Monaco Real Estate Guides

Looking for the most expensive apartment in Monaco? The penthouse at the Tour Odéon spans five floors and more than 3,500 m², featuring an infinity pool and a private waterslide. The most widely cited figure is €335 million, but this guide highlights an important nuance rarely mentioned elsewhere: this amount has never been confirmed by a publicly recorded transaction, and estimates vary by source from €335 million to $440 million. You will also discover a recent development: the most prestigious residence in Mareterra, Monaco’s new district, is reportedly valued at around €500 million, which could make it the new record-holder in the Principality. However, no confirmed sale has yet made it possible to establish this definitively. To explore this potential new record, our dedicated Mareterra guides cover the subject in greater detail.

You want to understand the Monaco property market as a whole, before focusing on a specific neighbourhood or type of property. The key figure to remember: €57,569 per square metre on average in 2025, according to IMSEE, Monaco’s official statistics institute. This guide outlines the significant price differences between neighbourhoods, from Larvotto at over €71,000 per square metre to more accessible areas such as Jardin Exotique, as well as the different segments of the market, including apartments, villas and rentals. You’ll also discover who buys property in Monaco, from British, Italian and Swiss buyers to Middle Eastern and American clients, and why this diversity helps the market remain less exposed to regional fluctuations. For a detailed breakdown by neighbourhood or an overview of the buying process, our dedicated guides explore each topic in depth.

You want to buy an apartment in Monaco and are looking for the complete process, with no unpleasant surprises. The good news is that there are no nationality restrictions, and the process follows a clear framework, from the preliminary sales agreement through to the signing with the notary, usually taking two to three months. This guide is based on the only figure that really matters: the official figure from IMSEE, Monaco’s official statistics institute, €57,569 per square metre on average in 2025. You’ll also find a distinction that is rarely explained: not all properties are open to every buyer, with a difference between the free sector, the protected sector, and state-owned residential buildings reserved for Monegasque nationals. For a detailed breakdown of prices by neighbourhood or the residency application process, our dedicated guides explore each topic in depth.
