Paris 18e, Île-de-France
Île-de-France · Paris
The hill and the town: Montmartre and its stairs, the Sacré-Cœur on top, and all around the liveliest arrondissement of the north, its markets, its rails and its 3,387 sales a year, the largest volume in Paris. Buyers here purchase character stone, a view or a first flat, rarely all three at once.

Paris 18e at a glance
01The market
In 2025, 3,387 sales were recorded in Paris 18th: enough to choose from, never enough for the finest addresses.
The median for apartments has moved -13% since 2021 and +2.3% over one year: a market correcting, address by address.
Sales range from €6,000/m² to €13,500/m²: address and condition make the price.
The median stands at €9,000/m² in 2025, a 2.3% rebound over one year after a low of €8,800/m² in 2024 and a slide from €10,400/m² in 2021: the correction found its limit. First decile at €6,000/m², ninth at €13,500/m²: the butte is worth more than twice the Chapelle, square metre for square metre.
3,387 sales in 2025, the largest volume in Paris: an average floor area of 41.3 sqm, the smallest in the capital, and a time to sale of 42 days. Landlord demand meets first-time buyers: studios and one-bedroom flats near the stations go fast, and the houses of the butte, extremely rare, sell between aficionados.
Vigilance is twofold: the old stock, more than a third predating 1919, piles up surveys and staircases without lifts; short-term tourist lets, concentrated around the butte, change the life of co-ownerships and are strictly regulated there. Check the rules, the accounts and the actual use of the floors.

02The neighbourhoods
Four quarters, one hill: old Montmartre, the markets of the north, the working town to the east.
From the Sacré-Cœur to the Lapin Agile and the Clos Montmartre, paved lanes, vines and low houses: a rich, rare stock, where homes are handed down more than listed.
The Saint-Pierre market and its fabrics, the Saint-Ouen flea markets at the gates of the quarter: a working, popular north, with deep rental buildings and the gentlest prices of the western slope.
Around the Dejean market and rue Myrha, the youngest, liveliest part of the arrondissement: small buildings, passages and a first-time-buyer demand renovating stone by stone.
The Halle Pajol, a former postal depot turned library and youth hostel, structures the renewal of the quarter, and the rails of the Gare du Nord recall the proximity: viewings at rush hour are a must.
Between place du Tertre and the vineyard, stair-lanes and low buildings: an attic duplex with views over the rooftops, absolute calm a hundred metres from the tourists. Check the access, the heating and the damp of old walls.
Steps from line 4 and the market, small old buildings often split into studios: a letting-investor profile, strong yield, sustained upkeep works, and hands-on management indispensable to hold the value over time.
Around the converted hall and rue Riquet, former warehouses become unusual homes: glass roofs, factory volumes, rooftop terraces. The 18th in full transformation, to be bought with every survey in hand.
Three buying profiles to place your own in Paris 18th. Orientation pointers, which your property finder refines with you at the brief.
Hesitating between two neighbourhoods in Paris 18th, or between an apartment and a house? Home Select compares them for you, sale by sale and on video pre-viewings, before having you travel.

03Living and buying
Montmartre is earned on foot: morning stairs replace the gym, the vines of the Clos hold their harvest festival in October, and the place du Tertre plays its postcard for visitors. Below, the streets of everyday shopping run down to the boulevards.
Culture here is a way of life: the Moulin Rouge and the cabarets at the foot of the butte, the cinemas of nearby place de Clichy, and the musée de Montmartre, its gardens and artists’ studios, recalling that the hill was once their capital.
Three projects, three markets
The 18th concentrates the contrasts of northern Paris: Montmartre and Les Abbesses on the postcard side, La Goutte d’Or and La Chapelle in full recomposition. Over 3,000 sales a year, a median among the capital’s most accessible, wide demand, students to families. Value plays street by street: one postcode covers different worlds.
Montmartre remains a sought-after pied-à-terre address: a studio or one-bedroom under the roofs, reopened for weekends, the butte as only garden. Intermittent use tolerates the lack of a lift. Check the quiet and the safety of the exact street: a hundred metres away, everything changes. Short-stay demand is lively all year.
Living in the 18th is a dense, alive Paris: the Montmartre butte and its stairs, the Dejean market on the Chapelle side, the Saint-Ouen flea markets at the gate. Four métro lines serve the arrondissement. Families rather settle towards Les Grandes-Carrières, where surfaces remain affordable for Paris.
04From abroad
Montmartre deserves its climb: line 12 rises to rue Marx Dormoy, line 4 serves Barbès and Château Rouge up to Porte de Clignancourt, line 2 crowns the butte from Anvers to Pigalle, line 13 brushes the west, and a funicular spares the stairs to pilgrims of the Sacré-Coeur. The Gare du Nord borders the arrondissement to the south: trains to London in just over two hours, RER B to Roissy in about half an hour. For a buyer from northern Europe, the butte is often the first image of Paris, and the easiest to reach.
The 18th mixes worlds: La Goutte-d’Or and its Dejean market, the West African grocery stores of Château Rouge, artists from every continent opening studios around rue d’Orsel, film crews shooting the butte at dawn. The international community here is popular and creative, younger than elsewhere, and still affordable rents attract mixed couples. Bilingual schools remain rare: families look towards the neighbouring 9th. Home Select works here for buyers who like quarters alive by night as by day.
Three thousand three hundred and eighty-seven sales a year: the busiest market in intramuros Paris, on an average floor area of 41 square metres. The grape harvest festival in October floods the butte: better to view before or after. Spring remains the full season, summer brings the foreign buyers who love a living city. The frankest negotiations take place in January, when the New Year short lets subside and sellers recalculate.

Regulated short-term letting, concentrated around the butte: the co-ownership can object, the city controls. The use of neighbouring floors also changes your calm: the rule is read before the offer.
More than a third of the stock predates 1919: electrics, plumbing, no lift, shared façade works. A cheaper price per square metre can cost more to bring up to standard.

09Your project
The questions common to every city (purchase costs, remote search, choosing your finder) are gathered on one page: all the frequently asked questions.
Because the local market has its own rules. 3,387 sales in 2025: the largest volume in Paris, and so the widest choice. A property finder works for you alone, on the buyer’s side: daily monitoring, access to off-market sales, 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, April 2026 release, 2025 sales), the median price in Paris 18th stands at €9,000/m² for an apartment. These medians are market benchmarks, not an appraisal: the address, the floor, the condition and scarcity make the final price.
The median stands at €9,000/m² on 2025 sales: a 40 sqm one-bedroom trades around €360,000, and half of the sales fall between €6,000 and €13,500/m² depending on the slope, the street and the lift.
Short-term tourist letting in Paris is strictly regulated, authorisation and compensation included, and co-ownership rules often object: not a purchase to plan without prior checks. We review the building rules first.
In 2025, 3,387 sales were recorded in Paris 18th: enough to choose from, never enough for the finest addresses. The median for apartments has moved -13% since 2021 and +2.3% over one year: a market correcting, address by address.
Home Select completes its searches in 45 days on average, with 3 viewings on the client side instead of 40 and about fifteen hours of your time. In Paris 18e, the exact calendar depends on how rare the target property is: it is framed at the brief, then held.
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 Paris 18e, the monitoring starts with two sectors: Grandes-Carrières and old Montmartre, then Clignancourt. That is often where the unfindable property is.
The volume of sales, 3,387 in 2025, and rental demand are the widest in Paris, but the yield depends on the entry price, the works and the charges. We cost all three before the offer, with no convenient optimism.
Two popular quarters transforming at different paces: the Goutte-d’Or, Dejean market and passages, wins the first-time buyers’ vote; Clignancourt, fabrics and flea markets, stays more family-oriented. Prices have met; atmospheres have not.
For a few years, yes; for thirty, rarely: floors without lifts resell harder to families. The view from the fifth does not always comfort a tired back.
On the butte, crowds concentrate on a few streets between the Sacré-Cœur and the place du Tertre; three minutes away, the village turns calm again. Choose your street with the flow map, not the postcard.
Home Select, a property finder in Paris 18th, 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.
