Buying in the 12th arrondissement with a property hunter

The 12th is the arrondissement of Parisian families. With the Bois de Vincennes, the Coulée Verte (the planted promenade that inspired New York's High Line), and prices among the most accessible in central Paris, it offers a living environment hard to match.

The typical buyer in the 12th is a family with children or a couple anticipating growth. Average transaction size exceeds the Parisian average, reflecting demand for 3 and 4-room apartments. Investors also find attractive rental yields thanks to moderate acquisition prices.

The 12th's main asset is space: larger apartments than elsewhere for the same budget, Bois de Vincennes for weekends, and excellent transport links (metros 1, 6, 8, 14, RER A). The Bercy quarter has been entirely renovated, offering a park and contemporary architecture.

The point of caution: the 12th is vast and heterogeneous. The Aligre-Bastille area is very différent from Porte de Charenton. A property hunter guides towards micro-neighbourhoods suited to the buyer's profile.

    Tailored property search

    We were very satisfied with our experience with Home Select during the purchase of our apartment in Paris. Our property hunter was attentive to our requests and helped us find the perfect little pied-à-terre. She guided us through the process and ensured a seamless experience from start to finish. Finding a property in Paris while living in the United States could have been a daunting task, so we are very grateful that Home Select was there to help.
