Value my propertyThe wooded hill closing the port to the east, its villas and its view over the bay.
In brief
Mont Boron is the hill that closes the port of Nice to the east. It is a residential and discreet address, made up of fine villas and gated developments, looking over the Baie des Anges on one side and the bay of Villefranche on the other.
The forest covers fifty-seven hectares and eleven kilometres of paths, planted with Aleppo pines, carob and olive trees since the second half of the nineteenth century. It is the great open space of the city.
The property market
The view is the first criterion, and not all views are equal: a view straight onto the bay of Villefranche, a view over the port and a side view over the Baie des Anges do not sell in the same way.
Then come access and parking. The hill roads are narrow, and a property without a garage or a private space sells markedly less well than an equivalent that has one.
What you will find here
Villas with gardens
The signature property of the hill, with a pool and a sea view for the finest.
Gated developments
Flats in closed grounds, often with a pool, a caretaker and parking.
Properties to renovate
Villas from the nineteen-sixties and seventies, with real potential and works budgets to match.
Large flats with terraces
Sought by those who want the view without the upkeep of a house.
Living here
There is no tramway on the hill. Buses serve it and a car is essential, but the port and the old town are minutes away going down.
The forest, its paths and the beaches of Coco Beach are immediately at hand. This is where you are quietest in Nice without leaving the city.
