Côte d’Azur · Alpes-Maritimes
Between the largest marina in Europe and the pine groves of the cap, Antibes plays on two registers: the old town and its ramparts facing the open sea, and the Cap d’Antibes, a confidential market of world rank where properties trade away from view. Juan-les-Pins adds a lively seafront, to be sorted with rigour.

The essentials
Home Select is a property finder in Antibes, searching since 2011 on the exclusive behalf of the buyer, from Old Antibes and Port Vauban to the estates of the Cap d’Antibes. The firm opens access to off-market properties, the rule on the cape, with fees 100% on success and nothing upfront.
Antibes at a glance
On the ground
In 2025, 2,154 sales were recorded in Antibes: enough to choose from, never enough for the finest addresses.
The median for apartments is up +16% since 2021, +2% in the last year alone: the trend holds, and sellers know it.
Sales range from €3,600/m² to €7,900/m²: address and condition make the price.
Antibes lives on two markets that everything separates: the old town and Juan-les-Pins, deep, lively, demanding on sorting, and the Cap d’Antibes, confidential, global, where properties trade away from view. The same search often covers both: a town apartment for the year, a villa on the cape for the summer.
On the cape, the essential is not displayed: large properties under the pines circulate between advisers, families and professionals. Value depends on closeness to the water, coastal servitudes and the condition of accesses, and the buying window is prepared long in advance.

Micro-markets
From the maze within the ramparts to the parasol pines of the cap, Antibes moves to two tempos, one urban and lively, one secret.
The peninsula between the bay of Juan and the Baie des Anges, one of the most sought-after addresses of the Mediterranean: large estates under the pines, the Hôtel du Cap and its gardens, the Garoupe lighthouse and chapel. A world-rank market, almost entirely off-list.
Old Antibes under its Vauban ramparts: colourful village houses, the Provençal market square, character apartments on foot from the port and the Picasso. A deep, living market, where building condition and seasonal management create every gap.
The southern slope, between the Salis beach and the Garoupe cove: villas and houses a few steps from the water, views over the cape and the bay. The most sought-after entry point of the cape market, contested as soon as an address comes out.
The Jazz à Juan resort: a lively seafront, 1930s and contemporary residences facing the sandy beaches. Real pied-à-terre opportunities, but severe sorting is required: buildings, seasonality, noise and address quality create major gaps.
The residential hills north of the town: quiet tree-lined quarters, family villas, views over the sea and the Estérel massif. A more confidential and more accessible market, where local monitoring surfaces true family houses.
Targeting precisely
Cap d’Antibes, La Salis and La Garoupe: a villa with grounds and sea access, in one of the coast’s most discreet markets. Almost everything here is handled off-listing.
Old Antibes and Port Vauban: a characterful flat inside the ramparts, walking distance from the Provençal market and the quays. For regular use, without a car.
Juan-les-Pins and the heights of Antibes: a seafront flat or a villa above it, between beaches and pines. Check orientation, service charges and how much seasonal letting the co-ownership carries.
Three buying profiles to place your own in Antibes. Orientation pointers, which your property finder refines with you at the brief.
Art de vivre
Mornings begin under the covered hall of the Cours Masséna, at the Provençal market: cut flowers, goat’s cheeses from the hills, warm socca. The Promenade Amiral de Grasse then runs between ramparts and sea to the Château Grimaldi and its Picasso museum, before dropping back to Port Vauban, where classic sailing yachts sit alongside the great hulls of the Quai des Milliardaires. In the evening, the tables of old Antibes fill early, from bistros on small squares to discreet gastronomic addresses.
The rhythm changes with the seasons. Summer belongs to La Garoupe and its beach cabanas, to Jazz à Juan evenings under the Gould pine grove, to early swims at La Salis. Out of season, the coastal path known as the Sentier de Tire-Poil circles the cap through the scent of Aleppo pines, and the winter light returns the ramparts to their calm. The town then lives year-round, markets included, which sets it apart from many resorts.
Non-resident buyers
Antibes is about twenty minutes from Nice-Côte d’Azur airport, France’s third busiest, which flies direct to more than 100 destinations including London, Dubai, the main European hubs and New York in season. Antibes station sits on the coastal line and takes the TGV: Paris is about 5 h 30 away, with links to Geneva, Milan and Brussels. The regional train puts Cannes a quarter of an hour away and Nice twenty-five minutes, which makes living here without a car realistic.
Antibes is home to one of the oldest international communities on the Riviera, fed by the Port Vauban marina and decades of English-speaking presence tied to yachting. Schools, shops and services routinely operate in English. The market itself splits sharply: on the cape, large properties change hands without ever appearing in a listing, while the seafront is decided building by building.
The market follows the Riviera calendar: active in spring, March to June, then at the September-October return, slowed but never halted through the summer. In Juan-les-Pins, July and August saturate traffic and parking, which makes viewings hard to use. For a remote buyer, May-June and then September-October remain the windows to aim for; the quieter winter shows the town’s true residential face.

Three projects, three markets
The same market does not read the same way depending on what you have come for. Here is what each of the three projects means on the ground.
Antibes combines two rental demands: the permanent one from Sophia Antipolis and its executives, and the seasonal one from Port Vauban and Juan-les-Pins. That double seasonality makes the market steadier than the coastal average. What remains is to check, property by property, the building management, the charges and the framework applying to furnished tourist lets.
Cap d’Antibes for the discreet property under the pines, old Antibes for the town house inside the ramparts, Juan-les-Pins for the lively seafront: three very different uses. For a seasonal stay, the decisive question remains walking access to the sea and parking, two things no photograph shows.
Antibes is a year-round town, carried by Sophia Antipolis: international schools, shops open in winter, a port that lives through the season. International families are numerous here, which simplifies schooling. The heights offer gardens, old Antibes life on foot. Nice and its airport are twenty-five minutes away.

Advice from Home Select
On the cap, the window opens before any listing, which never comes: circulate a precise brief among the right intermediaries, and check from the outset the coastal footpath easement, access to the water and the condition of boundary walls.
Facing the sea, salt spray ages façades, ironwork and waterproofing fast: read the recent general-meeting minutes, the maintenance record and the rules on seasonal letting before falling for a view. The service charges tell the building’s story better than the photograph.
On an international market, the rare property goes to whoever can commit: proof of funds ready, notary appointed, financing cleared in advance. Group the viewings into a single trip and keep a window open to sign; here, hesitation costs.

Frequently asked questions
Because the local market has its own rules. On the cap, off-market is the rule: large estates never appear in a listing. A property finder works for you alone, on the buyer’s side: daily monitoring, access to off-market sales around Cap d’Antibes and Old Antibes and Port Vauban, strict shortlisting and negotiation. Since 2011, Home Select has run more than 1,200 searches with this method, rated 4.8/5 on Google.
Based on actual recorded sales (DVF / DGFiP via data.gouv.fr, millésime avril 2026, ventes 2025), the median price in Antibes stands at €5,200/m² for an apartment and €6,200/m² for a house. These medians are market benchmarks, not an appraisal: the address, the floor, the condition and scarcity make the final price.
In 2025, 2 rooms traded at a median of €5,200/m² per sqm, on a median surface of 46 sqm (DVF / DGFiP via data.gouv.fr, millésime avril 2026, ventes 2025). A median home of the bracket changes hands around €239,000; condition, floor and address then make the rest of the price.
Notaire fees first: around 7 to 8% of the price on an existing home, 2 to 3% on a new build, paid on the day of signing. Then the finder’s fee, due on success only, and depending on the property the taxe foncière, service charges and a works budget. Home Select prices the whole picture before the offer: the asking price hides nothing. Our notary fees calculator gives the order of magnitude in one line.
Yes, but almost never through listings: cap properties circulate between professionals and through direct approach. It is a market of patience and network, exactly a property finder’s market.
For a pied-à-terre facing the sea, yes, provided you sort severely: buildings, seasonality and address quality create major gaps. We only present what holds its value.
In 2025, 2,154 sales were recorded in Antibes: enough to choose from, never enough for the finest addresses. The median for apartments is up +16% since 2021, +2% in the last year alone: the trend holds, and sellers know it.
Our searches complete in 45 days on average, with 3 viewings on the client side instead of 40 and about fifteen hours of your time. In Antibes, the monitoring covers Cap d’Antibes and Old Antibes and Port Vauban from day one, and the calendar, framed at the brief, is held.
Yes, it is Home Select’s daily routine: 30% of its clients are expatriates or international buyers. Video brief, remote shortlisting and commented pre-visits, viewings grouped into a single trip to Antibes, and the team works in French and in English.
Through the network and direct approach: Home Select’s 15,000 professional partners surface more than 100 properties every day before they go on sale, and Home Select also contacts owners when the setting calls for it. In Antibes, the monitoring covers Cap d’Antibes and Old Antibes and Port Vauban first: that is often where the unfindable property is.
For life on foot, old Antibes: the Provençal market, the ramparts, the restaurants, everything without a car. For the beach, the Salis and Garoupe side, between town and cap. The heights suit longer stays, with gardens and views. The right choice follows real use: week or season, on foot or set back.
Yes, but not through listings: on the cape, the large properties under the pines never appear, and the confidential market is world-class. The preparation happens upstream, knowledge of the estates and their owners included. Old Antibes, La Salis and La Garoupe offer real alternatives of character; Juan-les-Pins demands serious sorting between tourism stock and genuine addresses.
The co-ownership before the view: on the seafront, the condition of the building, the charges, the voted works and the seasonal-let regime change the value of one and the same floor. Then the cape’s local rules, protected zones and easements included. And since the market moves fast, a complete file, financing and guarantees in place, makes the difference between seeing the property and winning it.
The cape draws international families, British, Scandinavian, American, often already owners elsewhere in the Mediterranean, buying for a generation. Old Antibes and La Salis appeal to Parisians buying second homes and Sophia Antipolis professionals settling year-round. On rare properties, speed of decision and file strength win: both are prepared.
Yes: seasonal demand from the cape and Juan stretches from April to October, and year-round letting finds tenants among Sophia Antipolis professionals. But seafront co-ownerships often restrict short lets, and the use regime is checked address by address. The letting project is targeted before the viewing: it draws the list.
Nice airport is twenty minutes away, the TGV stops at Antibes: the town is covered in one efficient day. The cape asks more: confidential properties open on a prepared appointment, file in hand. Our network work starts weeks before the trip: it makes the list, not the portals.
On the cape, properties under the pines live to the rhythm of garden upkeep, green fences and accesses; on the seafront, voted charges and the seasonal-let regime change the real cost. Old Antibes asks for the classic repairs of old fabric. Every item is costed before the offer: the house rule.
To hunt in Antibes, check four points: a search mandate on the buyer’s side only, published fees due on success, a written method, proof that lasts. Home Select answers all four: founded in 2011, 1,200+ buyers guided, 4.8/5 on Google (130+ reviews), fees displayed, 100% on success.
Home Select 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. Home Select is paid on success only: nothing is due until you have bought.
