This east-facing townhouse is situated in Gran Alacant, a residential district on the Costa Blanca South between Alicante and Santa Pola. The property offers 145 m² of built space across three levels, with three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a 36 m² solarium with views towards the sea and the city of Alicante. The asking price is a fixed €260,000. The home was completed in 1970 and is described as being in good condition, available key-ready. Platja dels Arenals del Sol lies 1.3 km away as the crow flies, and Alicante-Elche Airport is roughly 4 km away.
Within its segment, this townhouse competes with new-build apartment projects further south along the coast. APARTMENTS PALANGRE BEACH in Torrevieja starts from €160,000 and EDIFICIO SUN & CENTER, also key-ready in Torrevieja, from €169,000; OASIS LAGUNA 2 Phase II in Urbanización El Raso starts from €227,000. Those projects offer modern construction, contemporary specifications and typically communal pools, but in apartment format with less built space. At €260,000 fixed, this Gran Alacant property costs more yet delivers 145 m² of built area plus a solarium, an entrance terrace with pergola and barbecue, and a three-room basement, a volume of space that new-build apartments at comparable prices on the Costa Blanca South rarely match. The trade-off is straightforward: buyers here get space, an established urbanisation and immediate proximity to Alicante-Elche Airport, Alicante city and Elche, but accept 1970 construction without new-build warranties and without listed communal facilities. Location-wise, Gran Alacant sits closer to a major city and airport than Torrevieja or El Raso, roughly 15 minutes from both Alicante and Elche, which matters for buyers who value urban access, direct flights and year-round services over resort-style amenities. The flat terrain and dense bus network of 13 lines distinguish it from more car-dependent urbanisations inland. Rental and resale dynamics follow from this profile: the property appeals to families and long-stay users needing multiple bedrooms and storage, whereas the newer apartment projects target holiday-let and lock-and-leave buyers. Each option answers a different question; the comparison is one of space and location against finish and facilities.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Gran Alacant sits on the coastal strip south of Alicante, close to the beaches of Arenals del Sol and El Altet. The district has a shopping centre near the CV-92 entrance and a range of daily services including supermarkets, a pharmacy, a school, a library and medical facilities. Alicante and Elche are both around 15 minutes away by car.
The layout suits year-round or seasonal living: a ground floor with living-dining room, semi-independent kitchen and shower bathroom; two double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes on the first floor; and a solarium on top. A 38 m² basement with three separate rooms offers space for storage, a gym or additional living area.
This is an existing home, not a new-build project. Construction was completed in 1970 and the property is key-ready, meaning it can be transferred in its current state. Renovation needs should be assessed on viewing, as the finish dates from an earlier building period. Delivery dates and transfer timing remain indicative.
The property does not include a private pool, garage or garden listed in the available data. Features recorded are a private terrace and mountain views. As a 1970 townhouse, it lacks the specifications and warranties of new construction. No information is available regarding energy performance, community fees or parking arrangements.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A buyer seeking a secondary home near the beach, within a short drive of Alicante-Elche Airport, benefits from the 1.3 km distance to Platja dels Arenals del Sol and the roughly 4 km to the airport, one of the shortest airport commutes on the coast. Households planning year-round residence will find a full layout with two bathrooms, a basement for storage or hobbies, and everyday services within walking distance, including a school, pharmacy and bus stop. Buyers who prioritise outdoor space over interior novelty may value the pergola terrace, the balcony and the 36 m² solarium, which together add substantially to the usable living area. Investors considering rental use should note the property's condition and era: a 1970 construction requires a technical survey, and any refurbishment budget affects the return calculation. It suits buyers comfortable with an established urbanisation rather than a gated new development, and those who accept a house without a private pool or listed parking. It is less suited to buyers wanting turnkey modern finishes, a garage, or resort-style communal facilities. The flat surroundings and 43 public transport stops across 13 lines also make it workable for households that do not always want to rely on a car.
The house dates from 1970 and is presented in good condition, though the finish reflects its age rather than contemporary new-build standards. Photography shows a dining room with wooden furniture, a living room with sofa and dining area, a tiled bathroom with storage, a bedroom with patterned wall finish and air conditioning, and a sunny patio terrace. The practical layout points are concrete: built-in wardrobes in both double bedrooms, a shower bathroom on the ground floor and a bathtub bathroom on the first floor, a covered utility area off the kitchen, and a pergola with barbecue on the entrance terrace. The 36 m² solarium and the 38 m² basement with three separate rooms are structural assets that a buyer can adapt over time. As with any property of this vintage, a technical inspection is the sensible step to verify the electrical installation, plumbing, roof condition of the solarium level and any damp issues. The air conditioning unit visible in the bedroom suggests some systems have been updated, but no inventory of appliances or installations is available in the data. No energy performance certificate details are recorded, and buyers should request these documents during due diligence. Overall, the materials and technique should be judged on viewing; the asking price implicitly reflects the 1970 construction era within the local market.
The asking price is a fixed €260,000 for the property as it stands, key-ready. This covers 145 m² of built area (112 m² usable), three bedrooms, two bathrooms, the solarium, the entrance terrace and the basement. At this price point the property positions itself between the new-build apartments in Torrevieja starting at around €160,000-169,000 and the Oasis Laguna 2 project in Urbanización El Raso from €227,000, while offering more built space in an established residential setting. Availability is immediate in principle; transfer timelines depend on the standard purchase process. Buyers should budget separately for purchase costs and any updating works they wish to carry out.
Daily life in this townhouse is organised over three floors plus a basement. The ground floor opens through a porch into the living-dining room, with a semi-independent kitchen that includes a covered utility area and a bathroom with shower. The entrance terrace, fitted with a pergola and barbecue, functions as an outdoor room for much of the year given the local climate. Upstairs are two double bedrooms, both with built-in wardrobes; the master bedroom has a balcony and there is a second bathroom with a bathtub. The top floor is a 36 m² solarium facing east, catching morning sun and offering views of the sea and Alicante. The 38 m² basement, divided into three rooms, is a flexible space that could serve as storage, a home gym or extra accommodation. The house sits within a residential development in Gran Alacant, where a bus stop, school, bars and restaurants are within walking distance. The east orientation means the main outdoor spaces are at their best in the morning and earlier afternoon. The flat terrain towards the beach, with a gradient of only 0.2 percent, makes walking and cycling realistic options for daily errands and beach trips. Gran Alacant behaves differently across the seasons: commercial activity is at its peak in the summer months, while the year-round community keeps core services such as supermarkets, the pharmacy and the medical facilities open throughout the year. Sixteen restaurants within 2 km give a reasonable choice of eating out without needing to drive.
Gran Alacant functions as a self-contained residential district with a permanent population and an expanded service base resulting from recent growth. Within 2 km there are sixteen restaurants and a pharmacy; the description also lists supermarkets, medical facilities, a library, a school and a bus stop in the immediate vicinity. The main commercial hub is the shopping centre near the CV-92 entrance, with further commercial premises distributed across the built-up area and particularly active in summer. For sports, two municipal facilities lie within 3.5 km: Poliesportiu Javi Ródenas Blasco at 2.5 km and Polideportivo Municipal José Antonio Alemañ Valero at 3.5 km, and a public pool is located 1.6 km away. The terrain towards the sea is essentially flat at a 0.2 percent gradient, so the 1.3 km walk or cycle to Platja dels Arenals del Sol requires no notable climb. Public transport is comparatively strong for a coastal suburb: 13 lines serve the area with 43 stops, and the Torrellano railway station is 6.2 km away in a straight line. The Port de Santa Pola marina, 7.4 km away, covers boating and waterfront leisure needs. Hiking trails and water sports opportunities are noted in the surrounding area.
The map shows the property within Gran Alacant, with Arenals del Sol beach 1.3 km to the east and Alicante-Elche Airport roughly 4 km inland, a proximity few coastal spots on the Mediterranean can match. Alicante and Santa Pola frame the district to the north and south. Sunshine, sandy beaches and an easy airport transfer define this corner of the Costa Blanca.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Gran Alacant occupies the coastal plain between Alicante city and Santa Pola on the southern Costa Blanca, about 15 minutes by car from each. This positions the property notably further north than the comparable new-build projects in Torrevieja and Urbanización El Raso, and closer to Alicante's airport, city amenities and the Elche conurbation. Valencia airport is 138 km away in a straight line and Malaga 392 km, underlining that this location belongs to the Costa Blanca rather than the Costa del Sol circuit. The district combines a permanent community with strong seasonal tourism, distinct from both purely residential inland urbanisations and dense resort towns.
The property's accessibility profile is one of its distinguishing features. Alicante-Elche Airport lies approximately 4 km away as the crow flies, reachable in about 5 minutes by car, which is exceptionally close for a coastal residence; some aircraft noise should be expected as a consequence. Alicante and Elche are each around 15 minutes by car, and Murcia roughly 40 minutes. Three beaches sit within 2.5 km: Platja dels Arenals del Sol at 1.3 km, Platja de l'Altet at 1.8 km and Platja del Carabassí at 2.5 km, all straight-line distances with actual road distances somewhat longer. Golfers can reach Club de Golf El Plantío, 6.6 km away in a direct line. For rail connections, Torrellano station is 6.2 km away, giving access to the regional network. Local mobility is supported by 13 bus lines and 43 stops, making car-free living feasible for daily needs, though a car remains practical for the surrounding cities and the marina at Santa Pola. The flat gradient to the coast means walking and cycling are realistic alternatives for beach trips.

The climate data indicates a Mediterranean pattern: average monthly temperatures range from 12°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer, with an annual average of 18.7°C. The swimming season extends to five months with sea temperatures at or above 20°C, roughly matching the May-to-October window in which beach use is comfortable. The elevation is a mere 7 m above sea level and the gradient towards the beach is 0.2 percent, confirming a flat coastal plain with no hills between the house and the sea. The east-facing orientation aligns the solarium and balcony with the morning sun, which is pleasant in summer when afternoon heat builds and less generous in winter, when the outdoor spaces receive light earlier in the day. The area records 32 local public holidays per year, reflecting an active municipal calendar across the district and neighbouring towns. For nature interests, hiking trails are noted nearby, and the Carabassí beach area towards the south borders dune and pine landscapes typical of this stretch of coast.

Beach access is a core strength of this location. Platja dels Arenals del Sol, 1.3 km away in a straight line, is the nearest sandy beach and one of the most established family beaches on this part of the coast. Platja de l'Altet at 1.8 km and Platja del Carabassí at 2.5 km add alternatives, with Carabassí known for its dune backdrop and quieter character towards the southern end. The five-month swimming season means sea bathing is comfortable from late spring into early autumn. Recreational infrastructure within easy reach includes two municipal sports centres at 2.5 and 3.5 km, a public swimming pool at 1.6 km and the Port de Santa Pola marina at 7.4 km for sailing and waterfront dining. Golfers have Club de Golf El Plantío 6.6 km away. Water sports opportunities are noted along this coast, and several hiking trails start in the immediate surroundings. For evenings out, the sixteen restaurants within 2 km and the bars in Gran Alacant itself cover most casual needs without driving.
