Properties in Central Paris (Dept. 75)

This week as part of our Paris theme, we have hand picked a selection of properties located in central Paris. Central Paris is defined as the 20 arrondissements in the department of Paris (75) that form the city of Paris and cover an area of approximately 105.4 square kilometres (40.7 square miles).

Properties in this highly sought part of the capital city are predominantly apartments (studios, duplex, triplex, penthouses etc). Those looking for houses and detached properties often escape to the banlieues (suburbs or outskirts) of Paris and commute using the efficient train and metro services. Due to limited supply and high demand from domestic and international buyers, the price of central Paris's properties remains relatively high compared to other towns and cities across France. City workers tend to either buy a larger apartment with good access to their workplace as a primary residence or they choose to invest in a smaller pied à terre for weekday use. Pied à terre properties are often second homes and allow workers to retreat out of the city at weekends and during holidays.

The demand for property in central Paris remains high so buying a property here can represent a good investment. Central Paris properties retain their value and often provide a better return and level of appreciation than properties in other parts of France. Although renting out a property in Paris has become more complicated in recent years it is still achievable and a popular investment. many overseas buyers enlist the help of a specialist concierge businesses and use bail mobilité leases for short term furnished rentals.

International access to the centre of Paris is good thanks to the airports of Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport and Paris Orly Airport as well as the Eurostar and high speed TGV trains. Excellent rail links also provide good access to the rest of France an particularly the surrounding regions such as Normandy, Picardy Champagne, Burgundy, and the Loire Valley.
