Buying Property in Provence-Alpes-Cote d’Azur
Where to buy property in Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur
The Côte d’Azur is one of France’s most expensive property hotspots, second only to Paris, but that does not prevent property buyers from dreaming of owning a property on the renowned French Riviera. However, property buyers do not necessarily need a fortune to purchase property for sale in Provence-Alpes-Cote d’Azure and with so many tourists, rental potential is good. Capital appreciation is also high, making a property here a sound investment.
The coast is dotted with fashionable resorts – Nice, Antibes, Cannes and St. Tropez to name but three. While the most chic locations command prices well beyond the pocket of most property buyers, those prepared to compromise on location and convenience may find better value away from the coast or without a sea view. Nice has a student and professional population that increases its desirability beyond being simply a resort.
Further west, the city of Marseille is France’s second city and offers a large and diverse population and mix of cultures. It is becoming increasingly popular as a getaway destination for Parisians.
Inland, Haute-Provence and Vaucluse are already popular second property destinations for French and overseas property buyers, with prices that reflect this. Avignon is the departmental capital of Vaucluse and an expensive hotpot. There are pockets of the départements of the hinterland which are surprisingly affordable, though, and offer year-round natural beauty and outdoor activities, particularly in the northernmost areas in Hautes Alpes.
