This three-bedroom, two-bathroom townhouse is located in La Zenia, on the southern Costa Blanca in the province of Alicante. The property offers 100 square metres of living space arranged over several levels, with a private tiled terrace off the kitchen and balconies on the first floor. Built in 1970 and now key-ready, it forms part of an established residential community with a communal pool and landscaped gardens. The asking price is fixed at €250,000. Beaches such as Playa Cala Bosque and Playa Cala Cerrada lie roughly 0.7 km away as the crow flies, and three golf courses sit within about 4.3 km of the property.
Within its regional context, this townhouse competes with new-build offerings along the southern Costa Blanca. In Torrevieja, roughly 10 km north along the coast, apartments are marketed from €160,000 and €169,000, while the Oasis Laguna 2 Phase II development in Urbanización El Raso starts at €227,000. Those projects offer new construction, modern insulation and contemporary finishes, generally in apartment formats with communal facilities. This La Zenia property differs on several axes. First, it is a townhouse rather than an apartment, giving it a multi-level layout with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, a format that new-build projects at comparable prices rarely provide on the Orihuela Costa. Second, it sits in an established community with mature gardens, whereas new developments need several years for landscaping to mature. Third, its location is closer to the beach than most inland new-build alternatives: 0.7 km as the crow flies versus the several kilometres typical for El Raso and other inland urbanisations. The trade-off is the construction date. A 1970 property carries older building systems, and the fixed €250,000 asking price should be evaluated against potential modernisation costs, which a technical survey can clarify. The wider region supports the comparison: Murcia, Elche and Cartagena all lie within roughly 36 to 42 km, and the Orihuela Costa's golf cluster of three courses within 4.3 km is a locational asset that Torrevieja's urban centre does not match to the same degree. For buyers weighing new-build certainty against format, space and beach proximity, this property represents the second position in that trade-off.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
La Zenia sits on the Orihuela Costa, a coastal strip in southern Alicante province. The townhouse stands roughly 0.7 km from the nearest beaches as the crow flies, with three golf courses within about 4 km. Restaurants, pharmacies, banks and cafés are concentrated within a 2 km radius, and 9 public transport lines with 50 stops serve the wider area.
The layout separates daily functions across levels: a ground-floor living area with open-plan kitchen and guest bathroom, first-floor bedrooms with balconies, and a top-floor master bedroom. Air conditioning is installed. A private terrace off the kitchen provides outdoor space, complemented by a communal pool and gardens. Open parking is available on-site.
This is not a new-build project. The townhouse was completed in 1970 and is offered key-ready, meaning it can be occupied directly after purchase. Buyers should expect construction standards and finishes typical of its era rather than modern new-build specifications. Any dates relating to completion are historical facts about the property.
The property does not offer a private pool, private garage, elevator, or storage room. Parking is open and unassigned. With 100 square metres of living area across multiple levels, internal stairs connect all floors, which affects accessibility for residents with limited mobility. No information is available regarding recent renovation of building systems.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A retired couple seeking a permanent residence on the southern Costa Blanca may value the flat walk to the beach, the concentration of medical and daily services within 2 km, and the manageable 100 square metre layout. A family using the house as a second home benefits from three separate bedrooms spread over two levels, a communal pool for children, and the proximity of schools listed among the area features. Buyers prioritising golf will find three courses, Villamartín, Las Ramblas de Orihuela and Real Club de Golf Campoamor, within roughly 4 km. Investors considering rental use should note the location near beaches, the established community and the year-round service infrastructure, though any rental yield assessment requires separate analysis. The house suits buyers who accept a 1970s property with corresponding character and condition, and who value location and community facilities over new-build finishes. It is less suited to buyers requiring a private pool, private garage, elevator or ground-floor living without stairs. The need for a car is limited for daily errands but remains practical for regional travel, as the nearest airport, Alicante-Elche, lies about 42 km away as the crow flies.
The interior reflects the character of a 1970 Spanish townhouse, updated where noted. The kitchen features wooden cabinetry in an open-plan configuration, connected to the living area by a breakfast bar and a feature archway, a construction detail typical of the period that gives the ground floor its social flow. A guest bathroom on the ground floor adds practical separation from the upper bathing facilities, which include a bathroom with both tub and shower and a window for natural light and ventilation. Bedrooms are equipped with dressers, mirrors and air conditioning units, as confirmed in the photographic record. Windows are sized to admit natural light, particularly in the top-floor master bedroom, which is described as generously lit. The private terrace is fully tiled, which simplifies maintenance. As part of an established community, the communal pool and landscaped garden areas are shared facilities whose upkeep falls under community management. Buyers should treat the 1970 construction date as a signal to commission a technical survey covering electrical wiring, plumbing, insulation and window quality before purchase; no renovation history for these systems is documented in the available data. Parking is open and unassigned, meaning no private garage or covered space is included. The overall finishing level is functional and lived-in rather than newly refurbished.
The asking price for this townhouse is fixed at €250,000. This is an existing home, not a new-build development with a price list, so the figure reflects the seller's asking price for the completed property. For context, comparable new-build projects in the region start lower on paper: apartments in Torrevieja are advertised from €160,000 and €169,000, while a development in Urbanización El Raso starts at €227,000. Those figures typically refer to smaller apartment units, whereas this property offers a townhouse format with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a private terrace and access to a communal pool. Availability is immediate, as the property is key-ready and can be transferred upon completion of the standard purchase process.
Daily life in this townhouse follows a traditional Spanish coastal rhythm. Mornings can start on the private terrace directly off the kitchen, which is fully tiled and suited to breakfast outdoors or evening barbecues. The ground floor works as a social centre: the living area connects to an open-plan wooden kitchen through a breakfast bar and archway, with a guest bathroom nearby for convenience. Sleeping quarters are deliberately separated from this busy zone. The first floor holds two bedrooms, each opening onto its own balcony, which allows natural ventilation and a quiet outdoor spot. The top level is occupied by the master bedroom, described as generously proportioned and naturally lit. The multi-level arrangement means stairs are part of everyday movement through the house, a point worth noting for anyone with mobility considerations. Outside, the established community provides a communal pool and landscaped garden areas, so residents can swim and relax without maintaining private facilities themselves. The surrounding neighbourhood supports a practical routine: within 2 km there are 67 restaurants, 19 cafés, 5 pharmacies, 8 banks and 4 dentists, so most daily errands are within walking or short driving distance. The area sits at just 22 m above sea level with a gradient of 2.6% toward the beach, making the walk to the coast flat and manageable. Three coves, Playa Cala Bosque, Playa Cala Cerrada and Playa Cala Estaca, lie between 0.7 and 0.9 km away as the crow flies.
The immediate surroundings of La Zenia combine residential calm with a dense service network. Within a 2 km radius, residents count 67 restaurants, 19 cafés, 5 pharmacies, 8 banks and 4 dentists, a level of provision that makes daily life largely independent of larger towns. Beach access is a defining feature: three coves lie within 0.9 km as the crow flies, and the terrain between the house and the coast is flat at a 2.6% gradient and 22 m elevation. For sport and leisure, Villamartin Golf sits 3.1 km away, with Club de Golf Las Ramblas de Orihuela at 4.0 km and Real Club de Golf Campoamor at 4.3 km. Two marinas, Puerto Deportivo Miguel Caballero (3.3 km) and Real Club Náutico (6.9 km), serve boating interests. Swimming options beyond the sea include Costa Marina pool at 1.8 km. Electric vehicle owners can charge at Ionity La Zenia, only 0.6 km away, with two further charging points within 2.2 km. Public transport covers the area through 9 lines and 50 stops, though regional travel is easier by car.
The map shows the townhouse in La Zenia, with the three nearest coves forming a short walking corridor to the coast and the golf courses of Villamartín, Las Ramblas and Campoamor clustered a few kilometres inland. The map illustrates why this spot works for both beach and golf-oriented living on the southern Costa Blanca.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
La Zenia occupies a position on the Orihuela Costa, the southernmost coastal stretch of Alicante province, close to the boundary with the Murcia region. This places it between two urban networks: the Torrevieja, Orihuela Costa tourist belt to the north and the Murcia, Cartagena corridor to the south and west. Murcia, the regional capital with over 460,000 inhabitants, is 36 km away as the crow flies; Elche (38 km) and Cartagena (42 km) complete the regional triangle. The location is therefore peripheral to the major cities but central to the beach and golf economy of the southern Costa Blanca, an area popular with international residents.
Accessibility is one of the practical strengths of this location. The nearest beaches, Playa Cala Bosque and Playa Cala Cerrada, are both 0.7 km away as the crow flies, with Playa Cala Estaca at 0.9 km, all reachable on foot given the flat terrain. Alicante-Elche Airport (ALC) lies approximately 42 km away in a straight line, the most common arrival point for international visitors; actual road distance and travel time will be longer. Valencia Airport is roughly 175 km away and Malaga-Costa del Sol about 361 km. Larger regional cities, Murcia (36 km, 462,979 inhabitants), Elche (38 km, 234,765 inhabitants) and Cartagena (42 km, 218,943 inhabitants), provide hospitals, wider shopping and cultural facilities within an hour's drive. Local public transport consists of 9 lines with 50 stops, covering the coastal strip. A car remains the most flexible option for golf, marinas and airport transfers, but daily shopping and dining are feasible on foot.

The climate data for La Zenia indicates a typical Mediterranean coastal profile. 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 swimming season extends to five months, during which sea temperatures reach at least 20°C, roughly May through September. The elevation of 22 m above sea level keeps the property well above any coastal flooding concerns while remaining low enough to avoid the temperature differences of inland hills. The gradient toward the beach is 2.6%, effectively flat, which suits walking and cycling. Outdoor use of the terrace and the communal pool is therefore realistic for most of the year, with air conditioning covering the peak summer months. The region records 32 local public holidays per year, reflecting a dense calendar of local traditions and festivities.
