Property for sale in Paris

Paris is both the capital of France and, administratively, its smallest department, a compact city of distinct neighbourhoods, each with its own character and its own price bracket. The city's metro and RER networks make it possible to live without a car, and the surrounding Île-de-France departments are all within easy day-trip reach. Deeply rooted in artistic and architectural history, Paris is home to the grand, formal apartments of the seventh and sixteenth arrondissements, and to the more bohemian streets of Montmartre and Belleville. Away from these familiar districts, buyers will find up-and-coming eastern districts, and an enormous range of architectural styles packed into a relatively small footprint. Paris is likewise known for its international community, including one of the biggest groups of English-speaking expatriates anywhere in France, supporting a strong long-term rental market. A temperate climate brings warm summers and cool, damp winters. The housing stock runs from a period apartment in a central arrondissement or a more contemporary property further east, Paris gives buyers plenty of choice within a compact city. With history, culture and an international community, it remains the most iconic address in France. For those weighing up the market, houses in Paris average €11,114/m². The average price for an apartment in Paris is €9,717/m².
