Cagnes-sur-Mer and the surrounding area

Radia Amar - 20 December 2021

Just 7 km from Nice’s international airport, Cagnes-sur-Mer has preserved a pleasant lifestyle, the charm and friendliness of small communes on the Riviera, thanks to well-measured modernity.

A property developer which has built numerous residences on the Côte d’Azur, the Agence du Lido - Groupe Deromedi can notably lay claim to the Résidence du Lido at 108 Boulevard de la Plage, at the entrance to Cagnes arriving from Nice. Since 2007, the firm has also handled sales and rental management all along the seafront from Saint-Laurent-du-Var to Villeneuve-Loubet, under the regional management of Jocelyn Mercier.

Sales specialist Tina Doti explains that the Résidence du Lido occupies 14.82 acres of land and consists of 600 apartments in six different buildings.

“Gardens dominate the space in this gated residence offering great amenities, including five swimming pools. Le Lido was built in two phases : the oldest buildings date back to 1985, the more recent to 2006. Starting-prices thus vary depending on the building : from 5,000 € per sq.m in the first buildings, and from 6,700 € per sq.m in the most recent.”

Available properties range from studios of about 30 m² to large 4-bedroomed apartments of 200 m², with all apartments extended by generous terraces, such as a 1-bedroom apartment of 50 m² with a terrace of 25 m² which has just found a taker. Mostly living in Le Lido year-round, the clientele includes numerous owners who have sold their houses to take advantage of this quiet, luxuriant setting, opening out to the Mediterranean while benefiting from the closeness of shops, amenities, and direct access leading to the beach.

“Properties which come up for sale in Le Lido are highly-prized, especially by French buyers. To sum up, Le Lido proposes a delightful place to live, rather like a village at the heart of town.” Based in Le Haut de Cagnes for over 25 years, the Minassian Estate agency is an expert in the sale of properties of charm and character, between Menton and Mandelieu.

“From a pied-à-terre offering a pretty view to a much more substantial property, we propose all kinds of homes on condition that they offer charm and a privileged location. We are particularly fond of properties that set people dreaming,”

Comprised of both French and foreign buyers, including a good number of Scandinavians, the clientele of Minassian Estate appreciates in particular the art of living that reigns in Le Haut de Cagnes and the sector of Le Cros. In a location rather like a “balcony” above the sea, this address prized by aesthetes fleeing from the frenzy of city life allows residents to reach the beach and even the international airport in just a few minutes. “You can live here without a car, especially as a free shuttle is placed at residents’ disposal with very frequent services.”

In search of a pretty 1-bedroom apartment with an outdoor area, priced from 200,000 €, or a villa for permanent or holiday use, clients are currently faced by limited offerings. “2021 has been a very busy year. We have orchestrated numerous sales and stocks are therefore running low. Even so, many properties of quality are available at stable prices. In such a context, we encourage buyers to take up their positions quickly, as demand remains steady and good addresses do not stay long on the market.”
