Beachside position in a gated complex that permits tourist rentals

Walking distance to both the sea and everyday shops sets this 1 bedroom top floor apartment in El Paraiso apart from the hillside developments across the main road. The flat sits inside Patio Alcornocal, a gated community on the beachside of the district where short-term holiday lets are allowed by the community statutes. Being on the top floor means no neighbours overhead, a simple advantage in an older coastal block.

Built area and current condition

The home measures 61 square metres built with one bedroom and one bathroom. That footprint gives a single person or a couple more room than a compact studio, while keeping cleaning manageable. It is sold in usable condition so a buyer can occupy it straight away, though the interior needs renovation if you want modern fittings. Buying an unrenovated flat means you are not paying for someone else's taste in tiles or kitchen units, and you can plan any refurbishment around your own schedule.

The terrace and what the community includes

Outside, a 10 square metre terrace extends the flat. Ten square metres provides outdoor space rather than just a narrow standing balcony. Downstairs, the gated grounds contain landscaped communal gardens and a brand new communal swimming pool. The communal pool has already been replaced. Parking is also included with the property, which matters in a beachside zone where street spaces fill up quickly.

Walking to the beach and local rules

Living on the beachside of El Paraiso means restaurants, cafes, supermarkets and the beach are reached on foot. Anyone staying in this 1 bedroom top floor apartment in El Paraiso does not need a car for daily errands or a morning swim. Tourist rentals are permitted within Patio Alcornocal.
