Reims: neighborhoods for a rental investment
Do you want to make your first or new purchase in the city of Reims? It is without a doubt an excellent choice. Many neighborhoods are pleasant to live in in Reims. Each has its own ambiance and advantages. The Croix-Rouge (priority district) and Saint-Remi districts are good choices for a rental investment. When you visit them, you will notice two major assets: their proximity to the city center and their peaceful side. The prices are still very accessible there. In fact, the rents are lower there. It is an area which therefore attracts students but also young households with modest incomes.
These two neighborhoods are green and well served by public transport. So these are definitely places to consider if you want to put your apartment or your rental house. Other neighborhoods have similar advantages and are sought after by young families. In particular, the Clemenceau district, which is residential and particularly popular with couples with children.

Very beautiful old houses are sometimes available in this very pleasant district of the city of Reims. Obviously, this district is not the most affordable, but it is still a good investment.
If you are looking for a more peaceful living environment, head to more remote areas such as the Moissons district.

A new district has emerged in recent years, it is the Clairmarais – Charles Arnould district. In terms of real estate, you can find both new projects and renovation projects for old buildings. Active people often set their sights there, because it is also the business district. Many of them therefore have their offices there. This practical side is really appreciated. In addition, living in this district makes it possible to be located near the station, which makes it easier to get around on weekends and during holidays.
