MORE INFO
Fontvieille is Monaco’s modern waterfront district, largely built on reclaimed land around a marina, residential towers, offices, parks, sports facilities, and the Stade Louis II complex. It feels calmer and more residential than Monte Carlo while retaining direct access to the principality’s financial, medical, retail, and transport systems. Internet, healthcare, public services, and personal safety are exceptional. The trade-offs are among the world’s highest housing costs, a tiny rental market, strict residence requirements, and a lifestyle designed for affluent professionals rather than ordinary nomads.
