Property type · Nice
In Nice, the penthouse is the top floor of a building on the Promenade des Anglais or in the Carré d’Or, or a rooftop terrace on the hills of Mont Boron and Cimiez, with the Baie des Anges in front. These properties often sell among insiders; Home Select hunts them and brings you over only for the decisive viewings.

The essentials
Home Select, buyer’s agent in Nice, searches for penthouses exclusively on the buyer’s behalf. The DVF register does not single out this type of property: it counts it among apartments, whose median stands at €4,900/m² over the 12 months to end of June 2026 (7,740 sales), a benchmark that the address, the floor area, the land and the condition move. Home Select opens access to off-market properties, with fees 100% on success.
On the ground
A penthouse for sale in Nice reads on the apartment median of the survey, €4,900/m² over the 12 months to end of June 2026, as a floor: the DVF register does not single out the top floor, and a penthouse with a terrace over the bay trades case by case, far above it. Value lies in the terrace, the actual sea view, the orientation, the calm and the building, caretaker, pool and parking included.
Supply is rare and the buyer often international: British, Scandinavian, Italian, Belgian, Swiss, American, and French families who want the city and the sea all year, half an hour from Monaco and a few minutes from the airport. Home Select checks the nature of the terrace, the waterproofing, the co-ownership rules and the works voted before you commit.
Alpes-Maritimes
The Promenade des Anglais and the Carré d’Or, between the sea and the boulevard Victor-Hugo; Mont Boron and the Cap de Nice, above the port; Cimiez and its Belle Époque palaces; Port Lympia and its terraces facing the boats; further east, Villefranche-sur-Mer and Beaulieu (€8,400/m²) for terraces over the bay.
On the ground
On this market, a share of the sought-after properties sells before publication, between families and through notaires and local networks. Home Select receives more than 100 off-market properties every day from its network of 15,000 partners.
Every lead is verified and priced for you before you travel, on file then on a video viewing: you view only the shortlisted properties, your decisive viewings grouped into a single trip. Home Select then defends your offer, with a complete file and the actual sales of the area in hand.
Surveys, co-ownership rules, easements, local building specifics: every document is checked before you commit.
Both are billed only if the property is found and the purchase completed. On top comes 10% of the negotiated reduction: Home Select is also paid on what you save.

The Confidential offerFrequently asked questions
The Promenade des Anglais sells the sea in front of you, the town and the beach on foot; Mont Boron sells the plunging view over the bay, calm and often the building’s garden, with the car. Both read far above the apartment median, €4,900/m² over the 12 months to end of June 2026, the terrace and the view making most of the price.
The nature of the terrace, private or a common part with exclusive use, its waterproofing and who pays for it, the minutes of the general meetings and the works voted, the insulation and air conditioning of the top floor, the view and what could block it tomorrow. Home Select checks every document of the file before you commit.
No public statistic singles out this type of property: the DVF register counts it among apartments, whose median stands at €4,900/m² across 7,740 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 reading benchmark, not an appraisal: the address, the floor area, the land, the view and the condition make the price of each property, and Home Select documents it sale by sale before any offer.
The calendar depends on how rare the target property is in Nice 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.
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 Nice, the monitoring starts with two sectors: Cimiez, then Mont Boron. That is often where the unfindable property is.
Home Select, a buyer’s agent in Nice, 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.
