Investing in rental real estate in the 11th arrondissement of Paris means targeting one of the most vibrant, connected, and sought-after neighborhoods in Paris. Between République, Voltaire, Bastille, and Oberkampf, the 11th attracts a young, mobile, and demanding population willing to pay to live in the heart of Parisian life. The rental demand here is exceptionally strong, supported by a rich cultural fabric, a unique density of shops, and exceptional transport links. For an investor, it’s a territory where renting is quick, vacancy is low, and visibility is very solid.
Why invest in rental real estate in Paris 11?
A young, dynamic, and highly sought-after district
The 11th is one of the most densely populated and youngest districts in Paris. It mainly attracts young professionals, managers, freelancers, and students, who are drawn to the neighborhood life, bars, restaurants, and cultural activities. This sociological profile supports a very high rental demand, especially for studios and one-bedroom apartments located near public transport.
Daily life is a central argument: lively streets around Oberkampf, a friendly atmosphere around Voltaire, shopping areas in Charonne or Faidherbe. This accessibility to authentic urban life creates a market where rentals happen quickly and sustainably, with reliable and loyal tenants.
Prices still reasonable for a highly demanded sector
Real estate in the 11th district ranges from €9,300 to €11,800/m² depending on the neighborhoods. This price level, more accessible than the neighboring Marais or the 10th and 4th districts, enhances the attractiveness of the area for rental investment, especially considering the ongoing demand.
The micro-markets are contrasting: areas close to République or Faidherbe-Chaligny display the highest prices, while some zones around Nation or Parmentier remain slightly more accessible. These variations allow for strategy adjustments: targeting a highly demanded neighborhood to secure value, or betting on a developing sector to improve profitability.
A rental demand driven by young professionals and mobile profiles
The 11th is a highly sought-after district by young professionals working in the tertiary hubs of central or eastern Paris (République, Sentier, Bastille, Nation). Proximity to lines 1, 5, 8, and 9 ensures quick mobility, which strengthens the demand for small spaces. Renovated studios and one-bedroom apartments rent out in just a few days.
Family apartments also find tenants, but among a very specific audience: couples with young children looking for a lively atmosphere but a quiet home in the back courtyard. For rental investment, this fine segmentation allows one to adjust the type of property according to budget and objectives.
A district evolving thanks to its structuring urban hubs
The 11th benefits from a constantly improving urban fabric: requalification of République, dynamism of Bastille, renewed shops, new restaurants, pedestrianized spaces around Charonne or Faidherbe. These transformations enhance the attractiveness of the district and support the value of properties located on the calmest streets or near modernized axes.
The rising quality of certain sectors — particularly around Voltaire and Parmentier — has attracted a more affluent population, often more demanding in terms of housing quality. For an investor, this evolution creates a favorable context for renovated properties, well insulated, or better laid out.
In the 11th arrondissement, Beanstock identified a 14.3 m² studio with good potential for Timothée. After an efficient renovation, the investment now delivers strong performances: 4% net profitability and a return on invested capital of 7.9%!
The best neighborhoods in the 11th for a rental investment
Oberkampf – Parmentier: one of the most dynamic and sought-after areas of Paris
Oberkampf and Parmentier concentrate trendy restaurants, bars, cafés, and shops. It is one of the favorite neighborhoods for young professionals, attracted by the local vibrancy and proximity to lines 3, 5, and 9. Renovated studios and one-bedroom apartments are rented out extremely quickly, with one of the highest rental tensions in Paris.
Prices here are high but supported by strong demand. For a rental investment, it is an ideal sector to ensure quick leasing and stability of returns.
Voltaire – Charonne: lively atmosphere and strong rental attractiveness
Voltaire – Charonne offers a lively atmosphere but is more residential than the very central Oberkampf. The shops, cafés, and neighborhood life attract a young and dynamic population seeking an accessible and connected living environment. Small renovated units are rented out very quickly, particularly around the Charonne and Voltaire stations.
This neighborhood offers a good compromise: a sought-after atmosphere, solid demand, and prices slightly lower than Oberkampf. It is an interesting area for a first rental investment.
Bastille – Ledru-Rollin: centrality, prestige, and strong stability
Around Bastille and Ledru-Rollin, the rental market is extremely stable. Shops, transportation, and the immediate proximity of the Marais attract an upper-middle-class population looking for quality housing. Well-renovated one-bedroom apartments are particularly sought after, and tenants often stay there for several years.
Prices are higher here, but the rental security is very strong. For an investor, this sector is interesting for a wealth strategy based on stability and long-term value.
Nation – Rue des Boulets: a more accessible area, ideal for a first investment
The Nation – Rue des Boulets area is one of the most accessible in the 11th, benefiting from excellent transport links (lines 1, 2, 6, 9, and RER A). Rental demand here is very strong, driven by young professionals looking for a functional apartment near transportation.
Renovated studios and one-bedroom apartments can be rented out within days, with acquisition prices slightly more affordable than in central areas. For a first rental investment, it is a particularly coherent sector.
In the 11th arrondissement, Beanstock has selected a 18 m² studio with great potential for Émilie. After careful renovation, her investment now boasts a solid performance: a net yield of 4.1% and a return on invested capital of 8.4%!
What to remember about the 11th arrondissement
The 11th combines dynamism, attractiveness, and exceptional rental demand. Its young population, lively neighborhoods, multiple transports, and its old park enhanced by renovation make it an ideal area for structuring a solid rental investment. It is a district where renting is quick, vacancy is low, and visibility is lasting.
