This completed apartment is located in Los Altos, on the edge of Torrevieja on the southern Costa Blanca, Alicante province. The property offers 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms across approximately 90 m² of living space, with an open-plan kitchen, a glazed terrace, underground parking and private storage. The building dates from 1970 and is served by a lift. Daily amenities are within walking distance, including a supermarket roughly 350 metres away, and the beaches of Playa del Cura lie about 1.2, 1.3 km from the door. Alicante-Elche airport is approximately 35 km away in a straight line.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in the Los Altos district, an established residential area adjoining Torrevieja city. Playa del Cura beach is roughly 1.2, 1.3 km away on flat terrain (0.8% gradient). A supermarket (354 m), pharmacy (576 m) and 14 public transport lines with 50 stops make the surroundings walkable in daily practice. Torrevieja city centre and its marina are a short drive or bus ride away.
The property functions as a turnkey home: fully furnished, with air conditioning, central heating, a communal pool, lift, underground parking space and private storage room. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms accommodate families or visiting guests. The glazed terrace extends usable living space throughout the year. The 1970 construction means the layout reflects older Spanish apartment proportions rather than new-build formats.
This is not a new-build development. The building was completed in 1970 and the apartment is ready for immediate occupation. Buyers should expect building standards and energy performance typical of its era, partially updated through climate-control installations and interior renovation visible in the photography. No construction risk or delivery timeline applies to this purchase.
The property does not offer a private pool, private garden, sea views or new-build energy certification. It is an apartment in a 1970 building, so features such as contemporary insulation values, underfloor heating or smart-home systems are not part of the specification. No cadastral energy label is recorded in the dataset. The underground parking is a single allocated space, and the communal pool is shared with other residents.
This property matches several recognisable buyer situations. First, buyers seeking an immediately usable second home on the Costa Blanca without renovation work: the apartment is furnished, climate-controlled and delivers with parking and storage. Second, households needing three bedrooms and two bathrooms for family holidays or partial relocation, where separate bathrooms reduce morning congestion with guests. Third, year-round residents who value walkability, the flat terrain, supermarket at 354 metres and 50 public transport stops within the municipality reduce car dependence for daily errands, though a car remains practical for hospital visits (3.4 km), golf courses (8.7, 11 km) and airport transfers. Fourth, buyers prioritising an established urban environment over resort-style isolation: 27 pharmacies, 24 banks and 27 dentists within two kilometres indicate mature service infrastructure. The property suits less well those wanting new-build energy performance, private outdoor space beyond the terrace, or a secluded setting, Los Altos is a working residential district with corresponding activity levels, particularly in July and August when the Costa Blanca tourist season peaks. Buyers intending rental investment should verify local licensing requirements for tourist lets in the Valencian Community, as regulations restrict such activity in many residential buildings.
The interior photography indicates a renovated unit rather than an untouched 1970 property: a modern kitchen with built-in oven, a dining area integrated with the open kitchen, contemporary hallway finishes with a stone column accent, and a bedroom with bamboo-pattern wallpaper and a large window. Technical installations include air conditioning and central heating, both listed in the property features, which is a meaningful combination for year-round habitation given regional winter temperatures averaging around 12°C. The terrace is enclosed with closable glass curtains, a common Costa Blanca solution that adds an insulated buffer zone and extends usable space across seasons. Building-level features comprise a lift, communal pool, and allocated underground parking with a separate storage room, practical additions that address humidity, security and seasonal equipment storage. No energy performance certificate value is recorded in the available data; given the 1970 construction date, buyers should request the existing certificate and anticipate performance below current new-build standards (comparable new projects typically carry A or B ratings). Structural and installation condition, plumbing, electrics, building façade and community maintenance status, should be verified through technical due diligence, as these elements in buildings of this age vary significantly depending on the timing of community renovations.
The asking price is €285,000 for a completed, furnished three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment of approximately 90 m², including an underground parking space and storage room. This positions the property above comparable new-build listings in Torrevieja such as EDIFICIO ANTONELLA (from €214,000) and EDIFICIO VENTO (from €255,000), though those prices are "from" figures and specification levels may differ. The inclusion of furniture, parking and storage in a single price is a differentiating factor in the resale segment. Actual transaction costs, taxes and community fees are not included in the stated price.
Los Altos is a consolidated residential district between Torrevieja and Orihuela Costa, characterised by low-rise apartment blocks, small commercial strips and a mixed population of permanent residents and seasonal visitors. Daily life here is largely pedestrian in scale: the nearest supermarket is about 350 metres away, a pharmacy under 600 metres, and cafés, banks and restaurants cluster within a two-kilometre radius, 168 restaurants and 44 cafés are recorded in that zone. The apartment's glazed terrace functions as a year-round room, usable in winter thanks to central heating and in summer with air conditioning. With three bedrooms and two bathrooms, the layout supports both permanent residence and extended family stays. The communal pool provides seasonal bathing without private maintenance duties, while the underground parking space and storage room address practical needs that many resale apartments in the area lack. Torrevieja itself, with roughly 98,500 registered inhabitants (2025, INE), supplies hospital care (3.4 km), sports facilities such as the Palacio de Deportes Infanta Cristina (1.2 km) and the Real Club Náutico marina (1.1 km). The terrain is essentially flat at about 20 metres above sea level, so walking and cycling to the beach involve no significant climb. Outside the summer months the district quiets down noticeably, though the size of the permanent population keeps supermarkets, pharmacies and health services operating year-round, a relevant consideration for buyers intending off-season residence.
The immediate surroundings operate on a neighbourhood scale. The supermarket at 354 metres and pharmacy at 576 metres make daily provisioning feasible on foot, and the 0.8% gradient to the beach means no physical barrier for older residents. Within two kilometres, the service density is substantial: 168 restaurants, 44 cafés, 27 pharmacies, 24 banks, 27 dentists and 3 schools, indicating a district that functions fully outside the tourist season. Healthcare at hospital level requires a 3.4 km journey. Public transport covers the municipality with 14 lines and 50 stops, connecting Los Altos with Torrevieja centre, La Mata and Orihuela Costa. For recreation, the Palacio de Deportes Infanta Cristina (1.2 km) and municipal sports centres provide indoor facilities, and the Real Club Náutico marina (1.1 km) marks the seaside promenade network that links Torrevieja's beaches. Electric-vehicle owners should note the nearest recorded charging points are 5.8, 9.8 km away, so home or communal charging options warrant verification. Traffic in the district follows the coastal seasonal pattern: quiet in winter, considerably busier in July and August.

Torrevieja records approximately 3,854 sunshine hours per year historically, among the higher figures for mainland Spain, and a mean annual temperature of 18.7°C within a 12, 26°C seasonal range. The sea reaches 20°C or warmer for roughly five months, giving a swim season from late May into October at the local beaches. The municipality sits at about 20 metres above sea level with a slope to the beach of under 1%, meaning no altitude-related exertion on daily routes. The immediate natural context is urban-coastal rather than green: the salt lagoons of the Torrevieja and La Mata natural park border the municipality and contribute to the dry, low-humidity microclimate the area is known for. Local celebrations number 32 per year, reflecting an active municipal calendar.

Within Torrevieja's current supply, this apartment at €285,000 sits above the entry point of comparable new-build projects: EDIFICIO ANTONELLA starts at €214,000, EDIFICIO VENTO at €255,000, and EDIFICIO TALAN 2 at €255,000. The price difference reflects three factors. First, this is a completed resale with furniture, an underground parking space and a storage room included, whereas new-build "from" prices typically exclude these items, which on the Costa Blanca can add €15,000, €30,000 in combined value. Second, the 90 m² three-bedroom, two-bathroom format is larger than many entry-level new-build units, which often start at 60, 75 m² with two bedrooms. Third, the offsetting consideration: a 1970 building will not match the energy ratings (typically A/B) or modern insulation standards of 2020s construction, and community maintenance history becomes a due-diligence item. Locationally, Los Altos compares with alternatives such as central Torrevieja (closer to the promenade, denser), La Mata (quieter, more residential, near the natural park) and Orihuela Costa (more resort-oriented, closer to La Zenia Boulevard shopping and the golf courses). This apartment's position suits buyers weighing total cost and move-in readiness against the specification advantages of new build, a trade-off that each comparable listing resolves differently depending on included extras and floor area.
