This renovated townhouse is located in Los Altos, part of Orihuela Costa in the south of the Alicante province. The property offers three double bedrooms, two bathrooms and 65 m² of living space across two levels, with a private corner garden, a roof terrace and access to a communal swimming pool. The asking price is fixed at €239,000. Los Altos sits inland of the coast at roughly two kilometres from the nearest beach, in a flat residential area with extensive local amenities and good road connections towards Torrevieja, Cartagena and Alicante airport.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Los Altos is a residential district of Orihuela Costa, set on flat terrain about 2 km as the crow flies from the nearest cove, Cala de lo Ferri. The area is served by 14 public transport lines with around 50 stops, and lies within easy reach of the AP-7 corridor towards Torrevieja and the provincial capital. Nearby towns include Elche at 35 km straight-line distance.
The house combines three double bedrooms with a fireplace for the cooler months, a utility room off the kitchen and a roof terrace for outdoor use. Parking is available on the private corner garden, which also provides space for seating areas. A communal pool within the complex covers the seasonal swimming need without private maintenance obligations.
This is not a new-build project. The house dates from 1970 and has been renovated, with a modern kitchen and updated interiors. It is key-ready, meaning it can be occupied directly after purchase. As with any resale property of this age, the actual condition of installations should be verified during a technical inspection.
The property does not offer a private pool, private garage or underfloor heating. The living area of 65 m² is modest for a three-bedroom home, and the original construction dates from 1970. There is no lift, and the upper bedroom is reached via an internal staircase. Air conditioning is not listed among the features; climate control consists of a fireplace.

This property fits several recognisable situations. A buyer seeking a manageable second home near the southern Costa Blanca coast will find the fixed price, key-ready state and modest 65 m² footprint straightforward to evaluate and maintain. Households wanting a separate top-floor bedroom with en-suite and roof terrace may value the two-level layout for guests or visiting family. Long-term residents who want everyday amenities on their doorstep, pharmacies, cafés, restaurants and a fitness centre within about 1.5 km, will find the district practical outside the summer season as well. Buyers who prioritise a private pool, extensive interior space or modern build-era installations should note that this house offers a communal pool, a compact layout and 1970 origins. It also suits purchasers who prefer the character and outdoor space of a townhouse with a private garden over an apartment, while accepting shared responsibility for the communal pool area. Buyers reliant on public transport have 14 lines and roughly 50 stops in the area, though airport access at 38 km straight-line from Alicante-Elche realistically requires a car or taxi.
The interior has been renovated, and the photographic material shows a modern kitchen with wooden countertops and contemporary finishes throughout. The living room retains a fireplace, which serves as the listed climate-control feature; air conditioning is not specified in the available data, and buyers should confirm what cooling provisions are installed given summer average temperatures that reach around 26°C. The house offers two bathrooms, one of which is en-suite to the first-floor bedroom. A utility room connects directly to the kitchen. Outdoor finishes are predominantly tiled: the corner garden is tiled, as is the roof terrace, which reduces garden maintenance but limits planting. As a 1970 building, elements such as wiring, plumbing, roof construction and window frames should be assessed by a technical survey before purchase; renovation of visible surfaces does not automatically imply renewal of these installations. The communal pool is a shared facility of the residential complex, and its maintenance standard is governed by the community. Parking is an informal space on the private garden rather than a closed garage, which is common for this building type and era in the area.
The asking price is fixed at €239,000; this is an existing resale home, not a price-list project, so no unit variation applies. For context, comparable new-build apartments in Torrevieja start from roughly €160,000 to €169,000, while apartments in Urbanización El Raso start from around €227,000. The property is key-ready and can be transferred in its current renovated state. Buyers should budget separately for purchase costs (transfer tax, notary and registry fees) and, as the building dates from 1970, should factor in possible future maintenance of installations. Availability is immediate, subject to the seller's position.
Los Altos functions as a year-round residential district rather than a seasonal holiday zone. Daily life here is practical: within two kilometres there are around 25 restaurants, four pharmacies, six cafés and three dentists, which means routine errands and dining out do not require long drives. The townhouse itself is arranged over two levels. The main floor holds two bedrooms, a bathroom, the kitchen and a living room with a fireplace, with a utility room accessible from the kitchen, a layout that suits laundry and household storage without occupying living space. The first floor contains the third bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and access to the roof terrace, creating a degree of separation that works well for guests or a household where occupants keep different schedules. Outside, the tiled corner garden provides off-street parking and room for seating, and the communal pool covers the swimming season, which runs about five months at water temperatures of 20°C or above. The flat terrain (0.0% gradient to the beach, elevation of 2 m) makes walking and cycling realistic options for shorter trips, although a car remains the practical choice for beaches, golf and airport transfers.
Life in Los Altos is anchored in everyday convenience. The immediate area contains a dense cluster of services: 25 restaurants, six cafés, four pharmacies and three dentists within a two-kilometre radius, plus Snatch Fitness Center at about 1.5 km. Beaches are close but not on the doorstep: Cala de lo Ferri lies 2.0 km away as the crow flies, with Playa Rocío del Mar at 2.3 km and Cala Piteras at 2.5 km, a short drive or a manageable walk and cycle on flat terrain. Golf is a defining feature of the wider Orihuela Costa area: Villamartín Golf is 4.5 km away, with Club de Golf Villamartín at 4.7 km, Real Club de Golf Campoamor at 6.6 km and Las Ramblas de Orihuela at 7.2 km. Electric-vehicle owners can use charging points at Ionity La Zenia (4.8 km) or Iberdrola (6.4 km). With 14 public transport lines and roughly 50 stops, the district has above-average bus coverage for a coastal residential zone, although most residents use a car for beaches, shopping centres and airport trips.

Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Los Altos occupies a position between the beaches of Orihuela Costa and the salt-lake towns of the Vega Baja, on the southern edge of the Alicante province. Torrevieja is the nearest larger coastal town, with Elche (35 km) and Murcia (36 km) providing regional-scale services and hospitals. The district lies 38 km straight-line from Alicante-Elche airport, which places it firmly within the airport's catchment while remaining distant enough to avoid overhead flight noise. Within Orihuela Costa, Los Altos is one of the more residential, year-round quarters compared with the beachfront urbanisations.
Distances below are straight-line; actual road routes are longer. The nearest beach, Cala de lo Ferri, is 2.0 km away on completely flat terrain, making it reachable on foot or by bicycle in a few minutes. Two marinas, Real Club Náutico at 3.3 km and Puerto Deportivo Miguel Caballero at 7.8 km, cover mooring and waterfront leisure. Alicante-Elche Airport (ALC) lies about 38 km away, the standard arrival point for this part of the coast; Valencia (VLC) at roughly 171 km and Málaga (AGP) at 364 km are distant alternatives. Regional cities are within reach: Elche (35 km), Murcia (36 km) and Cartagena (45 km), each offering hospitals, larger retail and cultural amenities. Public transport comprises 14 lines and around 50 stops locally, which supports car-free living to a degree, though a vehicle remains the practical norm for the area.

The climate data shows a monthly average temperature range of 12–26°C and an annual mean of 18.8°C, which is a typical southern-Costa Blanca profile: mild winters and warm but not extreme summers. The swimming season lasts about five months, with sea temperatures at or above 20°C, longer than most northern European coasts and comparable with other parts of the Spanish Mediterranean. Los Altos lies at 2 m above sea level with a 0.0% gradient towards the coast, meaning there are no hills between the house and the beach; this matters for daily comfort, cycling and for residents with limited mobility. The flat, low-lying setting also means no views from ground level, the roof terrace is the point from which open sky and surroundings are visible. The fireplace listed as the home's climate-control feature is a practical addition for the cooler months of December to February, when averages drop to around 12°C.

The coastal strip near Los Altos consists mainly of coves: Cala de lo Ferri at 2.0 km, Playa Rocío del Mar at 2.3 km and Cala Piteras at 2.5 km, all within a five-minute drive. These are small, sheltered beaches rather than long sandy expanses, which affects how busy they get in August. For swimming outside the sea season, the complex's communal pool is supplemented by public options such as the pool at Parque de las Naciones I (2.9 km) and a children's pool 1.8 km away. Golfers have four courses within about 7 km, including Villamartín (4.7 km) and Campoamor (6.6 km), both established names on the Orihuela Costa. Football is represented by CF Torrevieja at 5.0 km and general fitness by Snatch Fitness Center at 1.5 km. Marinas at 3.3 km and 7.8 km cover sailing and water sports.

Flat
Within its segment, this townhouse occupies a distinct position compared with the main alternatives on the southern Costa Blanca. The comparable projects listed are all apartments: Palangre Beach in Torrevieja from €160,000, Edificio Sun & Center (key-ready) in Torrevieja from €169,000, and Oasis Laguna Fase II in Urbanización El Raso from €227,000. Against these, the Los Altos property offers €239,000 as a fixed price for what a resale apartment at this level cannot provide: a private corner garden with parking space, a roof terrace and direct street-level access without communal stairwells or lifts. The trade-offs are equally concrete. The 65 m² living area is compact for three bedrooms, the building dates from 1970 rather than current building regulations, and the pool is communal rather than private. Location-wise, Los Altos sits marginally further from the sea than the beachfront Torrevieja options, 2.0 km straight-line to the nearest cove, but it compensates with a year-round residential character and a denser spread of everyday amenities within walking and cycling distance, including four pharmacies and a fitness centre at 1.5 km. Compared with El Raso, which is a purpose-built urbanisation near La Mata's natural park, Los Altos is more embedded in existing local infrastructure with 14 bus lines and roughly 50 stops. For buyers weighing an apartment against a house form at a similar budget, the decision effectively comes down to build era and interior space on one side, and private outdoor area plus typology on the other. All figures are indicative and subject to availability at the time of enquiry.
