Riviera Apartments and Studios For Sale

While most people think of lovely seaside villas and classic old chateaus when browsing properties in the South of France, another excellent housing option is an apartment. They can be can easily found in the major urban centers of Nice and Cannes. Apartments here in France are comfortable, convenient, and affordable. They are available at a lower price than chateaus and farmhouses, and residents can engage with the locals on a much more personal level. The variety of restaurants and cafes is much higher here, and sometimes it is just nice to be able to walk to a destination instead of having to worry about a car. An enriching and independent lifestyle can be had living in a French apartment.

Apartments are Affordable

As the prices of chateaus, farmhouses, and seaside villas increase beyond the wealth of most people, apartments have become the best possible option for those wishing to experience the lifestyle of living in southern France. Of course, owning a dream home by the sea is nice, but the money saved by renting or buying an apartment allows the owner to more directly enjoy the culture of France. Instead of spending thousands trying to renovate an old home, use that money to try all the delectable restaurants and hip cafes that are found in the cities.

Apartments Offer a Direct Connection with Locals

Waking up in the morning in the city of Nice, one finds themselves full of options. The 5th largest city in France, Nice, is one of the oldest human settlements in the world and one of the most contemporary cities in the modern world at the same time. With a human history spanning thousands of years, the culture here is deep and easily felt. Go down to the Promenade des Anglais by the seashore for a run to start the day. Next, head over to the pedestrian-only set of avenues called the Zone Pietonne, to sip on an espresso or enjoy the sweetness of gelati. Afterwards, visit some of the notable squares around town, such as Place Massena or Place Rossetti, another pedestrian-only area. Practice some French language with the people you pass along the way.
