This ground-floor corner apartment is located in Altos de la Bahía, a residential area of Torrevieja on the southern Costa Blanca, in the province of Alicante. Completed in 2005 (indicative), the property offers 75 m² of built space with two bedrooms, one bathroom, a south-facing orientation and a spacious private terrace with sea views. A private parking space within the gated community is included, and residents have year-round access to a communal swimming pool and children's pool. The nearest beach, Playa del Cura, lies approximately 1.2 km away, and a commercial centre with supermarket and pharmacy is within a three-minute walk.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in an established urban district of Torrevieja, roughly 1.2 km from Playa del Cura and the seafront. Torre Marina Commercial Centre is approximately 350 m away, providing supermarket access on foot. The setting is urban rather than beachfront: shops, restaurants and services are within walking distance, while the surrounding streets carry the year-round activity of a city with nearly 99,000 inhabitants.
The layout serves a practical coastal-living arrangement: two bedrooms accommodate a small family, guests or dual use as a home office. The corner position and south orientation give the terrace extended daylight hours, suitable for outdoor dining much of the year. Air conditioning (hot and cold) supports both summer and winter occupancy, and the communal pool allows swimming without private maintenance obligations.
This is not a new-build development. The apartment was completed in 2005 (indicative) and is described as being in good to excellent condition, sold fully furnished. Buyers assessing construction phase should treat this as a resale property within a gated community of that period, with the corresponding building standards, fittings and community regulations applicable to early-2000s construction on the Costa Blanca.
The property has one bathroom only, which limits suitability for larger households or simultaneous guest use. It is a ground-floor unit within a dense urban setting, so privacy and outlook differ from upper-floor apartments. There is no private pool, no private garden and no seafront position; the sea view is partial from the terrace. Golf courses lie 8.7 km or more away, and the nearest EV charging point is 5.8 km distant.
This property aligns with several recognisable buyer situations. A couple seeking a low-maintenance second home benefits from the furnished, turnkey condition, the gated parking and the communal pool maintained by the community rather than the owner. A small family using the apartment for extended school-holiday stays has two bedrooms, a children's pool on site and three schools within a 2 km radius. Retirees wanting year-round habitability find cold and hot air conditioning, a hospital 3.4 km away, pharmacies within 600 m and a flat urban environment where daily errands do not require a car. Buyers prioritising walkability, supermarket at 354 m, commercial centre within a three-minute walk, 14 public transport lines and 50 stops citywide, can manage without driving for most daily needs. The property is less obviously suited to buyers wanting seafront proximity, since the beach is 1.2 km rather than across the street; to households needing two or more bathrooms; or to those seeking a quiet rural or hillside setting, as the environment is urban and populated year-round. For rental-consideration buyers, the furnished condition, pool access and walking distance to amenities are standard requirements in the Torrevieja market, though rental performance depends on management choices and seasonality.
The apartment reflects early-2000s Costa Blanca construction standards, subsequently maintained to a condition described as good to excellent. Interior photographs show a modern white kitchen with appliances, indicating a kitchen renewal relative to the original 2005 build, and a bathroom with shower. The separate kitchen layout, as opposed to an open-plan design, is characteristic of the construction period and affects how the living space is used. Climate control consists of hot and cold air conditioning units, which handle both summer cooling and winter heating, though the absence of underfloor heating or central systems is normal for this class of property. The windows and insulation follow the building regulations applicable in 2005; buyers focused on energy performance should request the energy performance certificate, as the rating was not stated in the source data. The private terrace is a substantial feature, described as very spacious, and functions as an additional living area for much of the year given the local climate of roughly 3,850 annual sunshine hours. The property is sold fully furnished, which transfers the current owner's furniture and fittings rather than new specification. Community elements include the gated entrance, the year-round communal pool with children's section, and the private parking space within the grounds. Buyers should verify community fees, the state of the building's communal areas and any planned works (derramas) through the standard notarial and community documentation during conveyancing.
The asking price is €195,000, equating to approximately €2,600 per m² of built area. Within Torrevieja, comparable listed projects start from €155,000 (Panorama Beach), €160,000 (Apartments Palangre Beach) and €169,000 (Edificio Sun & Center, key ready). This unit's pricing sits above those entry points, which correlates with its included private parking space, furnished condition and terrace with sea views. The provincial median income of €15,750 provides regional economic context. Prices are stated as "from" and indicative; availability should be confirmed directly.
Daily life here revolves around an urban residential rhythm. The apartment's position inside a gated community with on-site parking separates domestic life from street parking pressure, which is a practical consideration in a city of Torrevieja's density. Mornings can follow a familiar pattern: a short walk to the supermarket 350 m away, coffee at one of the 44 cafés within a 2 km radius, and the terrace as the natural centre of the day given its south-facing orientation and partial sea view. The walk to Playa del Cura covers roughly 1.2 km over flat terrain, a slope of under 1%, making the beach accessible on foot in about 15 minutes for most walkers, or a few minutes by bicycle. Afternoons can shift between the communal pool, available year-round and including a children's section, and the wider city: the marina at Real Club Náutico is 1.1 km away, and the Palacio de Deportes Infanta Cristina sports centre 1.2 km. Evenings benefit from the density of restaurants, 168 within a 2 km radius, so dining out does not depend on driving. The accommodation works as a lock-up-and-leave second residence or as a year-round base: air conditioning covers both seasons, and the pharmacy at 576 m plus 27 more within 2 km provide routine health access. Torrevieja is not a seasonal ghost town; with a registered population of about 98,500, services operate through winter, though summer months bring noticeable tourist activity in the streets near the coast.
The immediate surroundings operate as a functioning urban neighbourhood rather than a holiday enclave. Within a 2 km radius, the density of services is high: 168 restaurants, 44 cafés, 27 pharmacies, 24 banks and 27 dentists, alongside three schools. This concentration means that groceries, banking, medical appointments and dining are all feasible on foot, a supermarket lies 354 m away and the nearest pharmacy 576 m. Public transport access is structured, with 14 lines and 50 stops across the city, connecting the district to other parts of Torrevieja and neighbouring municipalities. The hospital at 3.4 km is reachable by car in under ten minutes in normal traffic. For recreation, the Real Club Náutico marina (1.1 km) and the Palacio de Deportes Infanta Cristina (1.2 km) provide sailing and indoor sports facilities, while the Torre del Moro viewpoint (3.0 km) offers coastal walking. The terrain is essentially flat, 20 m elevation with a 0.8% slope towards the beach, which makes the area manageable for walkers and cyclists of all ages. The trade-off of an urban location of this density is traffic and noise near commercial streets, particularly in July and August when the tourist population expands; the gated community with private parking mitigates the parking dimension of this.
The map shows the property's position within Torrevieja's urban fabric: Playa del Cura 1.2 km to the east, the marina and sports centre just beyond, and Torre Marina Commercial Centre immediately to the north. Golf courses cluster 8.7, 11 km southwest, and Alicante-Elche Airport lies approximately 35 km north.

Torrevieja occupies the southern stretch of the Costa Blanca in Alicante province, between the cities of Alicante (roughly 45 minutes by road) to the north and the Orihuela Costa and Mar Menor area to the south. Within this corridor it functions as the largest full-service urban centre, which distinguishes it from the smaller resort villages of Orihuela Costa such as Punta Prima and La Zenia. The position gives residents hospital services, year-round commerce and cultural institutions that smaller coastal settlements lack, while the golf courses of Villamartín and Campoamor and the shopping at La Zenia Boulevard remain within a 15-minute drive. Note that Torrevieja is one of the predominantly Spanish-speaking areas of the Valencian Community.
Distances are given as straight-line figures. Playa del Cura and Platja del Cura lie 1.2, 1.3 km away, with Cala del Palangre at 1.5 km; walking routes are flat. Alicante-Elche Airport (ALC) is approximately 35 km away, a drive typically taking 40, 50 minutes, while Valencia Airport is roughly 168 km and Málaga-Costa del Sol about 368 km.

Torrevieja's climate data supports extended outdoor use of the terrace and pool. Historical records indicate approximately 3,854 sunshine hours per year, and a mean annual temperature of 18.7°C with a seasonal range of roughly 12, 26°C. The sea swimming season, defined by water temperatures at or above 20°C, lasts about five months, generally from late spring into early autumn, though the communal pool is accessible year-round. The city lies at approximately 20 m above sea level with negligible gradient (0.8% towards the beach), meaning no stair climbs or inclined streets between the apartment and the coast. Winters are mild by northern European standards but cool enough that the hot-air conditioning function is relevant for comfortable occupancy from November through March. The immediate hinterland includes the La Pinada area 4 km away and the salt lagoons of the wider Torrevieja region, which influence local air quality and the characteristic coastal light. Rainfall is low and concentrated in autumn, so terrace use is limited more by temperature than by wet weather.

Torrevieja holds seven Blue Flag beaches, among them El Cura, the nearest to this property at 1.2 km, plus Los Locos, Cabo Cervera, Cala de las Piteras and La Mata. Blue Flag status involves annual assessment of water quality, safety services and accessibility, and the number of awarded beaches indicates sustained municipal investment in the coastline. Beach options vary: Playa del Cura is an urban beach with full services, while coves such as Cala del Palangre (1.5 km) offer smaller, quieter swimming spots. For golfers, three 18-hole courses lie within 8.7, 11 km, Villamartín, Campoamor and Las Ramblas de Orihuela, all in the Orihuela Costa golf corridor. Sports infrastructure near the property includes the Palacio de Deportes Infanta Cristina (1.2 km), CF Torrevieja facilities (1.4 km) and private gyms. Swimming pools beyond the communal one include the Parque de las Naciones residential pool (1.2 km) and a hotel pool (0.9 km). Nautical activities centre on Real Club Náutico at 1.1 km.

Within the Torrevieja resale market, this apartment's €195,000 asking price (about €2,600 per m²) positions it above the entry-level comparables currently listed in the city: Apartments Palangre Beach from €160,000, Edificio Sun & Center from €169,000 and Panorama Beach from €155,000. Those three are positioned closer to the Palangre cove and Cura beachfront, which partly explains their compact pricing at lower per-metre specification. This unit's differentiators are the included private parking space inside the gated community, the fully furnished turnkey condition and a large south-facing corner terrace with partial sea views, features that typically carry a premium in Torrevieja, where on-site parking in particular is scarce in older beachfront districts. Compared with the broader region, Torrevieja offers a different proposition from the Orihuela Costa resort belt 10, 15 minutes south: it is a working Spanish city of roughly 98,500 residents with a hospital, full winter commerce and 14 public transport lines, whereas Orihuela Costa is more seasonal and car-dependent. Buyers weighing Torrevieja against the northern Costa Blanca towns (Guardamar, Santa Pola) will find similar flat coastal geography but a denser urban core here. Golf-oriented buyers should note that all three nearest courses sit in the Orihuela Costa corridor, requiring a short drive; EV owners should likewise note the nearest public charger is 5.8 km away. The 2005 build year places the property between older 1970s, 90s stock near the seafront and the newer developments at the comparables' locations, which matters for community fees, building maintenance expectations and energy performance. For the Mediterranean-lifestyle buyer weighing sunshine hours against urban services, this location trades seafront proximity for year-round walkability, a trade-off each buyer will weigh differently.
