This three-bedroom townhouse is located in Los Balcones, a residential area on the southern Costa Blanca in the province of Alicante. The property, completed in 1970 and now key-ready, offers 70 m² of living space across three levels, with a private front garden, a balcony, and a rooftop terrace. The asking price is fixed at €160,000 and the home is sold fully furnished. A communal pool and a supermarket are within walking distance, while the nearest beaches lie roughly 2.4 km away as the crow flies. The area is flat and served by multiple bus lines.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Los Balcones sits inland from the Orihuela Costa coastline, roughly 2.4 km from the nearest cove at Cala de lo Ferri. The immediate surroundings include twelve restaurants, three pharmacies and a dentist within 2 km. The terrain is flat, with an average gradient under 1% towards the sea. Alicante-Elche airport lies approximately 38 km away in a straight line.
The house combines a lounge-dining area, a modernised kitchen with appliances, two double bedrooms on the first floor and a loft bedroom above. A balcony off the main bedroom overlooks the communal garden, and the loft opens onto a small terrace. Air conditioning, WiFi and full furnishing are included, which lowers the practical threshold for use as a residence or a holiday home.
This is an existing property, not a new-build project. Construction was completed in 1970 and the home is available immediately, key-ready. There is no delivery schedule or construction phase to take into account; the purchase process concerns a resale transaction with a fixed asking price of €160,000.
The property has one bathroom only, which limits suitability for larger households or simultaneous guests. There is no private garage; parking is open and unassigned. With 70 m² across three floors, room sizes are compact and stairs connect every level. The property dates from 1970, so buyers should factor the age of the construction into their assessment.
Several buyer profiles may find this property relevant. A first-time buyer seeking a foothold on the Spanish coast at a modest budget gets a furnished, immediately usable home with three bedrooms and access to a pool. Buyers looking for a lock-up-and-leave holiday home benefit from the compact size, the furnished condition and the walkable amenities, which reduce the burden of occasional use. Investors considering rental use should note the location near beaches, golf courses and bus lines, factors that support seasonal demand, though rental income depends on licensing and management choices. The house also suits a single person or couple who want a permanent residence with a spare bedroom and a loft for guests or a hobby room. Less suitable are large families who need more than one bathroom, or buyers who require a private garage, a large garden or modern energy performance. The 1970 construction and the single bathroom are the two structural factors that frame whether this home fits a buyer's situation.
The interior reflects a modernisation at some point after the original 1970 construction. The kitchen has been renewed and comes with appliances, including a washing machine, which is confirmed in the available photographs showing a compact but functional layout. The dining area features wooden flooring, while other levels combine tiled and wooden surfaces typical of refurbished Spanish resales. Air conditioning provides climate control for the warmest months, and the property is connected for WiFi. The bathrooms remain at shower-room standard rather than a full family bathroom. Windows and French doors on the first floor open onto the balcony, and the loft accesses a small terrace. Buyers should treat a 1970 building with realistic expectations: while the visible finishes have been updated, elements such as insulation, plumbing, electrical installations and window frames may partly date from earlier renovation cycles. A technical inspection before purchase is the standard way to establish the actual condition of these systems. What the property offers in material terms is a maintained, furnished and directly habitable home, not a new-build standard of construction.
The asking price is fixed at €160,000 for the property as a whole, including furniture. This positions the home at the entry level of the Costa Blanca market: comparable new-build projects nearby start at similar figures, but those are typically apartments of comparable or smaller size sold from a price list. Buyers should budget separately for purchase costs such as transfer tax, notary fees and registry fees, which are not included in the asking price. Ongoing costs include community fees for the shared pool and garden, annual property tax (IBI) and utilities. Because this is a resale, the price is negotiable in practice between buyer and seller, but the quoted figure is a fixed asking price rather than a starting price for a range of units.
The house is arranged over three narrow floors, a layout typical of Spanish townhouses of this period. The ground floor holds the lounge-dining area and a modernised kitchen with appliances, including a washing machine. The first floor contains two double bedrooms and the shower room; the main bedroom has French doors onto a balcony facing the communal garden. A staircase continues to a loft bedroom with access to a small terrace, the highest and quietest outdoor space of the house. Outside, a tiled front garden offers room for outdoor dining, directly adjacent to the street. The communal pool is a short walk away, as is a supermarket. Daily life here is oriented around the neighbourhood itself: errands, swimming and meals out can all be done on foot, while the beaches of the Orihuela Costa are a few minutes away by car or bus. Los Balcones functions year-round, with pharmacies, dentists and cafes within 2 km, so the area does not empty out completely outside the summer season. For a buyer seeking a modest, furnished base near the coast, the house offers a workable daily rhythm with limited maintenance obligations.
Los Balcones is a residential district within the Torrevieja, Orihuela Costa conurbation on the southern Costa Blanca. The area sits at approximately 24 m above sea level on flat terrain, so walking and cycling are practical on most routes. Within 2 km, residents can reach twelve restaurants, three pharmacies, three dentists and a cafe, alongside a supermarket within walking distance of the house itself. Public transport is well developed for a district of this size, with fifteen bus lines and fifty stops in the surrounding area, which reduces dependence on a car for local trips. The nearest coastal swimming spots, Cala de lo Ferri and Playa Rocío del Mar, lie about 2.4 to 2.6 km away as the crow flies, with Playa Punta Prima slightly further at 2.8 km; road distances to these beaches are longer. Larger urban centres are within regional reach: Elche lies roughly 34 km away in a straight line, Murcia 35 km and Cartagena 46 km. This places the district in a triangle of cities that offer hospitals, universities, shopping and cultural facilities beyond what the immediate neighbourhood provides. Day-to-day life, however, is largely local and low-key, organised around the neighbourhood's own shops, pool and cafes.
The map shows the position of the townhouse in Los Balcones relative to the Orihuela Costa beaches, the golf courses to the south and the city of Torrevieja. The flat terrain and the short distances to coast and amenities characterise this part of the southern Costa Blanca, a region shaped by year-round international residency and Mediterranean outdoor living.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Los Balcones occupies a position between Torrevieja and the Orihuela Costa urbanisations, inland of the coastal strip but within easy reach of it. Within the province of Alicante, it lies in the far south, close to the boundary with Murcia, which explains the short straight-line distance to both Murcia city (35 km) and Cartagena (46 km) alongside Elche (34 km). On the Costa Blanca as a whole, the district belongs to the southern, warmer and flatter section of the coast, an area popular with international residents and known for its concentration of golf courses and urbanisations. The proximity of Alicante-Elche airport, 38 km away, connects the location to the wider European travel network.
The nearest beach, Cala de lo Ferri, is 2.4 km away as the crow flies, an easy few minutes by car or a walkable distance on flat terrain for most residents. Golf is well represented: Club de Golf Villamartín lies roughly 4.0 km away, Real Club de Golf Campoamor 5.8 km and Las Ramblas de Orihuela 6.4 km. Two marinas, Real Club Náutico at 4.1 km and Puerto Deportivo Miguel Caballero at 7.3 km, serve the coast. For electric vehicle owners, charging points operated by Ionity, Iberdrola and Eranovum are located between 4.3 and 6.2 km from the house. Alicante-Elche airport (ALC) is approximately 38 km away in a straight line, the primary gateway for international travel; Valencia and Málaga airports, at roughly 171 km and 363 km respectively, are alternatives for specific routes. A car remains the most flexible means of transport for regional trips, but the fifteen bus lines and fifty stops in the area provide a genuine public transport option for daily needs.

The local climate is Mediterranean with an average annual temperature of 18.7 °C and monthly averages ranging from about 12 °C in winter to 26 °C in summer. Winters are consequently mild, with heating needs limited to a few months, while summers are warm and make the air conditioning a practical feature. The swimming season extends to about five months per year, during which sea temperatures hold at 20 °C or above, roughly from late spring into early autumn. The elevation of 24 m above sea level, combined with a gradient under 1% towards the coast, means the landscape is essentially flat, with no significant climbs on routes to the beach or to local amenities. Outdoor living is therefore feasible for most of the year, whether on the front garden, the balcony or the loft terrace. Rainfall is concentrated in the cooler months, in line with the regional pattern, leaving long dry stretches in summer that suit the area's outdoor and pool-oriented rhythm.

The coastline near Los Balcones offers a series of sandy coves and beaches, with Cala de lo Ferri the closest at 2.4 km as the crow flies, followed by Playa Rocío del Mar at 2.6 km and Playa Punta Prima at 2.8 km. These beaches sit within a short drive or bus ride, making spontaneous visits realistic rather than a planned outing. Golf is a defining recreational feature of this stretch of coast: three courses, Villamartín, Campoamor and Las Ramblas de Orihuela, lie between 4.0 and 6.4 km away, giving players a choice of layouts within ten minutes of the house. A communal pool 1.0 km away and the pool within the property's own community cover daily swimming needs. For fitness, a sports centre is located 2.0 km from the property. Sailing and marina facilities are available at Real Club Náutico (4.1 km) and Puerto Deportivo Miguel Caballero (7.3 km). A viewpoint at Torrejieja, 4.7 km away, offers an accessible destination for walks with a coastal panorama.

Within the immediate regional market, this townhouse competes primarily with new-build apartments in Torrevieja and the surrounding urbanisations. Two comparable projects in Torrevieja, Palangre Beach and Edificio Sun & Center, advertise starting prices of €160,000 and €169,000 respectively, while Oasis Laguna 2 in Urbanización El Raso starts at €227,000. The distinguishing factor of this property is its format and condition relative to price: at the same entry level as the cheapest new-build apartments, the buyer receives a three-bedroom, three-level house with a private garden, a balcony, a rooftop terrace and full furnishings, rather than a one or two-bedroom flat. The trade-off is age and layout. A 1970 construction with a single bathroom cannot match the thermal performance, lift access and shared facilities of a contemporary development, and the 70 m² is spread across floors connected by stairs. Location-wise, Los Balcones is slightly inland compared with beachfront projects in Torrevieja, but the difference amounts to roughly 2.4 km to the nearest cove, and in return the district offers a year-round residential character with established services: pharmacies, dentists, restaurants and a dense bus network. Buyers weighing the southern Costa Blanca against other parts of the region should also note the proximity of three golf courses within 6.5 km and the two major cities of Murcia and Elche at roughly 35 km, which broadens both employment and service options. The province records a median income of €15,750, a figure that contextualises local purchasing power and the relatively accessible price level of resale housing in this district. For buyers whose priority is space and outdoor areas per euro rather than new-build specification, this property occupies a distinct position in the local market.
