This renovated ground-floor apartment is located in La Mata, on the Costa Blanca South near Torrevieja. The property offers 80 m² of living space with two bedrooms, a modern bathroom, an additional versatile room, and both a front and rear terrace. The asking price is a fixed €239,995 and the home is key-ready, allowing immediate occupancy. The nearest beach, Platja de l'Eixidor, lies approximately 1.4 km away as the crow flies. Daily amenities including restaurants, pharmacies and banks are concentrated within a two-kilometre radius, and Alicante-Elche airport is roughly 30 km in a straight line.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
La Mata is a coastal village on the southern Costa Blanca, positioned between Torrevieja and the salt lagoons. The apartment sits on a ground floor in a built-up residential area at 6 m above sea level, on flat terrain with a gradient of 0.4% towards the sea. Distances cited here are straight-line measurements; actual road distances are longer.
The layout serves practical living: an open-plan lounge with a one-wall kitchen, two rear-facing bedrooms, a modern bathroom, and a flexible extra room usable as a third bedroom, office or storage. Front and rear terraces provide outdoor space on two sides of the home, which suits both permanent residence and holiday use.
This is not a new-build development. The property is an existing apartment completed in 1970 and has since been renovated. It is offered key-ready, meaning no construction phase or delivery wait applies; the buyer can proceed directly to completion and occupation once the purchase is finalised.
Based on the available data, the property has no private pool, no dedicated parking space, and no communal facilities such as a gym or garden. It offers one bathroom only. The building dates from 1970, so construction standards of that period apply despite the internal renovation. No plot or outdoor land beyond the terraces is included.

This property matches several recognisable buyer situations. A first category is the buyer of a second home who wants a property that can be used immediately after purchase; the key-ready status and two terraces support that use without renovation works. A second category is the permanent resident, possibly a retired couple, who values a walkable neighbourhood with pharmacies, banks and medical services within two kilometres, and who prefers a ground-floor home without stairs. The two bedrooms plus flexible third room also suit a small family or a household that occasionally receives guests. A third category is the investor: an 80 m² renovated apartment near the coast in La Mata can serve as a rental asset, where the fixed purchase price makes the yield calculation straightforward. Situations where the property fits less well are equally concrete. Households requiring two bathrooms, a private pool or private parking will not find those features here. Buyers seeking new-build warranty coverage should note the building dates from 1970. Buyers wanting seclusion or panoramic views should also adjust expectations: this is an urban coastal setting at sea level, not an elevated or rural location. In short, the property suits buyers who prioritise location, readiness and price transparency over space, facilities and building age.
The apartment has been renovated and is described as move-in ready, which is consistent with the photographic material: a modern open-plan kitchen integrated into the lounge, a contemporary bathroom, and renewed interior finishes. The layout places the two bedrooms at the rear of the property, separated from the living zone, while the additional room is flexible in use. Because the building originates from 1970, the renovation applies to the interior and installations within the apartment; the structural shell, common areas and building services stem from the original construction period unless documentation proves otherwise. Buyers are advised to verify which elements were renewed, electrics, plumbing, glazing, air conditioning, and to request the corresponding certificates and invoices. The one-wall kitchen configuration limits worktop and storage length compared with a galley or L-shaped kitchen; the practical consequence is that cooking and living occupy the same visual space, which some users prefer and others find restrictive. The terraces are tiled patios with fencing, suitable for outdoor dining and drying laundry. No information is available in the data about an energy performance certificate value, insulation levels, or heating and cooling systems; these points should be confirmed during a viewing. Community fees, annual property tax (IBI) and waste charges are likewise not specified in the available data and belong on the due-diligence list for any offer.
The asking price is a fixed €239,995 for this specific apartment; it is not a starting price from which other units vary. For context within the wider area, comparable new-build projects are listed from €160,000 in Torrevieja (Palangre Beach), from €169,000 (Edificio Sun & Center) and from €227,000 in Urbanización El Raso (Oasis Laguna 2, Phase II). Those figures concern new construction with different specifications, so they are indicative of the market band rather than a direct comparison of like-for-like properties. What this home offers in exchange for its price is immediacy: a fully renovated, key-ready property that can be occupied or let out directly after purchase, without construction risk or delivery timelines.
Daily life in this apartment revolves around a compact, walkable coastal neighbourhood. The ground-floor position means no stairs are part of the daily routine, and the two terraces allow morning use on one side of the home and afternoon or evening use on the other. The open-plan lounge with the one-wall kitchen keeps the main living area as a single space, which works for couples and small households but means cooking and living share one zone. The two rear bedrooms are positioned away from the street side, which generally reduces street noise in the sleeping areas, while the extra room can absorb functions that often lack space in an 80 m² home: a work-from-home desk, guest bed, or storage for beach and sports equipment. The immediate surroundings are urban rather than resort-like. Within two kilometres, the data lists around fifty restaurants, four pharmacies, two banks, three cafés and two dentists, which covers most daily needs without leaving the area. The beach at Platja de l'Eixidor is about 1.4 km away in a straight line, walkable for most residents and a short drive otherwise. La Pinada viewpoint at 1.3 km and Torre del Moro at 2.2 km indicate the presence of green and coastal walking routes close to the home. The area sits at sea level on flat terrain, so no physical effort is involved in reaching shops or the coast. The neighbourhood's rhythm follows the Mediterranean calendar: busy and lively in the summer months, considerably calmer outside the season, when a portion of the tourist-oriented businesses reduces opening hours.
The immediate environment is dense with daily amenities: fifty restaurants, four pharmacies, two banks, three cafés and two dentists all fall within a two-kilometre radius of the apartment. That concentration means groceries, medical needs and cash points are reachable on foot for most residents, which reduces dependence on a car for routine errands. The nearest beach, Platja de l'Eixidor, lies 1.4 km away in a straight line, with Playa de Cabo Cervera at 1.7 km and Platja de les Ortigues at 2.3 km, giving a choice of coastal spots within short range. For sports and leisure infrastructure, the data lists CF Torrevieja and the Palacio de Deportes Infanta Cristina sports centre both at 3.3 km, and a public swimming pool at 1.2 km. Two marinas, Real Club Náutico at 5.6 km and Port Esportiu Marina de les Dunes at 9.9 km, serve sailing and water sports. Public transport is well represented for a settlement of this size: 13 lines and 50 stops, which supports car-free living outside peak summer demand. An EV charging point (Iberdrola Oasis Center) is 3.9 km away, relevant for electric vehicle owners given the absence of private parking at the property itself.

La Mata occupies a position on the southern Costa Blanca, administratively part of the Alicante province, between Torrevieja and Guardamar del Segura. The settlement functions as a residential coastal village rather than a city; its economy and rhythm are tied to the tourist season and the presence of both long-term residents and holiday homeowners. Larger cities frame the region: Elche at 27 km, Alicante at 39 km and Murcia at 42 km, all straight-line distances. This places the apartment within easy reach of three urban economies while remaining in a markedly smaller-scale living environment.
The property's regional accessibility is anchored by Alicante-Elche airport (ALC), approximately 30 km away in a straight line, one of the principal airports on the Spanish Mediterranean coast. Valencia airport lies roughly 164 km away and Malaga-Costa del Sol about 371 km, making Alicante the practical gateway. By car, the AP-7 and N-332 corridor connects La Mata with Torrevieja, Guardamar del Segura and the wider Costa Blanca; all distance figures given here are straight-line and road distances are longer. Within the region, Elche (234,765 inhabitants) is 27 km away, Alicante city (339,322 inhabitants) 39 km and Murcia (462,979 inhabitants) 42 km, placing three substantial urban centres within an hour's reach for work, specialist healthcare or cultural outings. Locally, the flat terrain at 6 m elevation makes walking and cycling realistic alternatives for short trips. Public transport, 13 lines with 50 stops, covers the local network, though frequency outside the tourist season should be checked. Golf courses require a drive: Villamartín and La Finca both at 13.0 km and Campoamor at 14.8 km.

The climate data for La Mata shows average monthly temperatures ranging from 12°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer, with an annual average of 19.0°C. In practice this means mild winters where heating demand is limited, and warm summers cooled by the coastal breeze. The swimming season spans five months with sea temperatures at or above 20°C, roughly aligning beach use from late spring into early autumn. The location sits at 6 m above sea level with a 0.4% gradient towards the coast, effectively flat terrain with no hills between the apartment and the sea, which matters for anyone walking or cycling daily. Natural surroundings are present nearby: the La Pinada viewpoint 1.3 km away indicates a pine-covered zone within walking distance, while the Torrevieja salt lagoons, a characteristic feature of this part of the Costa Blanca, define the landscape inland. Rainfall data is not specified in the available figures, but the region is generally known as one of the driest in Europe, consistent with the high number of sunshine-driven months suitable for outdoor living.

Coastal recreation is well within reach. Platja de l'Eixidor lies 1.4 km away in a straight line, Playa de Cabo Cervera 1.7 km and Platja de les Ortigues 2.3 km, giving three beach options within a short walk or drive. The beaches around La Mata and Torrevieja form part of a long sandy stretch of coastline typical of the southern Costa Blanca. For golfers, three 18-hole courses sit within fifteen kilometres: Club de Golf Villamartín (13.0 km), Club de Golf La Finca (13.0 km) and Real Club de Golf Campoamor (14.8 km), a concentration that places the property in a workable position for regular play without being on a golf resort itself. Water sports are served by the Real Club Náutico marina at 5.6 km and Port Esportiu Marina de les Dunes at 9.9 km. Land-based recreation includes the viewpoints at La Pinada (1.3 km), Torre del Moro (2.2 km) and Mirador El Moncayo (4.6 km), which mark walking routes along the coast and through the pine areas. A public swimming pool at 1.2 km and the sports infrastructure of Torrevieja at 3.3 km complete the range of facilities.

Within its direct market area, this apartment competes with new-build projects in Torrevieja and its surroundings. Apartments Palangre Beach in Torrevieja starts from €160,000, and Edificio Sun & Center, also key-ready, from €169,000. Further inland, Oasis Laguna 2 Phase II in Urbanización El Raso starts from €227,000. Those entry prices are lower than or comparable to this property's fixed price of €239,995, which invites a closer look at what each option delivers. New-build apartments typically carry a ten-year structural warranty, modern energy standards and communal facilities, but they are usually smaller at these price points and, in the case of phases under construction, involve delivery timelines and construction risk. This La Mata property counters with immediate availability, 80 m² of living space including a flexible third room, and two terraces, features not always present in entry-level new build. Location-wise, La Mata sits slightly north of central Torrevieja, close to the salt lagoons and the pine zone of La Pinada, giving it a more village-like character than the dense urban core of Torrevieja where the comparable projects stand. The regional context strengthens the position of all these locations: Alicante airport is roughly 30 km away, three cities of over 230,000 inhabitants lie within 42 km, and the climate supports a five-month swimming season. Buyers weighing this apartment against new-build alternatives should weigh building age and missing facilities (no pool, no parking) against space, readiness and location character. The provincial median income of €15,750 per year also frames local purchasing power and the demand structure in the resale market.
