A furnished two-level duplex in Ciudad Quesada, southern Alicante province, offered at a fixed asking price of €249,900. The property has approximately 77 m² of private area, three bedrooms and two bathrooms, a south-facing front terrace and a private rooftop solarium with an awning and privacy screening. Views extend across the salt lakes of La Mata and Torrevieja towards the Mediterranean. Built in 1999 and key-ready, the home forms part of a development with two communal pools, in a quiet cul-de-sac roughly 15 minutes on foot from the town centre.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Ciudad Quesada sits on the southern Costa Blanca in Alicante province, an elevated residential area between the towns of Rojales and Torrevieja. The duplex occupies the end of a cul-de-sac, free of through traffic, with an open outlook over the La Mata and Torrevieja salt lakes towards the sea. Alicante-Elche airport lies approximately 27 km away as the crow flies.
The layout serves everyday living with a bright living room, open-plan kitchen and dining area on the main level, two bedrooms there and a third bedroom with en-suite bathroom on the rooftop level. The south-facing terrace and solarium provide two distinct outdoor spaces. Air conditioning, marble flooring and full furnishing mean the home can be used immediately after purchase.
This is an existing home completed in 1999, not a new-build development, and it is available immediately as a key-ready property. Recent works include renewed waterproofing and tiling on the rooftop terrace and modernised bathrooms. Delivery dates do not apply; transfer follows the standard purchase process once the sale is completed.
The property has no private pool; swimming facilities are two communal pools shared with the development. Parking is on the street, with no private garage or allocated space included. The third bedroom on the roof level is currently being regularised, as it was originally registered as a storage room; cadastral records show 62 m² built area against the 77 m² of private area presented.

This duplex suits several recognisable situations. A buyer seeking a ready-to-use second home on the southern Costa Blanca will find the combination of full furnishing, air conditioning and communal pools practical: the property can be occupied or let out shortly after purchase, without renovation works. Those who prioritise outlook over interior floor area may also find the arrangement appealing; the elevated, south-facing position with salt lake and sea views is a specific feature of this plot at the end of a cul-de-sac, not a generic trait of the area. The rooftop room with en-suite bathroom works well for households that regularly host guests, keeping the main level available for permanent residents. Buyers comparing against new-build alternatives may notice the price gap: at €249,900 the home sits well below the from-prices of nearby new developments, in exchange for a 1999 construction year and communal rather than private pools. It is less suited to those who need a private garage, since parking is on-street only, or buyers who require fully regularised square meterage immediately, as the third bedroom is still being formalised. Finally, the location suits households comfortable with a residential setting where the town centre is a walk of roughly 15 minutes rather than on the doorstep, and where a car remains convenient for beaches, golf and the airport, given the modest public transport offer of five stops and nine lines.
The home dates from 1999 and is described as being in good condition, with evidence of targeted reinvestment rather than a full renovation. Both bathrooms have been modernised, and the photographs show a contemporary shower unit with a washing machine integrated into the bathroom area. The rooftop terrace has recently been upgraded with new tiling laid over a new waterproofing membrane, an important technical point in this climate, where solariums take direct sun for most of the year and membrane failure is a common maintenance issue in older buildings. The chosen tiles are reported to stay comfortable underfoot in warm weather, and a retractable awning plus glass boundary screening have been added, which extends the usable hours of the terrace in summer. Inside, the home has marble flooring throughout and air conditioning, visible in the bedroom photography as a wall unit above twin beds. The living room and dining area appear bright, consistent with the south orientation and the large sliding doors. The property is sold fully furnished, which lowers the practical threshold for immediate use but also means the buyer takes over an existing furnishing scheme rather than selecting new. As with any 1999 build, buyers are advised to verify the general state of installations such as wiring and plumbing through an independent survey. The known documentation point concerns the rooftop room: originally a storage room, it has been incorporated into the living accommodation and its regularisation is in progress, with cadastral records showing 62 m² built against roughly 77 m² of total private area presented for sale.
The property is offered as an existing home at a fixed asking price of €249,900, fully furnished. The price reflects a 1999 build of roughly 77 m² private area with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a front terrace and a private rooftop solarium, set within a development with two communal pools. In the surrounding market, comparable new-build projects start higher: Lo Marabu Bungalows Phase 2 in Ciudad Quesada from €322,000, Nueva Daya Villa in Daya Nueva from €380,000, and Oceanic Apartments in Rojales from €475,000. Availability is immediate, as the home is key-ready. Buyers should budget for the regularisation of the rooftop room, since official records currently list 62 m² built area against the 77 m² of private area being marketed.
Daily life at this duplex revolves around its layered layout and its view. The main living level works as the practical heart of the home: an entrance leads into a bright living room where large sliding doors open onto the south-facing terrace, so daylight enters throughout the day and the panorama over the salt lakes becomes part of the ordinary routine. The open-plan kitchen and dining area sits alongside, keeping cooking, eating and relaxing on one floor together with two bedrooms and a modern bathroom. A staircase rises to the rooftop level, where a spacious room currently arranged as a third bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom. This second level functions partly as a guest suite and partly as an extension of outdoor living: the private solarium has recently been retiled and re-waterproofed, with tiles that stay comfortable underfoot in warm weather, a retractable awning for shade and glass screening along the boundary for privacy. The setting itself is quiet, at the end of a cul-de-sac with no through traffic, yet bars and restaurants are within walking distance and the centre of Ciudad Quesada is roughly 15 minutes on foot. Within a 2 km radius the data lists 25 restaurants, two pharmacies, three banks, a cafe and a dentist, which covers most daily needs without driving. For sport, Centro Deportivo La Raqueta lies about 3.4 km away and the municipal sports centre El Molino about 3.5 km, both as the crow flies. The practical rhythm here is therefore walkable and low-effort: mornings on the terrace, afternoons at one of the two communal pools, and evenings with an uninterrupted view towards Torrevieja along the coastline.
Ciudad Quesada functions as a year-round residential town on the southern Costa Blanca, inland of Torrevieja and within the municipality of Rojales. The immediate surroundings of the duplex are quiet by design: the property stands at the end of a cul-de-sac off Calle Rias Altas, on an elevated plot facing the salt lakes of La Mata and Torrevieja. The town centre lies approximately 15 minutes away on foot, and the immediate radius of 2 km contains a dense amenity base for a settlement of this size: 25 restaurants, two pharmacies, three banks, a cafe and a dentist. This density means most daily errands, meals out and pharmacy visits do not require a car. Larger urban centres frame the region: Elche with around 234,765 inhabitants lies 22 km away in a straight line, Murcia with roughly 462,979 inhabitants at 37 km, and Alicante city with about 339,322 inhabitants at 38 km. This places the property in a position where quiet residential living and access to substantial city services coexist within half an hour to an hour by road. Public transport exists but is limited, with five stops and nine lines in the data, so most residents rely on a car for coastal trips, golf and airport journeys. Practical destinations by straight-line distance include an EV charging point at the Iberdrola Oasis Center 3.8 km away and the Marina de les Dunes port at 7.6 km.

Markers indicate the 2 km amenity radius with restaurants and pharmacies, plus golf at 6.9 km, the marina at 7.6 km and Alicante-Elche airport at approximately 27 km straight-line. The centre of town lies roughly 15 minutes on foot.

Within the southern Costa Blanca, Ciudad Quesada occupies a middle position between the coastal intensity of Torrevieja and the rural inland municipalities of Rojales and Daya Nueva. It sits closer to the coast than inland villages such as Daya Nueva, yet remains set back from the beachfront itself, which is reflected in its property prices. The town belongs administratively to the Alicante province, whose capital lies 38 km away in a straight line, while Murcia at 37 km is comparably close, placing the location on the border zone of two regional economies. For buyers weighing Costa Blanca against Costa del Sol, the nearest Malaga airport at 369 km underlines that this is a distinctly different catchment area, served far more conveniently by Alicante-Elche at 27 km.
Accessibility is a strong point of this location. Alicante-Elche Airport (ALC) lies approximately 27 km away as the crow flies, making it the natural gateway for international arrivals and weekend flights; Valencia airport is around 159 km distant and Malaga-Costa del Sol roughly 369 km, both realistic but longer options. Within the region, distances are measured straight-line and road routes will be longer. Golfers can reach Club de Golf La Finca at 6.9 km and Club de Golf Villamartín at 14.9 km, while the Marina de les Dunes offers mooring and waterfront facilities at 7.6 km. Sports provision is close: Centro Deportivo La Raqueta at 3.4 km, the municipal Polideportivo El Molino at 3.5 km and a taekwondo club at 5.0 km. An EV charging station at the Iberdrola Oasis Center, 3.8 km away, supports electric vehicle use. By car, the AP-7 and N-332 corridors connect the town with Torrevieja, Alicante and Murcia. Public transport is limited to five stops and nine lines, so a car is advisable for beach days, golf and shopping beyond the immediate radius.

The climate data indicates mild winters and warm summers, with average monthly temperatures ranging from 12°C to 26°C and an annual average of 18.8°C. For practical purposes, this means heating needs in winter are modest while air conditioning, which the property has, handles the summer months. The swimming season extends to five months with sea water at or above 20°C, aligning roughly with May to September. The town sits at 69 m above sea level, which combined with the elevated position of this particular plot explains the open panorama over the salt lakes towards the coast. Those lakes, La Mata and Torrevieja, form a protected natural park and dominate the view from the south-facing terrace and solarium; they also attract birdlife throughout the year. The rooftop awning and glass screening are practical responses to the local climate, providing shade during the middle of the day and shelter from the coastal breeze. Rainfall is limited in this part of the Costa Blanca, so outdoor living on the terrace and solarium is feasible across most of the year rather than only in summer.

The recreational offer around Ciudad Quesada is anchored by the salt lakes and the nearby coast. The Marina de les Dunes port, 7.6 km away as the crow flies, provides the nearest direct waterfront access with moorings and maritime facilities. Beaches of Torrevieja and Guardamar del Segura lie within short driving distance along the coastline visible from the solarium. Golf is well represented for a town of this size: Club de Golf La Finca at 6.9 km is one of the most regarded courses in the southern Alicante province, and Club de Golf Villamartín at 14.9 km adds a second option within a quarter of an hour by road. For everyday sport, two centres sit within 3.5 km, Centro Deportivo La Raqueta and Polideportivo El Molino, plus a taekwondo club at 5.0 km. The development itself includes two communal swimming pools, which covers daily swimming without leaving the complex. Walking and cycling routes around the salt lake park begin effectively at the edge of town, giving residents a natural recreation area that changes character with bird migration through the seasons. The 25 restaurants within 2 km supply the social side of leisure life within walking distance.

Measured against nearby new-build supply, this duplex positions itself on price. Lo Marabu Bungalows Phase 2 in Ciudad Quesada starts at €322,000, Oceanic Apartments in Rojales at €475,000 and Nueva Daya Villa in Daya Nueva at €380,000, all substantially above the €249,900 fixed asking price here. The trade-offs are structural: those projects deliver new construction with current building standards, developer warranties and, in the villa case, private land, while this property offers a 1999 build with communal pools and on-street parking. What it does offer is a combination rarely matched in the new-build segment at this price: an elevated, south-facing plot at the end of a cul-de-sac with unobstructed views over the La Mata and Torrevieja salt lakes to the sea, a private rooftop solarium of generous size, and a rooftop room with en-suite bathroom functioning as a guest suite. Within Ciudad Quesada itself, the western elevated edge where this property sits is the part of town most associated with lake views, whereas newer phases such as Lo Marabu lie closer to flatter land towards Rojales. Buyers comparing across the region should also note the wider setting: Elche at 22 km straight-line, Murcia at 37 km and Alicante at 38 km place the town within reach of three substantial urban economies, while golf at 6.9 km, a marina at 7.6 km and Alicante-Elche airport at 27 km keep leisure and travel logistics straightforward. The realistic buyer profile differs from the new-build buyer: less emphasis on warranties and communal branding, more emphasis on view, outdoor space per euro and immediate usability, since the home arrives fully furnished and key-ready. The regularisation of the rooftop room is the single documentation item that distinguishes this purchase from a standard resale and warrants legal review before commitment.
