This two-bedroom townhouse with two bathrooms stands in a gated community in Playa Flamenca, on the Orihuela Costa in the province of Alicante. The property has a living area of 67 square metres arranged over two levels, with an additional upstairs room converted from the original layout that can serve as a third bedroom, office or guest room. Built in 1970 and offered key-ready, it includes air conditioning, off-road parking and access to a communal swimming pool. The asking price is fixed at €219,500. Beaches, a supermarket and a pharmacy are all within walking distance, measured in a few hundred metres as the crow flies.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Playa Flamenca lies on the Orihuela Costa, roughly four kilometres south of Torrevieja in the municipality of Orihuela. The house sits in a built-up coastal area where a supermarket is 240 metres away and a pharmacy 180 metres, both in straight-line terms. The nearest beach, Cala Estaca, is about 283 metres as the crow flies, with Cala Mosca and Cala Cerrada within roughly 450 metres.
The property suits buyers seeking a compact, ready-to-occupy home near the sea. The converted upstairs room adds flexibility for guests, remote work or letting. Air conditioning is installed, and the gated community provides off-road parking plus a shared pool. Daily needs, shops, pharmacies, cafés and restaurants, are reachable on foot or by bicycle.
This is not a new-build project. The townhouse dates from 1970 and is available immediately as an existing home with a fixed asking price. No delivery schedule applies; completion follows the standard purchase process. Buyers should factor the building's age into renovation and maintenance planning.
The house offers 67 square metres of living space across two levels, which limits room sizes compared with larger modern builds. Parking is an open off-road space rather than a closed garage. The communal pool is shared with other residents. The property stands roughly 41 kilometres from Alicante-Elche airport, straight-line, so airport transfers take noticeably longer than in areas closer to a terminal.
Several buyer profiles align with what this property offers. A buyer seeking a low-maintenance second home within walking distance of the sea will find the compact layout and gated community practical: lock up, leave, and return without exterior upkeep obligations beyond communal fees. A buyer planning partial relocation or permanent residence benefits from the year-round services, supermarket, pharmacy, medical facilities, banks and public transport, that keep functioning outside the tourist season. A buyer who works remotely can use the converted upstairs room as an office, with cafés and amenities nearby for the working week. A buyer looking at rental income may find the third sleeping space, the pool and the beach proximity relevant to holiday-let demand in the Orihuela Costa market. In each case, the buyer accepts a 1970 construction with 67 square metres of living area. That makes the property less suitable for households needing generous interior space, a private garden or a private pool. Buyers who prioritise a modern thermal envelope, larger rooms or enclosed garage parking should look at newer developments. Conversely, buyers who value location and walkability over interior scale have here one of the more competitive entry points into a gated setting this close to the coast at a fixed price point of €219,500.
The property dates from 1970, which places it among the earlier phases of development on the Orihuela Costa. For a house of this age, the technical assessment focuses on a few verifiable elements. The dwelling has been reconfigured internally: the original two-bedroom, two-bathroom layout has been adapted to create an additional upstairs room, which indicates interior works have taken place, though the scope and permits of that conversion are matters for the buyer's legal due diligence. Air conditioning is present, providing active climate control for the hot months. Photographs show a patio with dining furniture at the rear, a front elevation with palm trees, a bedroom with window views and a bathroom fitted with a toilet, bidet and washing machine connection, the latter meaning laundry can be handled inside the property. The kitchen and living areas follow a conventional Spanish layout of this period. Buyers should expect construction standards of the era: solid masonry walls, moderate ceiling heights and an electrical and plumbing installation whose condition depends on past renovations, none of which is specified in the available data. No energy performance certificate details are provided here. The communal elements, the pool and the shared areas of the gated community, are described as maintained, and community fees will apply. Structural condition, damp status and the state of the roof and façade should be verified through an independent survey, standard practice for a property over fifty years old. The off-road parking is an open space within the community, not a garage.
The asking price is fixed at €219,500. This is an existing, key-ready home rather than a new-build price list, so there is no range of unit types or from-price structure. The price reflects the property's configuration: two original bedrooms with two bathrooms, a converted additional upstairs room, 67 square metres of living area, air conditioning, off-road parking and communal pool access within a gated community. Compared with nearby new-build apartments in Torrevieja starting from €160,000 to €169,000, this property carries a premium attributable to its layout, its gated setting and its proximity to the beach.
Living here means a genuinely walkable coastal routine. The front-door radius covers a supermarket at 240 metres, a pharmacy at 180 metres and a beach at under 300 metres, all measured as the crow flies. Playa Flamenca sits in a dense, established urban fabric: within two kilometres the area counts over fifty restaurants, seventeen cafés, five pharmacies and seven banks, so daily errands rarely require a car. The rhythm of the neighbourhood is practical rather than resort-like. Mornings can start with a short walk down to Cala Estaca or Cala Mosca, both small coves rather than long sandy stretches, which keeps them quieter outside peak summer weekends. The Saturday market in Playa Flamenca adds a weekly fixture for fresh produce and household goods. La Zenia Boulevard, one of the larger shopping centres on this coast, is close enough to reach on foot for most residents. The communal pool provides an alternative to the beach, useful in the shoulder months when sea water drops below twenty degrees. With an average annual temperature of 18.9 degrees and a swimming season of about five months, outdoor living dominates most of the calendar. Outside the summer period the area becomes quieter, as is typical for the Orihuela Costa, though the permanent population keeps core services open year-round. The converted third room upstairs allows the household to adapt: a home office outside the holiday season, an extra bedroom when family visits, or additional letting capacity for owners who rent the property out. Public transport covers the area with nine lines and fifty stops, giving car-free access to Torrevieja and surrounding towns.
The surroundings are urban and service-dense. Within a two-kilometre radius, the area intelligence lists 52 restaurants, 17 cafés, 5 pharmacies, 7 banks and 4 dentists, which signals a neighbourhood that operates year-round rather than seasonally. The nearest supermarket is 240 metres away and the pharmacy 180 metres, both straight-line distances of under a three-minute walk in practice. The beach network is unusually close: Playa Cala Estaca at 283 metres, Cala Mosca at 393 metres and Playa Cala Cerrada at 450 metres, measured as the crow flies, with a moderate 4% gradient down to the shore, meaning no steep climb back from a swim. For larger trips, La Zenia Boulevard shopping centre is within walking distance. Healthcare runs from local clinics to a hospital at 9.7 kilometres straight-line. Electric-vehicle owners have a charging point 409 metres away, with further fast-charging options at La Zenia (1.8 km). Public transport covers the area with nine lines and fifty stops, connecting to Torrevieja and other coastal towns, so a car is convenient but not strictly necessary for daily life.

Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Playa Flamenca occupies a position on the Orihuela Costa, the coastal band of the municipality of Orihuela, roughly four kilometres south of Torrevieja in Alicante province. Within the regional hierarchy it sits between the larger urban centre of Torrevieja and the golf-and-urbanisation belt of Villamartín and Campoamor. The location combines direct beach access with proximity to the shopping infrastructure of La Zenia. Relative to the wider Costa Blanca and Costa del Sol, it is a mid-priced, service-rich coastal zone oriented to both tourism and permanent residents, about 41 kilometres straight-line from Alicante-Elche airport.
Beaches are the strongest accessibility feature: three coves within roughly 450 metres straight-line, with Cala La Mosca the closest at about 300 metres. Golf is a short drive away, with Villamartín at 3.3 km, Las Ramblas de Orihuela at 4.6 km and Real Club de Golf Campoamor at 4.8 km as the crow flies. Two marinas, Puerto Deportivo Miguel Caballero (4.8 km) and Real Club Náutico (5.4 km), serve boating interests. The main transport consideration is the airport: Alicante-Elche (ALC) lies roughly 41 kilometres away in a straight line, so actual road distance and driving time are longer, a factor for frequent flyers. Valencia airport is about 174 km and Málaga about 362 km straight-line, realistic only for secondary routing. Torrevieja town centre is approximately four kilometres north. By car, the AP-7 and N-332 corridor connects the Orihuela Costa with the wider region, and the bus network provides an alternative for those who prefer not to drive.

The climate data points to a typical southern Costa Blanca profile: average monthly temperatures ranging from 12 to 26 degrees, an annual average of 18.9 degrees and roughly 320 days of sunshine implied by the Mediterranean coastal setting. The swimming season lasts about five months, the period during which sea water holds at or above twenty degrees, roughly late May to mid-October. The site sits at a low 28 metres above sea level with a moderate 4% gradient toward the beach, so terrain is easy on foot and by bicycle. Rainfall concentrates in a small number of autumn and spring days, and outdoor living on the patio remains practical for most of the year. The climate suits both holiday use and permanent residence, with air conditioning covering the hottest weeks of July and August.

The immediate coastline consists of a series of small coves rather than one long beach. Playa Cala Estaca (283 m), Cala Mosca (393 m) and Playa Cala Cerrada (450 m), all straight-line from the property, offer swimming and snorkelling in sheltered water. Cala La Mosca lies about 300 metres away. These coves tend to be less crowded than the broad urban beaches of Torrevieja, though summer weekends still draw local visitors. Beyond the shore, recreation includes three golf courses within five kilometres, Villamartín, Las Ramblas de Orihuela and Campoamor, which together form one of the densest golf clusters on this coast. Two marinas at 4.8 and 5.4 kilometres cater to sailing and water sports. A gym, Snatch Fitness Center, operates 2.6 kilometres away. The communal pool in the gated community adds a daily swimming option without leaving the complex, and the Saturday market provides a weekly social and shopping outing.

Within its segment, this townhouse competes with both new-build apartments and resales along the Torrevieja, Orihuela Costa corridor. The closest new-build comparables are Apartments Palangre Beach in Torrevieja (from €160,000), Edificio Sun & Center, key-ready, also in Torrevieja (from €169,000) and Oasis Laguna 2 Phase II in Urbanización El Raso (from €227,000). Against the two Torrevieja apartment projects, this property commands roughly €50,000 more at its fixed €219,500 asking price, a difference explained by its gated-community setting, the presence of a communal pool and off-road parking, and, most significantly, its beach proximity, with coves under 300 metres away as the crow flies versus the typically more inland positions of entry-level new-build apartments. The comparison with Oasis Laguna 2 runs in the opposite direction: El Raso sits slightly inland near Guardamar, and its €227,000 starting price reflects newer construction standards and modern energy performance that a 1970 property cannot match without renovation. Buyers weighing these options are effectively trading interior modernity and floor-plan efficiency against location. Playa Flamenca itself occupies a middle position within the Orihuela Costa: more urban and service-dense than the golf urbanisations of Villamartín and Campoamor, yet with smaller cove beaches rather than the wide sands of central Torrevieja. The Saturday market and the year-round commercial base distinguish the neighbourhood from purely seasonal resorts. For the regional market as a whole, a key-ready resale under €220,000 within a gated complex this close to the shoreline represents a diminishing category, as newer supply on this coast concentrates in apartment blocks set further from the water. Median provincial income of €15,750 provides context for local purchasing power, which supports steady demand for mid-priced resale stock from both domestic and international buyers. Airport access, at roughly 41 kilometres straight-line from Alicante-Elche, is average for the southern Costa Blanca.
