Le Riva Bella in brief
The address
249 promenade des Anglais is in Fabron, towards the western end of the Promenade: the airport five minutes away, the city centre a quarter of an hour by car or bus along the seafront, the beach opposite, the hills of Fabron behind. This is the Promenade of residents and regulars, quieter than the centre, where you live with a car.
A 1960s co-ownership
The national register of co-ownerships lists 107 lots and a construction date in the 1961–1974 period, part of the wave of seafront buildings that built this stretch of the Promenade — L’Isola Bella in 1961, Le Palais Ascot around 1963. We have no reliable public source on the architect; we do not invent one.
What you are buying here
A three-room apartment of 83 to 86 m² facing the sea, with a balcony and a cellar or parking space, in a building where this type of lot comes up for sale regularly. Buyers are after a seaside second home or a main home that wants the Promenade without the price of the centre. The studios, fewer in number, are bought by investors.
What sort of apartment will you find at Le Riva Bella?
Sales published since 2022 range from a 23 m² studio to an 86 m² three-room apartment, half of them three-room apartments of 83 to 86 m² — six sales out of twelve, all sold with an ancillary lot. Ten sales out of twelve include a cellar or a parking space.
What sets the price: the floor and the view, head-on over the bay from the upper floors, the balcony, condition and the quality of any renovation, and whether a parking space is part of the sale.
The most recent published sales at Le Riva Bella
Here are the three most recent sales published for this address in the official property transaction database.
- April 2026 — €810,000, 86 m², 3 main rooms, 1 ancillary lot sold with it, i.e. €9,463/m².
- February 2025 — €600,000, 86 m², 3 main rooms, 1 ancillary lot sold with it, i.e. €6,997/m².
- July 2024 — €530,000, 85 m², 3 main rooms, 1 ancillary lot sold with it, i.e. €6,239/m².
These figures come from the French public property transaction database (Demandes de valeurs foncières, published by the tax authority), which is fed by notarial deeds and released several months in arrears. The amount shown is the price stated in the deed, before notary fees and transfer duties: depending on whether the agency’s commission was payable by the seller or the buyer, it may or may not be included.
They tell you nothing about the floor, the aspect, the view, the condition of the property or the quality of any renovation. The price also covers the whole transaction: where a garage, a cellar or a maid’s room was sold with the apartment, the price per square metre shown is mechanically inflated — which is why we state the number of ancillary lots. We exclude transactions whose price per square metre falls plainly outside the market (dismemberment of ownership, sales between related parties).
Two apartments of identical size in the same building can change hands at very different prices. These sales give an order of magnitude; they are not a valuation. To find out what a specific property is worth, ask us for a valuation.
What sets the price of an apartment at Le Riva Bella
Le Riva Bella trades within a readable range: across the twelve sales published since 2022, prices per square metre run from around €4,800 to €10,200, with a median around €7,000/m². The three-room apartments of 83 to 86 m² sold between €477,000 and €810,000 — €5,600 to €9,500/m² depending on floor and condition — and the studios of 23 to 26 m² between €130,000 and €245,000.
For a seller, the consistency of sales is an advantage: buyers know what a three-room apartment at Le Riva Bella is worth, and a renovated upper-floor lot stands out clearly. For a buyer, it is one of the buildings on the Promenade where you can compare before buying.

Frequently asked questions about Le Riva Bella
Is noise an issue at 249 promenade des Anglais?
Traffic on the Promenade is present, as everywhere on the seafront, and the airport is close — the approach paths run over the sea. Upper-floor apartments with recent glazing are quiet. We tell you before the viewing.
Is there any parking?
Some of the lots are parking spaces and cellars: nine published sales out of eleven include an ancillary lot. Each sale, however, covers specific lots; we check the title and state clearly what is included in the price.
Are the service charges high?
A co-ownership of 107 lots with lifts and façades exposed to sea spray has real charges, spread across enough lots to remain reasonable. We give you the last three financial years and the status of voted works before any decision.
What is my apartment at Le Riva Bella worth?
Comparables are numerous and homogeneous in size, which makes the valuation reliable. We carry out a complimentary and confidential valuation, on site, based on the sales actually recorded in the building and on what sets your lot apart: floor, view, balcony, condition.
