This completed top-floor apartment is located in the Amapolas II community in La Zenia, part of Orihuela Costa in the province of Alicante. The property offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms and 52 m² of built living space, arranged over two levels with a private solarium. The building dates from 1970 and the unit is delivered in ready condition. Within a two-kilometre radius, daily amenities are dense: a supermarket at roughly 625 metres, a pharmacy at 632 metres, and dozens of restaurants and cafés. Beaches such as Platja de La Roqueta and Platja Centre sit approximately six kilometres away, and Alicante-Elche airport is reachable within a reasonable driving distance.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
La Zenia sits within Orihuela Costa, an urbanised coastal district in southern Alicante province. The apartment sits in a built-up residential area with shops, pharmacies and schools within walking distance. Beaches are roughly six kilometres away by road. The nearest golf courses, including Villamartín and Campoamor, are within twenty kilometres. Thirteen public transport lines and around fifty stops serve the wider area.
The layout places a living room, separate kitchen, two bedrooms and a family bathroom on the main floor, with a third bedroom, an additional bathroom and a private solarium upstairs. Air conditioning is installed. The upper level functions as a separate zone, which suits households wanting privacy between occupants or flexible use of the solarium as outdoor living space. A communal swimming pool is part of the community facilities.
This is not a new-build project. The building was completed in 1970 and the apartment is delivered in a completed, ready-to-occupy state. Buyers should expect construction standards of its period rather than contemporary energy regulations, and factor this into renovation or maintenance planning. No phasing, no off-plan risk and no waiting time apply; the purchase can proceed directly on the resale market.
The property does not offer underfloor heating, a private pool, an enclosed garage or sea-front positioning. Parking is open. The built area of 52 m² is modest for a three-bedroom configuration, which affects the size of individual rooms. The building's 1970 construction date means energy efficiency documentation is limited compared with new-build standards. Beaches are not within walking distance.

This property fits several recognisable situations. A buyer seeking a ready-to-use holiday base on the Costa Blanca, without off-plan waiting time, can occupy it immediately; the communal pool and solarium cover the seasonal outdoor needs while beaches are a short drive away. A household needing three separate sleeping spaces on a moderate budget benefits from the duplex-style arrangement, where the upper bedroom with its own bathroom isolates guests or one occupant from the main floor. Buyers prioritising walkable daily amenities, supermarket, pharmacy, cafés and restaurants within a kilometre, will find the immediate surroundings well supplied. Part-year residents who want to reduce car dependency locally will value the 13 public transport lines serving the area. Conversely, the property suits buyers less well if the priority is direct beach access on foot, contemporary energy performance, or generous interior space per room; the 52 m² footprint distributes across three bedrooms, and the 1970 construction date places the building outside current efficiency standards. Investors comparing against new-build alternatives in Torrevieja from €160,000 should weigh the older construction, included vehicle and solarium against modern specification. In short: practical, positioned, complete, but compact and of its era.
The property is delivered in completed condition, with an interior layout typical of Spanish coastal apartments of its generation: a separate kitchen rather than an open-plan arrangement, tiled surfaces throughout, and a family bathroom on the main floor with a second bathroom on the solarium level. Photographs show standard tiled bathrooms with shower units and a furnished bedroom arrangement on the upper floor, indicating the unit is presented in habitable, lived-in condition rather than newly renovated. Buyers should verify on inspection the state of the air conditioning unit, the waterproofing of the solarium, the most maintenance-sensitive element of any top-floor property of this age, and the electrical installation, which in 1970 buildings may not originally have been dimensioned for modern appliance loads. The building itself is described as a well-maintained community, which places responsibility for façade, roof and common areas within the community structure; monthly community fees apply and should be confirmed. No energy performance certificate details are supplied; given the construction date, buyers should expect an efficiency rating below current new-build requirements and consider insulation and glazing quality during a viewing. Parking is open, meaning no enclosed garage space belongs to the unit. The included vehicle is an unusual element in Spanish resale transactions and its legal transfer should be handled formally in the purchase process. Overall, the specification is functional and dated rather than contemporary; the property's value case rests on layout, location and completeness rather than on modern finish levels.
The asking price is €195,000 for the completed apartment with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, 52 m² of built area, a private solarium and access to the communal pool. A vehicle is included in the sale. Comparable stock in the wider region shows new-build apartments in Torrevieja from €160,000 and €169,000, and units at Oasis Laguna 2 in El Raso from €227,000. Against those figures, this property's price reflects its resale character, solarium and urban location; buyers comparing on price per square metre will note the compact built area relative to the bedroom count. Prices should be treated as indicative and subject to negotiation and transaction costs.
Daily life in this part of La Zenia follows an urban coastal rhythm rather than a resort one. The immediate streets form part of an established residential belt of Orihuela Costa, where low-rise blocks and townhouses sit alongside a high density of practical amenities: within two kilometres, there are 49 restaurants, 17 cafés, 5 pharmacies, 7 banks and 4 dentists. The supermarket roughly 625 metres away makes daily groceries a walking matter. The apartment's two-level layout shapes how the household uses it. The main floor carries the routine of cooking, eating and sleeping, while the upper floor with its solarium extends the living space outdoors, useful in a region recording around 3,854 sunshine hours per year and a five-month swimming season with sea temperatures above 20°C. The communal pool covers the swimming need without private maintenance. A car broadens the radius considerably: the beaches around six kilometres away, La Finca golf course within about eight kilometres by road, and Torrevieja's sports infrastructure, including the Palacio de Deportes Infanta Cristina at 4.9 kilometres. Public transport exists, 13 lines and roughly 50 stops, which reduces car dependency for local trips, though a vehicle remains practical for beach, golf and airport journeys. The area is busier in summer months, as is typical for Orihuela Costa, and quieter outside the season. Residents should expect a mixed population of permanent inhabitants and seasonal visitors.
The surrounding area operates as a year-round urban district rather than a seasonal resort enclave. Within a two-kilometre radius, the density of services is high: 49 restaurants, 17 cafés, 7 banks and 5 pharmacies indicate an environment where daily errands do not require long journeys. The nearest supermarket at approximately 625 metres and pharmacy at 632 metres place essentials within a ten-minute walk. Healthcare extends to a hospital roughly 1.9 kilometres away, which is a meaningful factor for permanent residents. Sports facilities are distributed nearby: a taekwondo club at 2.6 kilometres, CF Torrevieja's grounds at 4.6 kilometres and the municipal Palacio de Deportes Infanta Cristina at 4.9 kilometres. The Real Club Náutico marina lies about 5.5 kilometres away. Mobility is mixed in a practical sense: the 13 bus lines and 50 stops cover local circulation, but the beaches at six kilometres, the golf courses and regional trips favour car ownership, consistent with the inclusion of a vehicle in this sale. Electric vehicle owners will find charging infrastructure at the Iberdrola Oasis Center (6.6 km) and Ionity La Zenia (9.3 km), plus a nearer charge point at about five kilometres. Traffic intensity follows the coastal calendar: busier in July and August, moderate through spring and autumn, and quiet in winter months when part of the housing stock stands empty.
The map shows the apartment's position within La Zenia's residential fabric: dense amenities within one kilometre, Torrevieja's urban infrastructure five kilometres north, and the beaches, marina and golf courses arranged in a ring between five and eighteen kilometres. Alicante-Elche airport lies to the north-east at approximately 34 kilometres.

Orihuela Costa forms the southernmost coastal stretch of Alicante province, bordering the Vega Baja and the Murcia region. La Zenia, where the apartment sits, is one of its most service-dense zones, positioned between Torrevieja to the north, with its hospital, sports facilities and marina within five kilometres, and the golf belt of Villamartín, Campoamor and La Finca to the south and west. Alicante-Elche airport at roughly 34 kilometres straight-line distance anchors regional accessibility, while the AP-7 motorway connects southwards to Murcia and the Mar Menor. The location thus reads as a midpoint: urban Torrevieja convenience to the north, golf and coastal leisure to the south.
Beaches: Platja de La Roqueta, Platja Centre and Platja del Montcaio all lie approximately 6.0–6.1 kilometres from the property, reachable by car in ten to fifteen minutes depending on traffic. Cities: Torrevieja's urban centre and its sports and healthcare infrastructure sit within about five kilometres, while Orihuela Costa's commercial zones, including the La Zenia area retail provision, are close at hand. Airport: Alicante-Elche (ALC) is roughly 34 kilometres in a straight line, typically a 40–50 minute drive; Valencia (VLC) lies about 166 kilometres away and Málaga (AGP) about 365 kilometres. Golf: Club de Golf La Finca is the nearest course at 7.2–8.2 kilometres depending on route, with Villamartín and Real Club de Golf Campoamor further out at roughly 16–18 kilometres. Hospital care is approximately 1.9 kilometres away, and a pharmacy 632 metres.

The climate data for this location indicates average temperatures ranging from 12°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer, with a mean annual temperature of 18.8°C, a moderate Mediterranean profile without extreme summer peaks compared with inland zones. Historical sunshine hours total approximately 3,854 per year, among the higher figures for coastal Spain, which directly supports the practical use of the private solarium as an outdoor room for most of the year. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts about five months, roughly June through October; the communal pool extends this window somewhat as it warms faster than the sea. The location sits at approximately four metres below sea level in relative terms, effectively flat coastal terrain, which means no hill climbs between home and amenities and straightforward walking conditions around the neighbourhood. Rainfall concentrates in autumn months, and the area records 32 local public holidays per year, reflecting an active municipal festive calendar typical of Alicante province towns.

The three nearest beaches, Platja de La Roqueta, Platja Centre and Platja del Montcaio, all sit around six kilometres away on the Torrevieja coastline. These are urban sandy beaches with the promenade infrastructure typical of the area: chiringuitos, walkways and summer lifeguard provision. Buyers should confirm current Blue Flag status for individual beaches, as designations are reviewed annually. For sailing and water sports, the Real Club Náutico marina lies about 5.5 kilometres away. Golf options form a genuine strength of the wider positioning: Club de Golf La Finca at roughly eight kilometres is one of the Vega Baja's established 18-hole courses, while Villamartín and Real Club de Golf Campoamor, both well-known championship layouts, sit within a twenty-kilometre radius, giving residents three courses within half an hour. Land sports are covered by the Palacio de Deportes Infanta Cristina in Torrevieja at 4.9 kilometres and several local clubs. For evening and weekend recreation, the density of 49 restaurants within two kilometres supplies year-round options without travelling to the coast itself.

Within the immediate competitive set, this apartment occupies a distinct position. Palangre Beach apartments in Torrevieja start from €160,000 and Edificio Sun & Center from €169,000, both new-build or key-ready stock in Torrevieja proper, closer to that town's beaches and promenade. Oasis Laguna 2 Phase II in El Raso starts from €227,000 and offers new construction with modern specification in a greener inland setting near Guardamar. Against these, the Amapolas II property at €195,000 is neither the cheapest nor the newest: its case rests on the duplex-type layout with a private solarium, three bedrooms and two bathrooms on a resale budget, plus the inclusion of a vehicle. Buyers trading off specification against space will note that the new-build alternatives typically deliver one or two bedrooms at these price points, whereas this unit provides three separate sleeping spaces, at the cost of 52 m² total built area and 1970 construction standards. Locationally, La Zenia sits between the two poles of the comparison: more amenity-dense than El Raso, slightly further from the beachfront than central Torrevieja, but with three golf courses within twenty kilometres and Torrevieja's hospital and sports infrastructure within five. The Orihuela Costa market generally carries strong international resale demand, and provincial median income of €15,750 indicates that local purchasing power differs markedly from the international buyer segment active here, a factor that supports the rental and resale liquidity typical of this strip. Overall, the property competes on layout and completeness rather than novelty; buyers prioritising energy performance or direct beach proximity will find the Torrevieja new-builds better aligned, while those prioritising bedroom count and solarium space per euro will find this unit's proposition harder to match in the immediate area.
