This key-ready apartment is situated in the Los Altos area of Orihuela Costa, in the south of the Alicante province on the Costa Blanca. The property offers two bedrooms, two bathrooms and 82 m² of living space, with a private garden and terraces at both the front and rear. The urbanisation includes two communal swimming pools, green areas and a children's play area. A storage room is included in the asking price of €190,000. The location lies within easy reach of the beaches, golf courses and commercial facilities of the southern Costa Blanca, with Alicante-Elche airport roughly 34 km away as the crow flies.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Los Altos is a residential district of Orihuela Costa, positioned between the coastal towns of Torrevieja and Punta Prima. The area combines permanent residences with holiday homes. Within a 2 km radius there are 49 restaurants, 17 cafés, 5 pharmacies and 7 banks, which means daily errands can largely be done on foot or by a short drive.
The apartment suits households seeking a manageable property with both indoor and outdoor space. The 82 m² interior, two bathrooms and the extra enclosed room allow flexible use, while the private garden and two terraces extend the living area outdoors. Air conditioning is installed, and a storage room is included with the property.
This is an existing home completed in 1970, delivered key-ready. No construction risk or waiting period applies: the buyer can take occupation directly after completion of the purchase. Any renovation or updating works, if desired, would need to be arranged and budgeted separately by the new owner.
The property is an apartment within a communal urbanisation, so there is no private swimming pool; bathing facilities are shared with other residents. No parking space, lift or separate utility room beyond the storage unit is listed in the available data. The build year of 1970 means the construction predates current building standards; no data on recent technical renovations is available.

This property fits several recognisable situations. A couple seeking a holiday home on the southern Costa Blanca will find the two bathrooms, the garden and the communal pools practical for visits throughout the year. Buyers relocating permanently benefit from the key-ready condition, the density of daily amenities within 2 km and the moderate price point relative to the regional market. Investors considering rental use should note the location's established seasonal demand: Orihuela Costa is a consolidated holiday letting area, and an 82 m² apartment with outdoor space fits the profile commonly requested by summer tenants. The property is less suitable for buyers prioritising new-build specifications, contemporary energy performance or a private pool on their own plot. Households needing three full bedrooms may find the layout tight, although the enclosed additional room offers a partial solution. Buyers who want to be within walking distance of the beach should verify the exact distance to the coastline before proceeding, as Los Altos sits slightly inland relative to the first beach line. Finally, those sensitive to seasonal crowds should weigh the summer peak in visitor numbers against the quiet shoulder seasons, which most permanent residents describe as the area's most pleasant period.
The available documentation points to a conventional Mediterranean finish typical of residential construction in this area. The hallway contains a wooden wardrobe, and the bathroom is finished with tiled walls and built-in storage, which is consistent with practical, low-maintenance materials suited to the coastal climate. The kitchen is equipped with wooden cabinets and a microwave, indicating a functional rather than newly fitted installation. Floors in the circulation areas are tiled, a standard choice in the region for its durability and ease of cleaning, particularly when sand from beach visits is a regular factor. The property is sold furnished, which reduces initial setup costs for buyers intending to use it immediately or let it out. Air conditioning is installed, relevant given average monthly temperatures ranging from 12°C in winter to 26°C in summer. As the building dates from an earlier construction period, buyers are advised to assess the technical installations, electrical wiring, plumbing, windows and insulation, during a viewing or through an independent survey, since no documentation on recent upgrades is available in the data. The urbanisation's shared elements, including the two pools, green areas and play area, are described as well maintained, which affects both living comfort and the level of community fees. The storage room included with the apartment adds practical capacity for beach equipment, bicycles and seasonal items that do not fit in an 82 m² interior.
The asking price is a fixed €190,000 for this existing, key-ready apartment. This is not a price-list property with unit variations: the price applies to this specific home with its two bedrooms, two bathrooms, 82 m² of living space, private garden, terraces and storage room. As a resale property, the purchase process follows standard second-hand market practice in Spain, including notary proceedings and applicable transfer costs. Compared with new-build alternatives in the wider area, which start at roughly €160,000 to €227,000 for comparable apartment types, this property sits in the mid-range of the local price band, with the garden and second bathroom as differentiating features.
Daily life in Los Altos revolves around a low-rise residential fabric with a strong seasonal rhythm. In spring and autumn the neighbourhood is quiet, with a mixture of permanent residents, mostly Spanish and Northern European, and periodically returning holiday homeowners. In July and August activity increases noticeably as holiday occupancy reaches its peak, which is typical for Orihuela Costa. The apartment itself supports a straightforward daily routine. The living-dining room connects to the rear terrace and private garden, making outdoor meals possible for most of the year given the regional climate. The kitchen is functional, fitted with wooden cabinets, and the second bathroom reduces pressure on the morning schedule for a family or two couples sharing. The additional enclosed space can serve as a study, storage area or small third sleeping space depending on needs. Errands are practical: with 49 restaurants, 17 cafés, several banks and five pharmacies within 2 km, most daily requirements are nearby. The nearest large commercial centre and the beaches of the Orihuela Costa coastline are a short drive away. A car is the most practical mode of transport here; the area does have 13 public transport lines and 50 stops, but services are oriented towards the coastal corridor rather than high-frequency urban commuting. The communal pools and the children's play area give the urbanisation a family-friendly element during the warmer months.
The surrounding area is defined by the southern Costa Blanca's mix of residential tourism and established services. Los Altos lies close to Torrevieja, whose sports infrastructure, including the Palacio de Deportes Infanta Cristina at roughly 4.9 km straight-line and CF Torrevieja at 4.6 km, covers most indoor and club sporting needs. The Real Club Náutico marina sits about 5.5 km away in a straight line, offering mooring-related activities and waterfront dining. For golfers, three courses lie within roughly 10 km as the crow flies: Club de Golf La Finca (8.2 km), Club de Golf Villamartín (8.3 km) and Real Club de Golf Campoamor (9.9 km), placing the apartment within one of the denser golf clusters on this coast. Electric vehicle owners can charge at the Iberdrola Oasis Center (6.6 km) or the Ionity station at La Zenia (9.3 km). Daily life is supported by the dense amenity provision within 2 km: restaurants, cafés, pharmacies, banks and dentists are all within short reach. The area sits at approximately 4 m below sea level in a flat coastal plain, meaning the terrain poses no walking or cycling difficulties. Larger cities, Murcia at 35 km and Cartagena at 39 km straight-line, are reachable for work, hospitals or cultural trips.
The map shows the property's position in Los Altos, Orihuela Costa, in relation to the beaches, the La Zenia commercial area and the golf courses of the southern Costa Blanca. Torrevieja lies directly north, with the AP-7 corridor connecting the area to Alicante airport and the wider region. Distances shown are straight-line measurements.

Orihuela Costa occupies the southernmost coastal strip of the Alicante province, bordering the Region of Murcia. Within the region it functions as a residential tourism zone between Torrevieja to the north and the Mar Menor to the south. Compared with the Costa del Sol further west, over 360 km straight-line from Málaga airport, this stretch of the Costa Blanca generally offers lower price levels and a flatter coastal profile. The position relative to Murcia and Cartagena gives the area two regional cities within an hour, complementing the pull of Alicante to the north.
Accessibility is one of the stronger aspects of this location. Alicante-Elche Airport (ALC) lies roughly 34 km away in a straight line, making flight connections to Northern Europe practical for regular visits; road distance and travel time will be longer than the direct distance. Valencia Airport is approximately 166 km away straight-line and Málaga-Costa del Sol about 365 km, the latter realistically only an option for onward travel rather than routine use. Within the immediate area, a car remains the dominant transport mode: beaches, the large shopping centre at La Zenia and the golf courses are all most conveniently reached by driving. Public transport exists, 13 lines and 50 stops are recorded, but frequencies suit occasional use rather than car-free living. Regional cities such as Murcia (35 km straight-line, around 463,000 inhabitants) and Cartagena (39 km) provide higher-order services, hospitals and employment centres within an hour's drive. Elche, with roughly 235,000 inhabitants, lies 41 km straight-line away. The AP-7 motorway corridor runs through this part of the coast, connecting the area north towards Alicante and south towards the Mar Menor.

The climate data indicates a typical semi-arid Mediterranean profile: an average annual temperature of 18.8°C, with monthly averages ranging from 12°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer. The swimming season extends to about five months per year during which sea temperatures remain at or above 20°C, roughly from late May into October. Rainfall is low by European standards, concentrating in occasional autumn storms, while sunshine hours are high throughout the year. The elevation of approximately 4 m below sea level reflects the flat salt-lagoon plain around Torrevieja and Orihuela Costa; the terrain is level, with no slopes affecting access or views. The immediate natural context includes the protected salt lakes of the Torrevieja and La Mata lagoons a short distance north, an area known for birdlife and walking routes. The dry air and stable temperatures are among the reasons this stretch of coast attracts both retirees and seasonal residents from Northern Europe. Practical consequences for residents include high summer temperatures requiring the installed air conditioning, and mild winters where heating needs are limited.

Orihuela Costa is known for its succession of sandy coves and Blue Flag-calibre beaches stretching from Punta Prima to Mil Palmeras, all within a short drive of Los Altos. The nearest beach accesses lie along the coast road a few minutes away by car. For boating and waterfront recreation, the Real Club Náutico marina sits about 5.5 km straight-line from the property. Golf is the area's strongest recreational card: La Finca, Villamartín and Campoamor, three established 18-hole courses, all lie within roughly 10 km as the crow flies, so a round of golf rarely requires more than a quarter of an hour of driving. Team and indoor sports are covered by the facilities in Torrevieja, including the Palacio de Deportes Infanta Cristina. Within the urbanisation itself, the two communal swimming pools and the children's play area provide day-to-day recreation without leaving the complex. The concentration of 49 restaurants and 17 cafés within 2 km reflects the area's hospitality sector, which stays active for most of the year, not only in peak summer. Walking and cycling are feasible on the flat terrain, and the coastal promenade connecting the beaches offers the standard evening route for residents of this part of the coast.

Within the immediate regional market, this apartment competes with both resale stock and new-build developments along the Torrevieja, Orihuela Costa corridor. Comparable new-build projects include Apartments Palangre Beach in Torrevieja (from €160,000), Edificio Sun & Center, also key-ready in Torrevieja (from €169,000), and Oasis Laguna 2 Phase II in Urbanización El Raso (from €227,000). Against these, the €190,000 fixed asking price positions this property between the entry-level new-build units and the higher-priced second phase at El Raso. The differentiating factors are tangible: a private garden, terraces on two sides, a second bathroom and an included storage room, features that many new-build apartments in the lower price brackets do not combine in one unit. New-build alternatives offer modern construction standards, better expected energy performance and developer payment structures, while this resale property offers immediate availability and established urbanisation facilities without construction risk. Locationally, Los Altos sits marginally inland from the first beach line, whereas Palangre Beach lies closer to the Torrevieja waterfront; buyers weighing sea proximity against outdoor space will notice this trade-off. The wider region adds context: the province's median income of €15,750 per year sits well below Northern European levels, which supports the relative affordability of property prices and local living costs for international buyers. Demand in Orihuela Costa follows a seasonal pattern driven by holiday letting, which affects both rental potential and summer occupancy of the communal facilities. Buyers comparing options should weigh build year and technical condition against the price difference: roughly €20,000 to €30,000 separates this unit from the cheapest new-build alternatives, a gap that renovation or updating works on a 1970s construction could partially or fully consume. Conversely, the garden and dual terraces give this property an outdoor living area that new-build competitors at similar prices rarely match.
