Prices at Monte Carlo Sun
Monte Carlo Sun offers an entry point to the eastern side of Monaco, below the price level of the new Larvotto residences. The table compares the listings of the residence with the official district averages.
Prices per m² of the listings come from our own calculation. The price of each apartment depends on the floor, the view, the condition and the presence of a parking space, often sold separately in Monaco.
To read the table, separate the surface of living space from the surface of terraces. The listing of Monte Carlo Sun 2 reaches about €44,500 per m² when you count the 110 m² in total, and about €54,400 per m² on the 90 m² of living space. Compare listings on the same basis, otherwise the gap between two apartments looks larger or smaller than it is. A closed parking space and a cellar, as in this listing, add value that the price per m² does not show.
Services and amenities of the residence
- Swimming pool: a private outdoor pool reserved for residents, surrounded by landscaped gardens
- Concierge: a team on site 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
- Security: round-the-clock surveillance of the entrances and common areas
- Clubhouse and restaurant: shared spaces within the complex

A dedicated part of the complex hosts offices, including a business centre, which brings professionals to the residence during the day. For a resident, this means more movement in the common areas, but also services at the foot of the building. Ask the syndic how the charges are shared between the residential part and the offices, and which rules apply to visitors in the common areas.

- Service charges: a pool, gardens and a 24/7 concierge weigh on the charges; ask for the last annual statement
- Parking: check whether a space is included, rented or available separately
