A cultural, creative district that is highly sought after by young professionals

The 3rd attracts a young, international, creative population and CSP+: designers, executives, entrepreneurs, freelancers, and cultural professionals. These tenants favor the charm of Haut-Marais, its galleries, premium shops, cafes, and vibrant village atmosphere. Renovated studios and one-bedroom apartments find tenants within days, driven by a demanding and high-quality demand.

Neighborhood life is a central asset. Pedestrian streets, markets, cultural offerings, and shops create an environment where tenants seek a premium setting without being ostentatious. For an investor, this demographic ensures stable, solvent rental demand that values quality.

High prices but an extremely safe and valued market

Prices in the 3rd range from €12,500 to €17,500/m², with peaks in the most sought-after streets of Haut-Marais. These levels reflect structural rarity: few housing units, typical old co-ownerships of Marais, a strong proportion of owner-occupiers, and high image value.

Some micro-sectors, such as Arts-et-Métiers or certain streets close to République, do offer slightly more accessible levels, between €11,000 and €13,000/m². For an investor, these areas provide a coherent entry point into an usually elitist market. The appreciation here is slow but robust, supported by an attractiveness that significantly surpasses the Parisian framework.

A rental demand driven by premium profiles and high mobility

The 3rd attracts tenants with stable incomes and high demands: young executives, CSP+ couples, expatriates, and independent workers in the creative sector. These profiles primarily seek renovated, bright, well-designed properties that are close to shops and transport.

Small renovated spaces — studios, one-bedroom plus, two-bedroom apartments — rent quickly and ensure controlled turnover. More spacious family apartments also find their audience, although the demand is more selective. For an investor, the quality of the property is critical: in the 3rd, a modern and optimized apartment stands out immediately.

A very rare market that values quality and renovation

The 3rd is a tiny, very old district characterized by an extremely limited supply. The rarity of the housing stock reinforces market stability and fosters strong competition for quality properties. This structural rarity creates a market where the investor is not aiming for gross yield, but for patrimonial security and stability.

Renovated properties — insulation, optimization of the layout, updating — are particularly sought after. They are rented to a CSP+ audience that values comfort and aesthetics. Renovation is one of the major levers to optimize profitability and rental visibility in the 3rd.
