This key-ready duplex is situated in Ciudad Quesada, in the Rojales municipality of the southern Costa Blanca. The property offers 161 m² of living space across two levels, with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a private solarium and a fully furnished interior. Built in 1970 and offered at a fixed asking price of €184,000, the home sits in an established residential area with restaurants, pharmacies and banks within two kilometres, and the beaches of the coast a short drive away.
Within the immediate market, this duplex competes with new-build apartment projects in Torrevieja and the surrounding urbanisations. Apartments Palangre Beach in Torrevieja starts from €160,000 and Edificio Sun & Center, also key-ready in Torrevieja, from €169,000, both below or near this property's fixed price of €184,000, but as new-build units they typically offer smaller surfaces than the 161 m² available here. On a price-per-square-metre basis, this duplex at roughly €1,143/m² undercuts most new construction on the southern Costa Blanca, where new-build pricing commonly lands between €2,000 and €3,000 per square metre. The trade-off is age: a 1970 building does not carry current insulation, energy or construction standards, and buyers should budget for possible modernisation. Further out, Oasis Laguna 2 Phase II in the El Raso urbanisation starts from €227,000, positioning itself above this property in both price and specification. What this duplex offers that the new-build alternatives do not is volume and flexibility: two full floors, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a solarium, and an upper level with documented conversion potential into a separate unit, a feature that investors weighing rental scenarios may weigh against the advantages of new construction. Location-wise, Ciudad Quesada sits slightly inland relative to Torrevieja's beachfront projects, which means quieter streets and lower density but a car-dependent relationship with the beach. For buyers weighing the Costa del Sol against the Costa Blanca, this region offers lower entry prices, a similar climate profile with an 18.8 °C annual average, and Alicante-Elche Airport at 27 km straight-line distance, closer than many Costa del Sol locations sit to Málaga Airport.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Ciudad Quesada is an established residential town within the municipality of Rojales, in the south of the province of Alicante. The location combines everyday amenities within walking and cycling distance with good road connections towards Torrevieja, Guardamar del Segura and the AP-7 corridor. Elche lies 22 km away as the crow flies, Alicante 38 km, and the airport approximately 27 km in a straight line.
The duplex offers 161 m² of usable space arranged over two floors. The main level contains the living-dining room, an independent kitchen with pantry and laundry area, two bedrooms and a bathroom. The upper floor holds a further bedroom with bathroom, a multifunctional space and a private solarium, giving room for a household that needs separate zones or a work-from-home area.
This is not a new-build development. The property dates from 1970 and is available immediately as an existing home with a fixed asking price of €184,000. The upper floor includes a leisure area and a bedroom with its own bathroom, with the option of converting the level into a separate living unit, subject to the usual permissions. Completion dates are not applicable here.
The property is a first-floor duplex without a private garden or swimming pool, and no parking space is listed in the available data. Built in 1970, the construction predates current building standards; heating is provided by a fireplace rather than central heating. Buyers should verify the legal feasibility of converting the upper floor into an independent unit with the local authorities.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A household of three to five people needing three bedrooms and two bathrooms will find the two-level layout workable, particularly as the upper floor can serve teenagers, guests or extended family with a degree of independence. Buyers seeking a second home on the Costa Blanca with immediate availability benefit from the key-ready status and full furnishing, which removes the usual furnishing project after purchase. Those working remotely can use the upper-floor leisure area as an office, with the solarium as an outdoor extension in the warmer months. Investors may find the layout relevant for rental use: the documented option to convert the upper floor into a separate unit could, subject to permissions, enable dual occupancy or a higher rental yield than a single unit would generate. The property is less suited to buyers who want a private pool or garden on their own plot, or who require a dedicated parking space included with the home; neither is listed in the available data. Buyers preferring modern construction standards, contemporary insulation and energy performance should also factor in that the building dates from 1970 and may require updating. Finally, those who want to live entirely without a car will find most daily amenities within reach, though beach trips and airport transfers are easier with a vehicle.
The interior reflects the character of a 1970s building that has been maintained and updated over time. The entrance hall and living-dining room are described as large and bright, suggesting generous proportions and window surfaces typical of the period. The independent kitchen includes a pantry and a separate utility room, a practical arrangement that separates household work zones from the living areas. Bedrooms are furnished with wooden furniture and fitted wardrobes, and the property is sold fully furnished, which is reflected in the asking price. Technical features listed include climate control and a fireplace. The fireplace provides supplementary heating for the mild winter months, while the climate control unit covers cooling in summer; buyers should inspect the age and condition of both systems during a viewing. The solarium is finished with tiled flooring and planters, giving a low-maintenance outdoor surface with views over the surrounding town. No information is available on the age of the roof, electrical installation or plumbing, and given the construction year these are standard inspection points. The storage room adds practical capacity for seasonal items. Buyers comparing this property with new-build alternatives should note that a 1970s structure typically has solid construction but lower default insulation values than current regulations require, which affects both comfort and running costs.
The property is offered as an existing home at a fixed asking price of €184,000. This is not a 'from' price from a developer price list; the amount applies to this specific duplex in its current, fully furnished condition. At 161 m² of living space, the asking price works out at approximately €1,143 per square metre. For context, comparable new-build apartments in Torrevieja start from €160,000 to €169,000 with smaller footprints, while new developments in the nearby El Raso urbanisation start from €227,000. The property is key-ready, so no waiting period or construction-phase payments apply. Purchase costs, notary fees and taxes are additional to the asking price.
Daily life in this duplex revolves around a practical two-level layout. The entrance hall opens into a bright living-dining room, with the independent kitchen alongside it, including a pantry and separate laundry area, a configuration that suits households that cook regularly and value closed kitchens. Two bedrooms and a full bathroom sit on this level, with a balcony providing outdoor space on the street side. A staircase leads to the upper floor, which functions as a semi-independent zone: a leisure area with a pool table, a bedroom and a second bathroom. The private solarium on top extends the usable outdoor area and, given the regional climate, can serve as a dining or sunbathing spot for much of the year. Ciudad Quesada itself is a year-round residential community rather than a seasonal resort. Within two kilometres there are some 25 restaurants, two pharmacies, three banks, a cafe and a dentist, which covers most daily needs without a car. The town has an international population profile typical of the southern Costa Blanca, with services oriented towards both permanent residents and holiday homeowners. The elevated position of Quesada, at roughly 69 metres above sea level, means the centre sits slightly above the surrounding plain, while the beaches of Guardamar remain reachable within a short drive. The rhythm of life here is generally quiet, with activity concentrated around the commercial streets and the Saturday market.
Ciudad Quesada functions as a self-contained residential town on the southern Costa Blanca. The immediate amenity base within two kilometres, 25 restaurants, two pharmacies, three banks, a cafe and a dentist, covers daily needs without leaving the town. For sport, the Centro Deportivo La Raqueta lies 3.4 km away and the municipal Polideportivo El Molino 3.5 km, both as the crow flies. An Iberdrola electric vehicle charging point is available at the Oasis Center, 3.8 km away, which is relevant for EV owners. Golfers can reach Club de Golf La Finca at 6.9 km and Club de Golf Villamartín at 14.9 km straight-line distance. The marina at Marina de les Dunes is 7.6 km away, providing access to the coast. Public transport consists of nine lines serving five stops in the area, which makes local travel possible but is geared more towards regional connections than high-frequency urban service. Larger cities are within practical reach: Elche with roughly 235,000 inhabitants is 22 km away as the crow flies, Murcia 37 km and Alicante 38 km. For everyday life this means the quietness of a residential town combined with the option of city amenities, hospitals and shopping within a half-hour to forty-minute drive.
The map shows Ciudad Quesada's position between the coastal strip and the interior of the southern Costa Blanca. Note that all distances shown are straight-line measurements; actual road distances are longer.

Ciudad Quesada occupies a middle position on the southern Costa Blanca: inland of the beach towns but close enough to reach the coast by car in minutes. Torrevieja and Guardamar del Segura form the coastal anchors, while Elche (22 km), Murcia (37 km) and Alicante (38 km), all measured in a straight line, provide urban scale, hospitals and airports. Within the immediate region, Quesada is more residential and quieter than Torrevieja, with a strong permanent international community, and sits among the golf courses of the Orihuela Costa and Algorfa belt.
Alicante-Elche Airport (ALC) lies approximately 27 km away in a straight line, which typically translates into a drive of around thirty minutes; this is the most relevant airport for regular international travel. Valencia Airport is 159 km away as the crow flies and Málaga-Costa del Sol 369 km, making them alternatives rather than routine options. Beach access requires a car or bus: the property sits inland of the coastal strip at about 69 metres elevation, and the nearest marina is 7.6 km away in a direct line, with the sandy beaches of Guardamar del Segura in that same direction. By car, the town connects to the N-332 coastal road and the AP-7 motorway, giving access to Torrevieja, Alicante and Murcia. Public transport exists, nine lines and five stops, but frequency is limited, so a car is the practical standard for most residents, particularly for shopping, beach visits and airport runs. Within the town itself, distances to shops and restaurants are short enough for walking.

The regional climate is Mediterranean with an average annual temperature of 18.8 °C and monthly averages ranging from 12 °C in the coolest months to 26 °C in summer. For residents this means mild winters where the fireplace provides adequate supplementary heating, and warm summers where the climate control system carries the peak months. The sea swimming season lasts around five months, with water temperatures at or above 20 °C, roughly from late May into October. The town sits at 69 metres above sea level on a gentle rise above the coastal plain, which means the area is effectively flat to walk and cycle, without the steep slopes found in hillside urbanisations further along the coast. The southern Costa Blanca is one of the driest and sunniest corners of Spain, and the combination of low rainfall and consistent sunshine is the main reason international buyers settle here. The climate data supports year-round outdoor use of the solarium, although summer afternoons on an unshaded roof terrace call for shading or timing.

The coast near Quesada is characterised by the wide sandy beaches of Guardamar del Segura and the beaches south towards Torrevieja, reachable within a short drive. The marina at Marina de les Dunes, 7.6 km away as the crow flies, marks the nearest direct access point to the waterfront and offers mooring-related facilities. Golf is a defining feature of this stretch of coast: Club de Golf La Finca at 6.9 km straight-line is an 18-hole course set in the surrounding countryside, while Club de Golf Villamartín at 14.9 km is one of the established courses of the Orihuela Costa. For everyday sport, two centres lie within 3.5 km, covering racquet sports and municipal facilities, and a taekwondo club operates at 5.0 km. The salt lagoons of Torrevieja and La Mata lie nearby in the wider area and are popular for walking and cycling. The property's own recreation offer is anchored by the upper-floor leisure area with pool table and the private solarium, which function as immediate outdoor and social space without leaving home.
