Frequently asked questions

Which is the most affordable arrondissement in Paris?

In 2026, the most accessible arrondissements are the 19th and 20th, with median prices around €8,200/sqm. The 13th also offers good value, with several pockets undergoing rapid transformation.

Which neighbourhoods suit expat families best?

For families, we usually point to the 16th (excellent international schools), the 7th (safe and prestigious), the 15th (spacious flats and a family feel) and the 17th (the village atmosphere of Batignolles). Just beyond Paris, Neuilly-sur-Seine and Boulogne-Billancourt remain firm favourites with expat families.

Should I buy in Paris or in the inner suburbs?

It depends on your budget and lifestyle. Towns such as Boulogne-Billancourt, Vincennes and Neuilly are 20 to 50% cheaper per square metre and offer noticeably more space. Those on a direct métro line allow a quick commute into central Paris while preserving a quieter way of life.

How does Home Select help you choose the right area?

At the first meeting, your property hunter looks carefully at your budget, lifestyle, practical constraints (schools, transport, workplace) and personal preferences. They then put forward two or three suitable areas, with a side-by-side comparison of prices, availability and quality of life.
