This single-level bungalow is situated in a quiet, elevated part of Ciudad Quesada, a residential town in the Alicante province on the southern Costa Blanca. The property offers 48 m² of living space with one bedroom, a fully renovated bathroom with walk-in shower, an open living-dining area with a modern fitted kitchen, a glazed front terrace and a rear patio with laundry area. A storage room, private parking and air conditioning are included, and the home is sold furnished and equipped. The asking price is fixed at €172,000, with the property ready for immediate occupation.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Ciudad Quesada lies inland of Guardamar del Segura, on elevated ground roughly 69 metres above sea level. The position provides open views over the valley and mountains. Daily amenities are concentrated within the town itself: within two kilometres there are restaurants, pharmacies, banks and a café. Elche sits 22 km away as the crow flies, with Murcia at 37 km and Alicante at 38 km.
The property functions as a compact, single-level home suited to one or two occupants. It combines indoor living space with a glazed terrace usable for most of the year and an outdoor patio for laundry and storage. Fitted wardrobes, a walk-in shower and private parking address basic practical needs. Air conditioning is installed. The layout avoids stairs entirely, which simplifies day-to-day use.
This is not a new-build project. The dwelling dates from 1970 and is offered key-ready as an existing home with a fixed asking price. The bathroom has been fully renovated and the kitchen is described as modern and fully equipped. The construction date means building standards, insulation and installations reflect their period, with the documented renovations applied to specific areas rather than the whole structure.
The property offers one bedroom and one bathroom within 48 m², which limits its capacity to small households. There is no mention of a swimming pool, communal garden or lift. The building's 1970 construction date means energy performance documentation is absent from the provided data. Residents should expect to rely on private transport for the coast and larger cities, as the immediate public transport offering consists of five stops served by nine lines.

This property fits a buyer seeking a low-cost foothold on the southern Costa Blanca rather than a new-build home. It suits a single person or couple wanting a manageable, stair-free dwelling for permanent residence, with the glazed terrace adding seasonal living space. It also functions as a low-maintenance holiday base: the furnished, key-ready condition allows use shortly after purchase, and the rear patio and storage room keep holiday equipment in order. Investors may find the entry price relevant for rental use, given the town's year-round amenity base and the five-month swimming season at nearby beaches. The profile fits buyers who accept a 1970 building with a partially renovated interior in exchange for a price roughly half that of new-build comparables. It does not suit households needing more than one bedroom, a private pool or extensive outdoor space, nor buyers who require modern energy documentation or wish to be within walking distance of the beach. A car forms part of the practical reality here: the coast, golf courses and airport are all reachable by road, but not on foot. Buyers prioritising open views, single-level living and proximity to everyday amenities within a two-kilometre radius will find those conditions met. Those prioritising new construction, communal facilities or coastal frontage would need to look at other options in the region.
The documented finishing level is uneven but specific. The bathroom has been fully renovated and includes a walk-in shower, which is a practical feature for long-term single-level living. The kitchen is described as modern and fully equipped, integrated into the open living-dining area. The bedroom has fitted wardrobes, and the dwelling is sold furnished and equipped, which reduces initial outlay for a buyer intending to use it immediately. The glazed terrace represents a construction addition that extends usable space and improves comfort in cooler months; glazing of this type is common in the region for exactly that reason. Air conditioning is installed, covering both cooling and, in most regional installations, heating. Beyond these documented elements, the building originates from 1970. That has consequences a buyer should weigh: construction standards of that period differ from current regulations in insulation, window performance and electrical installation, and the provided data does not state the extent of any upgrades to these systems beyond the bathroom and kitchen. The rear patio and storage room are functional spaces finished at utility level rather than as living areas. Private parking is included. The overall picture is a modest dwelling with targeted modernisation in the wet areas and kitchen, original structure elsewhere, and a condition that allows immediate occupation. A technical survey remains the standard instrument for verifying the state of installations, damp and structure in a property of this age.
The property is offered as an existing home with a fixed asking price of €172,000. It is not part of a price-listed development, so this figure applies to this specific dwelling rather than a range of units. Included in the sale are furniture, equipment, air conditioning, private parking and the storage room. The home is key-ready, meaning no construction or delivery period applies; completion follows the standard Spanish purchase process. For context, new-build comparables in the wider area start from approximately €369,000 to €475,000, which places this property at the entry level of the local market, reflecting its age, size and single-bedroom layout.
Living here centres on a simple, ground-level routine. Mornings can start on the glazed front terrace, which extends the usable living area and captures the open views across the valley that the elevated position provides. The living-dining area with the open kitchen forms the core of the home, with the bedroom and renovated bathroom arranged for single-level circulation. At the rear, the patio serves practical purposes: laundry, drying and storage, supported by the separate storage room. Ciudad Quesada itself is a fully established residential town rather than a seasonal resort. Within a two-kilometre radius, daily needs are covered by roughly twenty-five restaurants, two pharmacies, three banks, a café and a dentist. This density of amenities means groceries, errands and meals out do not require a journey to the coast. The town sits about 69 metres above sea level, so the climate is slightly moderated without the exposure of a beachfront plot. Average monthly temperatures range from 12°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer, with an annual average of 18.8°C. For leisure, La Marquesa Golf Course is approximately five minutes away by car, the beaches of Guardamar roughly ten minutes, and Torrevieja also about ten minutes. Two further golf clubs, La Finca and Villamartín, lie 6.9 and 14.9 km away as the crow flies. The rhythm of daily life is therefore local and quiet, with coastal and sporting excursions a short drive rather than a walk away.
Ciudad Quesada is an established residential town where daily life does not depend on the tourist season. The two-kilometre amenity count, around twenty-five restaurants, two pharmacies, three banks, a café and a dentist, covers routine needs without leaving town. The immediate surroundings are described as quiet and elevated, with views over the valley and mountains. For sport, Centro Deportivo La Raqueta lies 3.4 km away as the crow flies and the Polideportivo municipal El Molino 3.5 km. Golfers can reach La Marquesa in about five minutes by car, with Club de Golf La Finca at 6.9 km and Club de Golf Villamartín at 14.9 km straight-line. A marina, Port Esportiu Marina de les Dunes, sits 7.6 km away. An electric vehicle charging point at the Iberdrola Oasis Center is 3.8 km away, relevant for EV owners. Public transport exists on a modest scale, nine lines and five stops, sufficient for local connections but not a substitute for a car for regional travel. Elche, at 22 km as the crow flies, and Alicante at 38 km provide urban services, hospitals and shopping beyond what the town itself offers. The road network links the town to the N-332 and AP-7 corridor along the coast.
The map shows the elevated residential setting of Ciudad Quesada, with the Mediterranean coast to the east and the golf courses of the Vega Baja inland. Note that the stated distances are straight-line, as the crow flies; road distances and travel times by car are generally longer.

Ciudad Quesada occupies a middle position between the coastal towns of Guardamar and Torrevieja and the inland Vega Baja. Within the Alicante province it sits in the far south, closer to Murcia (37 km) than to Alicante city (38 km) in straight-line terms, though both are reachable within an hour. Elche, at 22 km, is the nearest large urban centre. This positioning gives the town a dual character: the services and beaches of the Costa Blanca are minutes away by car, while the immediate setting remains residential and quiet, with the golf corridor of the Vega Baja, La Marquesa, La Finca, Villamartín, forming the main recreational axis of the area.
Accessibility is primarily car-based. The beaches of Guardamar del Segura are roughly a ten-minute drive, as is Torrevieja with its full range of urban services. Alicante-Elche Airport lies approximately 27 km away as the crow flies, described in the source material as roughly a 40-minute drive. Alicante city itself is 38 km straight-line, with its 339,000 inhabitants, hospital network and cultural offering. Murcia, 37 km away, provides a second large regional centre to the west. For golf, La Marquesa is about five minutes by car; La Finca and Villamartín lie 6.9 and 14.9 km away as the crow flies. The marina at 7.6 km covers mooring and waterfront leisure. Public transport within the town consists of nine lines and five stops, workable for short local trips. Private parking at the property and quiet street parking observed in the area make car ownership straightforward.

The local climate is classified by mild winters and warm summers: average monthly temperatures run from 12°C to 26°C, averaging 18.8°C across the year. The elevation of 69 metres gives the town a slightly inland character, warm in summer but less exposed than beachfront locations, and quiet in terms of tourist traffic. The swimming season, based on sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts about five months, typically May to October. Rainfall data is not specified in the provided figures, but the region is characterised by low annual precipitation and high sunshine hours, consistent with the 12–26°C band. The elevated position of the property provides open views over the valley and mountains, which also means some sloping terrain in parts of the town; the dwelling itself is on one level. The combination of altitude and outlook suits buyers wanting Mediterranean warmth with a degree of separation from the busiest coastal strip.

Coastal recreation is within a short drive. The beaches of Guardamar del Segura sit about ten minutes away by car; these wide sandy beaches form part of the southern Costa Blanca's main attraction, and the five-month swimming season reflects sea temperatures of 20°C or more. Torrevieja, also about ten minutes, adds urban beaches, a seafront promenade and nightlife. Golf is a defining leisure feature of the area: La Marquesa is roughly five minutes from the property, Club de Golf La Finca 6.9 km away and Club de Golf Villamartín 14.9 km away as the crow flies, giving three courses within a quarter-hour radius. Waterfront leisure extends to Port Esportiu Marina de les Dunes at 7.6 km. On land, Centro Deportivo La Raqueta (3.4 km), Polideportivo municipal El Molino (3.5 km) and Club de Taekwondo Draco Kwan (5.0 km) cover racquet sports, municipal sport and martial arts. The town's own restaurants and cafés within two kilometres complete the day-to-day recreation offering.

Within the immediate region, this property occupies the entry segment of the market. New-build comparables nearby start substantially higher: Oceanic Apartments in Rojales from €475,000, Nueva Daya Villa in Daya Nueva from €380,000, and Residential Vivalife in Lomas de Cabo Roig from €369,000. Those projects offer modern construction, current energy standards and communal facilities, attributes this 1970 bungalow does not provide, at between two and nearly three times the price. The gap reflects more than floor area alone. Ciudad Quesada itself is an established, service-oriented town with a year-round population and an amenity base unusual for its size, including about twenty-five restaurants and three banks within two kilometres. Its elevated setting, roughly 69 metres above sea level, distinguishes it from beachfront locations: slightly cooler in summer, quieter outside the season, and dependent on a car for the coast. That car dependency is shared by most of the surrounding Vega Baja municipalities, where new-build development clusters around the golf corridor of La Marquesa, La Finca and Villamartín. Buyers weighing this property against new-build alternatives are effectively trading construction age, energy documentation and communal amenities for location within a functioning town and a significantly lower capital outlay. Rental-demand considerations follow the same logic: the town's permanent population and amenity density support year-round letting, whereas many resort developments concentrate demand in the summer months. Provincially, the median income of €15,750 provides context for local purchasing power and for the type of tenant a buy-to-let investor might expect. In short, this is not a competitor to the new-build golf developments on specification; it competes on price, position and immediate usability.
