The apartment market in Vence, in figures

The Vence apartment reads on the apartment median of the survey, €4,200/m² over the 12 months to end of June 2026, below the €5,400/m² of houses: it is the way into a town of bastides and villas. The price per square metre falls as floor area grows: large apartments, rare in the old town, cost less per square metre than small ones. Three stocks share the sales: the medieval city, stone houses on several levels without a lift; the buildings around it, within walking distance of the shops; the more recent residences of the hills, with terrace, parking and sometimes a pool. Value lies in light, view, parking and the condition of the building.

Who buys: retirees leaving a house grown too big without leaving Vence, buyers from Paris and Northern Europe who want a pied-à-terre before looking for the house, families and professionals from the coast who find more space here than by the sea. The market lives all year, around market days and schools. The finest floors of the old town often pass on without a listing, between families, neighbours and notaires: Home Select’s network of 15,000 partners opens that door.

Where exactly, in Vence and around?

The old town for the stone floor inside the ramparts, cathedral, place du Frêne and market on foot; the quarters around the place du Grand Jardin for the apartment in a building, shops and buses at the door; the southern hills, towards Saint-Lambert and La Colle-sur-Loup, for residences with terrace, parking and pool; the chapelle du Rosaire side, on the road to Saint-Jeannet, for the view over old Vence; the north, beneath the baous, for small quiet residences.

Frequently asked questions

Buying an apartment in Vence: your questions

An apartment in the old town or in a residence?

Two lives. Inside the ramparts, the apartment is lived on foot, market beneath the windows, in stone houses with narrow stairs; in a residence, on the southern hills, it gains terrace, parking, lift and sometimes a pool, at the cost of heavier service charges and a car for everything. Both read on the Vence apartment median, €4,200/m² over the 12 months to end of June 2026; use decides.

What do protected monuments change for an apartment in the old town?

Time and materials. In the medieval city, near protected monuments, works on the outside, windows, shutters, façades and roofs, need the opinion of the Architecte des Bâtiments de France, the State heritage architect, who sets colours and joinery. Inside, an old building calls for a careful read: damp, timber frame, networks, the split of charges. Have the works costed before you commit.

Does parking matter for an apartment in Vence?

A great deal. The old town is lived on foot and cars stay at its gates: a garage or a nearby space, rare, weighs in the value. Around it, older buildings do not always have parking; in a residence, a space is the rule. Check that it belongs to the unit sold. With no station in Vence, buses to Cagnes-sur-Mer and Nice complete the car. Home Select checks the deed and the co-ownership rules.

What does an apartment in Vence cost?

The median stands at €4,200/m² across 272 sales recorded over the 12 months to end of June 2026 (DVF / DGFiP via data.gouv.fr, October 2026 release, 12 months to end of June 2026). It is a market benchmark, not an appraisal: the address, the floor, the condition and scarcity make the final price.

How long does it take to buy in Vence with a buyer’s agent?

The calendar depends on how rare the target property is in Vence and on your availability: Home Select frames it at the brief, then holds it. Properties are first seen on video, and your decisive viewings are grouped into a single trip.

How do you reach off-market properties in Vence?

Through the network and direct approach: Home Select receives more than 100 properties every day from its 15,000 professional partners before they go on sale, and also contacts owners when the setting calls for it. In Vence, the monitoring starts with two sectors: the old town, then Le Malvan. That is often where the unfindable property is.

What are your fees for buying an apartment in Vence?

Home Select, a buyer’s agent in Vence, charges 2.5% of the net purchase price (minimum €10,000 incl. VAT) on the Exclusive offer, or 1.5% on the Confidential offer for projects of €2m and above, plus 10% of the negotiated reduction in both cases. Home Select is paid on success only, and also on what you save: nothing is due until you have bought.
