Despite offering some of the most expensive real estate in the world – on average, property in the Principality of Monaco is priced between €32,000 and €60,000 per square metre – interest in this slice of Mediterranean paradise has never wavered.  Its global appeal attracts investors from all over the world.  The abundant palatial and extravagant homes are nothing short of extraordinary, and once the High Life in Monaco has cast its spellbinding grip over you, chances are you will be joining the extensive list of those whom desire to permanently reside in the second smallest country in the world.
 
La Costa Properties Monaco has an insider’s view to the market and their wide and varied selection of Monaco properties will entice and capture your imagination.  During a visit to Monaco, the Luxury Travel Guide joined La Costa to discover how to turn that dream into a reality.
 
Choosing Your Neighbourhood
 
Monaco is traditionally divided into four quarters with each region offering its own distinct attraction and its own unique atmosphere.  Monaco-Ville is the old town of Monaco and is known as ‘The Rock’ due to its position on a rocky headland that extends into the picturesque Mediterranean Sea.  Monte Carlo is situated in the heart of the action with the Casino and Metropole Shopping Centre activities ensuring attention stays firmly on the prestigious ‘Golden Square’.  La Condamine is known for its wide harbour and snaking roads that make up part of the Formula 1 circuit.  Fontvieille, the fourth and newest quarter, also boasts a picturesque harbour along with a prominent business sector.  As a general rule, the closer to the centre you are the more lucrative the property will be.
 
Exclusive Apartment in the Golden Square

The Golden Square is without doubt the most prestigious address in all of Monaco so an article on real estate simply would not be complete without it.  As a result, we visited a spacious 250 square metre apartment on Avenue de la Costa, just steps away from the grand hotels and casino gardens.
 
This exceptional apartment has been beautifully refurbished in a modern style and comprises two bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and dressing-room, a living-dining room, a TV/guest room and a fully fitted kitchen with a balcony.  All rooms open onto the large terrace enjoying spectacular views from the tenth floor overlooking the Casino gardens, the harbour and sea, the Rock and the city.  This exclusive and luxurious Monaco residence also boasts 24 hour security service, fitness area and swimming pool.
 
Properties on the Golden Square are like gold dust, and do not tend to stay on the market for a long period of time.  La Costa Properties currently boast a number of properties available in the Golden Square, ranging from a Spacious Studio up to a beautiful three-room apartment.
 
34-35^th Floor Penthouse
Our favourite property was a lavish 375 square metre modern duplex penthouse on the 34^th and 35^th floors of an elegant apartment block.  It is situated near the centre of town and in close proximity to Larvotto beach so you will never be far away from the action. 
 
Its stunning location also means this seven room apartment is afforded one of the most spectacular views over the whole of Monaco from the front of the property.  One would never tire of waking up each morning to sit next to the contra flow swimming pool to eat breakfast on the terrace whilst watching the yachts come and go into the harbour below.  From the back of the property, the kitchen and the smaller guest room enjoy a consolation view which happens to be an equally incredible landscape of the Monaco hillside.
 
Designed by a renowned architect, the all-white interior keeps the contemporary style minimalistic with hints of futurism.  It also allows the open space and stunning backdrop beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows to breathe in the same way that the all-white interior of an art gallery does not get in the way of the art on display.  The property has been newly refurbished to include all of the latest high tech equipment such as home automation, variable concealing electric shutters and a large fully-fitted kitchen.
