In addition to its excellent public transportation connections, Neuilly is popular with a high-end clientèle for its quality of life, its many green spaces, its wide tree-lined avenues, its lively town centre, and its top-tier schools. And another good reason to buy or rent a property in Neuilly is the town’s architectural personality often touted by the Hauts-de-Seine département : away from the commotion of the capital, the chic private mansions and apartment buildings attest to Neuilly’s expansion under the Second Empire. Le Corbusier applied his modulor principle here, a contraction of “module” and “nombre d’or” (golden number), by creating housing units characteristic of the “brutalist” style he employed, as evidenced by the two Jaoul homes at 81 bis, Rue de Longchamp. Other leading architects of the 1930s also designed some of the remarkable buildings in Neuilly, including Michel Roux-Spitz and Pierre Barbe. Just a stroll through the streets makes the prominence of the Art Deco style clear to see, in the form of residential buildings still highly coveted by families for their vast spaces and natural light. More recently, the town's proximity to La Défense (on the other side of the Seine) has made it the ideal location to establish the headquarters of many international companies, in structures designed by the greatest names in global architecture such as Ricardo Bofill.

For the tranquillity of its wide avenues

Such a level of excellence comes with high property prices, between €10,000 and €13,000 per square metre on average and peaking at €15,000 to €17,000 per sq.m for premium properties. The market core lies with 3-bed apartments, if possible close to schools and ideally with an outdoor space, either a terrace or a large balcony. In the very upmarket segment, townhouses and private mansions hold an iron-clad attraction. Potential buyers are looking at upwards of 3 million euros for those, while properties with a large garden often go for over 10 million. New-builds are rare in Neuilly-sur-Seine, although that doesn't mean there aren’t interesting new developments on offer for around €14,000 per sq.m.
In terms of choice of district, it’s a question of philosophy: while some buyers swear by the town centre for its hustle and bustle, its shops and its restaurants, others prefer the residential areas between the centre and the neighbouring town of Levallois-Perret for the tranquillity of its wide avenues and boulevards (Inkermann, Victor-Hugo, Bineau). Another popular option is the residential south Neuilly area, between the Seine and the Bois de Boulogne (Rue de Longchamp, Avenue de Madrid, Saint-James district) for its greenery and the magnificent buildings and private mansions. Not forgetting the atypical alternative, the Île de la Jatte, partially located in Neuilly, which forms a coveted residential neighbourhood with an original architecture, adding to the island nature of the location with the Seine as the backdrop.
