How do I find a place to live in Antibes?

We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:

"Finding a place to live in Antibes, involves several steps. First, you need to determine your budget and the type of accommodation you're looking for. This could range from a small apartment to a large villa, depending on your needs and financial capabilities. Next, you should research the different neighborhoods in Antibes to find one that suits your lifestyle and preferences. Some popular areas include the Old Town, Cap d'Antibes, and Juan-les-Pins. Each has its own unique charm and amenities. Once you have a clear idea of what you're looking for, you can start your search. There are several online platforms that list properties for rent or sale in Antibes. Websites like Rightmove, French-Property.com, and Home Hunts have extensive listings and can be a good starting point. You can also consider hiring a real estate agent who specializes in the Antibes area. They can help you navigate the local property market, arrange viewings, and handle negotiations with sellers or landlords. When you find a property you're interested in, make sure to visit it in person before making any commitments. Check the condition of the property, the amenities, and the neighborhood. If you're planning to rent, you'll likely need to provide proof of income, references, and possibly a guarantor. If you're buying, you'll need to secure financing, make an offer, and go through the legal process of purchasing property in France. Finally, once you've secured your new home, you'll need to set up utilities and services like electricity, water, and internet. This can usually be done by contacting the relevant companies and setting up an account. Remember, moving to a new place can be a complex process, so it's important to be patient and thorough in your search," remarked one member in Antibes.
