This key-ready bungalow is located in a gated community in Ciudad Quesada, in the south of the province of Alicante on the Costa Blanca. The property offers two bedrooms, one bathroom and 57 m² of living space, built in 1970 and now available at a fixed asking price of €179,000. It includes a private rear garden, a private solarium, a separate storage room and open parking next to the dwelling. The communal swimming pool lies directly in front of the house, and the property looks out over the green spaces of El Recorral Park.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The bungalow sits within a gated urbanisation on the edge of Ciudad Quesada, overlooking El Recorral Park. Everyday amenities are concentrated within the town, while golf courses, sports facilities and the coast lie a short drive away. Elche is 22 km away as the crow flies, Alicante 38 km, and Alicante-Elche Airport approximately 27 km, which keeps regional access straightforward.
The layout serves a compact household: two bedrooms, one bathroom, a living room with balcony view and a separate dining area. Air conditioning and a ceiling fan in the bedroom provide climate control. Outdoor space is a defining feature, with a rear garden, a solarium and the communal pool immediately in front of the property. A storage room and private parking cover practical needs.
This is an existing home, completed in 1970 and currently key-ready, meaning it can be occupied directly after purchase. No construction phase or delivery schedule applies. Buyers should factor the age of the building into their assessment of installations, insulation and possible renovation needs, none of which are specified in the available data.
The property offers one bathroom only and 57 m² of living area, which limits space for larger households. It is a 1970 construction, so modern insulation standards and energy performance should not be assumed. Parking is open rather than covered. The data specifies no lift, no heating system and no sea view; views are limited to mountain and countryside outlooks.

This property fits a recognisable set of buyer situations. A couple seeking a compact permanent residence in a warm, walkable Spanish town will find the two-bedroom layout and direct pool access practical. Buyers wanting a lock-and-leave holiday home benefit from the gated community, the storage room and the low-maintenance dimensions of the house. Investors looking at the rental market around Ciudad Quesada can note the town's steady seasonal demand and the property's proximity to golf and amenities. The home is less suitable for larger families, since one bathroom and 57 m² constrain the number of occupants comfortably accommodated. Buyers prioritising modern energy performance should also consider that a 1970 build predates current insulation standards, and should budget for inspection and possible upgrades. For those who value outdoor living, a private garden, a solarium and a pool at the doorstep, over interior floor area, the trade-off may be acceptable. Finally, buyers who want to be within walking distance of the beach should note that the coast lies a drive away rather than on foot; this is a green, inland-urbanisation location with coastal access by car.
As a property completed in 1970, this bungalow reflects the construction methods of its period, and the available data does not specify any renovation of the structural fabric. What can be stated factually concerns the fittings and installations listed: air conditioning is present, and the bedroom has a ceiling fan, giving two forms of climate control relevant to a region where summer temperatures regularly exceed 25°C. The images show a functional interior, a bathroom with shower, toilet and sink, a bedroom with window and fan, and a living and dining area with conventional furnishings. The separate storage room and the outdoor staircase to the laundry area indicate a practical division of utility space typical of Spanish bungalow construction. The property includes a private solarium, which in this region usually consists of an open roof terrace finished for sun exposure, and a private rear garden. Buyers assessing long-term maintenance should consider the age of plumbing, electrics and windows, none of which are documented in the data. The communal elements, the pool and the gated entrance, are managed collectively, which means their condition depends on community management. A technical survey is the appropriate instrument for verifying the state of the building before purchase, particularly given the more than fifty years since completion.
The property is offered at a fixed asking price of €179,000. This is an existing, completed home from 1970, not a new-build development with a price list, so the quoted figure is the asking price rather than a starting price. Within the wider area, comparable new-build apartments in Torrevieja start from €160,000 to €169,000, while the Oasis Laguna 2 project in nearby El Raso starts at €227,000. This bungalow therefore sits in the middle of the local range, with its position explained by the private garden, solarium and pool-adjacent setting rather than by interior floor area. Availability is immediate, as the home is key-ready.
Daily life at this property revolves around a quiet residential street inside a gated community. The living room opens towards a balcony with views over the surrounding greenery, and the dining room sits adjacent, furnished around a wooden table, a conventional Spanish layout for a home of this size and era. The rear garden faces the green belt of El Recorral Park, which means the immediate outlook is open rather than built-up. Mornings can be spent on the solarium, which captures sunshine thanks to the property's sunny orientation, while the communal pool directly in front of the house shortens the walk to a swim to a matter of metres. Ciudad Quesada itself functions as a self-contained town: within roughly two kilometres there are around 25 restaurants, two pharmacies, three banks, a café and a dentist, so most daily errands are manageable without leaving the urbanisation's surroundings. The rhythm of the area shifts with the seasons, busy in summer, considerably calmer in winter months, which is typical for Costa Blanca residential tourism destinations. A car is the practical mode of transport for the coast, golf courses and larger cities, although nine public transport lines with five stops in the area provide a basic alternative. The property's compact size and single bathroom suit couples, small families or buyers seeking a low-maintenance second residence rather than a spacious family home.
Ciudad Quesada sits inland from the southern Costa Blanca coast at an elevation of about 69 metres, meaning gently rolling terrain without steep climbs. The immediate surroundings combine residential streets with the green space of El Recorral Park, which borders the property's garden side. Within two kilometres, residents can reach roughly 25 restaurants, two pharmacies, three banks and a dentist, which covers most daily needs within a short drive or a longer walk. For sport, Centro Deportivo La Raqueta lies 3.4 km away and the municipal Polideportivo El Molino 3.5 km, both reachable in a few minutes by car. An electric-vehicle charging point at the Iberdrola Oasis Center is 3.8 km away. The nearest marina, Port Esportiu Marina de les Dunes, is 7.6 km in a straight line, giving access to the coast and waterfront leisure. Public transport consists of nine lines serving five stops, workable for local trips but limited for regional travel, so a car remains the practical choice. All distances are straight-line; actual road distances are somewhat longer.

Ciudad Quesada occupies a middle position on the southern Costa Blanca, closer to the Orihuela Costa and Torrevieja belt than to Alicante city itself. Elche (22 km) and Alicante (38 km) anchor the north, while Murcia (37 km) lies to the southwest, giving the town access to two provincial capitals within a similar radius. This positions the property in a residential-tourism zone known for golf, salt lakes and a large international community, at a lower elevation and lower price level than the more exclusive coastal enclaves. For regional orientation, it is a practical base for both the Costa Blanca and the Murcia coastline.
The property's position balances inland tranquillity with regional accessibility. Alicante-Elche Airport lies approximately 27 km away as the crow flies, typically around half an hour by road, which keeps international travel practical for second-home owners and visiting guests. Valencia Airport is roughly 159 km away and Málaga around 369 km, placing both outside day-trip range. The regional cities are well distributed: Elche with about 235,000 inhabitants is 22 km away, Murcia 37 km and Alicante 38 km, so full urban services, hospitals, shopping, culture, are all within a 30 to 40 minute drive. Golf is a defining amenity here: La Marquesa Golf Course is described as a few minutes away by car, while Club de Golf La Finca lies 6.9 km and Villamartín 14.9 km in a straight line. The beach and marina at Marina de les Dunes, 7.6 km away, provide the nearest coastal access. For drivers, the area's road network connects easily to the AP-7 and N-332 corridors; public transport exists but is limited.

The climate data indicates a Mediterranean pattern: average monthly temperatures range from 12°C in the coolest month to 26°C in the warmest, with an annual average of 18.8°C. This supports year-round outdoor use of the solarium, garden and communal pool, although the stated swimming season, when sea water reaches at least 20°C, lasts about five months, roughly May through October. The property's sunny orientation increases direct sunlight on its terraces, which in this climate means outdoor living is realistic for most of the year. At 69 metres above sea level, the terrain is flat to gently sloping, so walking and cycling around the urbanisation involve little effort. The proximity of El Recorral Park adds a green buffer on one side of the property, and the listed mountain and country views reflect the area's position between the coastal plain and the inland hills. Rainfall is concentrated outside the summer months, in line with the regional pattern.

Coastal recreation is reached by car rather than on foot. The nearest marina, Port Esportiu Marina de les Dunes, lies 7.6 km away as the crow flies and marks the closest point of waterfront access, with the beaches of Guardamar del Segura beyond it. Golf is the standout nearby recreation: La Marquesa Golf Course sits a few minutes' drive from the property, and two further courses, Club de Golf La Finca at 6.9 km and Club de Golf Villamartín at 14.9 km straight-line, extend the options for regular players. For other sports, Centro Deportivo La Raqueta (3.4 km) and the municipal Polideportivo El Molino (3.5 km) offer facilities within a short drive, and a taekwondo club operates 5 km away. Within the urbanisation itself, the communal pool directly in front of the property provides the most immediate leisure option, and El Recorral Park offers walking routes starting effectively at the garden fence. The roughly 25 restaurants within two kilometres cover a range of everyday and leisure dining.

Set against nearby offerings, this bungalow occupies a distinct position in the local market. The comparable new-build projects, Palangre Beach in Torrevieja from €160,000, Sun & Center in Torrevieja from €169,000 and Oasis Laguna 2 Phase II in El Raso from €227,000, are all apartment developments with price lists starting at those figures. This property, by contrast, is a single existing home with a fixed asking price of €179,000, and its value proposition differs accordingly: instead of new-build specifications and communal apartment living, it offers a private garden, a private solarium, direct adjacency to the communal pool and a green outlook over El Recorral Park. The trade-off is interior volume, 57 m² with one bathroom, and a construction date of 1970, which means the installations and insulation should be assessed independently rather than assumed to match current standards. Locationally, Ciudad Quesada sits slightly inland from Torrevieja's coastal apartment zones, which brings quieter surroundings and golf proximity (La Marquesa within a few minutes' drive) at the cost of walking access to the beach. El Raso, home of the Oasis Laguna 2 project, is a comparable inland urbanisation but commands higher starting prices for new construction. For buyers weighing the Costa Blanca South market, the essential comparison is therefore between modern finishes and lower maintenance risk on the one hand, and outdoor space, privacy and immediate availability on the other. Median provincial income of €15,750 provides context for local purchasing power, while the regional demand from international buyers continues to shape both the resale and new-build segments around Ciudad Quesada, Torrevieja and the Orihuela Costa.
