Hi Dawn, I was watching a RUclips video just on Nice, but I ended up watching yours and boy am I glad I did. First of all, I realize we are using the same agent that got your apartment . I am moving to Nice in The first week of December of this year 2023 and I am sure that he will find me an apartment also. Second, I really enjoy your beautiful positive and real personality. I hope when I move there, we will have a chance to meet. For the meantime, I will continue watching your videos.
Hi Dawn, New subscriber here. I will be looking myself in 18 months. A couple questions: do you still recommend your realtor? Is that a rental in Place Massena? Do you still love the area?! How long did it take and was it very expensive to engage his services?
This was really interesting to watch! I spent some time in France travelling around a few years ago and I loved it I almost moved permanently and still think about doing so. Enjoy Nice! :) xxx
Wow! Great apartment & location😊. Just happened to see your post. We purchased an apartment right down the street Avenue Jean Medecin next to Zara. Looking forward seeing your post of your adventures. Keep up the good work.
Amazing location! Great apartment with high ceilings and lovely wood floors. Congratulations! I just stumbled on to your channel and look forward viewing your videos. Best wishes!
Hello Dawn, After spending almost 38 years in Fl., I finally decided to move back to the Mediterranean region..Nice to be precise. In my case, 'the culture shock' will be in reverse. I will be leaving all of the --as you put it-- b.s. behind and fiinally, enjoy life in its fullest the way it is supposed to be in France. I know in my heart there are like minded people out there, like yourself, I can observe and learn from before and after my final, le grand move:) Thank you for reading, thank you for your energy and most of all thank you for your sincerity.
So happy for you. Making the move to Nice next year. Hope you’ll share who your agent was. You are renting? Thanks for sharing your lively flat with us.
I'm binge watching your videos and came across this one. I LOVE LOVE LOVE your apartment!!! Location is exquisite, by the train, portable a/c, AND elevator! How much? I want one!
Hi Dawn! Love your videos. I’ve been living in France since January. Could you share with me how you found your real estate agent? I’m considering a relocation to another city in France and am wondering how you found a real estate agent. My first experience required a lot of dedication and persistence - yikes. If you have suggestions on how to find an agent without going to multiple agencies, I’d welcome any information you could share with me. Keep up the good work with the videos!
Bonjour, I just watched your video and see it's one year ago. Seems like a lovely apartment, area, and very convenient to everything... Can I ask how much your apartment costs, with rent and any utilities included, etc.? Do you have a washer dryer in the apartment? Thank you I hope your year has been wonderful ❣️ I just saw where you bought an island to have more cooking baking room. I am a Chef ~ I was more worried about that little teeny sink😂
Thank you! I am a retired American educator. We helped a new school open in Lviv, then spent 6 weeks in Ktakow; we're in Tallinn for a month before heading back to Oregon. My wife and I hope to visit France after the Olympics. We plan to sell our Portland condo, invest in CDs, and then move to France. We will rent so we can travel in Europe. There are several significant advantages to living in France: climate, healthcare, culture, and infrastructure. Thanks again! Dean and Cindy.
Dawn: Please reconsider sharing what your rent is with us. There are tons of videos showing apt's in Nice, but think about it, if you can't afford it, what's the point in watching? Money is EVERYTHING when it comes to moving. I'm just not going to watch a video of something I can't afford. And people who list prices are ALWAYS appreciated in the RUclips community because that TRULY helps us budget and not have to call a realtor in France just to find out a price. Thanks, and a fabulous dinner is on me when I get there! 😉
Hi Dawn, I’ve done considerable research and consultations on Portugal. Since the country announced the end of the NHR ( Non Habitual Residency) tax regime program beginning in 2024, I’ve reconsidered. I understand the tax treaty with the US, but there were other reasons as well for the change. My daughter and her family are are also in favor of France. I missed the company you used, would you please provide again. Thank you. I’m so pleased I found your channel. Happy New Year!
It's so nice! I love the paneled walls. I'm in Malta and was wondering about Nice. Do apartments there have heat? Are any of them unfurnished? Anything you can tell me will be appreciated.
Most apartments do have heat and yes, you have the option of unfurnished apartments. The rents for those will actually be less than the furnished apartments. My apartment happens to be very modernly renovated, which is not typical of the furnished apartments here in France. I was just very fortunate that these owners had a modern view in renovating their apartment.
What a great apartment! I have a place in Nice, not far from you. I have probably passed you on the street since I go through Place Massena multiple times each day when I am in Nice! But I spend only a few months there each year. Because of French inheritance laws, I do not want to become a resident. Just started watching your videos, so I have some catching up to do!
I love my apartment and plan to stay for a very long time. The noise is not bad at all and the little I hear with some major events is still not bad and worth it.
@@DelightsbyDawn Glad you still love it. Our home is so important. I'm hoping to move to France in the next year or so and am torn between living Paris or the French Riviera. I would love to hear your thoughts, advice on that.
What a wonderful apartment! Congrats! Do they happen to have 2 or 3 bedrooms in your building? We have accommodations in 2025 until the end of December and will be looking for an apartment as of Jan 2026. So nervous that we won’t have an apartment :).
You will need to get an agent to see if there are apts avail. This building is mostly Airbnbs but I don't really know what is avail for renting. I was very lucky and came at the right time.
It works a little differently over here. You should contact the agent that I used fabricio at French Riviera house hunting if you are seriously interested in looking for a house or an apartment to buy or rent.
I just found this video so excuse me if these questions have already been answered. Are you from NY? (Me too) Are you able to live in France bc you are a student? I'm considering moving to France but I need to earn an income sill. Are you Fluent in French language? How much is the apartment?
Lots of questions! You can get over here on a student VISA and other VISAS too. You can only work on a Student VISA max 20 hrs per week. I would suggest finding a remote job earning US money or have your own remote business. I am not fluent but I am in school learning and suggest everyone learns the language of the country they are planning on moving to. I will not reveal my personal information as far as the apartment. If you would like to get an idea of apartment prices here is a website in France for apartments called morning croissant. Good luck!
Sorry. I already actually shared my entire apartment so I'm not going to share what my rent is. Some things I have to keep personal and private. Hope you understand.
Sorry for the delay. I know have a cost of living video you can check out. Prices will vary based on many factors. I was very fortunate to find this particular apartment in the location and renovated in such a modern way. Please do not think that this is standard for apts b y any means.
I like your video and your spirit, may I know what the name of those great agency who you working with, I'm still in US, but planning to move in Nice in the middle - end of June, Thank you
French riviera house hunting. Ask for Fabricio. He can actually start the process before you actually get here virtually as that a peak time and may take a little longer to find an apartment so I suggest starting early.
@@DelightsbyDawn Thank you very much for your answer, I wish you good luck in everything that you have in mind, let France become your home, who knows, maybe we will meet😊
Al we aya disappointing when someone does t share how much we wiuld be looking at to rent. You don't have to give us the exact amount but a range would be nice. Even worse when somebody asks the question which I see in the comments and that question was ignored and for that reason I have no interest in subscribing or watching any of these videos. Bonne chance
These are my videos, and I give the information that I want to give about my life. I owe you nothing. It's very entitled of you to come on my channel and be upset because I do not give a cost of what I am paying for my apartment.People these days have so much nerve about people and what they post and choose to post on their own social media channel. Thank you for unsubscribing.
Good heavens, I certainly didn't mean to upset you. I just asked the question and I said you didn't have to give me an exact answer. You could have given me an area of the price. You're living what many of us can only dream of and we try to live through you. Somebody else had asked the question as well but you ignored them. You do what you want to do because you can do what you want to do now who's entitled... Au revoir American lady
@@glennmartin346She's right. People (on the internet) are certainly entitled and rude as hell these days. It has nothing to do with her being American either. She's not a realtor so she doesn't owe anybody any information she doesn't want to share about her private residence. This video was more than enough and more than I would have shared with the internet vultures.
@@DelightsbyDawn My niece has just come back from a short holiday in Nice , as I live in the south west of France and I go to the markets here she took some photos of a market there for me, for example everything was nearly double the price clementines 6€ le kilo against 2€99 here ., that is just a small example , but ordinary working people cannot afford that, as you said it’s not expensive for everyone , maybe not for you.

Great fabricio is wonderful. I love him! And yes, once you're here, we can definitely meet for a coffee.
Hi Andy, just loved Dawn's flat.Would you be able to share agent's contact email. Thanks,
I absolutely love it! Such a perfect space in a perfect place! Great location plus phenomenal view - I mean what else could you asked for?!
I know! I was so lucky on this find! Their carnival starts in a couple weeks and I can just sit on my balcony and watch it!

LOVE this apartment 💛 Congratulations!!!

So happy for you. Making the move to Nice next year. Hope you’ll share who your agent was. You are renting? Thanks for sharing your lively flat with us.

Congratulations on your beautiful well-appointed apartment!🙂
Thank you!
Congratulations on your new apartment it looks awesome! 😂🎉
Thank you! It really is. I couldn't be happier and I was very lucky!
Beautiful, Dawn!
Thank you! 😊
Bonjour, I just watched your video and see it's one year ago. Seems like a lovely apartment, area, and very convenient to everything... Can I ask how much your apartment costs, with rent and any utilities included, etc.? Do you have a washer dryer in the apartment? Thank you I hope your year has been wonderful ❣️ I just saw where you bought an island to have more cooking baking room. I am a Chef ~ I was more worried about that little teeny sink😂
Sorry, not revealing my personal information. I think sharing my apartment is revealing enough. Thank you for watching.
No worries just trying to calculate cost and what's more common.
I believe I have a video on this channel that discusses the cost of living here and gives figures.
I’m so happy for you ❤
Thank you so much!!!
Awesome!! I'm so excited for you.

Wonderful apartment!! Watching your live on Wednesday afternoon!!
Absolutely love this!!!!
Wow the place is nice. Congratulations

Please do more videos like this. Plan on moving there next year
I absolutely will! Thank you for subscribing.
What a lovely place. Enjoy living in France! ❤❤❤
Thank you, I will
Beautiful 😍😍 I will be looking for an apartment in a few months in Nice. Wish me luck! LOL

Thats my personal business. I have a cost of living video that gives ranges of prices for apartments.
Beautiful and great location
I love your place! You are perfectly located to everywhere. I’ve recently changed my plans to move to Nice in 2025 instead of Portugal.
Portugal is great too. We you finally need a agent use the company I did. They are so great and speak English well too.
Hi Dawn, I’ve done considerable research and consultations on Portugal.

Have you met with a French financial and estate planner for ExPats? I hear there are ways to minimize the French inheritance tax.
What an amazing place, very happy for you. Plan to be there in 2025.
Hi congratulations. Nice place. Can you say at this point if you still like the apartment, location, etc.? Is it quiet enough to sleep at night?

It works a little differently over here. You should contact the agent that I used fabricio at French Riviera house hunting if you are seriously interested in looking for a house or an apartment to buy or rent.
P.S. how did you pick Nice over other locations?
Research, visiting more than once and the vibe it gave me!

So lovely
How much it cost each month ?
Check out my recent video on COST of living to get a general breakdown of prices.
Can you share your agent’s information please.
Congrats. What a dream come true... Where are you from in the US?
Thank you, Atlanta.
Félicitations on your new home in Nice.
😂TOO MUCH STUFF, I gotta tell you!
Hello, if my wife and I were looking for something similar to this size/location, what price range are we looking at?
