Nice, the trendy City of Angels
Nice, also called The City of Angels or Nissa la Bella, in reference to Los Angeles and the anthem "A la mieu bella Nissa" (To my beautiful Nice) in the Nice language, is a coastal city in the South of France.
Capital of the Alpes-Maritimes department, located on the French Riviera, Nice is a city that has always attracted and fascinated artists.
With more than 340,000 inhabitants, Nissa la Bella, listed as a World Heritage Site, attracts because of its cultural offer, but also economic: it offers fertile ground for entrepreneurship; as well as tourism, especially with its famous Promenade des Anglais, which attracts visitors from all over the world.
Bordered by the Mediterranean Sea on the most famous and popular of the French coasts, it is the perfect destination for those seeking the gentleness of the South of France with the prestige of the most beautiful capitals.

The City of Angels will certainly appeal to lovers of the seaside, nature, art, parties and beautiful things. Housing is very popular and rents are rather high compared to the national average.
The housing shortage in Nice is very strong
We speak of a housing shortage when the rental market experiences an imbalance between supply and demand. In short, tenants often struggle to find furnished accommodation.
As in nearly 60% of cities in France, Nice suffers from a very strong and even extreme shortage of furnished accommodation: there is at least twice as much demand as supply.
We count in Nice about between 2 and 4 times more demands than offers.
What type of accommodation to choose to stay in Nice ?
The type of accommodation is defined by two main criteria.
In real estate jargon, housing types are categorized according to what is called an attribute (T1, T2, T3, T4, etc.). This attribute indicates the number of living rooms: the living room and the bedroom(s). Thus, a T1 apartment is a dwelling which is composed of only one room, a T2 apartment which contains two rooms etc.
We can also categorize the types of accommodation according to the mode of rental. We will then find the following types of accommodation: entire accommodation, shared accommodation, residence, homestay, accommodation in exchange for services, CROUS, etc.

45% of furnished accommodation offered to Nice are studios or T1

50% of furnished apartments for rent are one-bedroom from Nice apartments
-
15% of the furnished rental offer in Nissa la bella concerns apartments T3 or more
What surface for a furnished apartment in Nice?
The type of accommodation only indicates the number of rooms and not the size of the apartment. Thus, a T1 apartment can be larger than a T3 apartment. It is therefore necessary to take an interest in its surface!

-
The size of 72% of accommodations is between 40 and 99m²

It is necessary to count a surface of more than 100m² for 8% of rental apartments in Nice

560€/month for a studio or a one-bedroom apartment,
-
800€/month for a two-bedroom apartment,
