It's a bit vague to ask .."what is it like".. it is different things to different people..
It is better to ask specific questions.. there are many on here who are happy to help..

One main health centre, several private, 24 hour emergency in Rojales and about 20 minutes to the hospital in Torrevieja and about the same to Vega Baja.
2 is there much unemployment in cuidad quesada?
Doesn't seem to be.
3 how about criminality? is it much? burglary in houses?
Very low. Like everywhere, there is but seems to be opportunistic. People leaving doors open when out and so on. Just be careful if approached or shoved up against in shops.
4 is the municipality active about performing public space projects
Lots of festivals and shows around. Licences are required.
5 is the municipality financially healthy
Due to the high number of non residents, not as much as it should be. The regional government provides funds and lots of work has been done on roads and walkways in the centre.
6 can you tell me what the municipal taxes are for a year ?
Depends on the size of your property. There's a sticky link on here about IBI (council tax). My 3 bed terrace with 101 sq m inside is €240 a year.
7 are there drug problems and do there live many people outside Europe?
About 70% of residents are European, mainly north Europe. Most nationalities are represented in Quesada. Drug taking not a problems although I'm not looking so probably wouldn't notice. Only problem we've ever had was a load of French Moroccans who rented a house on the community but were quickly dealt with by the police. That was about 8 years ago.
Like most places, some problems getting funding, petty crime etc. The good thing is that it doesn't die off in Winter like a lot of places. Pretty busy all year round but, of course, gets extremely busy in Summer and other holidays but not overbearingly so like some of the places around. Many clubs to join from cards to dancing and other activities. Golf, petanca, cycling and so on depends on your interest.
We've been here for 14 years and 12 of those permanent. Love it here and, obviously the odd niggle but nothing serious. We've lived in 3 different places in the area (Villamartin, Torrevieaja and now here) and this is definitely the best except for the lack of public transport.

Use an independent solicitor. The one the agent advises will be working for them in the hope of further business.
May not be possible but look at the place at different times of the year. Some get like ghost towns in the Winter but absolutely packed in the Summer. Not such a problem in Quesada.
It might not be on your list but getting a small mortgage is advisable even if you pay it off quickly. Banks will ensure that there are no problems with the property before lending so it is a double check.
Don't believe everything the estate agents tell you. The may point out bus stops but there are no buses. See if there is any empty land around you. You may have good views at the moment but the number who have suddenly found huge blocks of flats or even supermarkets built in front of them is amazing. Plus all the noise when new construction is under way.
Some very steep places in Quesada, and I mean very steep. Nice going down but coming back can be a problem. We looked at one place where people had to put blocks under the car wheels in their own driveway.
Ask about community fees. Some can be very expensive especially if there are lifts and so on. IBI (council tax) can be very cheap but community fees can be several times that cost.
Apart from that, enjoy your search. There are some lovely areas but the last bit of advice is to get it right in the first place. Moving properties in Spain with the associated taxes can be very expensive.
