Sablons, Pont de Neuilly, Bagatelle, Longchamp, île de la Jatte: the profile of each Neuilly-sur-Seine neighborhood and the rents to expect when renting there.
To rent in Neuilly-sur-Seine, five areas come up in almost every search: the Sablons, the town's shopping heart around the metro station of the same name; the Pont de Neuilly, the liveliest and best connected to both Paris and La Défense; Longchamp, with a village-like character; Bagatelle, on the edge of the Bois de Boulogne; and the île de la Jatte, set on the Seine between Neuilly and Levallois-Perret. The Château and Saint-James area completes the list for large family homes.
The commune has nearly 59,500 inhabitants according to the 2023 census published by INSEE. It is a city of tenants more than you might imagine: 41.9% of main residences are rented, and more than one home in three has only one or two rooms. The market is nonetheless one of the most expensive in Île-de-France outside Paris. The ANIL indicator published in December 2025 puts the asking rent of an apartment at about €34 per m² per month, including utilities.
Here is how the neighborhoods differ, what a home costs depending on its size and the rules to know before signing.
The town hall itself divides the city into neighborhoods for its on-the-ground visits: Sablons, Bagatelle, Longchamp, île de la Jatte, Saussaye, Perronet-Chézy, Borghèse-Victor Hugo, Dulud-Laffitte, Gouraud and Duc d'Orléans. Tenants tend to think in terms of larger areas, presented below.
Around the Les Sablons station, on metro line 1, are concentrated shops, the market and everyday services. The offer is varied there, from studios to large apartments, and demand is strong. It is the logical choice if you want to do everything on foot and reach central Paris without a car.
The Pont de Neuilly area is the most vibrant in the city, with its shops and restaurants. Its line 1 station puts it a few stops from La Défense on one side and the Champs-Élysées on the other. It mainly attracts professionals who work in one or the other of these hubs. The trade-off: traffic is heavy around the bridge.
Close to the Pont de Neuilly metro, Longchamp keeps the charm of an old neighborhood, with buildings of character and a residential atmosphere. Small floor areas are sought after there by professionals who want calm without moving away from the metro.
Bagatelle borders the Bois de Boulogne and the Bagatelle park. The area is calm and green, appreciated by families and by tenants who want green spaces at their doorstep. The metro is farther: check your bus route to line 1 before you decide.
This residential peninsula, shared with Levallois-Perret, mixes modern residences and views of the river. It offers a setting of its own, very calm, with walks along the water. Access is by bus or on foot over the bridges: it is a neighborhood for those who do not take the metro every day.
This upmarket residential area is calm and reputed to be safe. You find large family apartments and townhouses here. It is here, and along avenue Charles de Gaulle or on the edge of the Bois de Boulogne, that rents reach their highest levels.
The town hall neighborhood is residential, calm and green. Families choose it for its proximity to schools and municipal facilities.
According to the asking-rent indicator published by ANIL and the Ministry of Housing in December 2025, an apartment rents on average for €34.09 per m² per month including utilities in Neuilly-sur-Seine. Small floor areas are more expensive per square meter: €36.60 for a one- or two-room, against €33.62 for a three-room or larger. These averages are based on more than 10,000 listings observed in the commune.
In practice, count the following excluding utilities:
Neuilly-sur-Seine is not subject to the rent control in force in Paris: the rent for a first letting is free. However, the commune is in a high-demand zone, which limits the rent increase when a tenant changes. During the lease, the annual revision follows the rent reference index published by INSEE.
At signing, plan for the first rent and the security deposit. For an unfurnished home, this deposit cannot exceed one month's rent excluding utilities; for a furnished one, it can go up to two months. If you go through an agency, its letting fees are capped per square meter. For a 45 m² T2 rented through an agency, the entry budget is around €3,500 to €4,500.
Landlords generally ask for net income equal to three times the rent including utilities, and often a guarantor. Before viewings, prepare your ID, your last three payslips, your employment contract and your latest tax notice. Well-located homes go in a few days: a complete application makes the difference. Count four to eight weeks of active searching, more for a T3 or T4.
Also check the energy performance diagnostic: a home rated G can no longer be offered for rent since January 2025.
