Roquebrune-Cap-Martin is not “an alternative to Monaco”.
It is a deliberate choice, made by buyers who know exactly what they are looking for.
In recent years, more and more clients have chosen Roquebrune not by default, but for its quality of life, long-term valueand sound investment logic. This trend is clearly continuing in 2026.
Let’s be clear.
📍 Why Roquebrune-Cap-Martin keeps attracting buyers
From my experience, there are three main reasons:
-
Immediate proximity to Monaco (not “nearby”, but right next to it)
-
Prices that remain reasonable compared to the Principality
-
A genuine year-round neighbourhood life
Many professionals working in Monaco look here for more space, light, terraces and parking. Roquebrune fits perfectly.
💰 Price per sqm: realistic expectations
Forget the unrealistic figures seen online. Today, the market is roughly:
-
Standard apartments: €7,500 – €9,500/sqm
-
Well-positioned sea view properties: €10,000 – €13,000/sqm
-
Rare properties / top floors / seafront: above €14,000/sqm
👉 Personal view: buying well in Roquebrune today preserves value over time, even without a booming market.
