This quad house stands in Los Altos, a residential district within the Orihuela Costa, Torrevieja conurbation on the southern Costa Blanca, roughly two kilometres from the nearest beaches at Cala de lo Ferri and Punta Prima. The property is a completed 2008 build offering 62 square metres of living space across two bedrooms and one bathroom, with a solarium, glazed ground-floor terrace and private patio on an 80 square metre plot. The urbanisation is gated, includes a communal swimming pool, and sits beside a public park. Shops, a pharmacy and public transport are within walking distance; three golf clubs lie between four and six kilometres away. Alicante-Elche airport is approximately 38 kilometres by straight line.
Within its price bracket, this quad house competes directly with apartment stock in Torrevieja and newer-phase developments inland. The closest comparables are Apartments Palangre Beach (from €160,000) and Edificio Sun & Center (from €169,000), both key-ready apartment buildings in Torrevieja. Against those, the Los Altos property commands roughly €20,000–€29,000 more while offering ground-level outdoor space, a private patio and a rooftop solarium, attributes apartment stock typically lacks, but it carries a 2008 build date rather than new construction. At the upper end, Oasis Laguna 2 Phase II in El Raso starts at €227,000, reflecting newer construction and a different residential setting closer to the Torrevieja lagoons than the beaches. Los Altos itself occupies a distinct niche in the local hierarchy: more service-dense and walkable than the La Zenia and Cabo Roig urbanisations, less expensive than frontline Orihuela Costa, and quieter than central Torrevieja. Buyers comparing across the region should weigh three trade-offs: build age versus price, apartment convenience versus quad-house outdoor space, and urban proximity versus frontline coastal position. The district's flat terrain, bus connectivity and 32 local festive days per year point to a functioning year-round community rather than a seasonal resort, which distinguishes it from more holiday-let-dominated pockets along the Orihuela Costa strip.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Los Altos occupies an urbanised coastal position south of Torrevieja, near the border with the Orihuela Costa. The immediate setting is residential with commercial amenities within a few hundred metres, including a supermarket at 241 metres. Beaches at Cala de lo Ferri and Punta Prima are under two kilometres away, while the AP-7 corridor and the N-332 connect the district to Torrevieja, Cartagena and Alicante province.
The property addresses needs for compact, low-maintenance coastal living: two bedrooms, one bathroom, a glazed terrace usable year-round, a solarium with sea views, and a private patio. Air conditioning, double glazing and WiFi are fitted. Communal facilities include a swimming pool within a gated complex. Street parking applies; no private garage or storage room is included in the listed data.
This is not a new-build development. The quad house was completed in 2008 and is listed in good condition, fully furnished, with a fully fitted kitchen and modern bathroom. Purchase does not involve off-plan construction phases or delivery risk; the transfer concerns an existing, completed property. Any refurbishment requirements would be assessed during viewing and survey.
The property does not offer a private pool, private parking, private garden beyond the patio, additional bathrooms, or more than two bedrooms within the main dwelling. Living space is 62 square metres on an 80 square metre plot, which limits interior volume. No lift, storage room, underbuild or sea-front position applies. These are factual limitations derived from the listed specifications.
This property fits recognisable situations rather than a universal profile. It suits a couple or small household seeking a furnished, turn-key coastal home under €200,000, where the two bedrooms, solarium room and glazed terrace provide enough flexibility for guests or a home office. It also fits buyers prioritising walkability: those who prefer not to drive daily will value the supermarket, pharmacy and bus connectivity. The flat terrain and proximity of a park with walking paths make it workable for older buyers who want low-gradient surroundings and single-level living with the solarium as an optional extra room. It may suit a holiday-let investment buyer, given the furnished condition, communal pool and coastal distance of under two kilometres, subject to regional licensing rules for tourist letting in the Valencian Community. It fits less well for households needing three or more bedrooms, a second bathroom, private parking, or substantial private garden space. Buyers seeking new-build energy performance, warranty coverage under the LOE ten-year insurance scheme, or a swimming pool for exclusive use should look at alternatives. In short, the property matches pragmatic budgets and pragmatic requirements: proximity to services, sea access by a short drive or a half-hour walk, and communal rather than private amenities.
As a 2008 build listed in good condition, the property reflects the construction standards of southern Costa Blanca quad housing from that period: cavity-block construction, rendered facades and flat-roof sections typical of the format. Interior features include a fully fitted kitchen, a bathroom with walk-in shower and space for a washing machine, and double glazing throughout. Air conditioning provides climate control; the glazed ground-floor terrace functions as a thermal buffer and extends usable living space into cooler months. The solarium, an added room at roof level, is a common adaptation in this housing type and offers flexibility as a guest room, study or lounge, though buyers should verify its insulation and legal registration during due diligence. Furniture is included in the listing, which reduces initial set-up cost but means interiors largely reflect prior ownership; refurbishment of finishes may be desired over time. Technical points worth checking in a survey include the age of the air-conditioning unit, the waterproofing of the flat roof and solarium, and the condition of window seals. The communal pool and urbanisation grounds are described as well maintained, and the gated access with street parking reflects the standard of the complex rather than any private security installation. Overall, the specification is consistent with a mid-market, mid-2000s coastal dwelling: functional, serviceable, and without premium materials or modern energy certification evident in the data.
The asking price is €189,000 for the completed, furnished quad house. Within the immediate region, comparable listings include apartments in Torrevieja from €160,000 and €169,000, and a newer-phase development in El Raso from €227,000. Positioned between those bands, this property offers ground-level outdoor space, a solarium and a gated-community pool, which partially explains the differential against pure apartment stock. Price per square metre of living area works out at approximately €3,050, though the solarium, patio and glazed terrace add usable area beyond that figure. Buyers should budget for purchase costs (transfer tax, notary, registry) of typically 10–13% above the asking price.
Los Altos functions as a year-round residential district rather than a seasonal resort enclave. Daily life here centres on walkable access to services: a supermarket roughly 240 metres away, a pharmacy under one kilometre, and a density of roughly 25 restaurants and 6 cafés within a two-kilometre radius. The presence of 14 public transport lines and 50 stops means that basic mobility does not strictly depend on a car, although a vehicle broadens access to beaches, golf and larger towns. The property itself is arranged for outdoor living: a glazed terrace extends the ground floor across seasons, the patio accommodates outdoor dining, and the solarium adds a third informal room with views towards the sea and Torrevieja. The urbanisation pool provides seasonal bathing without private maintenance obligations. Adjoining green space with pétanque courts and walking paths adds recreational use directly at the doorstep, and a padel centre is nearby. The rhythm of the area shifts between the quieter winter months, when the resident population is predominantly Spanish and Northern European permanent dwellers, and the summer, when coastal tourism increases traffic and demand on beaches. The flat terrain (the slope to the beach is effectively 0%) makes walking and cycling realistic for most daily errands, which suits buyers seeking an uncomplicated base rather than a hillside villa or a rural finca.
Life around Los Altos is shaped by its position between the salt-lagoon landscape of Torrevieja and the Orihuela Costa beach strip. Within a two-kilometre radius, daily provision is dense: a supermarket within 250 metres, four pharmacies, three dentists, 25 restaurants and six cafés. Sports facilities include a fitness centre 1.5 kilometres away, a public swimming pool at 1.8 kilometres, and football club facilities at five kilometres. Padel players have a dedicated centre close to the urbanisation. Healthcare beyond pharmacy level sits at roughly seven kilometres, which is relevant for buyers weighing access to hospital services against coastal proximity. Transport is a relative strength: 14 bus lines and 50 stops serve the wider district, connecting to Torrevieja centre, Orihuela Costa and inland towns, so a car-free pattern is feasible for routine trips. Traffic is heavier in July and August, when the coastal population swells; outside high season the area quiets noticeably. The neighbouring park with pétanque courts and walking paths provides informal green space at the doorstep, complementing the promenades and marinas further afield. The flat topography, at two metres above sea level with no gradient towards the beach, supports cycling and walking as genuine transport modes rather than leisure-only options.

Distances shown are straight-line measurements; actual driving distances are typically somewhat longer.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Los Altos sits at the northern edge of the Orihuela Costa municipal area, close to the boundary with Torrevieja, placing it between two urban poles: Torrevieja's services and seafront to the north, and the beach-urbanisations of Orihuela Costa to the south. Regional cities frame the wider catchment: Elche at 35 kilometres, Murcia at 36 and Cartagena at 45. Within this frame, the district occupies a middle-market, service-dense residential niche, more urbanised than La Zenia's commercial strip and more affordable than frontline developments in Campoamor or Cabo Roig.
Beaches are the nearest major amenity: Cala de lo Ferri at 1.7–2.0 kilometres, Playa Rocío del Mar and Playa Punta Prima at 1.9–2.3 kilometres, and Cala Piteras at 2.5 kilometres, all reachable by car in under five minutes or on foot in 20–30 minutes. Golf is a defining feature of the wider area: Club de Golf Villamartín at 3.6 kilometres, Real Club de Golf Campoamor at 5.5 kilometres and Las Ramblas de Orihuela at 5.9 kilometres. Torrevieja city centre and its marinas sit within roughly 5–8 kilometres. Murcia is 36 kilometres and Cartagena 45 kilometres away. Electric-vehicle charging is available from 2.3 kilometres, with fast-charging hubs at La Zenia 4.8 kilometres away.

The climate data indicates a Mediterranean pattern with an annual average of 18.8°C and a monthly range of roughly 12–26°C. Historical sunshine totals of approximately 3,854 hours per year place the area among the sunniest in Spain, supporting year-round terrace use. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures at or above 20°C, lasts about five months, typically May to October, which is relevant given the communal pool and nearby coves. Elevation is two metres above sea level and the terrain towards the beach is flat, eliminating climb factors from daily movement but also meaning no elevation-derived views; the listed sea views come from the raised position of the solarium. Winters are mild but not tropical; the glazed terrace and air conditioning extend comfortable use of the property across all seasons.

The nearest shoreline consists of a series of rocky coves and small bays: Cala de lo Ferri at two kilometres, Playa Rocío del Mar, Playa Punta Prima and Cala Piteras within 2.5 kilometres. These are typically smaller, calmer bathing spots than the broad sandy beaches of La Mata or Guardamar further north, suited to morning swims and snorkelling. Punta Prima offers a promenade with bars and services. For sailing and mooring, Real Club Náutico lies 3.3 kilometres away and Puerto Deportivo Miguel Caballero 7.8 kilometres. Golf is the area's principal structured recreation, with three 18-hole clubs within a six-kilometre radius, and the La Zenia Boulevard shopping centre is a short drive for retail and cinema. Community-level recreation includes the urbanisation pool, the adjoining park's pétanque courts, and padel facilities next to the complex.
