The Carré d'Or, the very centre of Nice, between place Masséna and the promenade des Anglais. Google Maps.
The Carré d'Or took shape in the nineteenth century during the development of the centre of Nice after its attachment to France, extending from place Masséna towards the seafront. The district concentrates a fabric of bourgeois buildings with elegant façades, inherited from the city's prosperous era.
The architecture blends the Haussmann repertoire and the fine façades of the late nineteenth century, with apartments of generous proportions, high ceilings and mouldings. The commercial streets of the area have gradually taken in the high-end brands that mark its identity today.
Today, the Carré d'Or is one of the most highly valued areas of Nice, between place Masséna, the pedestrian zone and the promenade des Anglais. Its central position, its building stock and the scarcity of supply make it a wealth-focused market where transactions remain few.
The district attracts wealth-focused and international buyers, second-home purchasers and investors seeking a prestige asset in the heart of Nice. Demand focuses on fine renovated older apartments, and the scarcity of large upmarket units keeps up a lasting tension. Studios and two-room flats, very liquid, also attract a share of rental investors targeting the centre.
