A renovated ground floor studio of 27 m² for sale at a fixed asking price of €89,900 in the Playa de los Locos area of Torrevieja, on the southern Costa Blanca. The property has one bathroom, a private terrace of approximately 5 m² facing the courtyard, and is sold fully furnished. Built in 1970 and completed to a key-ready standard, it sits roughly 250 metres from Los Locos beach, with shops, restaurants and town services within walking distance. The building has an elevator, and the studio is equipped with air conditioning and an alarm system, making it usable as a compact year-round residence or as a seasonal base.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The studio lies in the Playa de los Locos district, a consolidated residential area of Torrevieja. The beach of the same name is about 250 metres away on foot, and Cala del Palangre sits 0.3 km further along the coast. Playa del Cura is roughly 0.9 km away as the crow flies. Shops, cafés and the town centre are all within a short walking radius, so daily errands do not require a car.
The property is arranged as a single open living and sleeping space with a separate bathroom and a small private terrace. It has been renovated with a new kitchen including household appliances, and a recently modernised bathroom. Air conditioning provides climate control throughout the year. The compact footprint and full furnishing make it a low-maintenance option for short stays, seasonal use or rental.
This is an existing home, not a new-build project. The building dates from 1970 and has seven floors with an elevator. The interior has been renovated in recent years, including the kitchen, bathroom and fittings, and the property is delivered key-ready. The 1970 construction date and renovation status are stated as recorded; buyers should verify the exact scope of works through documentation.
The property does not offer a separate bedroom, parking space, storage room, garden or communal pool. Living space is limited to approximately 27 m² plus a 5 m² terrace, which restricts layouts for more than two occupants. There is no mention of a lift-serviced garage, heating system beyond air conditioning, or community facilities. Buyers needing more space, privacy or parking should factor in these constraints.

The property fits a recognisable set of buyer situations. First, buyers seeking an affordable foothold on the Spanish coast: at €89,900, fully furnished and renovated, the entry cost is well below that of new-build apartments in the same town. Second, people wanting a low-maintenance second home near the beach, where the 250-metre walk to Los Locos beach and the walkable neighbourhood remove the need for a car during stays. Third, investors considering seasonal rental use, since the location and layout are consistent with holiday-let demand, subject to local licensing rules that the buyer must verify. Fourth, single occupants or couples planning extended winter stays, for whom the air conditioning, elevator and year-round services of Torrevieja matter more than floor area. It fits less well for families needing separate bedrooms, for buyers who want a pool, garden or parking on title, or for those who prioritise modern building standards, given the 1970 construction date. The courtyard-facing terrace also means no sea view, which matters to buyers for whom outlook is a deciding factor. In short, this is a property bought for location and price efficiency rather than space.
The interior has been renovated with new fittings throughout, according to the seller's information. The kitchen is new and includes household appliances, which is significant in a compact unit where an equipped kitchen avoids immediate additional spending. The bathroom has been recently renovated; the photographic material shows marble-look tiling and modern white sanitary ware. The living space combines a dining area with a blue sofa, mirrors and white bedroom furniture, and the property is sold fully furnished, allowing use from the day of completion. Technical provision includes air conditioning for both cooling and heating of the single space, an alarm system, drinkable water and electricity connections. The building itself dates from 1970 and stands seven floors high with an elevator, so the common structure reflects its era rather than contemporary specifications; no information is available on recent facade, roof or installation upgrades to the building, and buyers should request the community's maintenance records and technical inspection report (ITE) where applicable. Finishing quality inside the unit appears consistent with a recent cosmetic renovation. Energy performance documentation is not stated and should be requested. Overall, the unit is move-in ready at apartment level, while the building envelope should be assessed as a 1970s construction.
The studio is offered at a fixed asking price of €89,900. This is an existing, key-ready property, so the price applies to the specific unit rather than acting as an entry point to a price list. The price includes the full furnishing and the completed renovations to the kitchen and bathroom. Within the local market, comparable new-build projects in Torrevieja start from roughly €160,000 to €169,000 for larger apartments, which places this studio at the lower end of the coastal market due to its size and the age of the building. Availability is immediate, subject to the standard Spanish purchase process. Additional purchase costs, including transfer tax, notary and registry fees, apply on top of the asking price.
This studio functions as a compact, self-contained unit in a walkable coastal neighbourhood. The single room combines living, dining and sleeping areas, with the kitchen integrated into the space and the bathroom separately enclosed. The terrace faces the inner courtyard, which reduces street noise in the evenings and provides an outdoor extension of the living area for morning coffee or meals. Daily life here is organised around proximity: the beach is a few minutes' walk, cafés, restaurants, pharmacies and banks are within the immediate blocks, and the town centre of Torrevieja can be reached on foot. The area is flat, with an average gradient of about 1.7% toward the sea, so walking and cycling are practical for most errands. The studio's size means it suits shorter stays, single occupancy or couples, rather than family living. Its configuration and furnishings allow it to be used immediately after purchase, whether as a personal base by the sea, a pied-à-terre during the mild winter months, or a rental unit during the roughly five-month swimming season when sea temperatures reach 20°C or more. Torrevieja itself has around 65,000 inhabitants and remains active outside the summer, so the neighbourhood does not empty completely in the off-season, although footfall near the beach is noticeably lower between November and March.
Living in Playa de los Locos revolves around the coastline and the services packed into the surrounding blocks. Within two kilometres, the neighbourhood counts roughly 170 restaurants, 47 cafés, 27 pharmacies, 24 banks and 27 dentists, meaning almost every daily need is met without a vehicle. Three schools serve the wider area, so the district is not purely seasonal. The beach of Los Locos itself is 0.1 km away, Cala del Palangre 0.3 km, and Playa del Cura about 0.9 km as the crow flies, giving a choice of sandy and rocky bathing spots within a short walk. The Real Club Náutico marina is 2.0 km away, and the Palacio de Deportes Infanta Cristina sports centre sits 1.9 km from the door. The terrain is essentially flat at around 20 metres above sea level, with a gentle 1.7% gradient toward the shore, so walking distances feel shorter than the numbers suggest. Public transport is well represented for a town of this size, with 12 lines and 50 stops, connecting the district to the rest of Torrevieja and nearby towns. The area is busiest in July and August; in the shoulder seasons and winter it quiets down while core services remain open year round.
The map shows the studio's position in the Playa de los Locos quarter, 250 metres from its namesake beach and within the flat coastal grid of Torrevieja. Markers indicate nearby coves, the marina, sports facilities and the road connections toward Alicante airport, Elche and Murcia.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Torrevieja occupies a position on the southern Costa Blanca, roughly midway between the cities of Alicante (44 km straight-line) and Murcia (39 km), and south of Elche (32 km). The town functions as a service and residential hub for the surrounding coastal belt, with a permanent population of about 65,000 that swells considerably in summer. Within the regional hierarchy, Torrevieja offers urban density and beach living at prices below those of Marbella or the central Costa del Sol, while remaining within an hour of Alicante airport. Playa de los Locos sits on the northern side of the town centre, close to the seafront but in a settled residential grid rather than the busiest tourist strip.
Accessibility is one of the strengths of this location. Alicante-Elche Airport (ALC) lies approximately 36 km away as the crow flies, reachable by car in well under an hour along the AP-7 or N-332; transfer times by taxi or bus are straightforward. Valencia Airport is roughly 169 km away and Málaga-Costa del Sol about 367 km, making Alicante the practical gateway. Within Torrevieja, the studio's position 250 metres from the beach means most daily destinations are on foot. For excursions, Elche lies 32 km in a straight line, Murcia 39 km and Alicante city 44 km, each accessible by road or intercity bus. Golfers can reach Club de Golf Villamartín at 9.9 km, Real Club de Golf Campoamor at 11.8 km and Las Ramblas de Orihuela at 12.1 km, all within a 15-20 minute drive. The nearest electric-vehicle charging points, operated by Iberdrola, are 7.3 to 7.9 km away. Twelve public transport lines and 50 stops cover the town, so a car is optional for daily living here, though useful for regional travel.

The local climate is a core reason for the area's popularity among international buyers. The average annual temperature is 18.7°C, with monthly averages ranging from about 12°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer, giving mild winters and warm but not extreme summers by Mediterranean standards. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts around five months, typically from late May to early October. The studio sits at approximately 20 metres above sea level on flat terrain, so there are no stairs to climb between home and beach beyond the building's own elevator. Rainfall is low by European standards, and sunshine hours are high, which supports year-round use of the terrace and the outdoor lifestyle of the neighbourhood. The proximity of the La Mata and Torrevieja salt lagoons, a short drive inland, adds a distinctive natural feature to the surrounding landscape, though the immediate street scene is urban rather than green.

Beach access is the defining recreational asset of this address. Playa de Los Locos is roughly 250 metres from the door, a sandy urban beach with lifeguard services and promenade facilities typical of Torrevieja's coastline. Cala del Palangre, 0.3 km away, offers a smaller rocky cove for quieter swimming and snorkelling, while Playa del Cura at about 0.9 km is a longer sandy stretch backed by the town's main seafront paseo. Beyond swimming, the Real Club Náutico marina at 2.0 km supports sailing and water sports, and the Palacio de Deportes Infanta Cristina at 1.9 km provides indoor sports facilities. The local football club, CF Torrevieja, plays 2.2 km away. For golf, three 18-hole courses, Villamartín, Campoamor and Las Ramblas de Orihuela, lie between 9.9 and 12.1 km away, among the most concentrated golf offerings on the southern Costa Blanca. Walking and cycling along the flat coastal promenade are practical daily activities given the terrain.

Within its immediate market, this studio occupies a distinct position. Comparable new-build projects in Torrevieja, such as Apartments Palangre Beach (from €160,000), Edificio Sun & Center (from €169,000) and Oasis Laguna 2 Phase II in Urbanización El Raso (from €227,000), all start at prices roughly double or more this asking price, though they offer larger floor areas, modern construction and communal facilities. The trade-off for the buyer is clear: at €89,900, this unit provides a renovated, furnished interior and an unbeatable walking distance to the beach, but on 27 m² in a 1970s building without pool or parking. Against the wider Costa Blanca, Torrevieja is known as one of the more affordable coastal towns with full urban services, a permanent population of about 65,000 and international demand driven partly by the climate, an annual average of 18.7°C, and the proximity of two major cities, Alicante and Murcia, both within about 45 km. Properties this close to the sand in more northerly coastal towns such as Alicante city itself, 44 km away, typically command higher prices per square metre. For buyers comparing investment logic, the studio's lower entry price reduces capital exposure, while rental income potential depends on seasonal demand concentrated in the roughly five-month warm-water season; buyers should verify current tourist-licence regulations in Torrevieja before assuming rental use. Compared with inland options in El Raso and surrounding urbanisations, the studio trades green space and communal pools for urban density and immediate beach access, a choice that defines the decision between the two segments of this local market.
