Luxury Real Estate: Which Neighborhood to Invest in Nice?

The city of Nice has many neighborhoods where luxury real estate is thriving. In these sought-after areas, buyers can find luxury houses : superb villas with sea views, spacious apartments in elegant Art Deco or Belle Epoque buildings, and also expansive properties overlooking the wonders of the French Riviera.

Mont-Boron, a Preserved Area Dominating the Sea

The Mont-Boron hill gives its name to one of the most coveted residential neighborhoods in Nice. Here, on these beautiful green hills facing the Mediterranean Sea, stand magnificent contemporary villas, as well as impressive neoclassical mansions and particularly luxurious residences. The area is also renowned for its 57-hectare forested massif, which offers an incredible panorama of the Bay of Angels, the Villefranche Bay, and the Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat peninsula.

Cimiez, a Luxurious and Highly Sought-After Neighborhood

Like the Mont-Boron neighborhood, the residential neighborhood of Cimiez gets its name from the hill on which it is built. Located northeast of Nice, not far from the famous Avenue Jean Médecin, it was a popular resort for the aristocracy and wealthy clientele from the United Kingdom during the Belle Epoque era. The many palaces built during this period (including the superb Excelsior Regina Palace) now offer high-end apartments with beautiful amenities. The neighborhood also benefits from a strong cultural dynamism, notably supported by the Henri Matisse and Marc Chagall museums.

Carré d'Or, an Upscale Neighborhood in the Heart of Nice

The upscale Carré d'Or neighborhood in Nice is located in the city center, between the prestigious Boulevard Victor Hugo and the Promenade des Anglais. It is both residential, touristic, and commercial, as it is home to the city's most beautiful luxury shops. It also benefits from its proximity to the sea. Among the most coveted properties in the neighborhood are superb apartments nestled in Belle Epoque-style buildings, as well as some high-end residences with an Art Deco touch and modern constructions with upscale amenities.

City Center and Place Masséna

The enchanting Place Masséna and the surrounding streets form a particularly sought-after central area for luxury real estate clients. The grand Haussmann-style bourgeois buildings on the square and the adjacent avenues (Félix-Faure, Hôtel des Postes, Gioffredo) are appreciated for their spacious apartments and proximity to the Coulée Verte park and the Old Town of Nice. The area is also located not far from Place Garibaldi, the trendy Place du Pin, and the Promenade des Anglais, which is an additional asset.

Waterfront and Promenade des Anglais

As in most coastal cities, the waterfront is one of the most coveted real estate sectors in Nice. In Nice, this is even more true as the Promenade des Anglais is the most iconic location in the region. It is now home to several private mansions and luxury residences that offer breathtaking views of the Bay of Angels. But Nice's waterfront is not only represented by the Promenade des Anglais! After the port, in the surroundings of the Cap de Nice, you can find superb contemporary residences and villas facing the blue sea.
