Best neighborhoods to look for apartments in Paris

Montmartre

The Montmartre neighborhood in Paris is arguably one of the most popular places of the city to settle. Perched on a natural hill overlooking the city, this neighborhood has a village-like feel that makes you forget you are in the largest city in the country. The neighborhood’s most famous feature is the ‘Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Paris’, a catholic church that looms on the neighborhood’s highest peak. Considered to be the heart of Parisian culture, Montmartre’s cobbled stone streets and ivy-strewn houses offer fantastic surroundings for your perfect Parisian apartment.

Latin Quarter

Close to the banks of the city’s River Seine, the Latin Quarter has long been the home of the city’s student population, making it an appealing neighborhood to find an apartment. As well as students, the Latin Quarter is home to an array of young professionals, many of which take to the busy streets of St Michel. If you are looking for a little more peace and quiet, the Jardin des Plantes botanical garden makes for the perfect relaxation point in the east of the neighborhood.

Marais

One of the most central neighborhoods in all of Paris, Marais is arguably the perfect neighborhood for being able to walk to any of Paris’ central locations. With pre-revolution streets and medieval facades, apartments in the Marais neighborhood have a unique charm that can rarely be found anywhere else in the city. Known as a stylish neighborhood, Marais has many boutiques, late-night art galleries, and independent restaurants, ideal for immersing yourself wholeheartedly in Parisian culture.

Montparnasse

Located in the south of the city, the Montparnasse neighborhood of Paris is one that is often understated and overlooked. Moving into the Montparnasse neighborhood means you follow in a long line of artists, writers, and a general crowd of famous French and international bohemian alumni. Surrounded by some of the best brasseries in the city, an apartment in Montparnasse is ideal for those who love finer things in the French capital. Along with the famous Paris catacombs below and a selection of theatres, bars, and contemporary art shows, Montparnasse is a neighborhood of culture as well as indulgence.

Saint Germain

The Saint-Germain-des-Près neighborhood of Paris is one of the most famous in all of the city. Once renowned for its literary and philosophical residents, the neighborhood now has more of a premier shopping reputation. Known for its large expat community, Saint Germain is perfect for settling in Paris as a newbie and in a particular style. Apartments tend to cost a little extra in Saint Germain, yet every Euro is worth it to live in such a neighborhood as this.

Tips on moving to Paris

Moving to any new city can be difficult, especially if it includes moving to an entirely new country at the same time. Tips can be broken down into two different camps, the cultural and the practical. Although it’s not strictly necessary to speak French fluently, having a basic grasp will allow you to get by far easier and show you in a good light to the locals. Practical tips include understanding your own visa requirements before moving to Paris, as these can be different for a number of different nationals. Other things to consider are the cost of living in a city such as Paris, the price of your rent, and the type of property you want to live in.
