A renovated, key-ready townhouse in La Zenia on the southern Costa Blanca, offered at a fixed asking price of €265,900. The property provides three bedrooms, three bathrooms and 86 m² of living space, supplemented by a glazed porch and a private patio. Built in 1970 and since modernised, it is sold fully furnished with a fitted kitchen, central heating and air conditioning. The nearest beach, Playa Cala Bosque, lies roughly 0.7 km away as the crow flies, and daily amenities including a supermarket, pharmacies and restaurants are within easy walking distance.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The house stands in a residential area of La Zenia, a coastal district south of Torrevieja in the province of Alicante. Playa Cala Bosque and Playa Cala Cerrada are both about 0.7 km away in a straight line, reachable on foot within minutes. The terrain towards the sea is flat, with a gradient of approximately 2.6%, so no notable inclines separate the property from the coastline.
The layout suits households needing three bedrooms and three bathrooms within a compact footprint. A glazed porch extends the living area, while the private patio offers outdoor space for dining. A communal swimming pool is available to residents. Central heating, air conditioning and a fully fitted kitchen support year-round occupation as well as seasonal stays, and the property comes complete with furniture.
This is not a new-build development but an existing home, originally completed in 1970 and since renovated. It is key-ready, meaning it can be occupied directly after purchase. The condition is recorded as fair, so despite the renovation works, buyers should expect a building of its age rather than contemporary new construction standards. Completion and handover are immediate upon purchase.
The property does not include a private pool; swimming facilities are communal. No private garden is listed, only a patio, and no parking space or garage is recorded in the data. At 86 m² the living area is modest for a three-bedroom home, and the 1970 construction date with fair condition indicates older building fabric despite renovation. No sea views are documented for the house itself.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A buyer seeking a turnkey second home on the Costa Blanca can arrive with suitcases and use the house immediately, since furniture, kitchen equipment and climate systems are already installed. Retirees or part-year residents who value a short, flat walk to both the supermarket and the sea will find the location supports life without constant driving. Families needing three bedrooms on a moderate budget may also consider it, though the 86 m² living area and fair condition mean expectations should be set accordingly. The house is less suitable for buyers wanting a private pool, a large garden or a garage, as none of these form part of the offering. Those seeking contemporary new-build specifications, modern insulation standards, private parking and developer warranties, would need to compare this property against the newer apartment developments in Torrevieja and El Raso referenced in the market. Buyers focused on rental potential can note the location's strengths: beaches within walking distance, a major shopping centre nearby and strong seasonal demand typical of La Zenia. However, no rental history or licence data is included, so any investment analysis would require separate verification. In short, the property addresses the buyer who prioritises location, walkability and immediate usability over size and new-build finishes.
The house was built in 1970 and has undergone renovation, though its overall condition is recorded as fair rather than excellent. This distinction matters: renovation here appears to have modernised the key living spaces rather than rebuilt the property to contemporary standards. Documented features point to a practical level of finishing. The kitchen is fully fitted, with images showing a modern layout with wooden countertops. Wood flooring is listed, which suggests the main living areas and bedrooms have been refinished. The bedroom shown in the listing includes an ensuite bathroom, consistent with the three-bathroom count for a three-bedroom house. Climate control is covered on two fronts: air conditioning in the bedrooms for summer and central heating for winter, an important combination given average monthly temperatures that range from 11°C in the coldest months to 26°C in summer. The glazed porch adds usable space that buffers heat and wind, effectively extending the living season of the house. A utility room and a basement provide storage options uncommon in compact townhouses, and the property is connected to the drinkable water supply. Buyers should weigh these positives against the realities of a 1970s building: construction standards of that era differ from current regulations on insulation, glazing and electrics unless specifically upgraded, and a technical survey would clarify what the renovation covered. No energy performance details are disclosed in the available data. The home is sold fully furnished, which reduces initial outlay but also means existing furniture forms part of the purchase.
The asking price is fixed at €265,900 for the property as offered, including furniture. As an existing, key-ready home rather than a new-build project with a price list, there is a single price rather than a range of unit types. Within the surrounding market, new-build apartments in Torrevieja start from roughly €160,000 to €169,000, while newer developments in Urbanización El Rasa begin at around €227,000. This property therefore sits above entry-level apartment pricing, reflecting its three bedrooms, three bathrooms, outdoor space and furnished condition. Availability is immediate, subject to the seller's acceptance of an offer.
Daily life here revolves around a compact, walkable coastal neighbourhood. A Mercadona supermarket sits about a minute's walk from the door, which makes ordinary grocery shopping possible without a car. Within a two-kilometre radius the area counts 67 restaurants, 19 cafés, five pharmacies, eight banks and four dentists, so most routine services are close at hand. The rhythm of the area shifts with the seasons: in summer the coves of Cala Bosque, Cala Cerrada and Cala Estaca draw beach visitors, while outside the holiday months the neighbourhood quietens into a residential pace. The house itself is organised around indoor and outdoor living in equal measure. The living room and kitchen handle the day-to-day, the glazed porch functions as a transitional room usable for much of the year, and the patio serves as the private outdoor spot for meals or quiet evenings. With the communal pool a short walk away, swimming becomes a routine rather than an outing. Air conditioning in the bedrooms and central heating mean the house remains comfortable in both August heat and the cooler weeks of January. The property's age and compact size point towards a practical, low-maintenance base rather than a spacious family villa. For buyers intending to use it as a holiday home, everything needed for a short or long stay is already in place, including furniture and a fitted kitchen. For permanent residents, the flat walk to the beach, the supermarket next door and the availability of nine public transport lines in the wider area reduce dependence on a car for most daily tasks.
La Zenia's immediate environment is dense with everyday amenities. Within two kilometres there are 67 restaurants, 19 cafés, five pharmacies and eight bank branches, an unusually complete set of services for a neighbourhood of this size, driven by the area's popularity with both residents and visitors. La Zenia Boulevard, one of the largest shopping centres in the province, is a short distance away and adds retail, dining and cinema options beyond the local offering. Recreation within easy reach includes three golf courses: Club de Golf Villamartín at 3.0 km straight-line, Club de Golf Las Ramblas de Orihuela at 4.0 km and Real Club de Golf Campoamor at 4.3 km, giving golfers a choice of three well-established courses within a ten-minute drive. Two marinas, Puerto Deportivo Miguel Caballero at 3.3 km and Real Club Náutico at 6.9 km, serve sailing and water-sport interests. For general fitness, Sport Center Montepiedra (3.6 km) and Snatch Fitness Center (4.1 km) are nearby, while two swimming pools, Costa Marina and Swimming Pool La Caleta, lie at 1.8 km and 2.0 km respectively. Public transport in the area covers nine lines with 50 stops, sufficient for local connections towards Torrevieja, Orihuela Costa and inland towns, though a car remains useful for regional travel and airport runs.
The map shows the property's position in La Zenia, moments from the coves of Cala Bosque and Cala Cerrada and the La Zenia Boulevard shopping centre. Three golf courses, two marinas and the coastal footpaths of the Orihuela Costa are all within a five-kilometre radius. Alicante-Elche Airport lies roughly 42 km to the north-east in a straight line.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
La Zenia forms part of Orihuela Costa, the southernmost coastal stretch of the province of Alicante, close to the boundary with the Region of Murcia. The regional context is urban and well connected: Murcia (about 463,000 inhabitants) lies 36 km away in a straight line, Elche (about 235,000) at 38 km and Cartagena (about 219,000) at 42 km. Torrevieja, the nearest sizeable town, sits a short drive to the north. Within the Costa Blanca property market, La Zenia occupies a mid-market position: more built-up and amenity-rich than rural inland areas, generally less expensive than the premium enclaves further north, and competitive with neighbouring Torrevieja and Orihuela Costa districts.
The nearest beach, Playa Cala Bosque, is 0.7 km away as the crow flies, with Playa Cala Cerrada at the same distance and Playa Cala Estaca at 0.9 km, all within a flat walk of roughly five to ten minutes on foot. Road distances will be somewhat longer than these straight-line figures. Alicante-Elche Airport (ALC) lies approximately 42 km away in a straight line, which translates to a drive of well under an hour in normal traffic; the existing description records a comparable journey time of around 34 minutes by car. Valencia Airport is roughly 175 km away and Malaga-Costa del Sol about 361 km, making Alicante the practical gateway. Regional cities are reachable for day trips: Murcia at 36 km straight-line, Elche at 38 km and Cartagena at 42 km. By car, the AP-7 motorway and the N-332 coastal road provide north, south connections along the Costa Blanca. Charging an electric car is unproblematic, with an Ionity fast-charging station only 0.6 km away and additional Iberdrola and Eranovum points at 1.9 km and 2.2 km respectively.

The climate is a central feature of this location. The average annual temperature is 18.9°C, with monthly averages ranging from about 11°C in winter to 26°C in summer, a pattern that supports outdoor living for most of the year. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts around five months, roughly from late spring into early autumn. The area sits at a low 22 metres above sea level with a flat gradient of about 2.6% towards the coast, so the terrain poses no barriers to walking and no views are gained from elevation. Rainfall is modest and concentrated outside the summer months, consistent with the semi-arid character of the southern Costa Blanca. The coastline near La Zenia consists of a series of small rocky coves rather than long sandy expanses, and the clifftop paths between them double as walking routes with sea views, the View Torrejieja viewpoint at 5.0 km is one such spot. The combination of mild winters, hot dry summers and low elevation makes the local environment well suited to year-round residence as well as seasonal visits.

Beach access is one of the strongest attributes of this location. Three coves lie within one kilometre in a straight line: Playa Cala Bosque (0.7 km), Playa Cala Cerrada (0.7 km) and Playa Cala Estaca (0.9 km). These are sheltered sandy-rocky coves typical of the Orihuela Costa shoreline, suited to swimming and snorkelling, and reachable on foot from the house. Beyond swimming, the recreational offer is broad. Golfers can choose between three courses within 4.3 km: Villamartín (3.0 km), Las Ramblas de Orihuela (4.0 km) and Campoamor (4.3 km), all established 18-hole layouts. Sailing and mooring facilities are available at Puerto Deportivo Miguel Caballero (3.3 km) and Real Club Náutico (6.9 km). Land-based sport is covered by two fitness and sports centres within about four kilometres, plus the communal pool of the property's own community for daily swimming without leaving the neighbourhood. Coastal footpaths along the clifftops provide walking and running routes with sea views. This concentration of beach, golf and marina facilities within a five-kilometre radius is characteristic of the Orihuela Costa and distinguishes the area from more rural stretches of the coast.

Measured against comparable offerings in the surrounding market, this townhouse occupies a distinct position. The nearest comparable projects are new-build apartments: Palangre Beach in Torrevieja from €160,000, Edificio Sun & Center in Torrevieja from €169,000, and Oasis Laguna 2 Phase II in Urbanización El Raso from €227,000. At a fixed €265,900, this property prices above all three entry points, and the explanation lies in what it offers beyond a bare apartment: three bedrooms, three bathrooms including an ensuite, a private patio, a glazed porch, a utility room, a basement, central heating, air conditioning and full furniture inclusion. What the comparables offer in return is new construction, current building regulations, developer warranties and, in most cases, lower running costs, against a property built in 1970 and recorded in fair condition. Location also differs. La Zenia places this house within a five-minute walk of both a supermarket and the beach, inside an established neighbourhood with dense amenity provision. Torrevieja offers a larger town environment with more services but a more urban character, while El Raso sits slightly inland in a quieter residential setting where the beach is a drive rather than a walk. The La Zenia location also benefits from its position at the heart of the Orihuela Costa golf cluster, with three courses within 4.3 km, and from immediate proximity to La Zenia Boulevard. Buyers comparing these options are effectively trading build age and finish against space, equipment and walkability: the apartments win on newness and price, while this townhouse delivers a more complete, immediately usable package in a proven coastal neighbourhood. Median provincial income of €15,750 per year provides context for local purchasing power, though the property's buyer pool is primarily international rather than domestic.
