This semi-detached house stands in Playa Flamenca, a coastal district of Orihuela on the southern Costa Blanca, roughly four kilometres south of Torrevieja. The property offers two bedrooms and one bathroom across 88 m² of living space, completed in 1970 and now available key-ready. The asking price is fixed at €190,000. Distinctive features include a private solarium, an enclosed sunroom and views over the communal pool. Playa Cala La Mosca beach lies about 0.3 km away as the crow flies, with a wide range of shops, restaurants and services within two kilometres.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The house sits in an established urbanisation in Playa Flamenca, close to shops, the sea and local schools. The nearest beach, Playa Cala La Mosca, is roughly 0.3 km away in a straight line. Within two kilometres there are 52 restaurants, 17 cafés, 5 pharmacies and 7 banks, so daily errands can largely be done on foot or by a short drive.
With two bedrooms, one bathroom and 88 m² of living space, the property suits a household of two or a small family. The enclosed sunroom adds a flexible extra living area usable year-round, while the private solarium provides outdoor space with pool views. A utility room and a fully fitted kitchen support practical daily living, and the home is sold part furnished.
This is not a new-build project but an existing home, completed in 1970 and described as being in good condition and key-ready. That means no construction waiting period: purchase and handover can follow the standard timeline of an existing-property transaction. Any modernisation needs can be assessed directly during a viewing, which is advisable for a house of this age.
The property has one bathroom only, which limits suitability for larger households or guests. There is no mention of private parking, a private garden, air conditioning, heating or a lift in the available data. As a 1970 build, insulation and installations may not match current new-build standards. Buyers seeking a modern development with communal facilities beyond the pool should note these constraints.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A couple seeking a compact second home near the sea will find the walking distance to Playa Cala La Mosca and the low community fees practical for part-time residence. Buyers relocating permanently on a budget may value the year-round services of Playa Flamenca, including pharmacies, banks and supermarkets within two kilometres, combined with bus accessibility for trips to Torrevieja or Orihuela city. Owners who want outdoor space without garden maintenance can use the solarium and communal pool. The house also suits buyers who prioritise location and price over interior surface area: 88 m² with two bedrooms and one bathroom is modest, and larger families or those regularly hosting guests may find the single bathroom restrictive. Investors considering rental use should note the established tourism demand along this stretch of coast, alongside the realities of a 1970 construction that may require selective modernisation. Buyers expecting new-build energy performance, private parking or extensive communal facilities should look elsewhere. In short, the property addresses practical budgets and location-driven priorities rather than specification-driven ones.
The house dates from 1970 and is presented in good condition, fully key-ready. The kitchen is fully fitted with white cabinetry, as visible in the listing photographs, and the property is sold part furnished, which lowers the initial outlay for buyers planning immediate use. Finishing elements recorded in the listing include a covered terrace, a private terrace, a solarium and an enclosed sunroom with glass doors onto a planted patio, giving the home several distinct outdoor-indoor transition zones. A utility room adds storage and laundry capacity, a practical feature in a property of this size. For a 1970 build, the realistic expectation is that original construction methods and materials differ from current regulations: thermal insulation, window glazing and electrical installations may predate modern standards unless they have been updated, and the available data does not confirm any such upgrades. Heating and cooling systems are not listed, so buyers should verify what is present and budget accordingly, as summer temperatures averaging up to 26°C and cooler winter months at around 12°C make some form of climate control desirable. Overall, the finishing level appears consistent with a well-maintained older home rather than a renovated one, and a technical survey is a standard step in the purchase process for properties of this age. Condition claims should be verified during a viewing.
The property has a fixed asking price of €190,000. It is an existing, key-ready home, so there is no price list or phase-dependent variation as with new-build developments. Recurring costs are comparatively low: community fees of approximately €33 per month and annual property tax (IBI) of approximately €400, according to the seller's information. Compared with new-build apartments in Torrevieja starting from €160,000 to €169,000 and units at Oasis Laguna 2 in El Raso from €227,000, this house sits in the mid-range for the southern Costa Blanca, offering private outdoor space and a solarium in exchange for an older construction year.
Daily life around this house revolves around a compact, service-rich neighbourhood. Playa Flamenca functions as a year-round residential area with a strong seasonal influx, and the immediate vicinity offers supermarkets, bars and restaurants within walking distance. The weekly street market, a local fixture, sells everything from clothing and footwear to fresh vegetables. Mornings can begin on the enclosed sunroom, which works as a reading or breakfast space in cooler months, while the rooftop solarium offers open-air use for most of the year given the regional climate. The communal pool sits in view of the property and provides a swimming option without private maintenance obligations. The gradient towards the sea is moderate at about 4%, so the walk to Playa Cala La Mosca, just 300 metres as the crow flies, is manageable for most residents, though the actual route may be somewhat longer. With two bus-accessible roads nearby and 50 public transport stops in the area, the location does not strictly require a car for local trips, though a vehicle broadens access to golf courses and larger towns. Evenings tend to be quiet outside the summer months, when the population of the urbanisation visibly grows. The house itself is modest in scale: two bedrooms, one bathroom, a fitted kitchen and a utility room, laid out for straightforward living rather than entertaining on a large scale. For a retired couple, a small family or an owner seeking a low-maintenance base near the coast, the daily rhythm here is anchored on foot traffic, beach visits and local commerce.
Playa Flamenca forms part of the municipality of Orihuela, in the province of Alicante, positioned on the coast about four kilometres south of Torrevieja. The surroundings are dense with everyday amenities: within a two-kilometre radius there are 52 restaurants, 17 cafés, 5 pharmacies, 7 banks and 4 dental practices, which indicates a mature service infrastructure rather than a purely seasonal resort. The area is well served by public transport, with 9 lines and 50 stops, and the property is described as near transport. For recreation, several beaches lie within a kilometre, including Playa Cala La Mosca at 0.3 km, Cala Mosca at 0.6 km and Playa Cala Estaca at 0.9 km, all measured as the crow flies. Golfers can reach Club de Golf Villamartín at 3.3 km, with Real Club de Golf Campoamor and Las Ramblas de Orihuela each at about 5.1 km. Electric-vehicle owners have charging options at Ionity La Zenia, 1.8 km away. The setting is described as an urbanisation close to shops, sea, town, schools and the port, which suggests a built-up but residential character, busier in summer and quieter off-season.

Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Playa Flamenca occupies the southern coastal fringe of the Alicante province, within Orihuela municipality and just south of Torrevieja. This positions the property between two urban anchors: Torrevieja, a sizeable service town four kilometres north, and the historic city of Orihuela inland. The wider region includes Murcia at 36 km and Cartagena at 43 km, making the location effectively a node on the Costa Blanca, Costa Cálida boundary. Compared with Marbella-centred Costa del Sol markets, this stretch offers lower entry prices and a denser concentration of golf and beach amenities per kilometre, with Alicante airport around 41 km away as the crow flies.
The nearest beach, Playa Cala La Mosca, lies 0.3 km away in a straight line, with a moderate gradient of about 4% on the route towards the sea; actual walking distances will be somewhat longer than the direct figure. Torrevieja town centre is roughly four kilometres to the north. Regional cities are within reach for day trips or services: Murcia at 36 km, Elche at 37 km and Cartagena at 43 km, all straight-line distances. Alicante-Elche Airport (ALC) is approximately 41 km away as the crow flies, the most commonly used gateway for this part of the coast; Valencia airport lies about 174 km away and Málaga around 362 km. Locally, nine bus lines and fifty stops provide public transport coverage, and the property is described as accessible by an existing bus route, reducing car dependency for everyday trips. For drivers, the AP-7 corridor and coastal roads connect the area with Orihuela city, Torrevieja and the wider province, though traffic increases noticeably in July and August.

The climate data for this location shows an average annual temperature of 18.9°C, with monthly averages ranging from 12°C in winter to 26°C in summer, a pattern typical of the southern Costa Blanca. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts about five months, generally from late spring to early autumn. The elevation is low at 28 metres above sea level, and the terrain towards the beach slopes moderately at around 4%, which means minimal stair-climbing on foot routes to the coast but also little natural shade from elevation. The enclosed sunroom gains relevance here: it extends usable outdoor-feeling space into the cooler months, while the rooftop solarium exploits the long sunshine season. Rainfall is concentrated in autumn and winter, leaving dry, settled weather for most of the year, which favours outdoor living and low heating demand relative to northern Europe, though buyers should still verify what heating and cooling installations are present.

The coastline near the property consists of a series of small coves and beaches: Playa Cala La Mosca at 0.3 km, Cala Mosca at 0.6 km and Playa Cala Estaca at 0.9 km, all straight-line distances, giving residents a choice of swimming spots within a short walk. Two marinas sit within about five kilometres: Puerto Deportivo Miguel Caballero at 4.8 km and Real Club Náutico at 5.4 km, offering mooring, dining and waterfront activity. Golf is a strong feature of this stretch of coast, with three courses within roughly five kilometres: Club de Golf Villamartín (3.3 km), Real Club de Golf Campoamor (5.1 km) and Club de Golf Las Ramblas de Orihuela (5.1 km). For fitness, Snatch Fitness Center is 2.6 km away. The communal pool visible from the property adds a daily swimming option without maintenance responsibility, and the weekly market in Playa Flamenca provides a distinctly local shopping and social ritual.

Within its immediate market segment, this house competes primarily with new-build apartments in Torrevieja and El Raso. Apartments Palangre Beach in Torrevieja start from €160,000 and Edificio Sun & Center, also key-ready in Torrevieja, from €169,000; both offer newer construction and likely better energy performance, but typically less private outdoor space than a semi-detached house with a solarium and enclosed sunroom. At the upper end of the comparison set, Oasis Laguna 2 Phase II in Urbanización El Raso starts from €227,000, positioning itself as a more modern development in a quieter inland setting, roughly a 15-minute drive from the beaches that here lie within walking distance. The essential trade-off for buyers is age versus space: at €190,000 fixed, this property sits between the Torrevieja apartment price points and the El Raso development, offering a landed feel, two floors of flexibility and pool views, in exchange for 1970 construction standards and a single bathroom. Location-wise, Playa Flamenca is denser and more service-oriented than El Raso, with 52 restaurants and 17 cafés within two kilometres, and it is more immediately coastal. Compared with the wider region, prices per square metre on this stretch of the southern Costa Blanca remain below Marbella-centred Costa del Sol levels, while the concentration of golf courses, beaches and the Saturday-style street market gives the area a distinctly local, year-round character rather than a purely resort one. Buyers weighing this house against new-build alternatives should factor in potential modernisation costs for installations of this age, alongside the lower community fees of roughly €33 per month, which are materially below those of many newer developments with extensive communal facilities.
