Just 150 metres from the Mediterranean, this beautifully updated top-floor apartment for sale in Urbanova, Alicante, is one of those little homes that make life by the sea wonderfully easy and comfortable. Playa de Urbanova is at the end of the street, restaurants and cafés are an easy stroll away, there is a supermarket around the corner, and Alicante Airport is close enough that you can land, hop in a taxi and be home before you've really had time to notice you've arrived.
And what a lovely place to arrive.
The apartment has 52 m² of interior space plus a 9 m² glazed balcony, with a southeast orientation and a top-floor position, so there are no neighbours above. From up here, the views stretch across the blue of the Mediterranean and south along the Costa Blanca coastline towards El Altet, Arenales del Sol, Gran Alacant, the Cape of Santa Pola and its lighthouse.
Inside, everything feels bright, comfortable and easy. There is one bedroom, one bathroom, a living and dining area, a brand-new updated kitchen and a very useful storage cupboard/pantry within the apartment. Double glazing, ceiling fans and a split air-conditioning unit providing both cooling and heating keep things comfortable throughout the year.
The glazed balcony is a real bonus. At approximately 9 m², it adds another very usable space to the apartment. It is just the spot for morning coffee, a leisurely breakfast, a glass of wine at the end of the day, or simply sitting for a while and looking out towards the Mediterranean.
The apartment is being sold furnished and equipped, including appliances, so you really can turn up with your suitcase and start enjoying it. There is also an assigned covered parking space, number 61, included in the sale. As a holiday home on the Costa Blanca, an Alicante pied-à-terre, a lock-up-and-leave beach home or an easy-to-manage permanent residence by the sea, it works beautifully.
This little jewel is located within a beautifully maintained gated community, with manicured gardens and lawns, an enormous resort-like communal swimming pool flanked by numerous palm trees, tennis, padel, football and basketball courts, a children's playground and plenty of green space and benches dotted around the grounds. Community fees are approximately 38 euros per month, and the annual IBI (council tax) is approximately 200 euros.
One of the things we really like about Urbanova is just how easy life is here. Although it has the relaxed feeling of a seaside community, Urbanova is actually part of the city of Alicante, with the quality services and convenient public transport that come with it. Regular bus services connect Urbanova with Alicante city, with additional night services at certain times of year, while Alicante Airport is just a short taxi ride away, usually around 15 euros. For a holiday here, you really don't need to rent a car at all.
For everyday essentials, there is a supermarket practically around the corner, the Urbanova Medical Centre is just steps away, and the local pharmacy is an easy stroll along the beachfront promenade. Yes, you read that correctly, a pharmacy with sea views. Directly across the street is the Urbanova Cultural Centre, with its programme of activities and events, and there is a great choice of local restaurants, cafés and terraces within walking distance.
During the summer months, there is another lovely little bonus. Every Thursday afternoon and evening, Urbanova's summer market sets up on Calle Músico José Mira Figueroa, practically across the street, with stalls selling food, textiles and artisan products. Wander over for a browse, pick up something for dinner, stop for a drink and stroll home again. No car keys required.
Urbanova is also an unexpectedly practical place to live year-round. The EUIPO, Ciudad de la Luz film studios and King's College, The British School of Alicante are all close by, making this a particularly interesting option for anyone working in this part of Alicante who would rather come home to the beach than the city centre. You can have the relaxed rhythm of Mediterranean seaside life while the restaurants, museums, theatres, shopping and cultural life of Alicante are right on your doorstep whenever you want them.
And, of course, there is the beach.
Just wander about 150 metres down the road and there it is: Playa de Urbanova, a long, wide sweep of Mediterranean sand with the beachfront promenade running alongside it. Go for an early morning walk before the day gets going. Marvel at the views towards the Castillo de Santa Bárbara, Serra Grossa and the mountains beyond. Pop down for a swim. Meet friends for lunch. Have dinner overlooking the sea and stroll home afterwards. This is the sort of place where flip-flops can constitute a perfectly reasonable transport plan.
The current owners are longtime fans of the Costa Blanca and have loved having their little place in Alicante. After selling a larger property, they had every intention of keeping this apartment as their pied-à-terre by the sea. Unfortunately, there is a flaw in the plan: they are lovely people with a big family and lots of friends who rather enjoy coming to visit them. One bedroom simply isn't quite enough when everyone wants to come to Alicante.
So the time has come for someone else to love it.
Small enough to lock up and leave without a second thought, comfortable enough to stay for as long as you like and in a cracking location just steps from the Mediterranean, this is a very lovely little apartment by the beach in Urbanova to call your own on the Costa Blanca.
