Fleurs District Real Estate in Nice: Price Trends and Future Outlook

---

Located between the Promenade des Anglais and the Musicians district, the Fleurs neighborhood is one of the most sought-after areas in Nice. Quiet, residential, and strategically positioned close to both the city center and the seafront, it attracts numerous buyers, investors, and tenants every year.

A highly desirable living environment

The Fleurs neighborhood takes its name from the many streets named after flowers (Rue des Lilas, Rue des Violettes, etc.). Its atmosphere is both peaceful and vibrant. The area is primarily made up of bourgeois buildings, upscale residences built between the 1930s and 1970s, and a few individual houses set back from the main roads.

This sector is particularly appreciated for its immediate proximity to the sea (less than a 5-minute walk), its local shops, schools, and excellent public transport connections: tram lines 1 and 2, numerous bus lines, and the SNCF train station within walking distance.

A family-friendly and well-connected neighborhood

Mainly home to families, active retirees, and young couples, the Fleurs neighborhood strikes a good balance between primary residences and rental investments. Its architectural quality, inner gardens, and quiet streets make it one of the city’s most privileged areas.

An architectural signature: the influence of Rometti

The Fleurs neighborhood is notably shaped by the work of the Rometti architects (Clotilde Rometti and her successors), active from 1950 to 1970. Their buildings can be found on several emblematic streets in the neighborhood:

• Avenue des Fleurs (e.g. Résidence "Les Roses")
• Avenue des Orangers (e.g. buildings "Nathalia", "Orangeraie")
• Rue Bottéro, Rue Frédéric Passy, Rue Caffarelli, and Rue Andrioli (Résidence Le Square, built in 1972)

The typical Rometti style can be recognized by its:

• Exposed concrete façades, often enhanced with marble,
• Continuous balconies, stylish sunbreakers, and elegant curved lines,
• Entrance halls and staircases finished with noble materials.

This modern yet warm aesthetic gives the neighborhood a remarkable visual coherence, firmly rooted in Nice’s post-war reconstruction history.

Real estate market trends: +33% in 5 years

In recent years, the neighborhood has seen a strong increase in property values. According to combined data from Meilleurs Agents, SeLoger, and Le Figaro Immobilier, the average price per square meter now stands at around €5,950/m², compared to €4,470/m² five years ago — a rise of over 33%.

The type of property strongly influences pricing:

• Studios sell for around €6,450/m².
• One-bedroom apartments range from €5,600 to €5,900/m² depending on the floor and condition.
• Larger family apartments (2–3 bedrooms) can reach €6,100/m², or even higher for residences with terraces or close to the sea.

Despite slight price stabilization over the past 12 months, demand remains strong, driven by limited supply and the neighborhood’s enduring appeal.

Strong potential for investors

The Fleurs neighborhood offers strong rental yield potential thanks to its prime location and excellent transport access. Average rental prices are around €24/m², with low vacancy rates and constant demand, especially for furnished units. This makes it suitable both for traditional rental investments and for LMNP status.

In conclusion

Combining Niçois charm, accessibility, quality of life, and real estate dynamism, the Fleurs neighborhood in Nice offers an attractive setting both to live in and to invest. The steady rise in prices over the past five years highlights its lasting value and constant appeal to buyers.
