Annecy · Districts
Home Select, a prestige buyer’s agent, describes each Annecy address for what it is: a precise purchase product, with its buildings, its buyers and its traps. From the old town’s canals to the eastern shore’s villages, the guide tells you where your budget belongs according to the project.
Updated on 19 October 2026
A first confidential conversation, with no commitment
01Districts
Annecy reads in two beats. The town first, with its canals, its arcaded streets and its old buildings, then, heading north-east, residential districts where families find space without leaving the lakeshore. That is where town life happens, schools and shops included.
The lake next, the real subject: the eastern shore, from Veyrier-du-Lac to Menthon and Talloires, forms the summit of French lakeshore addresses; the western shore, from Sevrier to Duingt via Saint-Jorioz, offers lake views with evening exposure, in preserved villages.
02Districts
The old town and its canals, the island and the Palais de l’Isle, and the Impérial quarter around the palace and its gardens facing the lake. Rare, contested character apartments within walking distance of everything: the urban heart of the Annecy market.
Rhône-Alpes - Annecy - The boats and bell towers of old Annecy
The historic commune merged into Annecy, between the north shore and the slopes: family villas, quiet residences, the beaches a bike ride away. The deep family market, where houses with gardens go fast.
The morning-sun shore, the most prized of France for a lake: Veyrier and its properties on the slope, Menthon and its castle, Talloires and its bay. Waterside homes are unfindable in listings: they are handed down or discreetly negotiated.
Rhône-Alpes - Annecy - The Château de Menthon-Saint-Bernard
The western shore, exposed to the setting sun: Sevrier, Saint-Jorioz and their villas with views over the lake and the Tournette. A more accessible market than the eastern shore, highly sought for its sunsets and its proximity to the expressway to Annecy.
The far end of the lake and its preserved villages: Duingt and its two castles on the rock, Doussard, the wild Thiou shores. Family properties that rarely sell, in absolute calm twenty minutes from town.
Rhône-Alpes - Annecy - The Château de Duingt
Old Annecy and Impérial: a renovated characterful flat, medieval canals or lake shore, walking distance from everything. For regular use and short stays year round.
Annecy-le-Vieux and Albigny: a calm residential setting, schools, university and easy lake access. The choice for settling in, with the full range of services.
Veyrier-du-Lac, Menthon and Talloires: a house or villa on the eastern shore, lake views and privacy. A narrow, hotly contested market, where anticipation counts as much as budget.

The question is never which is the finest Annecy address, but which matches the actual use: an old-town apartment lives on foot year-round, an eastern-shore house asks for the car and someone on site, a western-shore village is chosen for exposure and calm.
Old Annecy and l’Impérial: canals, lake, schools and shops, character in the centre.
Annecy-le-Vieux and Albigny: family addresses near the shores and the schools.
East shore for the summit, west shore for evening views: two markets, two exposures.
04Districts
In old Annecy: old stock, façades, charges of small co-ownerships, parking. On the shores: access, water, view servitudes, winter upkeep of properties, and the distance to amenities one always underestimates. The dreamt-of address and the purchasable address are not always the same: that is where Home Select’s work starts.
A buyer’s agent answers within one working day. A first confidential conversation, with no commitment.
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.

Old Annecy and l’Impérial for town on foot, Annecy-le-Vieux and Albigny for families, and the lake’s eastern shore, from Veyrier to Talloires, for the summit of lakeshore addresses. The latter trades largely off-listing: it is a market of watch and network.
Two exposures, two markets: the eastern shore faces the Semnoz massif in a morning atmosphere, the western shore receives the evening and the sunsets over the lake, with the preserved villages from Sevrier to Duingt. Sector data puts the eastern shore clearly above: usage and exposure decide, not price alone.
On both shores and their villages: Veyrier, Menthon, Talloires to the east, Sevrier, Saint-Jorioz, Duingt to the west, and the slopes above the town. A share of these properties trades without listing: the watch of a finder connected to the area’s professionals makes the difference.
Home Select, a buyer’s agent in Annecy, 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.
