The South of France offers everything American investors seek:

• A stable real estate market with long-term growth potential
• Luxury villas and apartments with sea views and strong rental yields
• Cultural and lifestyle appeal — gastronomy, art, and year-round sunshine
• Easy access to international airports (Nice, Cannes, Monaco, Toulon)

Cities like Cannes, Antibes, Saint-Tropez, and Monaco attract U.S. clients looking for second homes or high-value investments that hold their worth over time.

Americans can purchase property in France. However, the process differs slightly from the U.S. market. It requires the assistance of a notary (notaire), who ensures legal compliance and handles the transaction securely. Working with a local real estate expert is essential to navigate French legal, tax, and administrative requirements with ease — especially when you’re investing from abroad.

Buying property on the French Riviera as an American starts with defining your goals — whether a holiday home, retirement villa, or rental investment — to focus your search and budget. Working with a trusted agency ensures access to the best villas, sea-view apartments, and investment properties. From curated property visits to handling negotiations, French legal procedures, and the final signing with a notary, CapDom guide you every step of the way.

Investing in French Riviera real estate offers both lifestyle and financial advantages:

• Strong demand for seasonal rentals and high yields during summer
• Long-term property value appreciation in exclusive areas
• A stable and transparent market
• Access to EU residency advantages through property ownership
  

Buying property in France as an American may seem complex, but with the right partner, it becomes a seamless and exciting experience.
