This corner ground-floor bungalow is located in the Dream Hills urbanisation in Los Altos, part of Orihuela Costa on the southern Costa Blanca. The property offers two bedrooms and two complete bathrooms across a 67 m² interior, extended by a glazed terrace usable throughout the year and a 110 m² private garden with its own pool. The communal pool lies directly adjacent. The building dates from 1970 and the unit is delivered fully furnished. The asking price is €249,000. Los Altos is a consolidated residential area with year-round services, situated within walking and cycling distance of shops, pharmacies and cafés.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Los Altos is an established residential district of Orihuela Costa, roughly two kilometres inland from the nearest beaches at Cala de lo Ferri and Punta Prima. The immediate surroundings are urban with daily amenities within walking distance, including a supermarket at approximately 240 metres. Zenia Boulevard shopping centre and several golf courses are a short drive away. Alicante-Elche Airport lies roughly 38 kilometres to the north.
The property functions as a year-round residence or second home. Two bathrooms, a glazed terrace and a private garden with pool support extended stays and outdoor living across seasons. The single-storey ground-floor layout suits buyers seeking to avoid stairs. Full furnishing allows immediate occupancy. The nearby communal pool provides an additional shared facility without garden-level maintenance responsibility for it.
This is not a new-build project. The building was completed in 1970 and the property is delivered in finished, habitable condition with furniture included. There is no construction phase or delivery schedule to consider. Buyers should account for the age of the building when assessing installation standards, energy performance and potential maintenance requirements typical of 1970s construction on the Costa Blanca.
The property does not offer sea views, an underground parking space or a private storage room, and no garage is listed among the features. The interior surface of 67 m² is compact relative to the two-bedroom, two-bathroom layout. No energy certificate is stated. The building dates from 1970, so modern insulation and efficiency standards should not be assumed. It is an apartment-type dwelling, not a detached villa.
This property fits several recognisable buyer situations. A couple seeking a low-maintenance second home on the Costa Blanca will find the single-storey layout, private garden and adjacent communal pool workable without the upkeep of a large villa. Buyers who prioritise outdoor space over interior square metres, the 110 m² garden exceeds the built surface, will see value in the configuration. Those wanting year-round habitability rather than a summer-only unit benefit from the glazed terrace, air conditioning, and a neighbourhood where shops, pharmacies and restaurants operate through the winter. The property also suits buyers who wish to avoid a construction phase entirely: it is complete, furnished and available now, which removes delivery risk from the purchase. Purchasers planning to let the unit can use it immediately, though community rules on tourist rental should be verified before assuming income. It fits less well for buyers who want sea views, underground parking or contemporary build standards; the 1970 construction date means installation quality and insulation should be inspected rather than presumed. Households needing three bedrooms or substantial storage will also find the 67 m² interior limiting. Finally, buyers who value walkable beach access should note the roughly two-kilometre distance, manageable by bike or car, but not a beachfront location. In short, the property matches practical, exterior-oriented living in a consolidated urban setting more than a scenic or spacious coastal retreat.
The interior photographs show a kitchen with stainless-steel appliances and an integrated fridge, a living-dining area with modern soft furnishings, and a bedroom with dark-toned doors and air conditioning. The property is delivered fully furnished, which covers the visible inventory but does not in itself indicate the condition of hidden installations. Given the 1970 build year, several technical aspects merit direct inspection: the age and capacity of the electrical installation, the state of plumbing and water pressure, the type of glazing in the glazed terrace, and whether the air conditioning serves all rooms or only part of the dwelling. No energy performance certificate is listed, so the energy label is unknown; older buildings on the Costa Blanca frequently carry C to E ratings unless retrofitted. Buyers should also establish the condition and equipment of the private pool, filtration, heating if any, and recent maintenance, and confirm which boundary and structural elements of the 110 m² garden fall under private versus community responsibility. The glazed terrace is the main climate-control feature, extending usable space in shoulder seasons, and its orientation affects heat gain in summer. The communal pool next to the plot is maintained by the community, with costs presumably reflected in community fees, which should be quantified during due diligence. Overall, the visible finish level appears consistent with a modernised resale unit rather than a renovation project, but the 1970 structure means the technical assessment belongs in the survey stage, not in the listing description.
The asking price is €249,000 for a furnished, two-bedroom, two-bathroom ground-floor bungalow with a private garden and pool. Within the wider area, comparable new-build or recent apartments start from approximately €160,000 in Torrevieja and €227,000 in Urbanización El Raso. The price here reflects the exterior space and private pool rather than interior volume, which at 67 m² sits below the regional average for two-bedroom units. This is a single resale unit, not a phased development, so availability is immediate and limited to one property.
Daily life in this property centres on the ground-floor layout and its exterior space. The corner position within Dream Hills gives the 110 m² garden a degree of separation, and the private pool allows swimming without leaving the plot, a feature that distinguishes this unit from standard apartment stock in the area. The glazed terrace extends the usable living area across the cooler months, functioning as a sitting or dining room with daylight exposure. Inside, the two-bedroom, two-bathroom configuration supports couples, small families or two guests staying independently. The kitchen is equipped with stainless-steel appliances and a fridge, and the photographs show air conditioning in at least one bedroom. The neighbourhood operates year-round: the supermarket is a three-minute walk, a pharmacy sits under a kilometre away, and roughly twenty-five restaurants and six cafés are within a two-kilometre radius. Mobility is largely pedestrian and cyclist friendly for daily errands, while the beaches at Cala de lo Ferri, Playa Rocío del Mar and Punta Prima are about two kilometres away, reachable on foot in twenty to twenty-five minutes or a few minutes by car. The terrain is flat at two metres above sea level, which matters for cycling and for anyone with reduced mobility. Public transport is present with fourteen lines and fifty stops in the area, reducing absolute car dependency, though a vehicle remains practical for beach trips, golf and airport transfers. The atmosphere is that of a consolidated residential zone rather than a seasonal tourist strip: services stay open in winter, and the surrounding streets are predominantly low-rise housing. For a buyer weighing a second residence against a rental investment, the private pool and furnished condition lower the barrier to either use, subject to community rules on letting.
Los Altos functions as a residential district with services that operate throughout the year, not only in the summer season. Within a two-kilometre radius the area counts around twenty-five restaurants, six cafés, four pharmacies and three dentists, alongside a supermarket at roughly 240 metres from the property. The nearest hospital is 7.2 kilometres away, which is a ten to twelve-minute drive. For recreation, the flat terrain at two metres elevation makes walking and cycling realistic for daily trips; the slope to the beach is effectively nil. Public transport coverage is reasonable for a suburban coastal district, fourteen lines and fifty stops serve the wider area, though frequency and routes to specific destinations should be checked against personal needs. The nearest beaches, Cala de lo Ferri, Playa Rocío del Mar and Playa Punta Prima, lie about two kilometres away, and the marinas of Real Club Náutico (3.3 km) and Puerto Deportivo Miguel Caballero (7.8 km) add sailing and waterfront options. Sports facilities within range include Snatch Fitness Center at 1.5 kilometres and public swimming pools at under three kilometres. For electric vehicle owners, the nearest charging point is 2.3 kilometres away, with larger fast-charging hubs at La Zenia and along the main corridors further out. Larger cities, Elche, Murcia and Cartagena, all lie between 35 and 45 kilometres away, reachable in well under an hour by car.
The map shows the property's position in Los Altos, set back roughly two kilometres from the coves of southern Orihuela Costa. Nearby markers indicate the supermarket within walking distance, the beaches at Cala de lo Ferri and Punta Prima, and the golf courses of Villamartín and Campoamor. The flat terrain and the AP-7 corridor toward Alicante airport are visible in the wider geography.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Los Altos occupies a residential position between Torrevieja to the north and the Orihuela Costa beach zones to the south. The district is inland by one to two kilometres from the coast, which places it outside the seasonal intensity of the beachfront strips while remaining within a five-minute drive of the sea. Regionally, it sits close to the border between the Valencian Community and Murcia: Torrevieja is the nearest sizeable town, Orihuela Costa provides the coastal infrastructure, and the cities of Elche, Murcia and Cartagena form the wider metropolitan frame at 35–45 kilometres.
The nearest beach, Cala de lo Ferri, lies approximately two kilometres away, with Playa Rocío del Mar and Playa Punta Prima at similar distance, a few minutes by car or bicycle on flat terrain. Three golf courses sit within six kilometres: Club de Golf Villamartín (3.6 km), Real Club de Golf Campoamor (5.5 km) and Las Ramblas de Orihuela (5.9 km). Zenia Boulevard, one of the largest shopping centres in the region, is a short drive. Alicante-Elche Airport is roughly 38 kilometres away via the AP-7/N-332 corridor, typically forty minutes by car; Valencia airport is 171 kilometres distant. The hospital is 7.2 kilometres away, and a pharmacy 932 metres. An electric charging point is 2.3 kilometres from the property.

The location records approximately 3,854 sunshine hours per year, a figure that sits above most of Mediterranean Spain, and a mean annual temperature of 18.8°C with seasonal averages ranging from 12°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures at or above 20°C, extends across roughly five months, typically late May to early October. The terrain is flat: the property sits at two metres above sea level with a 0.0% gradient toward the coast, which suits walking, cycling and reduced-mobility access but rules out any elevation or views. The semi-arid Costa Blanca south climate means low rainfall concentrated in autumn, with hot, dry summers moderated by sea proximity. The glazed terrace extends outdoor usability into spring and autumn, and the private pool compensates for the two-kilometre distance to the sea during the warmest months. The surrounding landscape is urban and residential rather than natural; green environments are limited to golf course landscapes a few kilometres inland.

The coastline near Los Altos consists of a series of coves and beaches: Cala de lo Ferri at about two kilometres is the closest, followed by Playa Rocío del Mar and Playa Punta Prima at 1.9–2.3 kilometres, and Cala Piteras at 2.5 kilometres. These are typically small, rocky-entry coves characteristic of southern Orihuela Costa; wider sandy beaches lie at La Zenia and Cabo Roig slightly further south. Golf is a strong recreational feature of the area, with three eighteen-hole courses, Villamartín, Real Club de Golf Campoamor and Las Ramblas de Orihuela, within a six-kilometre radius. Two marinas, Real Club Náutico (3.3 km) and Puerto Deportivo Miguel Caballero (7.8 km), serve sailing and water sports. Fitness options include Snatch Fitness Center at 1.5 kilometres and public swimming pools within three kilometres; CF Torrevieja football club is five kilometres away. The private pool on the plot itself provides the most immediate recreational facility.

Positioned against comparable supply in the southern Costa Blanca, this property competes on exterior space rather than interior volume or build year. New-build alternatives in Torrevieja, such as Apartments Palangre Beach (from €160,000) and Edificio Sun & Center (from €169,000), offer more modern construction standards, current energy certificates and developer warranties at lower entry prices, but typically deliver standard apartments with terraces and communal pools rather than private gardens. Oasis Laguna 2 Phase II in Urbanización El Raso (from €227,000) is closer in price and similarly oriented toward outdoor living, situated in a residential zone near the La Mata natural park on the Torrevieja side. At €249,000, this Dream Hills unit costs more than all three comparables while offering a 1970 build and a 67 m² interior, the premium is explained almost entirely by the 110 m² private garden with its own pool and the corner position. Within Los Altos itself, the location profile is comparable to nearby districts such as Villamartín and Punta Prima: consolidated, year-round residential, walkable for daily errands, and two kilometres from the coast. Relative to beachfront zones like La Zenia or Cabo Roig, Los Altos is quieter and less seasonal, with lower density but no sea views. Accessibility is a shared strength across the sub-region, the AP-7 motorway, Zenia Boulevard and three golf courses are all within a short drive, and Alicante airport sits roughly forty minutes north. Buyers comparing options should weigh a private pool and established garden against newer construction, warranties and energy efficiency; the two value propositions rarely coincide at this price level in the immediate area.
