Investigating retirement in Nice

[KEITHWCOOLEY]

My wife and I are planning for a retirement in Nice. Which of the neighborhoods in the city ... not close to the tourist area but still walkable would be a good place to look for a long-term rental? We are considering a budget for the rental of $1750 - $2000 per month for a 2 bedroom (and hopefully 2 bath).

Hi Keith,
That is a good budget for a long-term rental in Nice so you will have a lot of options. In the center, you could look around the Gambetta neighborhood, or near the Beaux-Arts museum. Try the Le Bon Coin website to get an idea of rental prices. Real estate expert Adrian Leeds is based in Nice and has great tips for the city on her website.
