This is a completed one-bedroom bungalow of approximately 50 m² in Torrevieja, Alicante province, on the southern Costa Blanca. The property dates from 1970 and has been renovated, with updated electrical installations reported. It is situated in a built-up urban area roughly 1.2, 1.3 km from Playa del Cura, with a supermarket at about 354 metres and a pharmacy within 600 metres. Torrevieja is a city of around 98,500 inhabitants (INE 2025), meaning daily services, healthcare, public transport and commerce are all part of the immediate setting rather than distant facilities. The asking price is €118,000, positioned below most comparable new-build listings in the same municipality.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property lies within the continuous urban fabric of Torrevieja, a coastal city on the Costa Blanca. Playa del Cura is approximately 1.2, 1.3 km away on a route with a gradient under 1%, effectively flat terrain. The nearest supermarket is about 354 metres and a pharmacy about 576 metres. Hospital facilities are around 3.4 km away. Public transport comprises 14 lines with some 50 stops across the municipality.
The dwelling offers one bedroom and one bathroom across roughly 50 m², with a front patio and a rooftop solarium as private outdoor space, plus a skylight in the bedroom. This layout serves single-occupancy or two-person use, typically as a holiday base, a lock-up-and-leave second residence, or a small permanent home. The scale suits buyers prioritising location and walkability over internal floor area.
The property is not new-build: construction dates from 1970 (completion date is indicative) and the unit has since been renovated, including replacement electrical wiring according to the listing. The build status is recorded as complete and the home is described as move-in ready. Buyers should treat the 1970 date as a factor to verify through technical inspection, particularly regarding structure and energy performance.
The property offers one bedroom, one bathroom and 50 m² of floor area; it does not provide additional bedrooms, a private garden, private parking, a communal pool, or a lift. It is a resale unit from 1970, not a new development with warranty cover. EV charging is not on-site; the nearest charging point is roughly 5.8 km away. Golf courses are 8.7 km or more from the property.
This property aligns with several recognisable buyer situations. The first is the single person or couple seeking a low-cost foothold on the Spanish coast, where the €118,000 entry point sits well below new-build alternatives in the same municipality. The second is the holiday-home buyer who wants a lock-up-and-leave unit: 50 m², one bathroom, renovated and move-in ready, with a solarium for the long sunny season, is a manageable footprint for part-year use. The third is the buyer who does not want to depend on a car: a supermarket at 354 metres, a pharmacy at 576 metres, the beach at 1.2 km and fourteen public transport lines make car-free living practicable, which is not the case in many coastal developments further from town centres. The fourth is the small-scale investor: one-bedroom units near the Torrevieja seafront have an established rental market, and the property's condition reduces immediate capital outlay after purchase. It is less suited to families needing multiple bedrooms, to buyers requiring private parking or a communal pool, or to those seeking new-build warranty cover; the 1970 construction date means an independent technical survey is a standard step in due diligence. Buyers prioritising golf-side living should also note the nearest course is 8.7 km away, so this is a beach-and-city proposition rather than a golf resort one. Finally, it suits buyers who value year-round urban infrastructure, hospitals at 3.4 km, banks, dentists and schools within two kilometres, over the quieter but more seasonal character of outlying residential estates.
The listing describes the property as fully renovated with new electrical installations throughout, which is a significant point for a 1970 building: electrical systems of that era typically require replacement to meet current standards, and the reported rewiring removes one of the most common cost items in older Spanish apartments and bungalows. Photographic analysis of the listing images shows a modern interior: a living room furnished in a contemporary style, a kitchen with white cabinet fronts and stainless-steel appliances, a dining area with fridge and microwave, and a bathroom with a bathtub and space for a washing machine, indicating the laundry function is integrated into the bathroom rather than a separate utility room. The bedroom features a skylight, which adds daylight and ventilation to an internal or single-aspect room, though skylights require periodic maintenance and should be checked for sealing and insulation quality. The property is classified in the listing as contemporary in category. Buyers should note what the available data does not confirm: no energy performance certificate rating is provided, no details on insulation levels, window glazing type (single versus double), air conditioning or heating systems are specified, and the condition of plumbing, roof waterproofing, relevant given the rooftop solarium, and community structure should be verified through an independent technical inspection (survey). Because the building dates from 1970, the survey should pay particular attention to the structural slab, damp proofing and the legal status of any rooftop terrace use. Renovation quality in resale units varies from cosmetic to thorough; the reported electrical upgrade and the photographic evidence of renewed kitchen and bathroom fitments point toward a substantive refurbishment, but documentation of works (invoices, certificates, habitation licence) should be requested during the purchase process.
The asking price is €118,000. Comparable listings in the same municipality provide context: Apartments Palangre Beach in Torrevieja starts at €160,000, Edificio Sun & Center at €169,000, and Oasis Laguna 2 Phase II in Urbanización El Raso at €227,000. Against these, the property is positioned at the lower end of the local market, which is consistent with its age (1970), size (50 m²) and single-bedroom layout. The price reflects a renovated resale unit rather than new-build construction. As with all listings, the figure is an asking price from which terms may be negotiated, and purchase costs (transfer tax, notary, registry) will be additional.
Daily life around this bungalow is shaped by its position inside a fully consolidated city district rather than a purpose-built resort. Within a two-kilometre radius, available data lists 168 restaurants, 44 cafés, 27 pharmacies, 24 banks and 27 dentists, which translates into a routine where groceries, pharmacy visits and eating out are conducted on foot. The nearest supermarket sits about 354 metres from the door and a pharmacy about 576 metres, so a car is not required for errands. The morning pattern might involve coffee on the front patio followed by a fifteen-minute walk to Park La Sieta for its green spaces and sports facilities; the property data confirms this park is within walking distance. The beach at Playa del Cura lies roughly 1.2, 1.3 km away on flat terrain, reachable on foot or by bicycle, with Cala del Palangre at about 1.5 km as an alternative. The rooftop solarium extends usable space upwards, which matters given the modest 50 m² internal footprint; with a recorded regional average of roughly 3,850 sunshine hours per year and a mean temperature of 18.7°C, this outdoor level functions as a de facto second living room for much of the year. The residential street context is urban rather than rural: expect year-round neighbours, municipal services and the ambient activity typical of a city of nearly 100,000 residents. For swimming, sea temperatures of 20°C or above last about five months, so the beach forms part of the routine from late spring through early autumn, while winter use shifts toward walking, sport and indoor amenities such as the Palacio de Deportes Infanta Cristina, approximately 1.2 km away. Seasonal population fluctuation is a characteristic of Torrevieja generally; the area is busier in July and August and quieter in winter months, though the urban service base remains open year-round.
The surroundings are those of an established Torrevieja neighbourhood rather than an isolated development. Within a two-kilometre radius, data records 168 restaurants, 44 cafés, 27 pharmacies, 24 banks, 27 dentists and 3 schools, an amenity density that supports full-year residence. The nearest supermarket is 354 metres away and a pharmacy 576 metres, making the daily shop a short walk. Playa del Cura beach is approximately 1.2, 1.3 km from the property on a route with a recorded gradient of 0.8%, meaning the walk to the sea is flat and manageable for most mobility levels. Healthcare infrastructure includes a hospital about 3.4 km away. Sports and leisure facilities within easy reach include the Palacio de Deportes Infanta Cristina at 1.2 km, CF Torrevieja at 1.4 km, the Real Club Náutico marina at 1.1 km, and public swimming pools at 0.9 and 1.2 km. The municipality's public transport network of 14 lines and roughly 50 stops provides connectivity across the city, including toward Orihuela Costa and surrounding districts. For shopping beyond the neighbourhood, the Habaneras commercial centre is a short drive. The urban character means ambient noise and activity are higher than in rural or resort-estate settings, and summer months bring seasonal visitor traffic, while winter months remain active given the resident population of nearly 100,000.
The map shows the property within Torrevieja's urban grid, west of the Playa del Cura seafront. Key reference points: the beach at 1.2 km, the supermarket within 400 metres, the hospital at 3.4 km to the north-east, and the golf corridor of Villamartín, Campoamor and Las Ramblas clustered 8.7, 11 km to the south. Alicante-Elche Airport lies roughly 35 km north.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Torrevieja occupies the southern stretch of the Costa Blanca in Alicante province, between the city of Alicante (roughly 45, 50 km north) and the Orihuela Costa and Mar Menor areas to the south. Within Torrevieja's own market, this property is positioned inside the consolidated urban centre close to Playa del Cura, distinguishing it from outlying residential estates such as Urbanización El Raso or the Orihuela Costa developments where comparable new-build projects are concentrated. The location trades resort-style communal facilities for immediate walkable access to city services, beaches and transport. The Spanish-speaking character of the municipality and its population of nearly 100,000 give it the service weight of a small city rather than a resort village.
Distances from the property: Playa del Cura beach 1.2, 1.3 km (walkable in roughly 15, 20 minutes); Cala del Palangre 1.5 km; supermarket 354 m; pharmacy 576 m; hospital 3.4 km; Park La Siesta within a 15-minute walk. Golf courses are further out: Club de Golf Villamartín at 8.7 km, Real Club de Golf Campoamor at 10 km and Las Ramblas de Orihuela at 11 km, all reachable by car in 12, 18 minutes. The nearest EV charging point is 5.8 km away, with additional chargers at La Zenia (8.3 km) and elsewhere in the municipality. Alicante-Elche Airport (ALC) is approximately 35 km in a straight line, typically a 40, 50 minute drive, making it the practical arrival airport; Valencia airport is roughly 168 km away and Málaga around 368 km. Regional mobility benefits from the AP-7 motorway corridor connecting Torrevieja with Alicante to the north and the Mar Menor and Murcia region to the south.

Torrevieja records a mean annual temperature of 18.7°C with a seasonal range of roughly 12, 26°C, a climate that supports outdoor use of the patio and rooftop solarium for most of the year. Historical sunshine hours total approximately 3,854 per year, a high figure even by Spanish coastal standards, which directly affects how the solarium and outdoor spaces function in daily life. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures at or above 20°C, lasts around five months, typically late May to October. The property sits at roughly 20 metres above sea level with a slope to the beach of 0.8%, meaning the terrain is effectively flat and no significant inclines separate the home from the coast, relevant for cycling, walking and accessibility. The region's salt lagoons (the Lagunas de La Mata y Torrevieja natural park) lie north of the city and contribute to the dry, low-rainfall climate characteristic of the southern Costa Blanca. Buyers sensitive to summer heat should note that July and August regularly exceed the annual mean, making some form of cooling (portable or fixed) a consideration the listing data does not specify.

Torrevieja holds Blue Flag status for seven beaches, including El Cura, Los Locos, La Mata, Cabo Cervera and Cala de las Piteras, an above-average concentration for a single municipality. The nearest beach to the property, Playa del Cura (1.2 km), is among the Blue Flag awardees, meaning it meets criteria for water quality, safety services and accessibility. Cala del Palangre at 1.5 km offers a smaller cove alternative. Recreational infrastructure beyond the beach includes the Real Club Náutico marina at 1.1 km, the Palacio de Deportes Infanta Cristina sports centre at 1.2 km, CF Torrevieja football facilities at 1.4 km, and public swimming pools at 0.9 km and 1.2 km. The Torre del Moro viewpoint, 3.0 km away, and La Pinada at 4.0 km provide walking destinations with coastal and pine-wood settings respectively. For golfers, three 18-hole courses, Villamartín (8.7 km), Campoamor (10 km) and Las Ramblas de Orihuela (11 km), sit within a 15-minute drive along the Orihuela Costa corridor. Water sports, diving and sailing operate from the marinas and coves along this stretch of coastline.

Within the Torrevieja municipal market, this bungalow competes on price rather than novelty. The three closest comparable listings are all newer or new-build products at materially higher entry points: Apartments Palangre Beach (from €160,000) and Edificio Sun & Center (from €169,000) in Torrevieja itself, and Oasis Laguna 2 Phase II in Urbanización El Raso (from €227,000). The spread means this property asks roughly €42,000 to €109,000 less than the alternatives, a gap explained by its 1970 construction date, its 50 m² single-bedroom footprint, and the absence of new-build communal facilities such as pools, gardens and parking. What the newer products offer in specification, this property offers in location mechanics: a supermarket at 354 metres, a pharmacy at 576 metres, a Blue Flag beach at 1.2 km, and a city transport network of 14 lines. Estates like El Raso and the Orihuela Costa golf corridor developments typically require a car for daily errands; this address does not. Against the wider region, the southern Costa Blanca around Torrevieja generally prices below the Marbella-centred Costa del Sol for equivalent proximity to the sea, while offering comparable sunshine hours (about 3,854 annually) and a longer Blue Flag beach list than most municipalities of similar size. For a buyer weighing budget against walkability, the trade-off here is explicit: older fabric and smaller space in exchange for an urban, year-round service environment and the lowest entry price among its local comparables. Buyers comparing across the region should factor in renovation diligence costs for a 1970 build when benchmarking against turn-key new-build pricing.
