The detached house is rare in Paris, where it only accounts for 2% of residential housing, ie. about 13,000 houses intra-muros. This rarity makes it one of the market’s most highly coveted segments, with prices easily exceeding several million euros. A real alternative to Haussmann apartments, a Parisian house appeals for its unique character, privacy, outdoor areas (garden, terrace, patio) and its living conditions of incomparable quality. It may take the form of a period pavilion, a villa of rare charm or a magnificent private mansion. Owning a house in Paris requires a substantial budget. It is rare to find a house below 1 million euros, even on the periphery of central arrondissements. Most frequently, houses sell from 2 to 5 million euros with outstanding properties exceeding 10 million. Prices vary widely depending on the location, the property’s condition, its surface area, the presence of a garden or outdoor area, and, of course, its architectural stylishness.
Workers’ houses are modest homes previously intended to accommodate workers’ families in an era of extensive urbanization and industrial growth. Small terraced houses, they often have one or two floors, occasionally with a small back garden. They are to be found in the neighbourhoods of Buttes aux Cailles, Montsouris, Santos Dumont, Petite Alsace, Petite Russie. The “bourgeois” house consists of an urban or suburban home built for the well-off middle class, reflecting a certain social status without attaining the luxury of a private mansion. A building that is often rectangular, on 2 or 3 floors, it has distinctive features such as a symmetric frontage, a slate roof, dormer windows, and wrought-iron balconies. “Houses designed by architects” means residences designed by recognized architects, testifying to modern architectural experiments in Paris, from Art Deco to the Modern Movement. With original layout, generous indoor volumes and lots of natural light, they are mainly to be found in quiet middle-class neighbourhoods conducive to experimentation, such as the 14th, 16th and 7th arrondissements.
The private mansion is the epitome of the Parisian house. A luxurious urban residence, it is designed to be inhabited by just one family and the servants. It stands out for its sophisticated architecture and spaciousness, often set “between a courtyard and garden”. Mainly to be found in the 16th arrondissement, historic neighbourhoods such as the Marais, Faubourg Saint-Germain, and around Place Vendôme, the finest private mansions in Paris can sell for several tens of millions of euros.
