Apartments Nice Port
Buying an apartment in the port of Nice area
If you are looking for a rapidly expanding area that combines authentic Niçois streets with ochre façades, green louver shutters and high balconies with the dynamic economy of booming small businesses, stop at the port of Nice. You will discover a district with a charm beyond compare situated around the Lympia inner dock sheltering yachts, sailing boats and “pointus” (typical local small boats). Along the dock, you will have a coffee or a meal at cafés and restaurants while contemplating the boats. At the back of Notre-Dame-du-Port church, small streets, Lascaris, Fodéré, Bavastro, François Guisol and, of course, Bonaparte, are becoming the unmissable meeting point of local creators who open boutiques, salons, and concept-stores. If you take into consideration that the tramway end of line 2 will be on the dock, you will figure that that is the trendiest area in Nice.
Making profitable investment in the port area
Buying an apartment in the port area is first-rate investment. There, you will find apartments, as are, even several that you can assemble together in order to get one single large living area. The most authentic ones have kept their original features unspoiled: red floor tiles or ceiling mouldings. When they are on the second or third floor (when the building has no more than four or five), they often have balconies even roof terraces. As demand is high, those buildings acquire a profitable added value after renovation.
Buying a refurbished flat
If you had rather acquire a flat refurbished to high standards where you will only have to place your pieces of furniture, then the port area is also for you. Whether one-bedroom with exposed beams or beautiful duplex, apartments in the port area offer a wide range of possibilities. Students will find pleasant small surfaces (sometimes with a view on the port); couples in love their first acquisition close to the Place du Pin for its bustling life, or near rue Ségurance for more peacefulness. The district is also suitable for families. With two primary schools, two colleges, its recreational and cultural activities, its nautical sports near at hands, the surroundings are perfectly adapted for children and teenagers. It is not unusual to find entirely refurbished four or five bedroom flats to accommodate entire families. When they offer parking spaces, it means extra amenity since those are so few in the area.
Luxury facing the sea
The port area is also the place where to find prestige apartments with impeccable finishes. Whether in the mythic ”Neptune” building that has an unimpeded view on the port and on the Colline du Château and that houses a number of artists or in a splendid residence at boulevard Frank Pilatte, you will find outstanding flats and penthouses which seem to have been built over the sea, with large terraces offering breath-taking panoramic sea views.
The port area is absolutely amazing as it combines authenticity with luxury.
