This two-bedroom apartment is located in the centre of La Mata, on the southern Costa Blanca, roughly 250 metres from the beach according to the seller. The property dates from 1970 and offers 69 m² of built space on the second floor of a building with a lift. It comprises two bedrooms, one bathroom, a living-dining room and an open-plan kitchen, and is sold fully furnished. The asking price is fixed at €155,000. La Mata sits south of Torrevieja, approximately 30 km from Alicante-Elche airport as the crow flies.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment lies in the heart of La Mata, a coastal district belonging to Torrevieja in the province of Alicante. Platja de l'Eixidor is the nearest beach at 1.4 km in a straight line, with Playa de Cabo Cervera slightly further along the coast. Around fifty restaurants, several pharmacies, banks and cafés operate within a two-kilometre radius, which places daily amenities within walking distance of the front door.
The layout serves straightforward residential needs: two bedrooms, one bathroom, a combined living-dining room and an open kitchen within 69 m². The southeast orientation brings daylight into the main living areas for most of the day. A private terrace with sea views and air conditioning are included, and the building has a lift, which matters for access on the second floor. Fitted wardrobes provide storage in the bedrooms.
This is not a new-build project. The building was completed in 1970 and the apartment is key-ready in a furnished condition, meaning completion can take place shortly after purchase. Buyers comparing with newly built developments nearby should note that construction methods, insulation standards and communal facilities reflect the period of construction rather than current new-build specifications. Any renovation would be at the buyer's initiative and cost.
The property has one bathroom only and no private parking, storage room or communal pool is listed in the available data. As a 1970 building, it predates modern energy-efficiency requirements. There is no mention of a garden or private outdoor space beyond the terrace. Buyers relying on the lift should verify its maintenance status and community fees before committing. Seasonal rental management is offered as an option, not a guarantee, and rental income depends on market conditions.
This property fits a buyer whose priority is proximity to the sea at a modest budget, and who accepts an older building in exchange for a lower entry price. A practical profile is a second-home buyer from northern Europe seeking a furnished, walk-in-ready base near the beach: the layout of two bedrooms and one bathroom suits a couple or a small family, and the full furnishing removes the cost and logistics of equipping a property from abroad. Seasonal rental management is offered as an option, so buyers intending to let the apartment during periods they do not use it have an operational route, though returns depend on occupancy and local regulation. The location also suits buyers who prefer not to depend on a car: amenities, the beach and public transport are all within reach on foot. Conversely, the apartment suits buyers less well if they want contemporary construction standards, more than one bathroom, a communal pool, a private parking space or generous floor area. The 55-year-old building implies that renovation, plumbing or electrical updates may arise during ownership, which buyers factoring long-term maintenance into their decision should weigh against the price advantage. For permanent residents, the year-round services, mild winters and flat terrain are relevant; for investors, the comparison should be made against new-build alternatives starting some €5,000 to €14,000 higher nearby, which offer newer specifications but usually without furniture and sea views included at that price level.
The apartment is delivered fully furnished and in what the listing describes as an immaculate condition, ready for immediate occupation. The interior consists of a living-dining room, an open-plan kitchen, two bedrooms with fitted wardrobes and one full bathroom, distributed across 69 m². The photographs show a decorated interior with framed art, a furnished living room opening onto the balcony and a hallway with a console table and mirror, indicating a stylistically consistent, lived-in presentation rather than a stripped shell. Technically, the property includes air conditioning, drinkable water and electricity connections, and a lift serving the second floor. Because the building dates from 1970, the underlying construction standards, wall insulation, window glazing, plumbing and electrical installation, follow the regulations of that era unless individual elements have been modernised, which the available data does not specify. Buyers with an interest in long-term durability should ask the seller or community for documentation on the age of the electrical installation, the boiler or water heater, any recent roof or facade works, and the maintenance record of the lift. The southeast orientation contributes to passive comfort: the main rooms receive sun for the first half of the day, reducing reliance on heating in winter, while air conditioning covers the summer months when average temperatures reach 26°C. The fitted wardrobes compensate partly for the absence of a separate storage room. In summary, the finishing level is a furnished, habitable standard appropriate to a resale apartment; the quality assessment should therefore focus on the condition of the building's communal structure and its systems rather than on the interior decoration alone.
The apartment carries a fixed asking price of €155,000. For this amount, the buyer receives 69 m² of built area, two bedrooms, one bathroom, a private terrace with sea views, air conditioning, a lift in the building and a complete furniture package. Compared with nearby new-build projects, apartments in Torrevieja starting from €160,000 to €169,000, the price sits at the entry level of the local market, which reflects the 1970 construction date and the modest floor area. Availability is immediate: the property is completed and furnished, so the purchase timeline depends on legal checks, financing and notary scheduling rather than on a construction programme. Buyers should budget additionally for purchase costs and possible community fees.
La Mata functions as a year-round residential neighbourhood rather than a purpose-built resort. The apartment's position in its centre places the daily routine on foot: bakeries, pharmacies, banks and a high density of restaurants, around fifty within two kilometres, mean most errands require no car. The beach sits within walking distance, and the terrain between the building and the coast is essentially flat, with a gradient of just 0.4%, which matters for anyone who prefers not to climb hills on the way back from a swim. The second-floor position with a lift balances access and outlook: high enough for the sea views mentioned in the listing, low enough that stairs remain an alternative. The southeast orientation means the terrace and living room receive morning and midday sun, which in a climate averaging 19°C annually and ranging between 12°C in the coolest months and 26°C in summer makes outdoor living practical for much of the year. Life here follows a coastal rhythm. Mornings can start on the terrace; the beach is minutes away; and the waterfront promenades around Platja de l'Eixidor and Cabo Cervera provide the standard evening walking routes. The neighbourhood includes 32 local public holidays per year and an active calendar of events, so the area does not empty out entirely in the off-season, though the population is noticeably quieter outside summer. Public transport covers the wider area with thirteen lines and fifty stops, so trips to Torrevieja centre or further along the coast do not strictly require driving, although a car remains convenient for the airport and inland excursions.
The immediate surroundings are those of a consolidated residential neighbourhood. Within two kilometres, the data lists around fifty restaurants, four pharmacies, two banks, three cafés and two dentists, a density that covers routine needs without leaving La Mata. The beach at Platja de l'Eixidor lies 1.4 km away in a straight line, and Playa de Cabo Cervera and Platja de les Ortigues are within 2.3 km. Two viewpoints close by, La Pinada at 1.3 km and Torre del Moro at 2.2 km, mark the coastal walking routes. For sport, CF Torrevieja and the Palacio de Deportes Infanta Cristina are both 3.3 km away, and a public swimming pool sits 1.2 km from the apartment. Transport operates on thirteen lines with fifty stops in the area, making bus travel along the coast feasible. Alicante airport lies approximately 30 km away in a straight line, so the actual drive is longer; Alicante city itself is 39 km straight-line, Elche 27 km and Murcia 42 km. An electric-vehicle charging point at the Iberdrola Oasis Center is 3.9 km away. In practice, daily life in La Mata can be lived largely on foot, with a car mainly useful for airport runs and inland trips.
The map shows the apartment's position within central La Mata, between the town's service core and the coastline 1.4 km to the east. Markers indicate the three nearby beaches, the viewpoints along the coast, and the route toward Torrevieja's sports facilities and marinas, giving a visual sense of how compact the daily living radius is.

La Mata occupies the northern coastal edge of Torrevieja on the Costa Blanca, roughly midway between Alicante to the north and the Mar Menor to the south. Within the regional hierarchy, it is a neighbourhood rather than a town: Torrevieja provides the larger services, while Elche (27 km straight-line, some 235,000 inhabitants), Alicante (39 km, around 339,000) and Murcia (42 km, some 463,000) form the major urban anchors, all within an hour's drive. This positions the apartment in the affordable segment of the Costa Blanca market, closer to Alicante airport than most Costa del Sol alternatives and priced well below the Marbella-Andalusia coast.
Accessibility is one of the stronger aspects of this location. The nearest beach, Platja de l'Eixidor, is 1.4 km away as the crow flies, with the route essentially flat at a 0.4% gradient, so walking or cycling to the sea is realistic for most residents. Shops, pharmacies and banks cluster within the neighbourhood itself. Two marinas are within reach: Real Club Náutico at 5.6 km and Port Esportiu Marina de les Dunes at 9.9 km straight-line. Golfers have three courses within fifteen kilometres, Villamartín and La Finca both at 13.0 km, and Real Club de Golf Campoamor at 14.8 km, which means golf requires a short drive rather than being on the doorstep. Alicante-Elche airport is roughly 30 km in a straight line, the nearest of three airports; Valencia and Málaga lie considerably further at 164 km and 371 km respectively. Public transport is reasonably developed for a settlement of this size, with thirteen lines and fifty stops, giving car-free residents a workable alternative for regional trips, though frequency outside the summer season should be verified.

The climate data points to a typical southern-Costa Blanca pattern: an annual average temperature of 19.0°C, monthly averages ranging from 12°C in winter to 26°C in summer, and a swimming season of about five months during which sea water stays at or above 20°C. The elevation is 6 metres above sea level with a nearly flat gradient toward the coast, so there are no stairs or slopes between the apartment and the beach. This combination, mild winters, warm but not extreme summers and flat terrain, favours year-round outdoor activity, from beach visits between roughly May and September to walking the coastal paths in the cooler months. The nearby viewpoints at La Pinada and Torre del Moro indicate pine groves and cliff-top paths within twenty minutes' walk, adding green space to the immediate environment. The low elevation means heat accumulates less than inland, though second-floor apartments with southeast orientation will benefit from morning sun and afternoon shade patterns that air conditioning supplements in July and August.

Three beaches sit within 2.3 km of the apartment: Platja de l'Eixidor at 1.4 km, Playa de Cabo Cervera at 1.7 km and Platja de les Ortigues at 2.3 km, all measured in a straight line. This spread gives residents a choice between the busier central stretches of La Mata and quieter coves toward Cabo Cervera. For water-based recreation, Real Club Náutico lies 5.6 km away and Port Esportiu Marina de les Dunes 9.9 km. Land-based options include two sports centres at 3.3 km, a public swimming pool at 1.2 km and a network of viewpoints along the coast, La Pinada, Torre del Moro and Mirador El Moncayo, that double as walking destinations. Golf completes the recreational picture: Villamartín and La Finca courses at 13.0 km and Campoamor at 14.8 km are all within a fifteen to twenty-minute drive. For a property of this size and price, the density of beach and leisure options within a short radius is a defining characteristic of the location.

Within its immediate market, this apartment competes with new-build developments in Torrevieja and its southern fringe. Apartments Palangre Beach in Torrevieja starts from €160,000, and Edificio Sun & Center, also key-ready in Torrevieja, starts from €169,000. Both are roughly €5,000 to €14,000 above this property's fixed price of €155,000, a modest gap on paper, but one that buys contemporary construction standards, better insulation and typically communal facilities that a 1970 building does not offer. Further south and inland, Oasis Laguna 2 Phase II in Urbanización El Raso starts from €227,000, some €72,000 more, positioned as a higher-specification resort-style development. Against these comparables, the La Mata apartment's case rests on three factors: location maturity, immediacy and completeness. La Mata is a consolidated neighbourhood with year-round commerce, whereas several new-build zones around Torrevieja are still filling in their service base. The apartment is available now, furnished, with no construction or delivery phase to wait through. And it includes sea views and a terrace, features that new-build entry units at comparable prices often lack or position as upgrades. The trade-offs are equally concrete: one bathroom, no listed parking or communal pool, and a building whose systems may need attention over a long ownership horizon. In the wider regional picture, the southern Costa Blanca remains one of Spain's more accessible coastal markets, with Alicante-Elche airport about 30 km away in a straight line and median provincial incomes around €15,750 per year, which supports steady local rental demand alongside the international second-home market. Buyers choosing between this apartment and the new-build alternatives should treat the roughly €10,000 difference as the price of moving from resale to new construction, and weigh furniture, views and immediate availability against warranty coverage and modern efficiency.
