A furnished two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment in Los Balcones, an established residential area of Torrevieja on the southern Costa Blanca. The property has 78 m² of living space on a 134 m² plot and is offered at a fixed asking price of €294,000. Its distinguishing feature is a private rooftop solarium of roughly the same size as the apartment, fitted with a pergola, outdoor kitchen and dining area. A private garden, garage parking and storage room are included. The nearest beach, Cala de lo Ferri, lies approximately 2.4 km away as the crow flies.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Los Balcones is a residential district within Torrevieja, situated inland of the coast at a low elevation of around 24 metres. The nearest beaches lie between 2.4 and 2.8 km away in a straight line. Twelve restaurants and three pharmacies operate within a two-kilometre radius, and the area is served by 15 public transport lines with 50 stops.
The home combines two bedrooms, an en-suite bathroom, air conditioning and an open-plan living area with a fitted kitchen. Outdoor space is extensive: a private garden plus a rooftop solarium equipped for year-round use. Communal facilities include a swimming pool and landscaped gardens. Parking and a storage room are part of the purchase.
This is not a new-build development. The property was completed in 1970 and is now key-ready, sold fully furnished. No construction phase or delivery schedule applies; the buyer can occupy the home immediately after completion of the purchase, subject to the usual Spanish conveyancing process.
The building dates from 1970, which carries implications for insulation standards, layout conventions and long-term maintenance compared with current new-build regulations. There is no underfloor heating, lift access is not confirmed, and the apartment measures 78 m², which limits interior space. The beach is not within walking distance for most residents.
This property suits buyers who prioritise outdoor living space and immediate usability over new-build specifications. A retired or semi-retired couple seeking a move-in-ready base on the Costa Blanca can occupy it without renovation or furnishing projects. Owners who want a holiday home with rental-free personal use benefit from the furnished condition and the communal pool. Buyers with a fixed budget under €300,000 who still want two bathrooms, private parking and substantial private outdoor areas, rare at this price level, will find the solarium the decisive feature. It also fits purchasers who accept a 1970 building in exchange for a lower entry price than the surrounding new-build supply. Conversely, buyers requiring a lift, modern insulation standards, walk-to-beach distance or brand-new construction should compare carefully with the new-build phases in the same district. The need for a car for beach and broader shopping trips is a practical reality to factor in.
The property is delivered fully furnished and turnkey, which removes the usual furnishing project after purchase. The kitchen is fully fitted, and the interior photos show a modern, open-plan living space and bedrooms with garden or patio views. Air conditioning is installed for climate control, an essential feature given summer temperatures averaging up to 26°C monthly in the region. As a 1970 building, the construction predates current technical building code standards: thermal insulation, window glazing quality and acoustic separation should be assessed during a viewing or structural survey rather than assumed to match new-build norms. The presence of two full bathrooms, including an en-suite, is a practical layout advantage not always found in apartments of this era and size. The solarium's existing pergola and outdoor kitchen represent installed value that a buyer would otherwise add at extra cost. A storage room and private garage parking are included, covering both seasonal storage and vehicle security. Prospective buyers are advised to request documentation on any renovations carried out, electrical, plumbing or roofing, to establish which elements have been modernised since the original construction.
The property is offered at a fixed asking price of €294,000 as an existing, key-ready home sold fully furnished. This positions it below the two new-build comparable projects in Los Balcones, both of which start from €330,000, and considerably below the €475,000 starting level in Rojales. The price covers two bedrooms, two bathrooms, 78 m² of living space, a private garden, a rooftop solarium, garage parking and a storage room. Buyers should budget separately for purchase costs in Spain, including transfer tax, notary and registry fees, and should verify annual community fees and IBI property tax before committing.
Daily life in this apartment revolves around the balance between compact indoor living and generous outdoor space. The 78 m² interior is laid out practically: an open-plan living and dining area connects to a fitted kitchen, while two bedrooms and two bathrooms, one en-suite, serve a couple or a small family without morning queues. The real extension of the home sits above and beside it. The rooftop solarium, approximately the same footprint as the apartment, is already arranged with a pergola, outdoor kitchen, dining area and sun loungers, effectively adding a second living floor in the open air. Mornings can begin with breakfast on the solarium; in the hotter months the pergola provides shade for daytime use, while the private garden offers ground-level space for plants or quiet evenings. The communal pool and landscaped gardens cover the swimming need without private maintenance obligations. Los Balcones itself is described as a quiet residential area, meaning the rhythm is domestic rather than touristic: shops, restaurants and pharmacies within two kilometres handle everyday errands, and a car is the practical mode for beach trips, with Cala de lo Ferri roughly 2.4 km away as the crow flies. Out of season, the area retains its residential character rather than emptying like purely holiday zones.
Los Balcones functions as a settled residential district rather than a resort zone. Within a two-kilometre radius, the data lists twelve restaurants, three pharmacies, three dentists and a cafe, indicating that daily needs are met locally without depending on Torrevieja town centre. A gym, Snatch Fitness Center, lies 2.0 km away for regular exercise. The communal pool within the residence itself covers swimming on site, and a public swimming pool is recorded 1.0 km from the property. Public transport is comparatively strong for a suburban district: 15 lines and 50 stops serve the area, which reduces, though does not eliminate, car dependency. The surrounding terrain is flat, with a gradient to the beach of about 0.9%, so walking and cycling are realistic for shorter trips. The nearest beaches, Cala de lo Ferri at 2.4 km, Playa Rocío del Mar at 2.6 km and Playa Punta Prima at 2.8 km, all straight-line, sit within a short drive. Supermarket runs, medical appointments and dining can largely be handled within the district and neighbouring Punta Prima.
The map shows the property's position in Los Balcones relative to Torrevieja's coastline, with the nearest beaches at 2.4–2.8 km straight-line and the Orihuela Costa golf courses a short drive south. Alicante-Elche Airport lies roughly 38 km to the north-east.

Los Balcones lies on the inland edge of Torrevieja, close to the boundary with Orihuela Costa and the southern Costa Blanca's golf belt. Regional cities Elche (34 km) and Murcia (35 km) frame the area to the north and south-west, with Cartagena at 46 km. The district's position, residential and quiet, yet within a short drive of beaches, three golf courses and the La Zenia retail corridor, defines its role in the wider region: a value-oriented residential base rather than a front-line resort location.
Distances below are straight-line; road distances are longer. The nearest beach, Cala de lo Ferri, lies 2.4 km away, with Playa Rocío del Mar and Playa Punta Prima at 2.6 and 2.8 km. Two marinas, Real Club Náutico at 4.1 km and Puerto Deportivo Miguel Caballero at 7.3 km, serve boating and waterfront dining. Golfers can reach Villamartín Golf at 3.7–4.0 km, Real Club de Golf Campoamor at 5.8 km and Las Ramblas de Orihuela at 6.4 km. Electric-vehicle charging is available at Ionity La Zenia (4.3 km) and at Iberdrola and Eranovum points around 6 km. Alicante-Elche Airport is approximately 38 km away, making it the natural arrival hub; Valencia sits 171 km distant and Málaga 363 km. Larger regional cities, Elche (34 km), Murcia (35 km) and Cartagena (46 km), provide wider shopping, hospital and cultural infrastructure. Public transport with 15 local lines supports day-to-day mobility.

The location sits at just 24 metres above sea level on flat coastal terrain, with a gradient toward the beach of under one percent, no hill climbing is involved in daily life. The climate is typical of the southern Costa Blanca: average monthly temperatures range from 12°C in the coolest month to 26°C in summer, with an annual average of 18.7°C. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts around five months. Winters are mild enough for year-round use of the solarium and garden, with the pergola extending comfort into the shoulder seasons. Rainfall is low in relative terms for Spain's Mediterranean coast, and the area records a high number of sunshine hours. The flat surroundings and coastal proximity also encourage walking and cycling as practical transport. Climate control is limited to air conditioning; the 1970 construction means summer heat management relies partly on this system rather than modern passive insulation.

The immediate coastline offers several beaches within three kilometres: Cala de lo Ferri (2.4 km), Playa Rocío del Mar (2.6 km) and Playa Punta Prima (2.8 km), giving residents a choice of coves and larger strands. For golf, the location is well placed relative to the Orihuela Costa strip: Villamartín Golf is under four kilometres away, with Real Club de Golf Campoamor and Las Ramblas de Orihuela within 5.8 and 6.4 km, three courses inside a ten-minute drive. Waterfront recreation extends to two marinas, Real Club Náutico (4.1 km) and Puerto Deportivo Miguel Caballero (7.3 km). A viewpoint at Torrejieja (4.7 km) offers an outlook over the coast. Day-to-day fitness is covered by Snatch Fitness Center at 2.0 km and the communal pool in the residence itself. The flat terrain makes the area walkable, and the five-month warm-water season supports swimming, snorkelling and beach life from late spring into autumn.

Within Los Balcones itself, the supply is currently dominated by new-build phases: NATURE VIEWS Phase 4 and BALCONES DE LA LAGUNA Phase VII both start from €330,000. At €294,000 as a fixed price, this 1970 apartment sits roughly €36,000 below the entry point of those developments while offering two bathrooms, private parking and a solarium that new-build units at entry level may not match. The trade-off is construction age: a 1970 building will not meet current insulation and technical standards unless documented renovations have been carried out, and common areas should be inspected. Further afield, OCEANIC APARTMENTS in Rojales starts from €475,000, reflecting a higher specification and a different micro-market. Regionally, Los Balcones competes on value: median provincial income in the area stands at €15,750, and the district's role in the Costa Blanca market is that of an affordable residential base near the Orihuela Costa golf courses and the La Zenia commercial corridor. For buyers weighing this apartment against new build, the comparison comes down to immediate cost and usable outdoor space versus modern construction standards, warranties and community infrastructure. The flat terrain, transport coverage of 15 lines and proximity of three golf courses within 6.5 km apply equally to old and new stock in the district, which is why the price differential is the central factor in the decision. Elche, Murcia and Cartagena, at 34, 35 and 46 km respectively, anchor the wider regional economy and hospital provision.
