A key-ready apartment of 105 m² in the Playa del Acequión district of Torrevieja, on the southern Costa Blanca. The property offers three bedrooms, one bathroom, an independent kitchen and a 6 m² south-facing terrace with sea views, situated approximately 100 metres from the shoreline. Built in 1970 and maintained in good condition, the home includes a lift in the building. The asking price is fixed at €169,990. The surrounding neighbourhood is urban, with shops, pharmacies and restaurants within walking distance and the nearest beach about 1.2 km away as the crow flies.
Within Torrevieja, the available comparable stock consists of key-ready apartment projects listing from roughly €155,000 to €169,000. Panorama Beach lists from €155,000, Apartments Palangre Beach from €160,000 and Edificio Sun & Center from €169,000, making this apartment's fixed price of €169,990 comparable with the top of that range. The relevant difference lies in what the price buys: newer developments typically offer modern construction, better insulation and sometimes communal amenities, whereas this 1970 property offers 105 m² of space and a central coastal position near Playa del Acequión. Per square metre, the asking price works out at about €1,619, which for a sea-view property within walking distance of the beach reflects the trade-off between age and location. Regionally, Torrevieja sits on the southern Costa Blanca, generally more affordable than the Marbella-centric Costa del Sol further west, while sharing the Mediterranean climate pattern, here an average annual temperature of 18.7 °C. The city's permanent population of about 98,500 and its service density, 168 restaurants within 2 km of the apartment, distinguish it from smaller resort villages that quieten down outside summer. Accessibility differs across the region too: the 35 km distance to Alicante-Elche Airport is convenient by regional standards. Buyers weighing alternatives should compare this property against the newer key-ready developments above on criteria such as bathroom count, parking, community fees and expected renovation outlay, since the €15,000 to €15,000 price gap between the cheapest and this listing can be consumed quickly by modernisation works on a 1970 building.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment stands in an urban coastal district of Torrevieja, a city of roughly 98,500 inhabitants. A supermarket lies 354 metres away and a pharmacy 576 metres, both within an easy walk. The nearest beach, Playa del Cura, sits 1.2 km away in a direct line. The area is flat, with a gradient of about 0.8% towards the sea, which makes walking and cycling practical for daily errands.
The layout serves basic household needs: three bedrooms, a single bathroom, an independent kitchen and 105 m² of built living area. The 6 m² south-facing terrace receives daylight for most of the day and offers sea views. A lift serves the building. Households requiring a second bathroom or dedicated parking will find these absent and should weigh that against the property's other characteristics.
This is an existing home, completed in 1970, not a new-build development. The construction status is recorded as key-ready, meaning the property can be occupied directly after purchase. Renovation work, if desired by a future owner, would need to be arranged and financed separately. The 1970 construction date places the building outside recent building regulations, which is relevant context for technical inspection.
The property has one bathroom only and no private parking, storage room, garden or communal pool listed in the available data. EV charging points are 5.8 km away or more by direct line, so electric-vehicle owners depend on public infrastructure at some distance. The building dates from 1970, which typically implies older installations unless these have been updated. No information on community facilities beyond the lift is available.
This property fits a buyer seeking a ready-to-occupy coastal home at a moderate budget, in a walkable urban setting where a car is optional for daily life. It can serve as a permanent residence for a small household or couple who value proximity to services over space, or as a second home near the sea with letting potential during the five-month swimming season. The three bedrooms give flexibility: one for the owners, one for guests, one for a study or hobby room. The single bathroom narrows the fit for families with teenagers or for buyers who expect en-suite comfort; those needs are better served elsewhere. The buyer profile that matches best is one comfortable with a 1970 building, prepared to commission a technical survey, and possibly planning selective modernisation over time. Buyers wanting a gated resort with communal pools, gardens and parking should look at new-build alternatives in the region instead. Accessibility matters here: the flat terrain and the lift make the property workable for older residents, whereas the distance to Alicante-Elche Airport, about 35 km in a straight line, roughly 40 minutes by road, is a factor for frequent flyers. Households with an electric car should note the nearest charging points are several kilometres away. In short, the apartment suits pragmatic buyers prioritising location, walkability and price over modern finishes and resort amenities.
The available data records the condition as good, with features including a lift and a private terrace. The building dates from 1970, which sets expectations about construction methods and materials of that period: typically load-bearing masonry walls, older window frames unless replaced, and electrical and plumbing installations that may not match current standards. The interior photographs show conventional finishes, including a bedroom with a ceiling fan, an indicator that climate control relies on individual units rather than a central system. The kitchen is independent rather than open-plan, consistent with the original layout of the era. The bathroom count of one suggests the original distribution has not been extended. No data is available on recent upgrades to wiring, glazing or insulation, so buyers should treat a technical survey as a standard step before purchase. The 6 m² terrace with sea views is a private outdoor space attached to the living area; its south orientation improves usability for much of the year. The building's lift is a functional asset given the property's age, since many 1970s blocks in Spanish coastal towns were built without one. Overall, the finishing level should be read as adequate and maintained rather than renovated to contemporary specification. Cosmetic refreshment, kitchen, bathroom or flooring, may be considered by future owners, and the purchase price leaves some margin for such works compared with newer stock in the same city.
The asking price is fixed at €169,990 for the whole property, equivalent to roughly €1,619 per m² of built area. As an existing home, there is no price list or unit variation; the quoted figure applies to this specific apartment with its three bedrooms, one bathroom and 6 m² terrace. Annual local property tax (IBI) is recorded at €225.66. Comparable key-ready apartments in Torrevieja currently list from approximately €155,000 to €169,000, which places this property at the upper end of that small sample. Availability is immediate, given the key-ready status; the usual completion timeline after an accepted offer applies.
Daily life around this apartment follows an urban coastal rhythm. The supermarket sits roughly 350 metres from the front door and a pharmacy slightly further, so routine shopping rarely requires a car. Within a 2 km radius the area counts 168 restaurants, 44 cafés, 24 banks and 27 pharmacies, giving a well-stocked everyday environment that stays active year-round rather than only in the holiday season. The neighbourhood itself is flat, at about 20 metres above sea level, and the gradient towards the beach is under 1%, which makes the walk to Playa del Cura, about 1.2 km as the crow flies, undemanding. The apartment's south orientation means the terrace receives sun through the middle of the day, and the 6 m² surface is sized for a small table and chairs rather than extensive outdoor living. With three bedrooms, the layout suits a family, a household that regularly hosts guests, or owners who want a spare room for work or storage. The single bathroom is the main constraint for larger households. The building's lift matters for upper-floor access, and the 1970 construction means the property carries the character and dimensions of that era rather than contemporary new-build layouts. Torrevieja's historic centre, the marina at Real Club Náutico (1.1 km) and the sports facilities at Palacio de Deportes Infanta Cristina (1.2 km) are all within a short walk or bike ride, so leisure options are concentrated close by.
The immediate surroundings are urban and service-dense. The supermarket at 354 metres and the pharmacy at 576 metres anchor daily errands within a five-minute walk. Within 2 km, the dataset lists 168 restaurants, 44 cafés, 24 banks, 27 pharmacies, 27 dentists and 3 schools, indicating a complete year-round neighbourhood rather than a seasonal resort strip. Healthcare is available at a hospital 3.4 km away in a direct line. For recreation, the Palacio de Deportes Infanta Cristina sports centre lies 1.2 km away and CF Torrevieja's facilities 1.4 km; a public pool at Piscina Hotel Fontana is 0.9 km away. The Real Club Náutico marina sits 1.1 km from the property. Green and scenic options include the Torre del Moro viewpoint at 3.0 km and La Pinada at 4.0 km. Transport is reasonable for a city of this size: 14 public bus lines serve 50 stops, covering local and regional connections. Cyclists and pedestrians benefit from the flat terrain throughout. The area stays lively in both summer and winter owing to Torrevieja's permanent population of about 98,500, which supports businesses outside the tourist season. The trade-off of the urban location is density: streets near the seafront carry traffic and footfall, and parking in the neighbourhood is on-street unless arranged privately. Buyers used to quiet residential zones should factor this in.
The map shows the apartment's position in Playa del Acequión, just south of Torrevieja's centre. Playa del Cura beach, the marina and the sports centre all fall within a 1.5 km radius, while the salt-lagoon landscape typical of this coast begins just inland. Distances shown are straight-line.

Torrevieja occupies a coastal position on the southern Costa Blanca in the province of Alicante, roughly midway between the cities of Alicante (44 km) and Murcia (39 km), both straight-line figures. Elche, with some 235,000 inhabitants, lies 32 km away. This places the apartment within a dense urban corridor served by Alicante-Elche Airport at 35 km. Within Torrevieja itself, the Playa del Acequión district sits on the southern side of the city centre, close to the marina and the main beaches. Compared with more rural inland alternatives, the location trades tranquillity for walkable services and coastal access.
Beaches are the strongest accessibility feature: Playa del Cura lies 1.2 km away as the crow flies, Platja del Cura the same distance, and the cove Cala del Palangre 1.5 km, all within a 15 to 20 minute walk on flat ground. Alicante-Elche Airport (ALC) is approximately 35 km away in a straight line, normally a 40 to 45 minute drive; Valencia airport is 168 km away and Málaga airport 368 km, making Alicante the practical gateway. Regional cities are within day-trip range: Elche at 32 km, Murcia at 39 km and Alicante city at 44 km, all straight-line distances. Golf requires a car: Club de Golf Villamartín is 8.7 km away, Real Club de Golf Campoamor 10 km and Las Ramblas de Orihuela 11 km. Electric-vehicle charging is limited nearby, the closest listed point is 5.8 km away, with rapid chargers at La Zenia 8.3 km away, so an EV is workable but needs planning. Public transport covers the city with 14 lines and 50 stops, reducing car dependency for local trips. A car remains useful for airport runs, golf and exploring inland areas.

Torrevieja records an average annual temperature of 18.7 °C, with monthly averages ranging from 12 °C in the coolest months to 26 °C in summer, a moderate Mediterranean pattern without extremes. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20 °C or above, lasts about five months, spanning roughly late May to early October. The city sits at just 20 metres above sea level, and the terrain towards the beach slopes at less than 1%, so the surroundings are effectively flat and accessible on foot or by bicycle. The region around Torrevieja includes the La Mata and Torrevieja salt lagoons, which influence local air quality and attract birdlife, although specific nature reserves are not itemised in the property dataset. With 32 local public holidays per year, the municipal calendar is dense with traditions and events. Rainfall concentrates in the cooler months; summers are predominantly dry and sunny, matching the coastal lifestyle the area is known for. For residents, this climate means outdoor living on the south-facing terrace is comfortable for most of the year, with the ceiling fan covering the warmest weeks.

The municipality holds seven Blue Flag beaches, including Cabo Cervera, Cala de las Piteras, El Cura, La Mata and Los Locos, a certification that reflects water quality, safety services and accessibility. The closest of these, El Cura, is about 1.2 km from the apartment as the crow flies. Cala del Palangre, a smaller cove, lies 1.5 km away for quieter swimming. Beyond the sand, recreation options cluster nearby: the Real Club Náutico marina at 1.1 km hosts sailing and waterfront dining; the Palacio de Deportes Infanta Cristina at 1.2 km provides indoor sports; and public pools such as Piscina Hotel Fontana (0.9 km) offer swimming outside the sea season. Golfers have three 18-hole courses within 11 km, Villamartín, Campoamor and Las Ramblas de Orihuela, all a short drive inland. Scenic walks lead to the Torre del Moro viewpoint at 3.0 km, a historic watchtower on the coast. Together these options give residents year-round leisure without leaving the immediate region, from beach days in the five-month warm season to inland golf and hiking in the cooler months.
