Ranked<\/strong>, in the wake of the opening of the Grotte Cosquer cave, by TIME magazine among the 50 World's Greatest Places of 2022, Marseille both fascinates and intrigues.<\/strong> The European Capital of Culture in 2014, this Mediterranean port with picture-postcard landscapes has transformed into a dynamic economic metropolis and hive of cultural activity.<\/strong> Open to the world, it has continued to step up its initiatives in the fields of art, design, lifestyle and gastronomy.<\/strong> Urban yet with a village vibe, it blends attractive districts with folk traditions and plays host to a myriad of idyllic beaches sheltered by its rocky calanques.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The real estate market<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The market here is booming, with a price rise of 34%<\/strong> over the past five years. In the most popular arrondissements<\/em>, they range from \u20ac4,200 per square metre (6th<\/sup> arr.) to \u20ac5,900 (8th<\/sup> arr.) and even \u20ac6,100 (7th<\/sup> arr.).<\/p>\n

Our advice<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u201cWell connected with plenty of local shops and activities, the 7th<\/sup> and 8th<\/sup> arrondissements are the top spots, especially along the seafront. Demand is particularly strong, so be quick to get in there.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cA good time to buy a primary residence or to invest.\u201d<\/p>\n

Inside tip<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Endoume, Vallon des Auffes, Malmousque and Bompard (7th<\/sup> arr.) districts are home to adorable fishermen's houses, while Vauban (6th<\/sup> arr.) has charming village houses. Roucas Blanc and Corniche Kennedy (7th<\/sup>) have exceptional properties with sea views and high-end apartments, while Carr\u00e9 d\u2019Or, P\u00e9rier and Saint-Giniez (8th<\/sup> arr.) are filled with beautiful private mansions and Haussmann buildings. - Philippe MANNI, director of BARNES Marseille.<\/p>\n
