Buying in the 20th arrondissement with a property hunter

The 20th is popular, multicultural and creative Paris. From Belleville to Ménilmontant, from Père-Lachaise to Gambetta, it attracts those wanting an authentic, lively and affordable Paris. It's the arrondissement of artists, young families and first-time buyers.

The buyer profile in the 20th is Paris's most diverse: first-time buyers, artists, teachers, young families, all seeking a neighbourhood with a strong identity and accessible prices. The 20th also attracts rental investors thanks to above-average Parisian yields.

The 20th's asset is neighbourhood life: Belleville and its Chinese restaurants, Jourdain and its cafés, Ménilmontant and its street art, Gambetta and its village life. Each micro-neighbourhood has a distinct personality.

The property stock is dominated by old working-class buildings: faubourien brick or stone, often without lift, with inner courtyards and workshops. A property hunter who knows the 20th identifies well-maintained buildings and streets gaining value.
