Value my propertyThe boulevard, the Buffa market and the sea a few minutes away. Residential and full of shops at once.
In brief
The Gambetta quarter lies west of the centre, around the boulevard that gives it its name and runs down to the Promenade des Anglais. It is both residential and commercial, with many local shops, supermarkets and the Buffa market, founded in 1925.
The architecture is marked by the Belle Epoque, with buildings such as Palais Formitcheff and the Joseph Trelle mansion blocks, mixed with more recent stock.
The property market
Where you are within the quarter makes a real difference. The closer to the Promenade, the higher the prices; the further north, the more affordable the floor areas.
The boulevard itself is busy: flats on the street side do not hold value the way those onto a courtyard or in the quieter side streets do.
What you will find here
Belle Epoque buildings
Good proportions, high ceilings, sometimes long balconies onto the boulevard.
Two and three-bedroom family flats
The main demand here, driven by the shops and the schools.
One-bedroom flats
Well placed to let, minutes from the sea and the centre.
Nineteen-sixties stock
Often with a balcony and a garage, more affordable than the older buildings.
Living here
You are a few minutes on foot from the beaches and the Promenade des Anglais, and tramway line 2 links east and west without surfacing in the centre.
The quarter lives all year, with its markets and its shops. It is one of the parts of Nice where real neighbourhood life still exists close to the sea.
