Buying a property in Cannes : neighbourhood guide

Are you planning to move to Cannes?

PALM BEACH - MOURÉ-ROUGE

This area is a self-sufficient sector, located near the beaches, facing the sea. It benefits from small local shops as well as restaurants and essential shops such as the post office. In terms of real estate, it is a sector with luxury flats, with recent residences, some of which have beautiful terraces with sea views. There are both primary and secondary residences. This area is quite popular and in demand in Cannes.

CALIFORNIE

La Californie is the most popular district in Cannes for the exceptional view of the bay of Cannes that it offers. You will enjoy a panorama of the Cap d'Antibes or Massif de l'Estérel, passing by the islands of Lérins. Residential, green, elegant, are adjectives that perfectly define this sector.

The Californie district offers top-of-the-range real estate, with high-standard residences, most often with swimming pools and breathtaking views. There are bourgeois and contemporary villas, flats and penthouses.

This area is mainly composed of main residences and attracts buyers from all over the world who are looking for a second home in a corner of paradise.

This area is ideally located to be away from the hustle and bustle of Cannes during congresses, while being close to the Croisette and the beaches. Moreover, the main roads are easily accessible to reach the international airport Nice Côte d'Azur or the motorway to access St-Tropez or Monaco.

BANANE

This district extends from Suquet to Palm Beach, passing by the Croisette, just below the railway.

This area is very popular and highly rated in Cannes as it is the ideal place to invest if you wish to have a good rental return, in view of the numerous congresses organised throughout the year. It is indeed the most central area of Cannes and in direct proximity to the beaches, the Palais des Festivals and the main shopping street, rue d'Antibes. It is the most sought after area for those coming to Cannes on holiday.

There are a lot of main residences, with quite recent buildings and offering a dynamic neighbourhood life with all the shops, boutiques, restaurants and public transport nearby.

The Croisette is the place to be, where you can find luxury real estate and splendid properties where the price per square metre can quickly soar, thanks to the sea view offered.

If you are looking for a quieter area, but still in the heart of Cannes, the Suquet area will suit you perfectly. It is the historical centre of Cannes, which is very popular with tourists, for its atypical village charm, with old buildings. This quiet corner overlooks the old port of Cannes.

LA CROIX DES GARDES

Described as the green lung of Cannes, this listed district is very family oriented. The height of this district will offer you 360° panoramas on the bay of Cannes.

This residential area offers a dense real estate market, where you can find modern architecture as well as period villas. The residences offer great facilities, with swimming pools, parks, tennis courts and incredible sea views. The majority of the houses are primary residences.

This green haven is a magical place for nature and sports lovers.

Its location is interesting, as you are slightly out of the city centre but still close to the shops and beaches.

For the record, it is in this area that the first villa built in the city of Cannes, the Villa Eléonore, which is now divided into flats, is located.

MONTFLEURY

Montfleury is the closest district to the city centre of Cannes, which justifies its coastline. The major advantage of this district is the ease of getting around on foot, since everything is in the immediate vicinity. A second asset, which makes this district one of the most sought-after in the city, is the view offered by the flats: guaranteed sea view, without being in the heights of Cannes.

It is therefore a popular place to live, both for primary and secondary residences. It is a green area where many families live because of the proximity of the schools and the complex installed nearby: tennis, swimming pool.

It is mainly inhabited by active owners who work in the centre of Cannes.

LA BOCCA

This area is undergoing a major restructuring and its recent extensions allow it to be seen with a new eye. The improvements in this area offer a real added value to this sector, a new breath of life. The city centre has been completely renovated.

A university complex, with a state-of-the-art cinema, has recently been built near this area. This complex has brought many investors to this area of Cannes.

It is a dynamic district where you can find all the local shops, restaurants and boutiques. It is also very well served by public transport.

The last asset of this sector is the proximity of the beaches and a completely renovated seafront, which offers beautiful surroundings and self-service sports facilities.
