Living in Pointe Rouge and Les Goudes
Daily life plays out between the marina, the Pointe Rouge beach and the waterside tables; in the morning the walk joins the corniche des Goudes along the coves. In Les Goudes itself, the village lives around its fishing port and its cabanons, the city stops, and the massif of the calanques begins: paths, pines, water fifteen minutes from the city centre.
The car remains the rule: the shore buses serve the corniche, but the area is lived in by vehicle, beach gear included. The trade-off buys one of the wildest settings of any big French city: the national park of the calanques overhead, the beach below, and a community of sailors, divers and families who know each other.

The buildings and what sells in Pointe Rouge and Les Goudes
The cabanon is the founding typology of the sector: first a fishing or weekend house, simple, low, set as close to the water as possible, which the decades have renovated one by one into small character homes. Some keep the original wall and the front-row sea view, others have grown into terraces. They have become rare, fought over, and a significant share changes hands without a listing.
Behind the seafront, villas from the 1960s to the 90s and a few recent residences climb the slopes: pools, garrigue gardens, a sea view clearing as one climbs. The massif of the calanques, protected, in fact forbids the city from extending: this is a stock market, and near-zero buildability protects what exists.
Streets and micro-sectors
- 01
The Pointe Rouge port and beach
Around the marina and the beach, addresses combine seafront activity and neighbourhood life: shops, tables, sector schools. Recent buildings offer terraces and a sea view above the trees; the houses in the lanes behind keep the quiet.
- 02
The corniche des Goudes
The corniche road lines up the sector’s most watched villas: full sea view on one side, the massif on the other, discreet addresses behind their walls. The counterpart is called summer traffic and spray; the view, it, does not negotiate.
- 03
The village of Les Goudes
At the end of the road, the fishing port and its cabanons form a village apart, the city over. Properties are rare, often handed down, sometimes renovated with a care that costs; the narrow access is lived as a choice.
- 04
The slopes of the massif
In the slopes above the corniche, villas with pool and garrigue garden watch the sea from above. It is the address for families who want the sea without the seafront, with the national park as next-door garden and the beach five minutes downhill.

How Home Select hunts in Pointe Rouge and Les Goudes?
Home Select follows Pointe Rouge and Les Goudes street by street, with a written brief fixing the view, the distance to the water, the access and the required land. The network of 15,000 professional partners and the 100-plus off-market properties surfaced every day open the cabanons families do not entrust to a listing and the villas dealt privately. The finder pre-visits every property before proposing it.
Before the offer, the finder audits what makes the value or the risk of a shore property: exposure to spray and the state of façades, flat-roof waterproofing, retaining walls of sloping gardens, natural risks of the massif and national-park prescriptions, individual drainage where the sewer stops. For the buyer coming from afar, the finder keeps only the properties matching the brief: three viewings on average are enough, and the negotiation earns on average 6% off the seller’s price.
Three finder’s reflexes in Pointe Rouge and Les Goudes
- 01 Read the park map before the view
The national park of the calanques frames works, extensions and gestures on buildings and vegetation alike. The finder checks what the plot allows before an imaginary terrace pays the price of a real view.
- 02 Count the spray in the upkeep
A seafront façade is repainted twice as often as a city one. The finder has the real cost of waterside upkeep assessed: joinery, balconies, waterproofing. A cabanon’s true price reads over ten years, not on the deed.
- 03 Check the access before falling in love
Some Goudes addresses are reached by narrow lanes, stairs or right-of-way easements. Moving in, doing works, insuring: everything is checked before the offer, and the finder has it checked.
A property finder answers within one working day. A first confidential conversation, with no commitment.

Frequently asked questions
Buying in Pointe Rouge and Les Goudes: your questions
How much does a villa cost in Pointe Rouge and Les Goudes?
The sector trades around the Marseille house median, which stands at €4,600/sqm in 2025 according to DVF, apartments at €3,200/sqm. Home Select publishes no price per neighbourhood: the DVF survey covers the commune. Most house sales sit between €2,500 and €8,600/sqm: a renovated seafront cabanon sits at the top of that range, a pool villa on the slopes in the middle.
What types of property are found in Pointe Rouge and Les Goudes?
Three typologies: the renovated cabanon by the water, the pool villa on the slopes, and a few sea-view apartments in the seafront residences of Pointe Rouge. Cabanons and villas are often dealt off-market; apartments make up most listed sales.
Can one build or extend in Les Goudes?
Almost no more: the massif of the calanques is protected and the market is a stock market. Extending a cabanon, raising it, digging a pool is handled case by case within the park’s prescriptions and the local plan. That is precisely what protects the value of what exists.
Does the area suit a family?
Yes, provided the car is accepted as a way of life: sector schools to reach, secondary schools further, beach and port below. Families here choose the setting, the sport and the size of the houses, and organise around what service density does not offer.
How long does it take to buy, and do off-market properties exist?
With Home Select, the purchase completes in 45 days on average, against 6 months for a lone buyer, with 3 viewings instead of more than 40. Off-market is the rule here: cabanons handed down, villas dealt through networks. For a project of €2m and above, the Confidential offer presents only off-market properties.
What are your fees in Marseille?
