This vast, multi-faceted arrondissement spreads across the southwest of the capital. Modern –on the banks of the Seine–, village-like –Rue de la Convention, Rue du Commerce– and chic –La Motte-Picquet, Breteuil– it draws families thanks to its abundance of shops, schools, green spaces, museums, cinemas and theatres. Likewise, foreign buyers are in search of main residences and pieds-à-terre here close to the tourist attractions (Tour Montparnasse, Eiffel Tower, Invalides, Champ-de-Mars, pop-up Grand Palais).
The real estate market
Over the last five years, the market has seen a price rise of around 13%, reaching an average of €10,000 per square metre, although prices were stable in 2021. Between Convention and Commerce, prices range from €12,000 and €14,000 per sq.m while the districts further to the north, on the edge of the 7th arrondissement – La Motte-Picquet, Breteuil – can reach sales of €17,000 to €20,000 per sq.m even.
Our advice
