This ground-floor apartment is situated in the La Marquesa area of Ciudad Quesada, in the south of the Alicante province on the Costa Blanca. The property offers two bedrooms, one bathroom and 53 m² of living space, with a covered terrace, a private tiled garden area and a parking space on the plot. Built in 1970 and recently repainted, the apartment is key-ready and has a fixed asking price of €145,000. The surrounding neighbourhood provides everyday amenities within two kilometres, including restaurants, pharmacies and banks, while the beaches of the coast are a short drive away.
Within the southern Costa Blanca market, this apartment occupies the accessible entry segment. Comparable new-build projects nearby illustrate the price ladder: Palangre Beach apartments in Torrevieja start from €160,000, Sun & Center in Torrevieja from €169,000, and Oasis Laguna 2 Phase II in El Raso from €227,000. Against these, the fixed €145,000 asking price for this 53 m² resale unit represents a discount of at least €15,000 to the cheapest new-build alternative, and considerably more against larger-format projects, in exchange for a 1970 construction date and older building standards. Location-wise, Ciudad Quesada sits in the same international residential belt as Torrevieja and the Rojales urbanisations, but inland and slightly elevated at 69 metres, which generally lowers prices relative to beachfront postcodes while keeping the Guardamar beaches within a short drive. Golf proximity is a genuine differentiator here: La Marquesa Golf within walking distance and La Finca Golf at 6.9 km compare well with the region's offer. Connectivity is a further strength, Alicante-Elche Airport at roughly 27 km straight-line, Elche at 22 km and Murcia at 37 km place the property centrally between two provincial economies. Climatically, the area shares the southern Costa Blanca profile: 12–26°C monthly averages and a five-month swimming season, marginally warmer inland than directly on the coast. The trade-off compared with new-build comparables is threefold: dated construction requiring eventual maintenance investment, communal rather than private pool facilities, and a modest 53 m² footprint. For buyers prioritising budget and location over contemporary specifications, the equation is straightforward; for those wanting new construction guarantees, modern insulation and developer warranties, the Torrevieja and El Raso alternatives at higher entry prices are the relevant comparison points.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment lies in La Marquesa, a residential district of Ciudad Quesada at roughly 69 metres above sea level and a few kilometres inland from the coast. Elche is 22 km away as the crow flies, Alicante 38 km and Murcia 37 km. Alicante-Elche Airport sits approximately 27 km in a straight line, making arrival and departure straightforward for regular visitors.
The layout serves practical living: two bedrooms, a renovated bathroom with walk-in shower, an open-plan kitchen and a living room with central air conditioning. The covered terrace and east orientation provide morning and midday sun, while the private garden area and storage cupboard add usable outdoor and practical space. A communal swimming pool is located further down the street.
This is not a new-build project. The apartment dates from 1970 and has been refreshed with a new coat of paint, with the bathroom renovated at an earlier stage. It is key-ready, meaning it can be occupied directly after purchase. Construction status and completion dates are indicative; the building age should be factored into maintenance expectations.
The property offers 53 m² of living space with two bedrooms and a single bathroom, which sets limits on household size and privacy. There is no private pool; swimming facilities are communal and shared with other residents. No lift, garage enclosure or energy-performance documentation is stated in the available data. Buyers relying on public transport should verify current timetables against their own needs.
This apartment suits several recognisable situations. A retired or semi-retired couple seeking a compact second home on the Costa Blanca would find the two bedrooms, single bathroom and manageable 53 m² footprint sufficient for seasonal stays, with the covered terrace and private garden extending living space outdoors. A buyer operating on a strict budget, for instance €150,000 or below, gains access to a property with parking, storage and a communal pool at a price point where new-build alternatives in the same region typically start €15,000 to €80,000 higher. Someone seeking a rental investment may also consider it: the La Marquesa area attracts international tenants and holidaymakers, and golf courses lie within a short drive, though rental yields should be calculated against actual local rates rather than assumptions. The property fits less well for larger households needing more than two bedrooms or a second bathroom, or for buyers who require contemporary energy standards and a lift. Buyers intending to live car-free should test the bus connections carefully, as the beaches and larger shopping facilities are more easily reached by car. For hands-on owners comfortable with an older building and the maintenance realities that entails, plumbing, electrics and communal upkeep of a 1970s complex, the fixed asking price and key-ready condition shorten the path from purchase to occupation considerably.
The available documentation describes a recently refreshed interior: the apartment has been repainted, and the bathroom has been renovated with a modern walk-in shower. The kitchen is open-plan with a practical layout, and the listing notes the property is presented in good condition. Air conditioning is centrally positioned, cooling the main living areas rather than individual rooms only. Beyond these points, the technical picture remains limited. The building dates from 1970, which places it more than five decades before current construction standards; insulation values, window glazing type, electrical installation condition and heating provisions are not stated in the data. Practical consequences follow from this age: energy performance will likely differ from modern new-builds, and buyers should budget for periodic upgrades over time. The outdoor finishes are documented more concretely: a covered terrace, a tiled garden area requiring minimal upkeep, an awning over the patio seating area and a storage cupboard in the garden. The property is sold part-furnished, which reduces immediate furnishing costs but means an inventory review is advisable before completion. A private parking space on the plot is included, an asset in a neighbourhood where on-street parking pressure can rise in summer. Images show a functional interior with a bunk-bed room and wardrobe, an open-plan living room with sofa, a bathroom with washing machine and sink, and a sunny patio with awning and seating. Overall, the finishing level reads as maintained and usable rather than newly built; a technical survey is the appropriate instrument for verifying the building's condition prior to purchase.
The asking price is fixed at €145,000 for the complete apartment, this is an existing resale property, not a new-build development with a price list. At 53 m² of living space, the price works out to roughly €2,740 per square metre. As a reference within the wider region, new-build apartments in Torrevieja start from around €160,000 (Palangre Beach) and €169,000 (Sun & Center), while Oasis Laguna 2 in nearby El Raso starts from €227,000. This positions the property at the accessible end of the local market, with the trade-off being a 1970 construction date rather than contemporary specifications. Availability is immediate, as the apartment is key-ready and recently repainted. Price and availability details are indicative and subject to confirmation with the seller.
Daily life in this apartment revolves around a compact, low-maintenance base in an established residential neighbourhood. The living room opens onto a covered terrace facing east, so mornings receive direct sun while afternoons remain shaded, a practical pattern in a region where summer temperatures average up to 26°C. The open-plan kitchen adjoins the living area, keeping the 53 m² layout efficient rather than compartmentalised. The tiled garden area extends the usable space outdoors and includes a storage cupboard for bicycles, beach gear or garden furniture, with a private parking space on the plot. The neighbourhood itself functions year-round. Within two kilometres there are some 25 restaurants, two pharmacies, three banks, a café and a dentist, so most daily errands are within walking or short driving distance. A communal swimming pool further down the street covers seasonal cooling needs during the roughly five-month swimming season, when sea and pool water stays at or above 20°C. Nine public transport lines and five stops serve the wider area, although a car remains the more practical choice for reaching the beaches of Guardamar del Segura, the golf courses or the regional cities. The area sits at low elevation with gently rolling terrain, which makes walking and cycling feasible for most residents; walking and cycling routes are present in the surroundings. Outside the summer months the neighbourhood quiets down, as is typical for Costa Blanca residential zones with a strong international community. For a buyer seeking a modest, manageable property with outdoor space and proximity to services, the dwelling answers those needs without surplus volume.
The immediate surroundings combine residential calm with practical density. Within a two-kilometre radius, residents can reach roughly 25 restaurants, two pharmacies, three banks, a café and a dentist, a level of daily provision that covers groceries, medical basics and eating out without leaving the neighbourhood. Sports facilities are equally close: Centro Deportivo La Raqueta lies 3.4 km away as the crow flies and the municipal Polideportivo El Molino 3.5 km, with a taekwondo club at 5 km. Golfers have Club de Golf La Finca at 6.9 km straight-line and Club de Golf Villamartín at 14.9 km. An electric-vehicle charging point at the Iberdrola Oasis Center sits 3.8 km away, relevant for owners of EVs. The marina Port Esportiu Marina de les Dunes, 7.6 km as the crow flies, offers a coastal leisure option. Public transport consists of nine lines with five stops in the area, sufficient for occasional trips but most residents will find a car more practical, particularly for beach visits and airport runs, Alicante-Elche Airport is approximately 27 km straight-line away, typically well under an hour by road. Terrain is gentle at 69 metres elevation, so walking and cycling through the neighbourhood are comfortable, and the listing mentions walking and cycling routes in the vicinity. Seasonally, the area is busiest in summer; outside those months the rhythm slows noticeably, which suits residents seeking quiet off-peak periods.
The map shows the apartment's position within La Marquesa, Ciudad Quesada, an inland residential area at low elevation, minutes by car from the beaches of Guardamar del Segura. Nearby markers include golf courses, sports centres and the coastal marina. The Mediterranean lifestyle of the southern Costa Blanca is concentrated here within a compact radius of services.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Ciudad Quesada occupies a position in the southern Costa Blanca, inland of Guardamar del Segura and between the two provincial anchors of Alicante (38 km straight-line) and Murcia (37 km). Elche, with around 235,000 inhabitants, lies 22 km away. This placement gives the area a dual character: quiet residential streets oriented towards golf and leisure, with urban services and an international airport within easy reach. Within the local hierarchy, Quesada sits alongside Torrevieja and the urbanisations of Rojales as one of the established international residential zones south of Alicante, typically more affordable than coastal-front locations while remaining close to the beaches.
Distances below are straight-line (as the crow flies); actual road distances are longer. The beach is not quantified in the data, though the sandy beaches of Guardamar del Segura are described as minutes away by car. Golf: Club de Golf La Finca at 6.9 km and Club de Golf Villamartín at 14.9 km. Marina: Port Esportiu Marina de les Dunes at 7.6 km. Regional cities: Elche at 22 km, Murcia at 37 km and Alicante at 38 km. Airports: Alicante-Elche (ALC) roughly 27 km, the most convenient gateway, Valencia (VLC) at about 159 km and Málaga-Costa del Sol (AGP) at about 369 km. Public transport in the area covers nine lines and five stops, giving a basic bus network for local travel. By car, the AP-7 and N-332 corridors of the southern Costa Blanca connect the area efficiently, and the property includes a private parking space on the plot. For everyday needs, all listed amenities, restaurants, pharmacies, banks, sit within two kilometres. A car remains the primary means of transport for most residents here, particularly outside the summer season.

The climate data points to a typical southern Costa Blanca profile: average monthly temperatures range from 12°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer, with an annual average of 18.8°C. This places the area among Spain's milder coastal zones, where frost is rare and summer heat is moderated by sea proximity, though the inland position at 69 metres elevation means slightly less maritime cooling than directly on the waterfront. The swimming season lasts approximately five months, during which water temperatures hold at or above 20°C, typically May or June through September or October. The east-facing terrace aligns well with this climate: it captures morning sun and avoids the most intense late-afternoon heat, making the covered terrace usable across a wide part of the year. Rainfall data is not specified in the available figures, but the region generally records low annual precipitation concentrated in autumn. The immediate landscape is residential and gently rolling rather than mountainous, so walks and cycles involve no serious gradients. For buyers accustomed to northern European conditions, the practical difference is substantial: outdoor living on the terrace and in the tiled garden is feasible for most of the year rather than a few summer weeks.

Coastal recreation within reach of the apartment is varied. The sandy beaches of Guardamar del Segura are described as minutes away by car, offering the main seaside option; the data does not specify Blue Flag status for individual beaches, so this should be verified separately. For boat-oriented leisure, Port Esportiu Marina de les Dunes lies 7.6 km away as the crow flies. Golf forms a second recreational pillar: La Marquesa Golf is within walking distance according to the listing, while Club de Golf La Finca (6.9 km) and Club de Golf Villamartín (14.9 km) broaden the choice of courses within a quarter-hour drive. Land sports are served by Centro Deportivo La Raqueta at 3.4 km and the municipal Polideportivo El Molino at 3.5 km, with a taekwondo club at 5 km. Closer to home, the communal pool further down the street covers daily swimming needs during the roughly five-month warm season, and the listing mentions walking and cycling routes in the surroundings. The terrace and private garden provide private outdoor space for dining and relaxation, as visible in the patio photographs with awning and seating. The density of restaurants, around 25 within two kilometres, adds a social dimension to recreation, ranging from local Spanish kitchens to international venues serving the resident community.
