A two-bedroom, two-bathroom semi-detached house in the Los Gitanillos urbanisation on the edge of Ciudad Quesada, close to La Marquesa Golf. Built in 2005 and available key-ready, the property offers 75 m² of living space arranged over two floors, with a ground-floor bedroom and bathroom, a U-shaped private patio, and a first-floor terrace. The asking price is fixed at €174,000. Ciudad Quesada sits inland from the southern Costa Blanca coast, roughly 27 km as the crow flies from Alicante-Elche airport, with supermarkets, bars and restaurants within about 1 km of the house.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The house stands in Los Gitanillos, a small residential pocket of Ciudad Quesada near La Marquesa Golf. Vehicle access is from a quiet street, and a second pedestrian entrance opens onto a private lane shared by only fifteen properties. Supermarkets, bars and restaurants lie within about 1 km, and the Parque Natural El Recorral is nearby.
The layout suits buyers seeking single-level living with an upstairs option: one bedroom and one bathroom sit on the ground floor, so daily life can be managed without stairs. The U-shaped patio provides outdoor space on three sides, while the upstairs bedroom has its own private terrace. Air conditioning is installed.
This is an existing property, completed in 2005 and described as being in good condition. It is key-ready, meaning no construction phase or waiting period applies. The local water supply network is currently in the final stage of improvement works, which may cause temporary disruption to utilities.
The property has two bedrooms and 75 m² of living space, which limits capacity for larger households. There is no private pool; swimming is via a communal pool. Parking is street-based, as no private garage is listed. Distances to the coast mean a car is practical for beach visits and airport transfers.

This property fits several recognisable situations. A retired buyer wanting to live on one level part of the year will find the ground-floor bedroom and bathroom a practical base, with the upstairs room available for visiting family. A couple seeking a low-maintenance second home near golf will value the walking-distance proximity of La Marquesa Golf and the two terraces for outdoor living. An investor considering rental use gets a key-ready, two-bathroom layout, a feature that improves rental flexibility compared with single-bathroom units, at a price point well below regional new-build alternatives. The house is less suited to buyers who need three or more bedrooms, a private pool, or a private garage, since none of these form part of the offering. It also assumes car ownership: although buses serve Ciudad Quesada with several lines and stops, distances to the beach, the airport and larger towns make driving the practical norm. Buyers prioritising a coastal location should note the inland position; the nearest marina, Marina de les Dunes, is 7.6 km away as the crow flies. Finally, buyers planning renovation works should factor in the ongoing water network improvements in the area, which the seller reports as being in their final stage.
The property was completed in 2005 and is presented in good condition. As a semi-detached house of conventional Spanish construction from that period, the expectation is a rendered masonry structure, though buyers should verify specifics during a viewing. The interior finish shown in the listing photographs includes a fitted kitchen with window and cabinets, and bedrooms with external windows providing natural light and views. The upstairs bedroom opens directly onto its own terrace, indicating glazed door access at first-floor level. Climate control is covered by air conditioning, which handles both cooling in summer and, depending on the installed unit type, heating in the cooler months. Utilities are connected, with electricity and drinkable water supply; the wider area's water network is undergoing final-stage improvement works, which should result in a modernised supply infrastructure once completed. External features contribute to everyday quality of use: the U-shaped patio creates sheltered and open corners depending on sun position and wind, the private terrace extends usable space upstairs, and the attached-on-one-side construction means only a single shared wall, reducing direct neighbour contact on the other orientations. Access arrangements, a quiet street for vehicles and a rear pedestrian lane shared by fifteen properties, limit through-traffic. Buyers should treat all finish levels and technical details as indicative and confirm them through an independent survey before purchase.
The asking price is fixed at €174,000 for the complete property. This is an existing home, not a new-build price list, so there is no range of unit types or prices; what is offered is this specific house with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, 75 m² of living space, a private patio, an upstairs terrace, a private garden area, air conditioning and access to a communal pool. For context, nearby new-build projects in the region, apartments in Rojales from €475,000, villas in Daya Nueva from €380,000 and key-ready apartments in Lomas de Cabo Roig from €369,000, start at roughly double this figure. Availability is immediate, as the property is key-ready and completed in 2005.
Daily life in this house revolves around a compact two-floor layout. The ground floor concentrates the essentials: a bedroom, a bathroom, and the kitchen, which has a window over the sink and fitted cabinets. This arrangement means that a resident can live entirely downstairs, using the first floor only when extra sleeping space or the private terrace off the upstairs bedroom is needed. The U-shaped patio wraps around the property on three sides, giving morning and afternoon options for sitting outside without leaving the house. Because the house is attached on one side only, two exterior orientations remain free. The setting is a quiet residential street in Los Gitanillos, with a second pedestrian entrance from a lane used by fifteen properties in total. Traffic is therefore limited to residents. Practical errands are within reach: a supermarket, bars and restaurants sit within about 1 km, and the wider urbanisation of Ciudad Quesada offers pharmacies, banks and a dentist within a 2 km radius, based on local amenity data. Golf is the defining leisure feature of the area, La Marquesa Golf lies a short distance away, and the house has golf views. For walks, Parque Natural El Recorral is close by. The climate supports outdoor use of the patio for most of the year, with average monthly temperatures ranging from 12°C in winter to 26°C in summer.
Ciudad Quesada functions as a self-contained inland urbanisation on the southern Costa Blanca, south of Torrevieja. Within a 2 km radius, amenity data lists 25 restaurants, two pharmacies, three banks, a café and a dentist, enough coverage for daily needs without leaving the immediate area. The house itself sits within 1 km of a supermarket, bars and restaurants, so grocery runs and casual meals are short trips on foot or by car. Sport and leisure infrastructure is close: Centro Deportivo La Raqueta at 3.4 km and Polideportivo municipal El Molino at 3.5 km as the crow flies cover racket sports and municipal facilities, and an Iberdrola electric vehicle charging point stands at the Oasis Center, 3.8 km away. Public transport exists, nine lines and five stops serve the area, but the spatial pattern of the region, with towns and beaches spread along the coast, makes a car the practical choice for most residents. The setting is residential and relatively quiet, with the rhythm of the neighbourhood determined by permanent residents and seasonal visitors rather than nightlife or mass tourism.
The map shows the house in Los Gitanillos on the edge of Ciudad Quesada, with La Marquesa Golf as the green belt beside the urbanisation. The coastline, including the marina at 7.6 km, and the road connections towards Alicante airport roughly 27 km away are visible in the wider view.

Ciudad Quesada occupies an inland position on the southern Costa Blanca, between the coastal towns of Guardamar and Torrevieja and the Vega Baja interior. Its role is residential: a consolidated urbanisation with its own commercial strip, set in flat agricultural-and-golf terrain rather than directly on the shoreline. Within the regional structure, it benefits from proximity to three sizeable cities, Elche, Murcia and Alicante, all within roughly 40 km straight-line, while remaining removed from high-density tourist zones. Compared with the Costa del Sol further west, this stretch of coast is generally lower in price and lower in building intensity.
Distances in this section are straight-line, as the crow flies; road distances are longer. Alicante-Elche airport (ALC) lies about 27 km away, making it the natural entry point for international arrivals, roughly a half-hour drive by road. Valencia airport is 159 km away and Málaga-Costa del Sol 369 km, relevant only for specific routings. The coast is within easy reach: the Marina de les Dunes marina at 7.6 km provides the nearest port facilities. Golfers can choose between La Marquesa next to the urbanisation, Club de Golf La Finca at 6.9 km and Club de Golf Villamartín at 14.9 km. Larger urban centres surround the area at practical distances: Elche (234,765 inhabitants) at 22 km, Murcia (462,979 inhabitants) at 37 km and Alicante (339,322 inhabitants) at 38 km. This triangle gives access to regional hospitals, universities and cultural amenities while the house itself remains in a low-density setting. Car ownership is effectively assumed; public transport covers nine local lines but is not positioned as a full alternative.

The location sits at 69 m above sea level, low enough that terrain is essentially flat to gently rolling, with no significant slopes affecting walking or cycling around the urbanisation. The climate is Mediterranean with an average annual temperature of 18.8°C and monthly averages ranging from 12°C in the coldest months to 26°C in summer. Winters are therefore mild: patio use and golf remain feasible year-round, and heating demand is modest. The swimming season runs about five months, during which sea water stays at or above 20°C, shorter than the hottest parts of the Andalusian coast but typical for this latitude. Rainfall concentrates in autumn and early spring, with long dry summers. The nearby Parque Natural El Recorral adds a direct natural recreation option within walking or short driving distance, complementing the golf-oriented green surroundings of La Marquesa.

Recreation in the immediate area is dominated by golf: La Marquesa Golf adjoins the urbanisation and is the property's closest green amenity, with views from the house. Two further courses, Club de Golf La Finca (6.9 km) and Club de Golf Villamartín (14.9 km), both straight-line, expand the options within a short drive. Beach days require a car trip to the coast, where the beaches of Guardamar del Segura and the broader Torrevieja stretch lie within easy reach; the Marina de les Dunes at 7.6 km marks the nearest coastal facility. Swimming without leaving the urbanisation is possible via the communal pool associated with the property. Indoor and racket sports are covered by Centro Deportivo La Raqueta (3.4 km), the municipal El Molino sports centre (3.5 km) and a taekwondo club at 5.0 km. The 25 restaurants within 2 km provide varied dining without longer journeys, and the natural park El Recorral offers walking territory on the doorstep.

At a fixed asking price of €174,000, this house occupies a distinctly different segment from the surrounding new-build supply. Comparable projects in the region illustrate the gap: OCEANIC APARTMENTS in Rojales start from €475,000, NUEVA DAYA VILLA in Daya Nueva from €380,000, and RESIDENTIAL VIVALIFE in Lomas de Cabo Roig from €369,000. Against these, the asking price here is less than half the entry level of the nearest alternative, the trade-off being a 2005 construction year, a modest 75 m² footprint and an existing finish rather than new-build specifications. The buyer profile differs accordingly. New-build buyers in this corridor are typically purchasing brand finishes, developer warranties and communal facilities at premium rates; the buyer of this property is purchasing location and layout efficiency at entry-level cost. The two-bathroom configuration is a genuine differentiator at this price point, since many comparable resale properties in the Vega Baja carry a single bathroom. Proximity to La Marquesa Golf is shared with several of the newer developments, but few can offer a ground-floor bedroom-and-bathroom combination suited to older buyers or accessibility needs. Locationally, Ciudad Quesada sits slightly inland relative to coastal new-build clusters such as Lomas de Cabo Roig, which trades distance from the beach for a quieter, more residential rhythm and lower land values. For budget-driven buyers, that geography is precisely what makes the price achievable. The regional economic backdrop, a provincial median income of €15,750, supports a domestic rental market alongside international demand, relevant for investment use. Buyers comparing options should weigh the roughly €200,000 saving against new-build alternatives, offset by the absence of a private pool, a private garage and contemporary energy specifications.
