Apartments and prices at Villa Ariane
The residence focuses on 1- and 2-bedroom apartments with generous layouts, high-end finishes and, for some units, a terrace or a private lift. Listings describe views over the city and its surroundings; none of them presents a sea view as a standard feature.
Apartments for sale
A listing from an agency of the Principality gives a precise example of the residence:
- Floor: 5th, with a city view
- Surface: 141.96 m² of living space and a 39.04 m² terrace, 181 m² in total
- Layout: living and dining room, fitted kitchen with laundry area, 2 bedrooms, each with a bathroom, a dressing room in the main suite, storage and a guest toilet
- Equipment: home automation for lighting, concierge service
- Price: €8,688,000
The prices per m² of the listing come from our own calculation. They place Villa Ariane above the La Rousse average on living space, in line with a new building, and below the Larvotto level.
The terrace changes the reading of the price. On the 181 m² in total, the apartment comes to about €48,000 per m², below the La Rousse average, while the same price on the living space alone reaches about €61,200. Both figures are useful: the first measures the whole surface you enjoy, the second compares the apartment with other homes on a like-for-like basis. A new building also brings recent systems, insulation and equipment that reduce the works to plan after the purchase.
Apartments for rent
On the rental side, an apartment of 174 m² with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a private lift appears in the rental listings of the residence at €18,000 per month. Rentals in new buildings attract tenants who want modern comfort without the price of the beachfront residences. The rent of this apartment amounts to about €103 per m² per month, a level to compare with the other new residences of the east side before you decide.
