About this property
Altea clings to the northern spine of the Costa Blanca like few other towns manage. Narrow lanes climb between whitewashed houses toward a church dome that catches the light at dusk. This new-build apartment sits second line from the beach, close enough that the sound of the sea reaches the terrace on still mornings, far enough back to avoid the summer crush of the promenade. The apartment spans 105 m² across two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a connected living and kitchen zone that opens fully onto a private terrace. The orientation is south-facing, which means light arrives early and stays late. Finishes follow the contemporary Spanish new-build standard: large-format porcelain tiling, matt cabinetry with integrated appliances, pre-installation for air-conditioning and home automation, underfloor heating in the bathrooms, and a thermal envelope built to manage the Mediterranean heat without excessive energy draw. Storage is generous for an apartment of this size, and there's a private parking space within the secure building, which also offers a communal pool and landscaped gardens. Altea is not a party town or a golf destination. It's where people come to live. The old town holds proper restaurants and galleries, the beaches are smaller and less commercialized than Benidorm or Calpe, and the surrounding hills of the Marina Baixa are still wild enough for walking. Alicante Airport is around fifty minutes south; Valencia roughly the same north. The Peñón de Ifach in Calpe is a half-hour drive, and the quieter coves toward Jávea stretch the coastline in both directions. This one suits someone buying a home first and a holiday rental second, rather than the reverse. Altea's visitor season is gentler than the volume markets, which means owner-occupation tends to win out over constant letting. At €520,000 for 105 m² with a proper terrace and second-line beach positioning, the price reflects both the location's maturity and the rarity of new-build stock this close to the old town.
