This is a completed 92 m² resale apartment in Torrevieja, Alicante province, on the southern Costa Blanca. The property offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a private balcony, air conditioning and lift access, situated in an established urban residential area roughly 1.2, 1.3 km from Playa del Cura. The building dates from 1970, and the apartment is presented in habitable condition with scope for cosmetic updating. Everyday amenities, a supermarket at 354 m, pharmacy at 576 m, and a dense concentration of restaurants, cafés and banks within two kilometres, support year-round living without a car. The asking price is €188,000.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits within Torrevieja's built-up urban core, approximately 1.2 km from Playa del Cura on a gradient of under one per cent. The area is fully developed residential and commercial territory, not a resort fringe: hospitals, schools and 14 public transport lines operate within normal city distances. Alicante-Elche airport lies roughly 35 km away by straight line.
With three bedrooms and two full bathrooms across 92 m², the layout accommodates families, guest visits or a home office. Air conditioning and built-in wardrobes are installed. The balcony adds outdoor space to a combined living-dining area. The intermediate floor with lift removes stair dependency, and the walkable amenity base suits households that prefer not to drive daily.
This is not a new-build project. The building was completed in 1970 and the apartment is delivered in its current finished state, available for immediate occupation. No construction phase, payment schedule or off-plan risk applies. Any personalisation, kitchen renewal, bathroom updating or redecoration, would be carried out by the buyer after purchase at their own cost and timing.
The property does not include a swimming pool, garden, private parking space or storage room according to the available data. It is a 1970 building, so it lacks modern energy certification standards and recent-build technical specifications. There is no mention of communal facilities, sea views or a tourist licence. Golf courses are 8.7 km or more away, and the nearest EV charging point is 5.8 km distant.

This property matches several recognisable situations. A family seeking a year-round base on the Costa Blanca benefits from three schools within two kilometres, a hospital at 3.4 km and the second bathroom, a practical feature for households with children or teenagers. Buyers planning long seasonal stays, several winter months rather than summer fortnights, gain from a city that operates at full service level in January, unlike seasonal resort zones. Households reducing car dependency will find the walkable amenity base and 50 bus stops across 14 lines sufficient for most routines. A couple hosting visiting children or grandchildren can use the third bedroom as guest accommodation or a study. Investors considering the Torrevieja rental market should note the layout and central position, while verifying licence requirements independently. Conversely, the property suits situations poorly where buyers expect new-build energy performance, on-site parking, communal pools or a quiet residential suburb, none of these form part of the offering. Buyers focused on golf-centric living would face 8.7, 11 km drives to the nearest courses. The realistic buyer profile is pragmatic: someone who values size, bathrooms and urban convenience over modern construction and resort amenities, and who accepts a 1970 building in exchange for a central address at under €190,000.
The apartment is described as being in good condition with a functional kitchen, built-in wardrobes and pre-installed air conditioning, meaning it can be occupied without immediate works. The photographic record, a single bedroom with bed and nightstand, a second bedroom with dresser and window, a dining area with table and chairs, an interior hallway and an empty room with curtains, indicates furnished or semi-furnished presentation in a conventional Mediterranean residential style, with at least one room left unassigned. As a 1970 construction, the building predates the technical requirements of modern Spanish building codes. This has practical implications buyers should weigh: thermal insulation standards will be lower than in post-2006 buildings, single-glazed or early double-glazed windows are plausible, and energy efficiency will fall well below the A, B ratings of new coastal developments, no label is stated in the data. Electrical and plumbing installations, unless renewed by previous owners, may date partially to earlier decades; a technical inspection before purchase is standard practice for properties of this age in Spain. The positive structural factors are the exterior position with open views, the lift, and the intermediate floor, which moderates both stair use and summer roof heat. Renovation potential exists: the €188,000 price leaves headroom against comparable new-build three-bedroom pricing for buyers prepared to invest in a kitchen or bathroom refresh, provided they cost such works explicitly rather than assuming them.
The asking price is €188,000 for a completed, immediately available 92 m² apartment with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, approximately €2,040 per square metre. Within Torrevieja, comparable listings include apartments at Palangre Beach from €160,000, Edificio Sun & Center key-ready units from €169,000, and Panorama Beach from €155,000, placing this property in the mid-range of the local three-bedroom segment. The premium over cheaper comparables is explained by size, the second bathroom and the central urban position rather than by newness. As a 1970 resale, the price excludes any new-build guarantees; buyers should budget separately for modernisation if desired.
Daily life here follows an urban coastal rhythm rather than a resort pattern. The supermarket sits 354 metres from the door, the pharmacy under 600 metres, and the immediate two-kilometre radius contains 168 restaurants, 44 cafés, 24 banks and 27 pharmacies, figures that reflect a functioning year-round Spanish city of nearly 99,000 inhabitants rather than a seasonal urbanisation. The beach at Playa del Cura is a 1.3 km walk on flat terrain, close enough for a routine evening stroll or morning swim without making the apartment itself beachfront. The living-dining area connects to a private balcony, which functions as the main outdoor space; there is no terrace, garden or pool within the property package. Mornings would typically involve walking to shops or cafés; the Palacio de Deportes Infanta Cristina sports centre and the Real Club Náutico marina both lie within 1.2 km for recreation. Out of the summer season the neighbourhood does not empty out the way tourist zones do, Torrevieja is a permanent administrative and commercial centre, so services, medical facilities and transport continue at winter levels. The three-bedroom, two-bathroom configuration with lift access suits both permanent residence and extended seasonal stays, and the flat terrain and 50 nearby bus stops make the location manageable without a car for most routine errands.
The immediate environment is dense urban Spain, not a gated coastal urbanisation. Within a two-kilometre radius, residents have access to 168 restaurants, 44 cafés, 24 banks, 27 pharmacies and 27 dentists, a service density typical of a provincial city centre. The nearest supermarket is 354 m away; the hospital lies at 3.4 km, reachable by car in roughly ten minutes or by public transport. Recreation is close at hand: the Real Club Náutico marina (1.1 km), the Palacio de Deportes Infanta Cristina (1.2 km), CF Torrevieja football facilities (1.4 km) and two swimming pool complexes under 1.3 km. The trade-off of a central Torrevieja address is activity rather than seclusion: the city hosts 32 local holidays and festivals per year and carries a population of 98,533, so summer months bring seasonal visitor traffic to streets and beaches. Public transport comprises 14 lines and 50 stops, giving the neighbourhood genuine car-optional status. For outdoor orientation, the Torre del Moro viewpoint (3 km) and the La Pinada green area (4 km) provide walking destinations beyond the urban grid. EV owners should note the nearest documented charging point is 5.8 km away, with faster networks at 7.5 km and beyond, a factor if electric mobility is planned.
The map shows the apartment's position within central Torrevieja: the beach and marina to the east within 1.3 km, the supermarket and pharmacy within a few streets, and the golf corridor of Villamartín and Campoamor to the south. Note the flat terrain throughout, the entire area lies within 20 m of sea level.

Torrevieja occupies the southern coastal stretch of Alicante province, between Santa Pola to the north and the Orihuela Costa urbanisations to the south, roughly 35 km from Alicante city and 45 minutes from its airport. Within this corridor, the city functions as the service and commercial hub: where Orihuela Costa consists largely of residential tourist urbanisations, Torrevieja maintains year-round municipal infrastructure, hospitals and a permanent population of nearly 99,000. For this apartment, that means an urban address inside the city proper rather than an edge urbanisation, with the Orihuela Costa golf courses and the La Zenia Boulevard shopping area reachable within a 10, 15 minute drive south.
Distances by straight line: Playa del Cura and Platja del Cura lie 1.2, 1.3 km away, with Cala del Palangre at 1.4, 1.5 km; all Blue Flag beaches, El Cura, Los Locos, Cabo Cervera, La Mata, Cala de las Piteras among them, seven in total around Torrevieja, are within short driving range. Golf requires a vehicle: Club de Golf Villamartín is 8.7, 8.8 km, Real Club de Golf Campoamor 10, 10.7 km, and Las Ramblas de Orihuela 11 km. Alicante-Elche Airport (ALC) lies approximately 35 km away, a drive of roughly 40, 45 minutes, which is the principal international gateway; Valencia (168 km) and Málaga (368 km) are secondary options. Locally, the supermarket (354 m), pharmacy (576 m) and hospital (3.4 km) define the daily service triangle, and the marina and sports centre both sit within 1.2 km.

Torrevieja records approximately 3,854 sunshine hours per year, a figure higher than most of the Spanish Mediterranean coast, with an average annual temperature of 18.7°C and a seasonal range of roughly 12, 26°C. The sea warms to 20°C or above for about five months per year, defining a swim season that runs from late spring into early autumn. The city sits at only 20 m above sea level with a slope to the beach of 0.8 per cent, meaning flat walking conditions throughout the neighbourhood, relevant for older residents or anyone avoiding hillside development. Winters are mild by northern European standards, though the apartment's 1970 construction means heating in the cooler months relies on the installed air conditioning and any supplementary units rather than modern insulation. The climate supports year-round outdoor use of the balcony and the coastal promenade, and the nearby salt lagoons of the Torrevieja area contribute to the dry, low-rainfall profile typical of this stretch of the Costa Blanca.

Torrevieja holds seven Blue Flag beaches, an unusually high concentration for a single municipality: El Cura, the nearest to this apartment at 1.2 km, Los Locos, Cabo Cervera, La Mata, Cala de las Piteras and others. The Blue Flag designation certifies water quality, safety services and accessibility, and applies consistently along the city's coastline. Playa del Cura functions as the main urban beach with full promenade services; Cala del Palangre at 1.5 km offers a smaller cove alternative. Beyond swimming, recreation includes the Real Club Náutico marina (1.1 km) for sailing and water activities, the Palacio de Deportes Infanta Cristina (1.2 km) as the city's principal indoor sports facility, and CF Torrevieja grounds at 1.4 km. Golfers have three 18-hole courses within 8.7, 11 km: Villamartín, Campoamor and Las Ramblas de Orihuela, all established courses of the Orihuela Costa golf corridor. Swimmers preferring pools find two complexes within 1.3 km of the apartment.

Within Torrevieja's apartment market, this €188,000 listing sits above the entry segment but below new-build pricing. Direct comparables include Palangre Beach apartments from €160,000, key-ready units at Edificio Sun & Center from €169,000, and Panorama Beach from €155,000. Those three are positioned closer to the beachfront at Playa del Palangre/Cura area; this property trades waterfront proximity for a larger 92 m² floor plan with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, a configuration the cheaper comparables typically do not match at equivalent prices. Set against the wider region, Torrevieja differs from the Orihuela Costa urbanisations to the south: those offer newer resort-style buildings with pools and parking, but thinner year-round services and greater summer/winter population swings. Torrevieja city, with 98,533 residents, three schools within two kilometres of this apartment, 27 pharmacies and a hospital at 3.4 km, provides municipal continuity that seasonal zones lack. Against the northern Costa Blanca, Benidorm, Alicante city, Torrevieja prices run lower per square metre while retaining city-scale amenities. For buyers comparing a 1970 resale against new coastal developments further along the coast at €2,500, 3,000 per m², this property's roughly €2,040 per m² reflects both its age and its size advantage; the decision effectively weighs modern construction standards against space, location and the absence of community pool and parking infrastructure.
