About This Property
Welcome to a new chapter of relaxed living in Las Filipinas, Orihuela Costa. This beautifully appointed 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment offers the perfect foundation for a peaceful retirement lifestyle in one of Spain's most welcoming expat destinations. At €283,000, you're acquiring a premium-specification property at exceptional value—35% less than comparable homes in Costa Blanca North—while enjoying year-round Mediterranean sunshine, excellent healthcare, and a thriving international community.
Orihuela Costa has become synonymous with easy living for retirees seeking quality, affordability, and community. This location delivers on all three. Whether you're dreaming of morning walks to pristine beaches, afternoon rounds at championship golf courses, or simply enjoying café culture with friends from around the world, this apartment positions you perfectly. The 65m² thoughtfully designed interior maximizes comfort and functionality, while the additional 78m² plot area offers outdoor space for your own retreat.
With a strong track record of +10% year-on-year appreciation and solid rental potential (€800 per week), this property also makes sound financial sense. But beyond numbers, this is about lifestyle—waking to Mediterranean breezes, accessing world-class healthcare minutes away, and becoming part of a vibrant, English-speaking community that truly understands the expatriate experience.
About Orihuela Costa
Orihuela Costa sits on the southern stretch of Alicante province, where the Costa Blanca meets the Mar Menor. This distinctive geography creates a unique microclimate—protected from harsh northerly winds, the area enjoys some of Spain's most consistent sunshine and mild winters. The terrain gently slopes toward pristine beaches, interspersed with championship golf courses and established residential communities that blend seamlessly with the natural landscape.
The area encompasses several distinct neighborhoods, each with its own character. Las Filipinas, where this property is located, is known for residential stability and a strong sense of community. Unlike some coastal areas dominated by tourism, Orihuela Costa maintains an authentic, residential character where people genuinely choose to live year-round. The proximity to both nature and amenities—without the congestion of major cities—makes it particularly attractive for those seeking a balanced lifestyle.
Life in Orihuela Costa
Daily life in Orihuela Costa revolves around the simple pleasures that make retirement rewarding. Mornings might begin with a walk to one of the Blue Flag beaches—La Zenia, Campoamor, or Cabo Roig are mere minutes away—where the water remains swimmable even in winter. The expat community here is mature and well-established, with strong British, Scandinavian, and Dutch populations ensuring English is spoken everywhere from restaurants to medical clinics.
You'll find a thriving calendar of activities: weekly markets brimming with fresh local produce, championship golf courses on your doorstep (Villamartín is practically next door), and social clubs catering to every interest. Restaurant culture ranges from authentic paella specialists to international cuisines. The La Zenia Boulevard shopping center offers everything from major supermarkets to fashion retailers, while local Mercadona and Consum stores handle daily needs. Healthcare is world-class with multiple hospitals and English-speaking medical centers within 15-20 minutes. What emerges is a lifestyle where convenience meets leisure—you're never far from what you need, but always close to what makes life enjoyable.
Investment Potential
Property values in Orihuela Costa have demonstrated consistent appreciation, with market trends showing +10% year-on-year growth—significantly outpacing general inflation. At €4,354/m², this property commands premium specification at a price 35% below comparable Costa Blanca North properties, representing exceptional value in a appreciating market.
Beyond capital growth, the rental market remains robust. Typical holiday rental rates achieve €800 per week, positioning the property for potential income generation if desired. The strong international presence ensures year-round tenant demand rather than seasonal fluctuations. This combination—reliable appreciation, rental income potential, and location desirability—creates a compelling investment narrative alongside the lifestyle benefits. Whether you're seeking a retirement home with financial prudence or an active investment property, this acquisition delivers on multiple fronts.
