Fontvieille
Fontvieille is Monaco won from the sea: some 33 hectares laid out under Prince Rainier III from the late 1960s onward, arranged around a sheltered marina of roughly 275 berths. Flat, quiet and planned in a single gesture, the district gathers the Stade Louis II, the heliport with its Nice airport link and the Princess Grace Rose Garden along a pedestrian waterfront. It remains the Principality's most complete exercise in made-to-measure urbanism.

How to buy in Fontvieille
IMSEE's 2025 observatory places Fontvieille at €52,518 per m², up 4.5% on the year — the Principality's mid band, alongside Monte-Carlo (€54,009) and La Condamine (€52,104) and well below Larvotto's €71,167. The stock is largely 1980s–90s marina-front residences with generous terraces, favoured by families and long-term owner-occupiers rather than trophy-hunters. Supply is tightly held, and a +4.5% print in a year when La Condamine slipped 0.7% underlines the steadiness of demand.
The process
- 1
Engage a Monaco advisor
A licensed agent surfaces both listed and off-market stock and represents you through the deal — essential in a market where the best apartments never reach a portal.
- 2
Offer & reservation
On an accepted offer you sign a reservation and place a deposit, customarily around 10% held by the notaire.
- 3
Notaire & compromis
A Monégasque notaire (a public officer) drafts the sale agreement, runs title and charge checks, and secures the transaction for both sides.
- 4
Funds & optional residency
Arrange funds or private-bank financing. If you also want to reside, open a Monaco bank relationship and lodge the required deposit in parallel — buying itself needs no residency.
- 5
Acte de vente
The final deed is signed before the notaire, the balance and costs settle, and keys are handed over.
