Alpes-Maritimes department Property Prices, Rents & Rental Yields

About Alpes-Maritimes department

Stretching from the Mediterranean coastline to the first Alpine foothills, Alpes-Maritimes combines Riviera cities, inland villages, and year-round lifestyle appeal. For apartment investors, the department stands out for its mix of coastal prestige and regional depth, with prices shaped by limited space and steady desirability across different micro-markets.

July 2026 brought a clear signal: apartment pricing kept rising, but rental growth rose even faster, tightening the income story. The average sale price reached €384,000, while the average m² price moved to €6,100, both up 1.3% month on month and 7.3% and 7.0% higher year on year respectively. That points to a market still advancing in capital values, yet not at the same pace as rents.

The rental side was the strongest mover. The average rent price climbed to €1,080, up 7.5% from the previous month and 13.2% over the year. Even so, the department’s yield sits at 4.6%, which suggests investor returns are being pressed by faster rent growth alongside firmer purchase pricing. In practical terms, Alpes-Maritimes remains a market where appreciation is still building, but monthly economics are becoming less forgiving than a year ago.
