Many newcomers looking for apartments to rent in Monaco are often unaware that there is more to the Principality than Monte-Carlo. It is wrongly assumed that Monte Carlo is the name given to the entire area of Monaco, and not just one of four districts (Monte Carlo, La Condamine, Monaco-Ville and Fontvieille). In each district you will find plenty of first-class luxury Monaco apartments to rent and buy, from penthouse residences in Fontvieille to studio apartments in Belle Epoque-style buildings in Monte Carlo.
The four districts of Monaco each enjoy their own particular characteristics. La Condamine is the area nearest Port Hercules, sandwiched between the Casino de Monte-Carlo and the Rock - Monaco's old town. Here you will find a large number of Monaco apartment rentals, as well as Monaco’s oldest commercial centre on Boulevard de Belgique. Overlooking la Condamine is Monaco-Ville, where the Prince’s Palace is located, as well as the Cathedral and government offices. Fontvieille is the newest district of Monaco, much of which has been built on reclaimed land from the sea. It is popular as a residential area with many residents choosing to live in the luxury Monaco real estate built around the Port de Fontvieille. Another hugely popular residential area for people looking to rent luxury apartments in Monaco is Monte Carlo.
