This 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment is located in Playa Flamenca, part of Orihuela Costa in the province of Alicante. The property has a built area of 45 square metres and sits on the first floor of a residential building completed in 1970. It is offered key-ready and unfurnished, with a private balcony overlooking a quiet access road where residents can park. The asking price is fixed at €119,000. The surrounding neighbourhood offers a wide range of daily amenities within walking distance, including restaurants, cafés, pharmacies and banks, with several golf courses and marinas within roughly ten kilometres.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Playa Flamenca is a residential area within Orihuela Costa, close to the boundary with Torrevieja. The location sits at or just below sea level on flat coastal terrain, meaning no significant slopes in daily movement. Shops, restaurants and everyday services are concentrated within a two-kilometre radius, while larger cities such as Murcia and Elche lie 35 to 41 kilometres away as the crow flies.
The apartment offers one bedroom, one bathroom and 45 square metres of living space, arranged as a living area, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. Air conditioning is installed. The balcony provides private outdoor space. The manageable size suits single occupancy, a couple, or use as a rental unit, and the unfurnished state allows the buyer to determine the interior themselves.
This is an existing property in a building completed in 1970, offered key-ready and available for immediate transfer of use. It is not a new-build development, and no construction phases or delivery schedules apply. Buyers should factor in the age of the building when assessing maintenance history, community arrangements and any renovation needs of the interior.
The property has one bedroom and 45 square metres of built area, which limits its suitability for larger households. It is sold unfurnished. There is no mention of a private garden, swimming pool, dedicated parking space or storage room in the available data. The building dates from 1970, so modern insulation standards and contemporary fittings cannot be assumed without inspection.

This property fits a recognisable set of buyer situations. It suits a single person or couple seeking a modestly priced foothold on the southern Costa Blanca, either as a permanent residence or a second home with occasional use. The one-bedroom layout and 45 square metres are workable for that profile, but would be restrictive for a family or for buyers needing a home office and guest accommodation simultaneously. It also matches an investment scenario: the neighbourhood's established international community, year-round amenity base and access to long-term tenants are relevant factors for residential letting, and the unfurnished state allows the buyer to prepare the unit for the rental market to their own standard. Buyers who want a turnkey holiday apartment with communal pool, sea views or modern build quality should look elsewhere in the market, as none of those features are listed for this property. Equally, buyers prioritising new-build guarantees, contemporary energy performance or a dedicated parking space will find the 1970 construction date a reason to inspect carefully before committing. In short, the property is most relevant for price-conscious buyers who value location and service density over space and modern finishes.
The available data describes a fully equipped kitchen, a bright living area, a bedroom and a bathroom, sold unfurnished with air conditioning installed. Photographic analysis shows wooden cabinetry in the kitchen and living area, a functional hallway with a separate space for the washing machine, and a bedroom with a dresser and nightstand. These observations indicate a lived-in but maintained interior rather than a recently renovated one. The building dates from 1970, which has practical implications a buyer should verify: the electrical installation, plumbing, windows and any insulation will reflect their age unless they have been replaced, and Spanish buildings of this era predate current energy-efficiency requirements. Air conditioning provides cooling and, depending on the unit type, possibly heating, but buyers relying on it through winter should confirm its capacity and running costs. No information is available on the condition of the building's roof, facade or communal areas, nor on community fees, so these points belong on the due-diligence list. The balcony and exterior carpentry should also be inspected for weathering, which is normal for coastal properties exposed to salt air. Overall, the finishing level should be assessed as serviceable and dated rather than contemporary, with renovation budgeting a reasonable consideration for buyers intending to let the property at higher standards.
The apartment is offered at a fixed asking price of €119,000. This is an existing resale property, not a new-build development with a price list, so no 'from' pricing or unit variation applies. At 45 square metres of built area, the price corresponds to roughly €2,644 per square metre. For context, comparable new-build apartments in the wider area start from €160,000 in Torrevieja and rise to around €227,000 in Urbanización El Raso, which places this property at the lower end of the regional price range. Availability is immediate, as the property is key-ready. Buyers should account for purchase costs such as transfer tax, notary fees and registry fees on top of the asking price.
Daily life around this apartment revolves around a compact, established residential neighbourhood with a strong international community. Within two kilometres there are 49 restaurants, 17 cafés, five pharmacies, seven banks and four dental practices, which means most errands can be done on foot or by a short drive. That density of services is characteristic of Orihuela Costa and supports year-round living rather than purely seasonal use. The apartment itself functions as a compact base: a living area with a fully equipped kitchen, a separate bedroom with space for a dresser, a bathroom, and a balcony facing a quiet access road where residents park their vehicles. A hallway leads to a utility area with a washing machine connection, which adds practical convenience for a property of this size. The rhythm of the area is typical of the southern Costa Blanca: busy during summer months when holiday visitors arrive, and considerably quieter outside the season, when the permanent resident population dominates. Public transport is reasonably present for a coastal suburb, with 13 lines and 50 stops recorded in the area, reducing absolute dependence on a car, although many residents still use one for shopping trips, the beach and regional travel. For a resident, the practical consequence is a low-maintenance home in a walkable setting, with the trade-off of limited interior space and the realities of a 1970s building.
The immediate surroundings of Playa Flamenca are defined by residential urbanisations interspersed with commercial strips. Within two kilometres, the density of restaurants, cafés, pharmacies and banks indicates a mature service infrastructure that operates through the winter as well as the summer, which distinguishes Orihuela Costa from more seasonal resort areas. Sports facilities are within reach: a taekwondo club sits 2.6 kilometres away, CF Torrevieja's grounds at 4.6 kilometres and the Palacio de Deportes Infanta Cristina at 4.9 kilometres, all measured as the crow flies. The Real Club Náutico marina lies 5.5 kilometres away. For electric-vehicle owners, charging points are available at Iberdrola Oasis Center (6.6 km) and Ionity La Zenia (9.3 km). Golf is a notable feature of the wider area, with Club de Golf La Finca at 8.2 kilometres, Villamartín at 8.3 kilometres and Campoamor at 9.9 kilometres. Public transport provision, 13 lines and 50 stops, is substantial for a coastal suburb, meaning the beach, shopping centres and Torrevieja city can be reached without a private vehicle, though journey times will be longer than by car.
The map shows the apartment's position in Playa Flamenca, between the beaches of Orihuela Costa and the town centre of Torrevieja. Points of interest, golf courses, the marina, sports facilities and charging stations, are marked with straight-line distances. Road distances will be somewhat longer than the figures shown.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Orihuela Costa occupies the southernmost stretch of the Alicante province's coastline, directly bordering the Murcia region. The position places it closer to Murcia and Cartagena than to Alicante city, which shapes its economy, transport links and property market. Within the Costa Blanca South, the area competes with Torrevieja and La Mata on price while offering a more urbanisation-based, golf-and-resort character. The proximity of three golf courses and two large shopping centres gives it a distinct profile among coastal towns in the province. For international buyers, the area is well established, with long-running expatriate communities from across Northern Europe.
Accessibility is a strong point of this location. Alicante-Elche Airport lies approximately 34 kilometres away in a straight line, making it one of the closer coastal areas to the region's main international airport; Valencia airport is about 166 kilometres away and Málaga roughly 365 kilometres. Regional cities are reachable for day trips: Murcia at 35 kilometres, Cartagena at 39 kilometres and Elche at 41 kilometres, all straight-line figures, with actual road distances somewhat longer. The beaches of Orihuela Costa and Torrevieja are a short drive or bus ride away. By car, the AP-7 motorway and the N-332 coastal road serve the area, giving straightforward connections along the coast. Parking is described as convenient on the access road in front of the building, which is a practical benefit in an area where summer visitor pressure can make parking harder. For residents without a car, the 13 bus lines and 50 stops provide a workable alternative for daily movement.

The climate data shows average monthly temperatures ranging from 12°C in the coolest month to 26°C in the warmest, with an annual average of 18.8°C, a typical semi-arid Mediterranean pattern with mild winters and warm, dry summers. The swimming season lasts about five months, during which sea temperatures remain at or above 20°C, roughly from late May to mid-October. The elevation is recorded at -4 metres, meaning the terrain is essentially flat coastal lowland; no hills or stairs complicate walking, cycling or mobility for older residents. Rainfall in this corner of the Costa Blanca is among the lowest in Spain, which supports outdoor living for most of the year but also means the landscape is dry rather than lush. The flat terrain combined with the mild climate makes walking and cycling practical transport modes for much of the year.

The Orihuela Costa and Torrevieja coastline offers a succession of sandy coves and beaches within a few kilometres of the property, accessible by car or public transport. The Real Club Náutico marina at 5.5 kilometres supports sailing and water-based recreation. Golf is the standout leisure asset of the area: three courses, La Finca (8.2 km), Villamartín (8.3 km) and Real Club de Golf Campoamor (9.9 km), lie within ten kilometres, an unusual concentration that defines much of the area's residential appeal. Indoor and organised sport is covered by the Palacio de Deportes Infanta Cristina in Torrevieja and local clubs including a taekwondo centre 2.6 kilometres away. With 49 restaurants and 17 cafés within two kilometres, dining out is a routine option rather than an occasional outing. The five-month swimming season means beach and pool use is realistic from late spring to autumn rather than year-round.

At €119,000, this apartment is positioned clearly below the entry price of new-build stock in the same market. The closest comparables are new developments in Torrevieja, Apartments Palangre Beach from €160,000 and Edificio Sun & Center from €169,000, and Oasis Laguna 2 Phase II in Urbanización El Raso from €227,000. The price difference of €41,000 to more than €100,000 reflects three factors: the 1970 construction date versus new build, the compact 45-square-metre size, and the absence of new-build amenities such as communal pools, gyms or dedicated parking. Locationally, Playa Flamenca sits between Torrevieja's urban beachfront and the golf-oriented urbanisations of Villamartín and Campoamor. It shares the same climate, the same airport access via Alicante-Elche at roughly 34 kilometres, and the same density of restaurants and services, but offers an older, lower-rise residential fabric. Within the southern Costa Blanca, Orihuela Costa as a whole has historically undercut prices in the northern Costa Blanca, towns such as Altea or Javea, while offering flatter terrain and drier weather. For a buyer weighing this property against the new-build comparables, the trade-off is straightforward: a lower entry price and immediate availability, in exchange for an older building and no developer guarantees. Buyers focused on long-term rental yield may find the lower purchase price partly offsets the older finish, provided the interior condition and community costs are verified during due diligence.
