Apartments for rent in Paris, France

People say that living in Paris is like getting a lesson in history in beauty on a daily basis, and it’s fair to admit that’s true. The ‘City of Love’ and wonderful romantic movies, this cultural gem is one of the popular cities in Europe. Life here is not just about standing in front of the Eiffel Tower and visiting the most popular tourist destinations; it’s about the streets, neighborhoods, and the people.

City Overview

If you compare the number of those living in Paris now and back in 1921, you’ll see that the historical peak is over. Paris citizens eventually decide to start a suburban life. This is an excellent sign that the whole region is great, not just the city itself; you have plenty of options to choose from among the Paris region neighborhoods. Right now, you can see the upward trend of the population density in Paris. Generally, the city residents love the city, but the rents are very high, and it gets hard to compete for an average rental. However, when you figure out the apartment hunting quest here, you can proudly call yourself a resident of one of the most popular world capitals.

Business & Economy

The times when Paris only benefited from traditional manufacturing are way behind, and now you can see how this city shifted to the more of a technological industry player. Unfortunately, this is the reason why the social gap started to appear among the Paris inhabitants. For example, northeastern Paris neighborhoods faced a pretty high unemployment rate. Paris can be proud of its economic center located in the west part of the city. Basically, that’s the final stop of the daily commute of thousands if not millions of the residents. This means that many workers who managed to find an apartment for rent in the heart of the city still have to commute to the La Défense business district daily.

Landmarks

Everyone knows what Paris is well-known for: the Eiffel Tower, the Moulin Rouge, Centre Pompidou, and other beautiful locations and attractions. Paris is colorful, that’s the word everyone is looking for. And the variety of colors you’ll see is so wide and beautiful that you’ll definitely want to find a house for rent in Paris to settle down and enjoy everyday life here. The streets of Paris are the prettiest in Europe, some say. Since the transportation system is really good and convenient, you’ll notice how easy it is to get around the city and get to all the entertainment venues in Paris.

Transportation

Paris Métro – that’s the famous subway system that takes care of those average daily worker commutes. It consists of 16 lines and more than 300 stations; impressive, right? But that’s not the only way you can get around Paris. The city government launched bus and tram networks to support the subway system and cover more parts of the city. Basically, the main idea is to make it possible for everyone to get where they need for a reasonable price. If you’re considering the suburban life in one of the closest Paris neighborhoods, you’ll be able to enjoy the special rail services. Even though the city officials are in charge of the transportation system, the local management and maintenance are performed by private companies, like in New York City.

Neighborhoods of Paris

Belleville

Paris residents, just like in any crowded capital of Europe, want to get away from the tourists and enjoy their everyday life quietly. However, it’s not that easy to find this kind of local gem, but if you’re in search of ‘something like Montmartre, but without the tourists’ — you’ve just found it. You’re looking at one of the most authentic quarters of Paris and one of the few areas that’s not popular among the tourists arriving to see the heart and soul of the city. Belleville is sometimes also referred to as the second Chinatown. It’s a bit smaller than the one among the Place d’Italy and Porte d’Ivry, but it’s rather good news for you. Rents here are ranked as one of the lowest in the Paris region. The area faced the gentrification as well as the closest regions, so it’s now a friendly district with working-class inhabitants. Politically, it’s shaped by left-wing Paris citizens.

Latin Quarter

This one is considered one of the best neighborhoods in the city, but this affects the rent prices here. This area is also called the student and intellectual center of Paris, there are lots of tourists strolling around the streets of the Latin Quarter, but it doesn’t matter when you rent a place here. Basically, if you get a place here — you’ll enjoy the most exciting parts of Paris life daily. Some can say that this part of the city is expensive; some will understand that it’s definitely worth it. It all depends on your lifestyle, but we suggest you giving a try and applying for the desired apartment for rent in the Latin Quarter, Paris.

La Chapelle

This neighborhood is trendy among immigrants and faces a very slow evolution. La Chapelle will not work for everyone: it’s exotic and full of the robust immigrant population. Young couples tend to like La Chapelle, and it’s bare facades. Enjoy Turkish, Pakistani and Sri Lankan cuisines in this neighborhood, walk the streets of La Chapelle and find an affordable house for rent to start your life in this region of beautiful Paris.

Montmartre

Let us describe you an average morning of the Montmartre neighborhood resident. He or she takes a walk through lovely Parisian streets to his or her favorite bakery to have a cup of coffee; French pastries enjoy the morning read. These streets only get crowded on weekends, so you’ll still enjoy the calmness of Montmartre life during weekdays. Doesn’t it sound like a perfect place to settle? Picasso, Renoir, and Monet once called Montmartre a home, why wouldn’t you?
