A furnished second-floor penthouse on Calle Bergantín in Torrevieja, offering 54 m² of built space with two bedrooms, one bathroom and a 10 m² south-facing terrace. The property is key-ready, completed in 1970, and includes air conditioning, an open-plan kitchen and living room, and access to a communal pool. The asking price is fixed at €125,000. The home sits in a built-up coastal neighbourhood with a supermarket 47 metres away and Platja del Cura roughly 559 metres away as the crow flies, placing daily amenities and the seafront within walking distance.
Within its immediate market, this penthouse is positioned at the accessible end of the price range. Comparable new-build apartments in Torrevieja carry higher entry prices: Palangre Beach lists from about €160,000 and Panorama Beach from roughly €155,000, while the Oceanic development in Rojales starts near €475,000. The difference of €30,000 or more against the nearest new-build alternatives reflects three factors: the 1970 construction date, the absence of an elevator, and the modest 54 m² footprint with a single bathroom. What the buyer receives in exchange is location and immediacy, a walkable central setting 47 metres from a supermarket and about 559 metres from the beach, transferred furnished and ready for occupation without waiting for a construction phase. Compared with the wider region, Torrevieja differs from the villa and golf-resort zones inland towards Orihuela Costa and Rojales. Those areas offer newer buildings, larger plots and private pools but require a car for almost every errand. Here, the urban fabric of a town of nearly 99,000 inhabitants supports a car-light lifestyle, with 168 restaurants, 27 pharmacies and 24 banks within two kilometres, and public transport comprising 14 lines. Regional positioning is also practical: Alicante-Elche Airport lies roughly 35 km away as the crow flies, and the cities of Elche, Murcia and Alicante sit within about 32 to 44 km. For buyers weighing this property against new-build alternatives, the trade-off is essentially period construction and stairs on one side against a lower entry price and established, walkable surroundings on the other. Buyers prioritising modern standards, elevators and included parking will find the nearby new developments more aligned with those requirements, at a correspondingly higher cost.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The penthouse stands in an urban district of Torrevieja, a Mediterranean city on the Costa Blanca. A supermarket lies 47 metres from the door and a pharmacy 174 metres, both within an easy walk. Platja del Cura sits about 559 metres away in a straight line, with Playa del Cura and Cala del Palangre nearby. The terrain towards the coast is flat, with a gradient of roughly 0.8 per cent.
The layout serves two residents or a small family: two bedrooms, one bathroom, and an open-plan kitchen and living room of 54 m² in total. Air conditioning is installed and the property comes fully furnished, so occupation is possible directly after purchase. The 10 m² south-facing terrace receives sun through the middle of the day, and a communal pool is available in the building's courtyard.
This is not a new-build project. The building dates from 1970 and the unit is key-ready, meaning construction was completed decades ago and the home is available in its current, immediately habitable condition. There is no delivery schedule to take into account and no off-plan phase; the purchase concerns an existing property transferred in its present state.
Several limitations should be noted. The building has no elevator and the unit is on the second floor, so stairs are part of daily access. There is no private pool, only a communal one. Parking is not mentioned as an included feature. With 54 m² of built area and a single bathroom, capacity is limited to smaller households. The property dates from 1970, so construction and installations reflect that period.
This property suits a buyer seeking a low-cost, immediately usable base on the Costa Blanca. Recognisable situations include a couple wanting a second home within walking distance of shops and the beach, an owner planning seasonal stays who values a furnished, turnkey transfer, or an investor looking for an entry-level rental unit in a town with year-round services. The compact 54 m² layout and single bathroom make it less suitable for larger families or buyers wanting generous space. The absence of an elevator means the second-floor position requires regular stair use; buyers with mobility constraints should weigh this. Daily life without a car is realistic here: the supermarket, pharmacy, banks and a large share of the town's restaurants are within walking or cycling distance, and the town operates 14 public transport lines with 50 stops. Buyers wanting a private pool, a garage included in the price, or modern new-build construction standards should instead consider the nearby developments listed at higher entry prices. For those whose priority is proximity to the sea and everyday amenities at the lowest possible entry cost, the profile of this home matches that brief.
The property is delivered fully furnished and equipped with air conditioning, which limits the immediate work needed before occupation. The interior combines a kitchen and dining area with white cabinet fronts and a fridge, connected to an open living and dining space; photographic material shows a compact, bright arrangement rather than a recently renovated luxury finish. The building stems from 1970, and the construction techniques, insulation levels and installations reflect that era, meaning buyers should expect conventional Spanish building methods of the period rather than contemporary energy performance. The 10 m² terrace is private and south-facing, with a covered balcony section furnished for dining. The communal areas include a pool and patio in the courtyard, maintained collectively by the community of owners. As with any property of this age, a technical survey before purchase is a sensible step to assess the state of wiring, plumbing and the roof structure, since penthouses sit directly beneath the roof plane. No details are available about recent upgrades to windows, heating or hot water systems, so these points belong on the inspection checklist. Overall, the finishing level matches a practical, ready-to-occupy home priced at €125,000 rather than a premium refurbishment.
The asking price is fixed at €125,000 for this existing home; it is not part of a price list and should not be read as an entry price for a range of units. Within the local market, this positions the property below nearby new-build options: comparable apartments in Torrevieja such as Palangre Beach start from around €160,000 and Panorama Beach from roughly €155,000, while new developments further inland in Rojales begin at about €475,000. The property is key-ready and furnished, so additional spending on fittings is limited to renovation choices the buyer may wish to make on a 1970 building. Availability concerns a single unit, so interest depends on the current status of this specific home.
Daily life here revolves around the compact footprint of a furnished city penthouse placed in the middle of a functioning Spanish coastal town. The morning routine can be done almost entirely on foot: the supermarket is 47 metres away, the pharmacy 174 metres, and the immediate area counts 27 pharmacies, 24 banks and 168 restaurants within two kilometres. The open-plan kitchen and living room form one continuous space of modest dimensions, workable for couples or as a holiday base, while the two bedrooms allow a guest or a home office corner. The south-facing terrace of 10 m² functions as the main outdoor room, catching midday and afternoon sun, with a covered section that permits dining outside even in hotter months. Because the flat is on the second floor without an elevator, residents accept a short staircase in exchange for the rooftop-level position and terrace. The communal pool in the courtyard provides a swimming option beyond the sea, which lies about 559 metres away in a straight line. Torrevieja itself has roughly 98,533 registered inhabitants, so the town keeps its services running through the winter rather than closing in the off-season, which matters for anyone planning extended stays outside the summer holidays.
The neighbourhood functions as everyday urban Spain rather than a resort enclave. Within two kilometres there are 168 restaurants, 44 cafés, 27 pharmacies, 27 dentists, 24 banks and three schools, which indicates a resident-oriented infrastructure that keeps operating outside the tourist season. The supermarket 47 metres from the entrance makes grocery shopping a matter of minutes on foot. The hospital lies about 4.0 km away in a straight line, a realistic distance for routine care by car or taxi. Leisure infrastructure is close: the Real Club Náutico marina sits roughly 1.1 km away, the Palacio de Deportes Infanta Cristina sports centre about 1.2 km, and two public swimming pools within 1.2 km. For views and walks, the Torre del Moro viewpoint is about 3.0 km away and La Pinada about 4.0 km. The terrain to the beach is flat at a gradient of roughly 0.8 per cent, so walking and cycling are practical throughout. Electric-vehicle charging requires a trip of about 6.1 km or more, which owners of EVs should factor in.
The map shows the property on Calle Bergantín in central Torrevieja, with the Blue Flag beaches of El Cura and the town's marina a short distance to the east. The flat coastal plain, the network of local streets and the position between the sea and the town's main road structure are all visible, illustrating how daily errands remain within walking range.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Torrevieja occupies a coastal position on the southern Costa Blanca in the province of Alicante, roughly 44 km from Alicante city, 39 km from Murcia and 32 km from Elche in straight-line terms. It is one of the few predominantly Spanish-speaking municipalities in the Valencian Community. With about 98,533 registered inhabitants, it ranks among the larger towns of the region, with an economy and service provision oriented towards both residents and seasonal visitors. Within the Costa Blanca, it offers a dense, walkable urban fabric close to the sea, in contrast to the dispersed villa areas and golf resorts further inland.
Distances below are straight-line, as the crow flies; road distances may be longer. The nearest beach, Platja del Cura, lies about 559 metres away, with Playa del Cura at 649 metres and Cala del Palangre at 1.0 km. Golfers reach Club de Golf Villamartín at about 8.7 km, Real Club de Golf Campoamor at 10 km and Las Ramblas de Orihuela at 10 km. Alicante-Elche Airport (ALC) is approximately 35 km away, Valencia about 168 km and Málaga roughly 368 km, so airport transfers from Alicante take a moderate drive by car. Regional cities are Elche at 32 km, Murcia at 39 km and Alicante at 44 km. Locally, 14 public transport lines with 50 stops serve the town, and the flat street pattern makes walking and cycling the default for daily errands. A car is convenient for golf, the hospital and airport runs but is not strictly necessary for daily life.

Torrevieja records an average annual temperature of 18.7 °C, with monthly averages ranging from about 12 °C in winter to 26 °C in summer, a pattern typical of the southern Costa Blanca. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20 °C or above, lasts around five months. The town sits at a low 20 metres above sea level with a flat gradient towards the coast of roughly 0.8 per cent, so there are no meaningful climbs between the home and the beach. The coastal position brings the moderating effect of the Mediterranean on temperature extremes. For outdoor living, the south-facing terrace receives direct sun for the main part of the day, which suits lunch and afternoon use; the covered section provides shade in high summer. Nature excursions nearby include the Torre del Moro viewpoint at about 3.0 km and the La Pinada green space at about 4.0 km, while the salt lagoons of the wider Torrevieja area shape the local landscape.

Torrevieja holds Blue Flag status for seven beaches, including Cabo Cervera, Cala de las Piteras, El Cura, La Mata and Los Locos. El Cura, the closest designated beach to this property, lies about 1.2 km away in a straight line, with Platja del Cura at roughly the same distance and Cala del Palangre at 1.4 km. This gives residents a choice between an urban sandy beach and smaller coves within a short walk or cycle. Recreation extends beyond the shore: the Real Club Náutico marina at 1.1 km supports sailing and water activities, the Palacio de Deportes Infanta Cristina at 1.2 km offers indoor sports, and CF Torrevieja's facilities sit at 1.4 km. Golfers have three 18-hole clubs within about 10-11 km. For swimming outside the sea, two pools operate within 1.2 km of the property, and the building itself provides a communal pool in the courtyard.
