DVF is published with a delay (registration/processing lag). We compute €/m² only for records with valid transaction value and built area, then aggregate by quarter using median/IQR (to reduce outliers). Use these figures as a directional indicator for trends and seasonality, not as an official appraisal. For a specific property, micro-location and building quality dominate.

Charming pedestrian streets, Provençal market, Picasso Museum, and authentic French atmosphere. Renovated apartments in historic buildings, rooftop terraces with sea views.

Best for: Francophiles, second-home buyers, culture lovers

Port Vauban

Modern apartments overlooking Europe's largest yacht marina. Walking distance to Old Town and beaches. Popular with yacht owners and professionals.

Best for: Yacht owners, investors, marina lifestyle seekers

Juan-les-Pins

The lively beach resort attached to Antibes. Art Deco buildings, sandy beaches, and the famous Jazz à Juan festival. More affordable than central Antibes.

  • Yacht owner demand: Strong correlation between superyacht sales and Port Vauban property
  • Family relocation: Post-pandemic shift from UK/US families choosing Antibes for schools

Local insight: Properties on the eastern side of Cap d'Antibes get morning sun and views toward Nice/Italy. Western properties face Cannes and dramatic sunsets. Both are prized differently.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is special about Cap d'Antibes?

Compare dated DVF transactions and comparable properties by address, condition and property type. Asking prices differ from completed-sale prices; a neighbourhood range is not an appraisal of a specific property.

Is Antibes good for families?

Excellent. Antibes has international schools (ICS), safe beaches, the Marineland park, and a family-friendly Old Town. Many expat families choose Antibes over Nice or Cannes for its village feel with city amenities.

What about yacht owners?

Port Vauban is Europe's largest marina with 1,642 berths for yachts up to 170m. Many yacht owners buy apartments overlooking the port. The area has specialized services, yacht brokers, and crew accommodation.

Would you like to discuss a property you’ve found?

Send us the listing. We can help assess the price, identify the checks needed and discuss the purchase terms.

What tax will apply to vacant homes in Antibes from 2027?

From 2027, Antibes will charge 30% of the cadastral rental value in the first year of taxation, then 60%.

The tax covers habitable homes without sufficient furniture, vacant for at least a year on 1 January, with exclusions. Rates do not apply to the purchase price. The first year of taxation is not the first year of ownership. Furnished second homes fall under a different regime.

How can you check a property’s price and ownership costs in Antibes?

Compare similar completed sales in Antibes to assess the price, then budget separately for taxes and ownership costs.

Match property type, neighbourhood, floor area, condition and sale period. DVF records completed transactions, not current asking prices. Add purchase costs, works, upkeep and taxes for your intended use: a town-wide median cannot value an individual property.

Antibes or Cannes: which suits your daily life?

Compare Antibes and Cannes by journeys from the actual property, noise and access to the services you need.

Test trips to work, school and shops, evening return journeys and seasonal changes. Choose an address around your routine: a town’s reputation does not replace checking daily travel and the property’s surroundings.
