regional context, this townhouse occupies a distinct market segment. The comparable projects currently listed nearby are all new-build: Oceanic Apartments in Rojales start from €475,000, Nueva Daya Villa in Daya Nueva from €380,000, and Residential Vivalife in Lomas de Cabo Roig from €369,000. Against these, the fixed asking price of €214,995 places the La Zenia property at roughly half the entry level of the nearest new-build alternative, while offering a location that is at least as coastal, Lomas de Cabo Roig lies slightly inland of the beach, and Rojales and Daya Nova sit further from the sea altogether. The trade-off is age and specification: a 1970 construction will not match the insulation, glazing and energy performance of a 2020s development, and buyers should expect renovation or updating costs on parts of the interior even though the property is key-ready. In terms of position, La Zenia holds advantages over the inland comparisons: beach access under a kilometre, an exceptional density of restaurants and services within two kilometres, and three golf courses within 4.3 km. The Orihuela Costa as a whole competes with the northern Costa Blanca on price and with the Marbella-dominated Costa del Sol on value, generally at lower price points per square metre. Median provincial income of €15,750 contextualises the local economy: the area runs substantially on tourism and international residents rather than high local wages, which shapes both the seasonal rhythm of the neighbourhood and the rental market for investors. For buyers prioritising location and budget over new-build specification, this property's combination of coastal proximity and price is difficult to match among the current comparables; for those wanting modern construction standards, the higher-priced alternatives will remain relevant.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
La Zenia forms part of the Orihuela Costa, a coastal strip in southern Alicante province. The townhouse stands within walking distance of local shops and restaurants, with three sandy coves under one kilometre away in a direct line. Murcia lies 36 km away and Elche 38 km, while Alicante-Elche airport is roughly 42 km as the crow flies.
The layout serves a household that wants separate day and night zones: a lounge with dining area and fitted kitchen on the ground floor, two bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first floor, and a master bedroom with balcony above. Front and rear gardens plus an external storage cupboard provide outdoor and practical space.
This concerns an existing home completed in 1970, offered in key-ready condition. It is not a new-build development, so there is no construction phase or developer delivery schedule. The 1970 completion date means buyers should factor the age of the building into inspection and maintenance considerations.
The property has no private pool; the images show a communal pool area. Living space is 80 m² on a 100 m² plot, which limits garden size. There is no garage mentioned, no lift, and parking arrangements are not specified. The asking price is fixed at €214,995 and should not be read as a starting price for multiple units.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A buyer seeking a permanent residence near the coast at a moderate budget gets three bedrooms within walking distance of beaches and a full range of amenities, without the service charges and premiums attached to new-build developments. A household looking for a holiday home benefits from the proximity of the coves, under a kilometre in a direct line, and the storage cupboard for seasonal equipment. Investors may find the fixed price point relevant, as it sits well below regional new-build alternatives, though rental yield depends on seasonality and condition. The layout also works for a couple who want guest bedrooms on a separate floor, with the master bedroom occupying the top level and its own balcony. Conversely, the property is less obvious for buyers requiring a single-storey home, a private pool or a garage, since none of these are present. The 1970 construction date makes a technical inspection advisable, particularly regarding insulation, plumbing and electrics, which is standard practice for properties of this age in Spain. Households that rely on public transport will find 9 lines and 50 stops in the area, though a car remains the practical choice for regional trips such as the drive to Alicante-Elche airport.
As an existing home completed in 1970, the finishing level reflects its construction period combined with subsequent updating. The images show a modern bathroom with a shower and toilet, and bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, indicating that at least parts of the interior have been renovated. The kitchen is described as separate and fitted. Buyers should nonetheless treat the 1970 date as the starting point for assessment: original elements such as window frames, wall insulation, plumbing installations and electrical wiring may date from different renovation phases and should be verified during a viewing or technical survey. The property has two full bathrooms distributed across three levels, which limits morning congestion for a family. Construction of this era in the Orihuela Costa typically used brick cavity or solid walls with flat or pitched tiled roofs; energy performance is usually below modern standards unless improvements have been made, which has consequences for heating and cooling costs. No information is available on air conditioning, heating systems or energy performance certificates, so these points warrant explicit questions. On the exterior, the front garden, terrace and rear garden are finished as usable outdoor space, and the external storage cupboard adds practical capacity. No information is provided about the communal pool's maintenance regime or community fees, which buyers should clarify before purchase.
The asking price is fixed at €214,995 for this specific property. This is an existing home, not a new-build project with a price list, so the figure does not represent a starting price for a range of units. Within the wider region, comparable new-build projects are priced considerably higher: apartments in Rojales start from €475,000, a villa in Daya Nueva from €380,000, and key-ready residences in Lomas de Cabo Roig from €369,000. The price difference partly reflects the 1970 construction date and the more modest dimensions, 80 m² of living space and a 100 m² plot. Buyers should budget separately for purchase costs, potential renovation and ongoing local taxes.
Daily life in this townhouse revolves around a compact three-level layout. The ground floor combines a lounge, dining area, fitted kitchen and a bathroom, with the front terrace and garden acting as an extension of the living space in the warmer months. The rear garden offers a second outdoor area, useful for drying laundry, storage access or shaded seating. An external cupboard accommodates bicycles and beach equipment, a practical detail given the 0.7 km direct distance to the nearest coves. The first floor holds two bedrooms and the family bathroom; the top floor is given over entirely to the master bedroom, which opens onto a private balcony. This separation means the sleeping quarters are split across two levels, which can suit households that value privacy but is worth noting for anyone with mobility considerations. The surrounding neighbourhood of La Zenia is a service-rich residential area: within two kilometres there are 67 restaurants, 19 cafés, 5 pharmacies, 8 banks and 4 dentists, meaning most daily errands are achievable on foot or by a short drive. The area is flat, with an average gradient of 2.6 percent towards the sea and an elevation of 22 metres, so walking to the beach involves no significant climbing. Out of the summer season the district quiets down compared with peak holiday weeks, although the permanent population of the Orihuela Costa keeps a core of restaurants, supermarkets and services open year-round.
The immediate surroundings are characterised by density and convenience. Within two kilometres, the data lists 67 restaurants, 19 cafés, 5 pharmacies, 8 banks and 4 dentists, a provision level typical of the Orihuela Costa's established residential belt. The three nearest coves, Playa Cala Bosque, Playa Cala Cerrada and Playa Cala Estaca, all lie within 0.9 km in a direct line of the property, reachable on foot along flat terrain given the 2.6 percent average gradient. For sports and leisure, Villamartín Golf sits 3.1 km away, with Las Ramblas de Orihuela at 4.0 km and Real Club de Golf Campoamor at 4.3 km, placing the house within easy reach of three 18-hole courses. Two public swimming pools, Costa Marina (1.8 km) and Swimming Pool La Caleta (2.0 km), supplement the beach options. Electric car owners can charge at Ionity La Zenia, only 0.6 km away, with further charging points at 1.9 and 2.2 km. Marinas at Puerto Deportivo Miguel Caballero (3.3 km) and Real Club Náutico (6.9 km) serve sailing and boat-related activities. Public transport covers the area with 9 lines and 50 stops, useful for local trips, though distances to regional cities make a car more practical.
The map shows the property's position relative to the three nearest coves, all under one kilometre away in a direct line, and the surrounding golf courses within a four-kilometre radius. La Zenia's location on the southern Costa Blanca, midway between Alicante and Murcia, is visible in the wider view.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
La Zenia occupies a central position on the Orihuela Costa, the southernmost coastal strip of Alicante province, bordering the Murcia region. This location places it between two urban spheres: the Alicante-Elche conurbation to the north-east and the Murcia-Cartagena axis to the south-west, each roughly 36 to 42 km away in a direct line. Within the Orihuela Costa itself, La Zenia sits between Punta Prima and Cabo Roig, close to the La Zenia Boulevard shopping area and the sequence of coves that characterise this coast. Compared with more northern Costa Blanca destinations, the area is flatter, lower-lying and more amenity-dense, with a strong international resident base.
Accessibility is one of the location's strong points. Alicante-Elche airport is roughly 42 km away as the crow flies, with Valencia airport at approximately 175 km and Málaga-Costa del Sol at about 361 km; actual driving distances are longer than straight-line figures. By road, the AP-7 motorway and the N-332 coastal road connect La Zenia with the wider region, and the travel time to the airport by car is a routine drive for the Costa Blanca. The beaches are the closest amenity of all: Playa Cala Bosque and Playa Cala Cerrada lie 0.7 km away in a direct line, with Playa Cala Estaca at 0.9 km. Golf courses sit within a three-to-four-kilometre radius. Murcia (36 km straight-line), Elche (38 km) and Cartagena (42 km) are the three largest regional cities, each reachable within an hour by car. Within the neighbourhood itself, the concentration of restaurants, pharmacies and banks within two kilometres means most daily needs are met without long journeys, and the 50 public transport stops provide an alternative to driving for local errands.

The climate data indicates a typical southern-Costa Blanca profile: average monthly temperatures range from 11°C in the coolest month to 26°C in the warmest, with an annual average of 18.9°C. The swimming season extends to five months during which sea temperatures reach at least 20°C, generally running from late May into October. The elevation of 22 metres above sea level and the flat 2.6 percent gradient towards the coast mean the terrain poses no barriers to walking or cycling. The orientation of the coast gives the area long hours of sunshine, supporting year-round use of the terrace, balcony and gardens. Rainfall on this stretch of coast is low by Spanish standards, concentrated in autumn and early spring. For residents, this translates into outdoor living for most of the year, with the balcony off the master bedroom and the two gardens usable across multiple seasons. The nearby viewpoints, such as View Torrejieja at 5.0 km, offer walking destinations with coastal panoramas.

The coastline near La Zenia consists of a series of rocky coves and sandy beaches. The three closest to the property, Playa Cala Bosque (0.7 km), Playa Cala Cerrada (0.7 km) and Playa Cala Estaca (0.9 km), all measured in a straight line, form part of the Orihuela Costa's chain of coves between Punta Prima and Cabo Roig. Golf is a defining recreational feature of the area: Club de Golf Villamartín (3.0 km), Club de Golf Las Ramblas de Orihuela (4.0 km) and Real Club de Golf Campoamor (4.3 km) provide three courses within a short drive. For general fitness, Sport Center Montepiedra (3.6 km) and Snatch Fitness Center (4.1 km) offer indoor facilities, while the swimming pools at Costa Marina (1.8 km) and La Caleta (2.0 km) provide alternatives to sea swimming. Water sports and mooring facilities are available at the marinas of Puerto Deportivo Miguel Caballero (3.3 km) and Real Club Náutico (6.9 km). The combination of coves, golf courses and sports centres within a five-kilometre radius gives residents a varied recreational palette without longer regional trips.
