New-build properties in Los Alcázares: comparing villas and townhouses near the Mar Menor
First, locate the development within the municipality
Los Alcázares is located in the Region of Murcia, on the Costa Cálida, next to the Mar Menor. It is not part of the province of Alicante or the Costa Blanca. The municipal tourism portal highlights Playa Manzanares and the seafront promenade, and offers routes covering various stretches of the coastline. A development advertised as being "near the Mar Menor" can vary significantly depending on the specific plot; be sure to ask for the address, a location map, and the actual distance to the places you intend to frequent.
Purchasing a new-build property in Los Alcázares requires distinguishing between a project, a property under construction, and a completed home. While the beach, a golf course, or promotional imagery may help you understand the surrounding area, they do not confirm availability or describe the specific unit. Visit the location, check access and the availability of services throughout the year, and request the development’s documentation before making a reservation.
Two catalog listings that warrant further verification
When consulting the BeniHomes public catalog on November 11, 2026, two listings appeared for Los Alcázares: BH-000183, presented as a villa, and BH-000182, as a townhouse. Their descriptions refer to "Villas Alejandra XII La Serena" and mention newly constructed homes. However, the listings indicated "Check availability" and displayed reference images; the listing alone did not confirm the construction phase, the specific unit available, or its final specifications.
If one of these interests you, ask the team for the current specification sheet for that specific unit, including the floor plan, a detailed list of materials and finishes, the total price, the construction phase, and the delivery date. Also, request the identification of the specific plot and the developer. Do not interpret the price range in a promotional description as the price for a specific unit, and do not assume that a villa and a townhouse share the same expenses or usable floor area.
What to look for during a visit
La Serena and the areas near the seafront can offer different experiences. Walk the distance from the property plot to the beach, the supermarket, and essential services. Check vehicle access, parking, orientation, noise levels, and shade at different times of the day. If you intend to live there year-round, also look into transport, healthcare facilities, and schools based on the specific location.
For a villa, ask about the plot, swimming pool, garden, and the maintenance of private facilities. For a townhouse, check the shared walls, common areas, and anticipated service charges. In both cases, distinguish between the built area, usable floor area, and outdoor space. Request a written list of included features—such as a solarium, parking space, or climate control system—rather than inferring them from photographs or general descriptions.
The Mar Menor is a lagoon with environmental conditions that can vary. When planning your beach visits, consult current information from municipal or regional authorities; do not assume that a photograph taken at a different time reflects the condition of a beach throughout the entire year.
Contracts, advance payments, and handover
Before handing over any money, have an independent professional review the contract, the developer’s identity, the applicable building permits or planning authorizations, the construction schedule, the refund policy, and the guarantees for advance payments as stipulated by the Building Act (*Ley de Ordenación de la Edificación*). For a completed property, request the relevant occupancy documentation, the energy efficiency certificate, and information regarding the status of utility connections and common areas.
BeniHomes can help you compare options and confirm with the sales agent which units are currently available. A legal, technical, and tax review of the purchase should be conducted based on the specific file for the property in question. This guide does not guarantee availability or a specific handover date.
