Terrace Apartment in Mont-Boron, Nice: Prices, Offers and Buying Advice

Why look for a terrace in Mont-Boron?

Mont-Boron is a residential hill between Nice and Villefranche-sur-Mer, backed by a forest park of about 57 hectares (Tripadvisor, SeeNice, accessed 3 October 2026). This protection limits new construction: open views over the bay are more lasting than elsewhere, and terrace apartments on high floors remain few. That explains the price level, higher than in any other neighbourhood of Nice.

Day to day, the neighbourhood is quiet, away from through traffic, with the forest and the coastal path close by (see living in Mont-Boron and beaches and the coastal path). In return, the hilly terrain makes a car or two-wheeler very useful: a garage or parking space is a real selection criterion.

Prices in Mont-Boron

The gaps between sources come from their methods: notaries measure completed sales, portals measure asking prices, and online estimates are algorithmic averages. For a property with a terrace, sea view and high floor, what matters is comparison with equivalent properties, not the neighbourhood average. Breakdown by neighbourhood: price per m² in Nice in 2026.

What offers are on the market?

Among the 3-room apartments seen in the area on the portals (SeLoger, Belles Demeures, Sotheby's International Realty, Douglas Elliman, 2025-2026 data), surfaces range from 79 to 93 m² and prices from €750,000 to €1,260,000, or roughly €9,500 to €15,100/m². The most expensive properties combine top floor, terrace and sea view.

These listings change constantly: they give an order of magnitude and are not a firm offer.

What sets two terraces apart

• The real size of the terrace: it is not included in the Carrez-law surface area and comes on top of the stated surface.
• The floor and the view: an open top floor over the bay cannot be compared with an intermediate floor that is overlooked.
• Parking: a space is worth about €38,000 in Nice according to Maison Masséna; a closed garage is an asset in Mont-Boron.
• Condition and energy rating: a fully renovated property avoids works; Le Vert Boron is rated DPE D, GES A.
• The residence: caretaker, security, condition of the lift, service charges (€259/month for Le Vert Boron).
