This two-bedroom garden apartment is situated in the residential area of Ciudad Quesada, in the southern part of the Costa Blanca within the province of Alicante. The property measures 61 square metres and is offered key-ready at a fixed asking price of €135,000. It forms part of the established Residential Buenavista Golf VII community, which includes a communal swimming pool. The apartment has a gravelled front garden, a private sun terrace, a lounge-diner, an open-plan kitchen, one bathroom with a walk-in shower, and fitted wardrobes and air conditioning in both bedrooms. Parking is available in a shared residents' area on a private road.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Ciudad Quesada lies inland from the southern Costa Blanca coast, at roughly 69 metres above sea level. Elche is 22 km away as the crow flies, Alicante 38 km and Murcia 37 km. Alicante-Elche airport is approximately 27 km distant. Within two kilometres there are around 25 restaurants, two pharmacies, three banks and a cafe, which covers most daily needs without travelling further afield.
The layout is geared towards practical living: two double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, a single family bathroom with a walk-in shower, and an open-plan kitchen connected to the lounge-diner. Outdoor space consists of a gravelled front garden and a private terrace. For households needing more than one bathroom or substantial indoor storage, the 61 square metre floor area sets clear limits on what is possible.
This is not a new-build project but an existing, key-ready apartment in a community whose original construction dates from the 1970s according to the available records, with the present property described as having been maintained by its owners since it was built. Because it is completed and largely furnished, subject to offer, there is no construction phase or delivery risk; the buyer can move in shortly after completion of the purchase.
The property has one bathroom only, no private pool, and no private garage, parking is shared with other residents. At 61 square metres the living area is compact for a two-bedroom home. There is no lift, sea view or direct beach access mentioned in the data, and the beach and high street are described as a short drive away rather than within walking distance. Buyers relying on public transport should verify frequency locally.

This property fits several recognisable situations. A buyer seeking a low-maintenance holiday home on the Costa Blanca South will find the key-ready condition relevant: the apartment can be used immediately, with no renovation phase before the first stay. The communal pool covers the swimming need without private-pool maintenance costs. A couple or small household planning permanent residence will find the two double bedrooms, air conditioning and walking-distance-scale amenities workable, provided one bathroom is sufficient, a second bathroom is a common requirement that this property does not meet. Buyers prioritising outdoor space on a modest budget may value the gravelled garden and private terrace, features that are less common at this price point than a small balcony. Investors comparing against new-build alternatives can weigh the fixed €135,000 asking price against new-build starting prices of €160,000 and above in Torrevieja and El Raso, taking into account that this is a substantially older building. Households that need to be within walking distance of the beach, that require a lift, or that want a private garage should note that none of these apply here. Similarly, anyone dependent on public transport for daily commuting should test the nine listed lines in practice, as the area is organised around car use. In short, the property suits pragmatic buyers focused on usable space, immediate availability and total cost, rather than those seeking contemporary new-build specification.
The available information on materials and technique is limited to the seller's description, so statements here should be verified during a viewing. The apartment is described as having been maintained by its current owners since construction, and is presented in good condition. The bathroom is fitted with a walk-in shower rather than a bath, which is a practical choice for an older property. Both bedrooms have air conditioning units and fitted wardrobes. The kitchen is open-plan, described as practical with ample worktop space and storage. Flooring, window frames, insulation and electrical installations are not specified in the data; given the age of the community's original development, buyers are advised to inspect the condition of plumbing, wiring and glazing themselves or through a surveyor. The construction date recorded in the database is 1970 (indicative), while the listing text refers to the property having been maintained since it was built around 2004, this discrepancy is worth clarifying with the seller before purchase. Community facilities include the larger-than-average communal pool and its surrounding sunbathing areas, whose maintenance is presumably covered by community fees; the annual amount is not stated in the data and should be requested. Parking is shared among residents rather than allocated, which is a practical point to assess on site, particularly in summer when occupancy in the area rises. Overall, the finishing level appears consistent with a well-kept resale property rather than a renovated or new-build standard, and the asking price should be judged on that basis.
The apartment is offered at a fixed asking price of €135,000. This is an existing, completed property rather than a new-build development with a price list, so there is no range of unit types or prices within the project. For context, comparable new-build apartments in the wider area start higher: from €160,000 at Apartments Palangre Beach in Torrevieja, from €169,000 at Edificio Sun & Center, and from €227,000 at Oasis Laguna 2 in Urbanización El Raso. The property is offered mostly furnished, subject to offer, and is presented in good condition according to the seller's description. Availability is immediate in principle, with the standard Spanish purchase process applying from reservation to notarial completion.
Daily life in this apartment revolves around a straightforward indoor-outdoor rhythm. Mornings can start on the private sun terrace overlooking the front garden, with the gravelled garden beyond providing room for outdoor dining or simply sitting out in the sun. Indoors, the lounge-diner acts as the central space, with the open-plan kitchen alongside it, a layout that suits both everyday living and having guests over. Both bedrooms are doubles with fitted wardrobes and air conditioning, sharing the single family bathroom fitted with a walk-in shower. The communal pool is larger than average for this type of community and sits among generous sunbathing areas, giving residents a seasonal swimming option without the upkeep of a private pool. Ciudad Quesada itself is a residential town with an international population, developed from the 1970s onwards. The high street, described as a short drive away, carries the main concentration of shops, bars, restaurants, cafes and supermarkets. Within two kilometres of the property there are some 25 restaurants, two pharmacies, three banks and a dentist, so routine errands can mostly be done in the immediate area. The apartment sits on a private road with a shared residents' parking area, which provides off-street parking. A car is the practical mode of transport here: public transport exists, with nine lines and five stops listed, but the distances to golf courses, the marina and the larger cities make driving the norm. The climate supports this outdoor-oriented routine for much of the year, with monthly average temperatures ranging from 12 to 26°C and a swimming season of about five months with water at or above 20°C.
Ciudad Quesada functions as a self-contained residential town with a strong international community. The immediate surroundings within two kilometres include roughly 25 restaurants, two pharmacies, three banks, one cafe and a dentist, enough for day-to-day needs. The high street, a short drive from the apartment, concentrates the wider shopping and dining offer, including supermarkets. The town lies at about 69 metres elevation, on gently rolling terrain rather than steep hillsides, which makes walking and cycling locally realistic. Sports facilities are distributed within a few kilometres: Centro Deportivo La Raqueta at 3.4 km, the municipal Polideportivo El Molino at 3.5 km and Club de Taekwondo Draco Kwan at 5.0 km, all straight-line distances. Golf is a defining feature of the area, with Club de Golf La Finca 6.9 km away and Club de Golf Villamartín 14.9 km away. The Port Esportiu Marina de les Dunes sits 7.6 km away for mooring and waterfront leisure. Road distances will be longer than these straight-line figures, so travel times should be checked in practice. For larger urban services, Elche (22 km, some 235,000 inhabitants), Murcia (37 km, around 463,000) and Alicante (38 km, around 339,000) provide hospitals, universities, cultural institutions and full retail. Public transport consists of nine lines with five stops listed in the area, sufficient for occasional trips but not typically for a car-free lifestyle.

Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Ciudad Quesada occupies a mid-position between the coastal resorts of Torrevieja and Guardamar del Segura and the inland agricultural hinterland of the Alicante province. It is closer to Murcia (37 km) than to Alicante city (38 km), reflecting its orientation towards the southern Costa Blanca and the Murcia region. Within its own micro-market, it competes with residential areas such as Urbanización El Raso and the Torrevieja developments, generally offering lower price points than beachfront locations in exchange for a slightly inland position at modest elevation.
By car, the apartment connects to the regional road network serving the southern Costa Blanca. Alicante-Elche airport is approximately 27 km away as the crow flies, with road distance somewhat longer, convenient for international travel and rentals. Valencia airport lies about 159 km distant and Malaga-Costa del Sol about 369 km, making Alicante the practical gateway. The beach and coast are reachable in a short drive, as described in the listing, though no exact distance is stated. The two nearest golf courses are La Finca at 6.9 km and Villamartín at 14.9 km straight-line. Public transport is available, nine lines and five stops, but the residential layout and the distances involved mean most residents use a car for shopping, the beach and regional trips. Parking is provided through the shared residents' area on the private road, which avoids on-street parking pressure. Buyers intending to rent the property out should note that airport accessibility of roughly half an hour's drive is a practical plus for holiday letting.

The climate data points to a typical semi-arid Costa Blanca profile: an average annual temperature of 18.8°C, monthly averages between 12 and 26°C, and a swimming season of around five months during which sea water reaches at least 20°C. In practical terms, this means warm summers suitable for pool and beach use from late spring into autumn, and mild winters where heating needs are limited but air conditioning in summer is valuable, both bedrooms here have it. The elevation of 69 metres places the town slightly inland and above the coastal strip, generally translating to a bit more air movement and fewer sea-fog days than directly on the waterfront. The terrain in the area is gently undulating rather than mountainous. The nearby natural salt lakes mentioned in the listing text are a characteristic landscape feature of this part of the coast and contribute to the dry, sunny conditions the region is known for. Rainfall is low overall, concentrating in a limited number of autumn and spring days.

Recreational options around Ciudad Quesada are anchored by golf and beach life. Club de Golf La Finca, 6.9 km away as the crow flies, is one of the better-regarded courses in the southern Costa Blanca, and Club de Golf Villamartín at 14.9 km adds a second option within easy driving distance. The coast itself, with its sandy beaches of the Torrevieja and Guardamar stretch, is described as a short drive from the property; the Port Esportiu Marina de les Dunes at 7.6 km offers marina facilities and waterfront dining. The swimming season of about five months with water at or above 20°C runs roughly from late May into October. Closer to home, the community's own larger-than-average pool extends the swimming window without travel. For organised sport, Centro Deportivo La Raqueta (3.4 km) and Polideportivo municipal El Molino (3.5 km) cover racket sports and general training. An EV charging point, the Iberdrola Oasis Center, is 3.8 km away, relevant for electric-vehicle owners. Walking and cycling routes around the salt lakes and coastal pine areas round off the leisure offer.

Within its regional market, this apartment is positioned at the accessible end of the price spectrum. The fixed asking price of €135,000 compares with new-build starting prices of €160,000 at Apartments Palangre Beach in Torrevieja, €169,000 at Edificio Sun & Center (also key-ready but new construction) and €227,000 at Oasis Laguna 2 Phase II in Urbanización El Raso. The gap of €25,000 to €90,000 against these comparables reflects three factors: age, specification and location within the local hierarchy. The Ciudad Quesada property is a resale apartment in a community originally developed decades ago, whereas the comparables are newly built with contemporary insulation, fittings and, in some cases, more generous communal facilities. Locationally, Ciudad Quesada sits slightly inland; Torrevieja comparables are closer to the beachfront, and El Raso is a neighbouring residential zone of similar character. What the Quesada property offers in return is immediate availability, there is no construction phase or phased delivery, plus outdoor space in the form of a private garden and terrace, which entry-level new-build apartments in this price band often lack. For buyers weighing total cost of ownership, community fees on an older development may differ from those of new-build complexes with pools, gyms and landscaped grounds; the annual figure is not stated here and should be requested. The wider regional context supports demand: Elche (22 km), Murcia (37 km) and Alicante (38 km) together form a substantial economic hinterland, and Alicante-Elche airport at roughly 27 km straight-line keeps the property within practical reach of European flight connections. Median income in the province of €15,750 indicates that local purchasing power is modest, meaning international buyers set much of the price level in this segment. In short, this property competes on price and readiness rather than on novelty, and the comparison with new-build alternatives makes that trade-off explicit.
