This two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment is located in Los Altos, a residential area of Orihuela Costa in the province of Alicante. The property offers 80 m² of living space on the second floor of a building with lift access, and it is key-ready. The asking price is a fixed €279,000. The apartment is sold fully furnished and includes air conditioning, a private terrace, a storage room, one garage parking space in the underground car park, and access to a communal swimming pool. Shops, restaurants and a supermarket are within walking distance, and several beaches lie roughly 2 km away as the crow flies.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in Los Altos, an urbanised part of Orihuela Costa close to the coast. A supermarket is 241 m away and a pharmacy 932 m, so daily errands can be done on foot. The nearest beaches, including Cala de lo Ferri and Playa Punta Prima, are around 1.7–1.9 km away as the crow flies. Three golf courses lie within 6 km, and Alicante-Elche airport is roughly 38 km in a straight line.
The layout serves two occupants comfortably: two bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, two bathrooms, an open-plan living and dining area with an American-style kitchen, and a private terrace. Air conditioning provides year-round comfort, and the building has a lift, a security door and intercom. The communal pool and the included garage and storage room cover the main practical needs of a coastal residence.
The property is an existing home, not an off-plan purchase. It is key-ready, meaning the buyer can move in directly after completion of the sale. According to the available data the building dates from 1970; the interior, as shown in the photographs, has a modern finish and is delivered fully furnished. Any completion dates in the transaction process are indicative.
The property offers no private garden and no private pool; swimming is possible only in the communal pool. There is a single garage parking space, not multiple. The airport lies at a greater distance, roughly 38 km straight-line. The building's 1970 construction year means the buyer should verify the technical condition and any renovation history during due diligence.
This apartment fits several recognisable situations. A couple seeking a low-maintenance second home will find the key-ready condition useful: the property is fully furnished and can be used immediately after purchase, without renovation or furnishing projects. Buyers who want to avoid stairs issues will note the lift and the second-floor position. People who prefer not to depend on a car for daily life benefit from the supermarket at 241 m and the walkable amenities. Holiday makers who play golf can reach three courses within roughly 6 km. The property is less self-evident for buyers who want a private pool or garden, since only communal facilities are available, or for families needing three or more bedrooms, as the layout offers two. Buyers focused on brand-new construction should also note the 1970 building date and inspect the technical state of the block. For year-round residence, the presence of air conditioning, a pharmacy, a hospital at 7.2 km and a full set of local services supports permanent living, not just summer stays. The flat terrain and short walking distances also suit older buyers or anyone with reduced mobility who still wants coastal access without steep descents to the sea.
The apartment is delivered fully furnished, as shown in the photographs, which depict a modern interior: an open-plan living and dining area connected to an American-style kitchen with built-in appliances, contemporary bathroom fittings with walk-in showers and vanity units, and fitted wardrobes in both bedrooms. Air conditioning is installed for both cooling and heating, which covers temperature control across a climate with average monthly temperatures between 12°C in winter and 26°C in summer. The building provides a lift with access to all floors, a security door and an intercom system at the entrance. Practical storage is addressed twice: a dedicated storage room in the building and fitted wardrobes inside the apartment. Parking is solved with one space in the private underground garage. The communal swimming pool with surrounding palm planting serves as the shared outdoor facility. The buyer should treat these finish descriptions as verified at viewing, since the unit is an existing property: the state of the building envelope, plumbing, electrical installation and windows, particularly given the 1970 construction year of the building, should be assessed during a technical inspection. The photographs show a consistent, recently modernised interior, but a professional survey remains the appropriate instrument to confirm the underlying condition.
The asking price is a fixed €279,000; this is an existing home, not a new-build price list, so no 'from' pricing applies. The price reflects a key-ready, fully furnished apartment with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, 80 m² of living area, a garage parking space, a storage room and communal pool access. Buyers should budget separately for purchase costs such as transfer tax, notary and registry fees, and should verify annual running costs including community fees and local property tax with the seller or agent. Compared with new-build apartments in the wider area, which start from roughly €160,000 to €227,000 in comparable projects, this price is positioned at the upper band, which is consistent with its turnkey condition and included parking and storage.
Daily life around this apartment is organised around a compact, fully built-up neighbourhood. With a supermarket at 241 m and a pharmacy under a kilometre away, most routine shopping does not require a car. Within a 2 km radius the area counts around 25 restaurants, six cafés, four pharmacies and three dentists, which gives the neighbourhood a year-round residential character rather than a purely seasonal one. The living space itself is arranged as an open-plan combination of sitting, dining and kitchen areas, lit from the terrace. For two people this creates a single continuous daytime zone of about 80 m² in total, with the two bedrooms and two bathrooms placed off it. The second-floor position with lift access keeps stairs short. Mornings can start on the terrace; the flat terrain (the gradient to the beach is 0.0%) means walks and cycle rides to the coast involve no climbing. The swimming season lasts about five months, when sea temperatures reach 20°C or more, and the communal pool extends that period somewhat. Beyond the immediate neighbourhood, Orihuela Costa's wider offer, three golf courses within about 6 km, marinas at 3.3 and 7.8 km, and the beaches of Punta Prima, Rocío del Mar and Cala de lo Ferri, is all within a short drive. Public transport is available through 14 lines and 50 stops in the area, which reduces car dependency for local trips, although the airport connection at roughly 38 km straight-line will typically involve a transfer by car or taxi.
The surroundings combine urban convenience with coastal proximity. Los Altos is a built-up residential area where amenities are within walking or cycling distance: the supermarket at 241 m, the pharmacy at 932 m, and within 2 km around 25 restaurants, six cafés and three dentists. Health care beyond the pharmacy is available at a hospital 7.2 km away. The nearest beaches, Cala de lo Ferri at roughly 2.0 km, Playa Rocío del Mar at 2.3 km and Cala Piteras at 2.5 km, all straight-line, are reachable on foot or by bike over flat terrain. Sports facilities nearby include Snatch Fitness Center at 1.5 km, Villamartin Golf at 4.5 km and CF Torrevieja at 5.0 km. Marinas lie at 3.3 km (Real Club Náutico) and 7.8 km (Puerto Deportivo Miguel Caballero). Electric-car owners can charge at Ionity La Zenia (4.8 km) and at two further providers within roughly 7 km. Public transport in the wider area consists of 14 lines serving 50 stops, which supports local mobility. The area is urban rather than rural: it is busy in the summer season and quieter in the winter months, a pattern typical of Orihuela Costa.
The map shows the apartment in Los Altos relative to the Orihuela Costa coastline. Distances shown are straight-line: the beaches at 1.7–2.5 km, the three golf courses to the west, and the supermarket directly adjacent to the residential area. Alicante-Elche airport lies roughly 38 km to the north-east.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Los Altos forms part of Orihuela Costa, the coastal strip of the municipality of Orihuela at the southern edge of the Alicante province, close to the border with the Murcia region. The position is roughly midway between the large urban centres of Torrevieja to the north and the Mar Menor area to the south. Elche (35 km) and Murcia (36 km) are the nearest major cities, with Cartagena at 45 km. Within the Costa Blanca South property market, Orihuela Costa is one of the most internationally oriented zones, with an established expatriate population and services geared to foreign residents, including the dense concentration of golf courses and commercial centres along the coast road.
The nearest beach, Cala de lo Ferri, lies about 2.0 km away as the crow flies; the road distance will be somewhat longer, though the existing description refers to an 8-minute drive to the beach. Playa Rocío del Mar and Playa Punta Prima are around 1.9–2.3 km away. The supermarket (241 m) and pharmacy (932 m) are walkable, and the hospital is 7.2 km away. Golf courses at Villamartín (3.6–4.7 km), Campoamor (5.5–6.6 km) and Las Ramblas de Orihuela (5.9–7.2 km) are a short drive. Alicante-Elche airport is roughly 38 km straight-line, about a 40-minute drive according to the existing description, while Valencia (171 km) and Málaga (364 km) airports are considerably further. Larger regional cities are Elche (35 km, around 235,000 inhabitants), Murcia (36 km, around 463,000) and Cartagena (45 km, around 219,000). By car the area is reached via the AP-7 and N-332 corridors typical of the Costa Blanca south; within the neighbourhood itself most destinations are walkable, and the included garage space covers the car.

The location lies at approximately 2 m above sea level with a flat gradient (0.0%) towards the sea, so there are no height differences between the apartment and the beaches. The average annual temperature is 18.8°C, with monthly averages ranging from 12°C in the coldest month to 26°C in the warmest. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or higher, lasts about five months, roughly late May to early October. This is a classic dry Mediterranean coastal climate: warm summers, mild winters and limited rainfall, which suits year-round outdoor use of the terrace and the communal pool. Natural surroundings are predominantly urbanised coastline interspersed with coves such as Cala de lo Ferri and Cala Piteras; there is no mountainous or forested backdrop immediately adjacent, and the landscape character is that of the flat southern Costa Blanca.

Within its segment, this apartment competes with key-ready and new-build apartments in Torrevieja and the wider Orihuela Costa, Torrevieja belt. Comparable projects include Palangre Beach in Torrevieja (from €160,000), Edificio Sun & Center in Torrevieja (from €169,000) and Oasis Laguna 2 Phase II in Urbanización El Raso (from €227,000). Against these, the €279,000 asking price here is the highest of the set, which can be explained by its turnkey condition, fully furnished, modernised interior, and by the inclusions that new-build projects often price separately: garage parking space, storage room and full furnishing. New-build buyers typically pay extra for parking and storage and must furnish the property themselves, so the effective gap is smaller than the headline prices suggest. Location-wise, Los Altos sits slightly inland of the beachfront strips of Punta Prima and La Zenia, which trades sea views for walking-distance amenities: the supermarket at 241 m is closer than what many beachfront complexes offer. The Orihuela Costa zone as a whole is characterised by its density of golf courses, three within roughly 7 km of this apartment, and by a strongly international resident base, distinct from the more Spanish-urban character of Torrevieja town centre or the quieter, more rural setting of El Raso. Buyers comparing options should weigh the 1970 construction year of this building against the warranties and specifications of new-build alternatives, and balance that against the immediate usability of a furnished, key-ready home.
