A two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment on the top floor of a small residential building in Los Palacios, part of the municipality of Rojales on the southern Costa Blanca. The property measures 68 m² of living space and was completed in 1970. It has a fixed asking price of €135,000 and is key-ready, meaning it can be occupied directly after purchase. The apartment includes a lounge/dining room with sliding doors to a private terrace, an internal staircase to a private solarium, air conditioning throughout and security grills on doors and windows. Two main brand supermarkets, bars, restaurants and shops are within a five-minute walk, and the beaches of the Costa Blanca South are roughly ten minutes away by car.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in Los Palacios, a residential district of Rojales, at an elevation of about 11 metres above sea level. Daily amenities, supermarkets, bars, restaurants, pharmacies and banks, are within walking distance, and a municipal swimming pool lies nearby. The beaches of the Costa Blanca South are around ten minutes away by car, while Alicante-Elche Airport is approximately 26 km away as the crow flies.
The layout serves two residents comfortably: a lounge/dining room with glazed sliding doors onto a private terrace, two bedrooms (one with a fitted wardrobe), a bathroom with bathtub, and a kitchen/dining area. Air conditioning is fitted throughout, and an internal staircase leads to a private solarium with views over open countryside, the mountains and the evening sun.
This is not new construction. The building dates from 1970 and the apartment is key-ready, which means it can be transferred and occupied without waiting for building works. No delivery date applies, as the property already exists; any renovation or modernisation a buyer wishes to carry out would be arranged after purchase.
The apartment offers two bedrooms and one bathroom across 68 m², which sets limits on household size. There is a single bathroom, no en-suite, and no lift is mentioned for the building, the unit is on the top floor. No private parking space, private garden or private pool is included; the nearby swimming pool is municipal. The property was built in 1970, so construction and installations are of that era.

This apartment suits a buyer who wants an immediately usable base on the southern Costa Blanca at a comparatively modest entry price. Recognisable situations include: a couple seeking a holiday home within ten minutes' drive of the beach but preferring the lower costs and year-round services of an inland residential area; a single buyer or retiree who values walkable amenities, supermarkets, pharmacy, bank, cafés, over sea views; or a buyer purchasing a lock-up-and-go property, since the top-floor position, security grills and air conditioning require little day-to-day management. It also fits a small household that values private outdoor space: the terrace plus the additional solarium effectively double the usable exterior area relative to the 68 m² interior. It fits less well for buyers who need two bathrooms, ground-floor access, a private pool or a dedicated parking space, or for those who want to live entirely car-free with regular beach access, the coast is a short drive, not a walk. Buyers planning renovation works should factor the 1970 construction date into their budget and inspection priorities.
The apartment dates from 1970, and the interior visible in the photographs shows a functional, lived-in finish rather than a recent refurbishment. The lounge/dining room is bright, with a sofa and a wooden cabinet, and connects via sliding glazed doors to the private terrace. The kitchen/dining area has wooden furniture; the bathroom is fitted with a bathtub, toilet and sink; one bedroom has a window and a fitted wardrobe. Technical comfort is addressed through air conditioning throughout the dwelling, which handles both summer heat and winter mild spells, and security grills are fitted to doors and windows, a common and practical measure in Spanish apartments for periods of absence. The standout structural feature is the private solarium reached by an internal staircase: because it is accessed from within the property, it functions as genuine additional living space rather than a shared roof terrace. Buyers should treat the 1970 build date as an instruction to inspect installations, wiring, plumbing, windows and the roof/waterproofing of the solarium, with a surveyor, and to budget for modernisation over time. No information is available on the thermal performance of the building envelope.
The asking price is fixed at €135,000. That covers 68 m² of living space with two bedrooms, one bathroom, a private terrace and a private solarium, roughly €1,985 per square metre. For context on the wider area, comparable new-build projects listed nearby start higher: apartments in Torrevieja from €160,000 and €169,000, and a development in Urbanización El Raso from €227,000. Those are
Los Palacios functions as a year-round residential neighbourhood rather than a seasonal tourist zone. Within roughly two kilometres there are around 40 restaurants, 17 cafés, 10 banks, 7 pharmacies, 2 dentists and a school, which indicates a stable local economy that does not shut down outside the summer months. For daily life this means groceries, errands and social life can largely be handled on foot: the source description notes two main brand supermarkets within a five-minute walk. The rhythm of the day is therefore practical, morning shopping locally, an afternoon at the municipal pool 0.9 km away, and evenings on the terrace or solarium, where the top-floor position gives open views over countryside and mountains rather than over neighbouring roofs. Sport is well catered for nearby: Centro Deportivo La Raqueta at 1.3 km, a municipal sports centre at 2.0 km and another at 2.4 km. Public transport exists, 9 lines with 6 stops, but given the distances to the beach and airport, a car is the practical choice for most residents. The climate supports outdoor living for much of the year, with average monthly temperatures ranging from 12°C in winter to 26°C in summer and an annual average of 18.8°C.
Daily life in Los Palacios is anchored in a dense local amenity network: within two kilometres, roughly 40 restaurants, 17 cafés, 10 banks, 7 pharmacies, 2 dentists and a school serve the neighbourhood, and the description confirms two main brand supermarkets within a five-minute walk of the apartment. This density signals a resident population rather than a seasonal one, so shops and services stay open through winter, a point that matters for permanent residents and for anyone renting the property year-round. Leisure within easy reach includes the municipal swimming pool 0.9 km away and a second pool at 1.4 km, plus three sports centres between 1.3 and 2.4 km, covering racket sports and general fitness. Two viewpoints, Mirador de la Noria at 0.4 km and Mirador del Molino at 2.0 km, offer short walking routes with views over the surrounding lowland landscape. The nearest golf course, Club de Golf La Finca, is 6.5 km away as the crow flies, and a marina, Port Esportiu Marina de les Dunes, lies 7.5 km away. Public transport consists of 9 lines and 6 stops, workable for local trips, though the beach, airport and larger cities are more comfortably reached by car.

Los Palacios forms part of Rojales, a municipality in the Vega Baja comarca of the southern Costa Blanca, positioned inland of the coastal strip between Torrevieja and Guardamar del Segura. This location trades seafront proximity for lower property prices, a residential rather than resort character, and quick access to both the coast (about ten minutes by car) and the inland golf belt around Algorfa and Almoradí. Elche, Alicante and Murcia all lie within an hour, making the position practical for regional travel.
The beaches of the Costa Blanca South are approximately ten minutes away by car, according to the property description. Alicante-Elche Airport (ALC) lies about 26 km away as the crow flies, the road distance and drive time will be longer, which keeps international travel manageable for a second home. Valencia Airport is roughly 157 km away in a straight line and Málaga-Costa del Sol about 368 km, useful mainly for arrivals from further afield. Regional cities are all within an hour's radius: Elche (around 235,000 inhabitants) is 20 km away as the crow flies, Alicante (about 339,000) 36 km and Murcia (about 463,000) 37 km, giving access to hospitals, universities and larger shopping. Locally, an electric-vehicle charging point is 6.1 km away. A car is advisable: public transport is limited to local lines, and the nearest golf course (6.5 km), marina (7.5 km) and the coast all lie beyond comfortable walking distance.

Los Palacios sits at roughly 11 metres above sea level on flat terrain near the Segura river plain, so walking and cycling are easy and no hill climbing is involved in daily life. The climate is classic southern Costa Blanca: average monthly temperatures run from about 12°C in the coolest month to 26°C in the warmest, with an annual mean of 18.8°C. The swimming season, when sea water stays at or above 20°C, lasts around five months, typically from late spring into early autumn. Winters are mild enough to use the terrace through much of the year, while July and August afternoons are hot, which the installed air conditioning addresses directly. Rainfall is concentrated in a small number of autumn and spring days; the remainder of the year is predominantly sunny, which is what makes the solarium such a usable extra space. The open countryside and mountain views from the upper level reflect the transition zone between the irrigated lowland and the inland sierras.

The coast of the Costa Blanca South is about ten minutes away by car, giving access to the long sandy beaches around Guardamar del Segura, La Mata and Torrevieja, several of which hold Blue Flag status in most years. Closer to home, recreation is organised around facilities rather than sand: the municipal pool of Rojales is 0.9 km away, a second municipal pool 1.4 km, and a third option 2.0 km from the apartment, so summer swimming does not depend on a beach trip. Three sports centres, Centro Deportivo La Raqueta (1.3 km), Polideportivo Municipal El Molino (2.0 km) and Centro Deportivo Daya Vieja (2.4 km), cover fitness, racket sports and municipal programmes. Golfers can reach Club de Golf La Finca at 6.5 km as the crow flies, one of the well-regarded inland courses of the Vega Baja. For walkers, the Mirador de la Noria viewpoint lies 0.4 km from the door and the Mirador del Molino 2.0 km, both offering short routes with views across the plain.

Within its own segment of the southern Costa Blanca, this apartment competes mainly on price and immediate usability. The fixed asking price of €135,000 positions it below the nearest comparable new-build listings: Apartments Palangre Beach in Torrevieja from €160,000, Edificio Sun & Center in Torrevieja from €169,000, and Oasis Laguna 2 Phase II in Urbanización El Raso from €227,000. Those projects offer modern construction, contemporary finishes and, in some cases, communal pools or newer energy standards, which this 1970 building does not. What it offers instead is a completed, transferable home with no waiting period, a private solarium that effectively adds outdoor living space, and a location with walkable year-round amenities in Los Palacios. Buyers weighing the trade-off should consider three factors. First, age: a 1970 building will need inspection of wiring, plumbing and waterproofing, and possibly renovation budget that narrows the price gap with new build. Second, location character: Torrevieja developments sit in a busier, more tourist-oriented town, while El Raso is a quieter urbanisation further from daily services; Los Palacios sits between the two, residential and service-rich, but ten minutes from the beach rather than walking distance. Third, outdoor space: a private solarium with internal access is a feature that many similarly priced apartments lack. For a modest budget, the realistic comparison is therefore between a newer, smaller or costlier unit elsewhere and a larger exterior footprint here.
