The Exclusive offerParis Property Hunter: 18th
Home Select searches, visits and negotiates for you in the 18th. You only visit the properties shortlisted, and nothing is due before the deed is signed.
The median price per sqm in Paris's 18th arrondissement is 8,900 € in 2026. Montmartre, Jules Joffrin, Clignancourt: the 18th records 3,187 transactions per year with a 42-day selling time. Home Select, a property hunter in Paris since 2011, supports buyers in this iconic and contrasted arrondissement.
The 18th is Montmartre and its contrasts. From touristy Sacré-Coeur to trendy Abbesses, from multicultural Goutte d'Or to quiet Jules Joffrin, this working-class arrondissement increasingly attracts bobos.

Buying in the 18th arrondissement with a property hunter
The 18th is Paris's most contrasted arrondissement. Montmartre, its staircases, vineyards, artists' studios, is one of northern Paris's most expensive quarters. At the opposite end, Goutte d'Or and Barbès are among the capital's most accessible areas. In between, gentrifying micro-neighbourhoods offer remarkable opportunities.
The buyer profile in the 18th depends on the sector: artists and creative executives in Montmartre, young first-time couples at Jules Joffrin and Abbesses, buyers seeking accessible prices in Goutte d'Or. The 18th also attracts an international clientele drawn by the Montmartre myth.
The 18th's asset is potential: transforming neighbourhoods (Clignancourt, Marx Dormoy) offer entry prices among central Paris's lowest, with significant appreciation prospects. Montmartre village itself is a separate prestige market, with houses and studios found nowhere else.
The caution point is geography: two streets apart can separate a highly valued quarter from a less desirable area. A property hunter who knows the 18th street by street is essential.
The 18th is the soul of Paris: Montmartre, the hill, the staircases, the studios: a village perched above the city where every street has a story to tell.
