This duplex is located in Los Altos, a residential district within the municipality of Torrevieja on the southern Costa Blanca. Completed in 1997, the property offers 66 m² of living space across two floors, with two bedrooms, one bathroom, a private terrace with brick barbecue, and access to a communal swimming pool. The property is finished and furnished, sold ready for occupation. The immediate area functions as an established urbanisation with a supermarket 241 metres away, a pharmacy within walking distance, and the nearest beaches approximately 2 km from the door. Air conditioning and central heating are installed, and a parking space on the plot is included. The listed price is €177,450.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Los Altos sits inland of the coastal strip between Torrevieja and Orihuela Costa, roughly 2 km from the nearest coves at Cala de lo Ferri. The district is urban and established, with daily services reachable on foot: the supermarket is 241 metres away and the pharmacy under one kilometre. Public transport is well represented, with 14 lines and around 50 stops in the area. Larger cities, Elche and Murcia, lie 35–36 km away.
The property functions as a compact two-bedroom dwelling for permanent or seasonal use. It provides a fitted kitchen, living-dining area, fitted wardrobes, full furnishing, air conditioning, and radiator central heating. Outdoor space consists of a private terrace and a rooftop area with barbecue. Practical storage is covered by a utility room, and a parking space on the property is included. The communal pool and garden serve as shared outdoor facilities.
This is not a new-build development. The property was completed in 1997 and is described as being in good condition, ready for immediate occupation. Buyers should therefore expect construction standards, insulation values, and building documentation dating from the 1990s rather than current new-build specifications. No energy performance certificate details were supplied in the available data.
The property offers one bathroom only, 66 m² of living space, and no private pool; the pool is communal. It is a 1997 resale with an urban view rather than sea views. No lift is indicated for this duplex type. Parking is limited to a single space on the property. Buyers seeking new-build energy efficiency certifications, multiple bathrooms, or direct beachfront positioning should note these constraints.

This property fits a buyer profile seeking an occupied or immediately usable home at a moderate budget, with walkable daily services and beach access by short trip rather than on the doorstep. It suits single buyers or couples, or a small family accepting one bathroom, who prioritise location practicality over surface area. The combination of full furnishing, air conditioning, central heating, and included parking reduces the initial investment needed after purchase, which is relevant for buyers relocating from abroad or acquiring a second residence without a renovation project. Seasonal users benefit from the lock-up-and-leave format: a compact duplex with communal pool maintenance handled externally, storage for equipment, and a residential rather than resort setting. Buyers who spend winter months in Spain will note the radiator central heating alongside air conditioning, a feature not always present in coastal resales. The property is less suitable for buyers requiring multiple bathrooms, extensive private outdoor space, sea views, or new-build energy documentation. It also does not suit households dependent on immediate hospital proximity; the nearest hospital is 7.2 km away, which implies a short drive. For investors, the price point sits below the regional average for comparable coastal stock in this corridor, though rental performance depends on the single-bathroom configuration and the 66 m² size, which limits occupancy to smaller groups.
The property is documented as being in good condition and fully furnished, delivered ready for occupation. Technical installations present include air conditioning (both hot and cold functions) and central heating with radiators, an older-style wet system that provides winter comfort independent of the air-to-air units. The bathroom photographed shows a standard radiator, basin, and toilet configuration consistent with a maintained 1990s build. The kitchen is fitted and integrated into the living-dining area on the ground floor. Fitted wardrobes are installed in the sleeping areas, and the listing includes satellite TV, WiFi, and fibre optic connectivity, indicating that modern telecommunications infrastructure reaches the urbanisation. The private terrace carries a brick barbecue, a permanent construction rather than portable equipment, and the rooftop terrace is surfaced as an outdoor room with planting. The utility room provides enclosed storage separate from the living space. A parking space on the property is included, which removes reliance on street parking. As a 1997 construction, buyers should expect building regulations, insulation standards, and window specifications from that era rather than current technical building code requirements. No energy performance certificate rating was supplied in the available data; obtaining this document is a standard part of a resale purchase in Spain and should be requested during due diligence. Overall, the finishing level is consistent with a maintained, occupied resale property rather than a renovated or new development.
The property is listed at €177,450, which equates to roughly €2,690 per m² of living space. Within the immediate Torrevieja market, comparable advertised options include apartments at Palangre Beach from €160,000 and Edificio Sun & Center from €169,000, while Oasis Laguna 2 in El Raso starts at €227,000. The property is completed, furnished, and available for immediate transfer, so there is no construction-phase payment structure or waiting period. As a resale listing, the price is a fixed asking price rather than a developer's "from" price; actual transaction terms depend on negotiation. Additional purchase costs (transfer tax, notary, registry) are not included in the figure.
Daily life here is organised around an established residential urbanisation with a high degree of walkability. The supermarket sits 241 metres from the property, four pharmacies operate within roughly a kilometre, and the surrounding two-kilometre radius contains 25 restaurants and six cafés, giving the district a service level that supports year-round living rather than purely seasonal use. The dwelling itself follows a simple two-level layout: living-dining area with kitchen, one bedroom and the bathroom on the ground level, a second bedroom upstairs, and access from the first floor to the terrace and rooftop area. The private terrace with its brick barbecue and the upper solarium are the main outdoor rooms; the communal pool and garden provide the summer swimming function without private maintenance responsibility. With 3,854 recorded sunshine hours per year and a flat terrain profile (the property sits at approximately 2 metres above sea level with a 0% gradient to the beach), walking and cycling are realistic daily transport modes for most errands. The northeast orientation means the terrace receives morning and midday sun rather than the late afternoon and evening exposure of west-facing properties. The utility room adds practical storage for bicycles and beach equipment, which reflects the walk-and-cycle character of the district. Outside the summer months, the area retains its residential population, and the density of everyday services, dentists, sports centres, the courtesy bus, and 50 public transport stops, keeps the neighbourhood functional across seasons. Elche and Murcia are both reachable within a 35–36 km radius for regional services, work, or larger hospital care.
Los Altos functions as a residential district with a service density that supports everyday life on foot or by bicycle. The supermarket at 241 metres and pharmacy at 932 metres cover the core daily errands; within a two-kilometre radius there are 25 restaurants, six cafés, four pharmacies, and three dentists. Sports facilities include Snatch Fitness Center at 1.5 km, and public swimming options exist beyond the communal pool, including Piscina Residencial Parque de las Naciones at 2.9 km. Public transport is a defining feature of the location: 14 lines serve the area through approximately 50 stops, and the property is listed with a courtesy bus connection. This reduces car dependency for local trips, though regional travel and beach visits with equipment are more practical by car. The nearest hospital is 7.2 km away, in the direction of Torrevieja's health infrastructure. The terrain is flat at approximately 2 metres above sea level, which makes walking and cycling effortless for most residents. The urban setting means views are urban rather than open; the outdoor experience is concentrated in the terrace, rooftop, and communal garden. The district sits between Torrevieja city and the Orihuela Costa beach strip, so both directions are accessible within a 10–15 minute drive. Out of season, the resident population keeps local businesses operating, and the 32 local public holidays per year reflect an active municipal calendar in the wider Torrevieja area.
The map shows the property's position in Los Altos, set back approximately 2 km from the coastline between Torrevieja and Punta Prima. Markers indicate the supermarket within 250 metres, the nearby coves and beaches at 1.7–2.5 km, and the three golf courses of Villamartín, Campoamor, and Las Ramblas within the 3.6–5.9 km range. Alicante-Elche Airport lies roughly 38 km to the north.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Los Altos occupies a position between Torrevieja city and the Orihuela Costa beach urbanisations, inland of the coastal road but within two kilometres of the shore. The regional context is defined by the southern Costa Blanca: Torrevieja functions as the immediate service city, while Elche (35 km, 234,765 inhabitants) and Murcia (36 km, 462,979 inhabitants) provide metropolitan services, hospitals, and airports access, Alicante-Elche Airport being roughly 38 km away. Cartagena lies 45 km south. The district's positioning trades sea views and frontline proximity for lower pricing and a year-round residential character, distinguishing it from the resort-dominated zones immediately along the coast.
The nearest beaches, Cala de lo Ferri, Playa Rocío del Mar, and Playa Punta Prima, lie 1.7 to 1.9 km straight-line from the property, reachable by car in a few minutes or by bicycle on flat terrain. Three golf courses sit within a 6 km radius: Club de Golf Villamartín at 3.6 km, Real Club de Golf Campoamor at 5.5 km, and Las Ramblas de Orihuela at 5.9 km. Torrevieja centre and its marina facilities, including Real Club Náutico at 3.3 km, are close by. Alicante-Elche Airport is approximately 38 km straight-line, a drive of roughly 40–45 minutes; Valencia airport is 171 km away. EV charging is available from 2.3 km, with fast-charging options including Ionity La Zenia at 4.8 km. Elche (35 km) and Murcia (36 km) are the nearest major cities.

The climate data for this location records 3,854 sunshine hours per year, a figure above the Spanish coastal average, with an average annual temperature of 18.8°C and a monthly range of 12 to 26°C. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts approximately five months, which frames the period during which the communal pool and nearby beaches see principal use. The property sits at roughly 2 metres above sea level on entirely flat terrain; the gradient to the beach is 0%, so there are no slopes to negotiate on foot or by bicycle. The northeast orientation places the terrace in morning and midday sun, with shade later in the day, a configuration that limits afternoon overheating in summer but provides less evening outdoor use. Winters are mild by northern European standards, and the presence of both central heating and hot air conditioning covers the cooler months. The immediate natural environment is urban; open natural landscapes begin at the coastal coves and golf course green belts a short distance away.

The nearest bathing points are the coves and beaches between 1.7 and 2.5 km: Cala de lo Ferri, Playa Rocío del Mar, Playa Punta Prima, and Cala Piteras. These are small Mediterranean coves and town beaches typical of the Torrevieja, Orihuela Costa corridor rather than long open sandy stretches. Golf is the area's principal organised recreation, with three 18-hole courses within a 6 km radius, Villamartín, Campoamor, and Las Ramblas de Orihuela, making the location practical for regular play without long drives. Marinas at Real Club Náutico (3.3 km) and Puerto Deportivo Miguel Caballero (7.8 km) provide mooring and nautical services. Football is represented by CF Torrevieja at 5 km, and gym facilities at 1.5 km. Swimming beyond the sea and communal pool is available at public pool facilities from 1.8 km. EV charging points at Ionity La Zenia and Iberdrola stations support electric mobility for regional trips.

Within the Torrevieja and southern Costa Blanca market, this duplex competes on price and immediate availability rather than new-build specification. Advertised comparables include Apartments Palangre Beach in Torrevieja from €160,000 and Edificio Sun & Center, also key-ready, from €169,000, both apartment products in the same municipal market. At a higher tier, Oasis Laguna 2 Phase II in Urbanización El Raso starts at €227,000, reflecting newer construction and a more inland golf-orientated setting near Guardamar. At €177,450, this property sits between those bands. What distinguishes it structurally is the duplex format with private entrance, terrace, rooftop solarium, and on-plot parking, attributes typically absent in apartment stock at this price level, combined with a location whose walkability metrics are unusually strong: a supermarket at 241 metres, a pharmacy under one kilometre, and 50 public transport stops across 14 lines. The trade-offs against newer stock are clear: 1997 construction standards rather than current building code, one bathroom, urban views, and a communal rather than private pool. Against frontline Orihuela Costa properties, Los Altos gives up beach proximity and sea views but gains a year-round residential population and service density that keeps the district functional outside the summer season. Regional access is comparable across all these locations: Alicante-Elche Airport at roughly 38 km and the Murcia metropolitan area at 36 km. For buyers weighing a €160,000–€230,000 budget in this corridor, the choice effectively comes down to new-build apartment versus established duplex with more functional layout and immediate occupancy.
