Sitting peacefully on the banks of the Loire, just two\u00a0hours from Paris and forty minutes from the beaches of the Atlantic coast, the City of the Dukes of Brittany is an astonishing metropolis.<\/strong> From the old naval shipyard to the fishing village of Trentemoult, its rich maritime past provides an insight into a unique heritage<\/strong>. And yet the city is firmly focused on the future, and is undergoing an economic, cultural and demographic revival.<\/strong> A green city, classed by the Sunday Times as \u201cthe loopiest city in France\u201d, its forces of attraction lie in its environment, its access to the sea, and increasingly important, its proximity to the countryside.<\/p>\n

The real estate market<\/h2>\n

The property market in Nantes is bustling with a family client\u00e8le arriving from Paris and other major regional cities.<\/strong> On the rise for the last five years, prices increased by more than 10% in 2021, although they vary considerably depending on the neighbourhood and the type of property, ranging between \u20ac4,000 and \u20ac9,000 per square metre.<\/strong> The most coveted properties are high-end apartments in the city centre, on an upper floor with a terrace, family houses near the city centre and houses with a pool or large garden in the towns in the inner suburbs, like Orvault, La Chapelle sur Erdre, Suc\u00e9 sur Erdre and Sud Loire.<\/p>\n

Our advice<\/h2>\n

Now\u2019s the time to sell or invest. Sellers currently have the advantage of a high market even though the 2022 price rise is less drastic than in 2021. For buyers, a property in a prime location, in good or even very good condition is a sound investment because, as they say \u2018scarcity increases value\u2019.<\/p>\n

Our recommendations<\/strong><\/p>\n

The sectors around Place Aristide Briand and Rue Copernic, private street like Passage Leroy, L\u00e9vesque and Saint Yves. The Copernic area is ideal if you want to be close to the shops and still enjoy the neighbourhood\u2019s easy-going ambiance.<\/p>\n

For family life, concentrate on the private mansions in the Monselet sector, off Rue de la Bastille and Boulevard Guist\u2019hau.<\/p>\n

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

If you\u2019re not afraid to move away from the city centre, the houses on the banks of the Erdre are gaining appeal for their quiet and green surroundings. - Etienne de Gibon, Associate Director BARNES Nantes - La Baule<\/p>\n
