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.

Why Buy in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin?

Roquebrune-Cap-Martin sits between Monaco and Menton and offers a calmer, more residential feel than the Principality. It attracts buyers who want Riviera access with French legal and tax structures, and who prefer a quieter setting while staying close to Monaco for business or lifestyle.

The area is a mix of hillside villas, coastal apartments, and historic properties in the old village. Pricing and atmosphere can change significantly from one micro-location to another, so clarity on your priorities matters.

Areas and micro-markets

Cap Martin (peninsula)

Low-density residential area with villas, sea views, and a strong second-home feel. Entry points are higher here, but privacy and views tend to be the main draw.

Carnoles

More practical and accessible with a higher share of apartments. Close to daily amenities and transport links. A good option for buyers who want value and convenience.

Old Village (Roquebrune)

Elevated historic center with character properties, narrow streets, and panoramic viewpoints. Often chosen for charm rather than pure convenience.

Practical buyer notes

  • Access and parking: Hillside streets and limited parking can be a real constraint. Always check access and private parking early.
  • Sea view vs. noise: Coastal road proximity can impact sound levels. Ask about exact exposure, not just "sea view".
  • Copropriete checks: For apartments, verify charges, planned works, and regulations before making an offer.

Who this area fits best

  • Buyers who want Monaco proximity without Monaco pricing
  • Buyers prioritizing a calm residential feel over nightlife
  • Buyers open to trade-offs between view, access, and budget
