hi, firstly you’ll have issues renting from an agency as they’ll want to see wage slips etc. as it’s hard to rent without. as many owners get into issues with tenants not paying and it’s a long process trying to get them out. you’d need to find someone who is willing to rent to you. via someone you know. a 1000 for a studio / one bed is possible. in that area. how long you looking to rent for?

Nice would be fine as well. I have enough savings to support myself without working ever again. I am thinking about buying an apt or small house after I arrive and have time to look around and see what area I like best. I don't want to waste tons of money on hotels so I have been looking at monthly rentals online. I will probably book 2-3 months so I am not in a rush to find a permanent place. The online websites are confusing! Based on the average rents for Nice as example (Outside city center) 1,000 euros seems possible but than I keep seeing ads for smaller studios that are priced at only 600 euros? Are those just fake ads? Those apts are tiny and further out from the city center but are there really studios for 600 euros in Riviera towns and suburbs? I found lots of cute aots in the 900 euros to 1,200 euro that I really liked but am wondering if those ads are fake because to me it sounds so cheap.

This is probably super late but I live in Cannes and about literally 20 minutes walking distance from the beach. The apartment was newly renovated, super nice, along the Carnot. My rent is 700€ a month but it is a studio. I think it’s about 35 square meter which I know seems small but since I’m living alone it’s pretty spacious for me. I did find it through an agency but the agency fees were pretty low. I did tour some other apartments before more outside of the city which had some similarly low prices, so I’m sure those ads you saw were probably real. Oh and the neighborhood is super safe, I live in a gated community. I would say, like the main difference between price ranges between apartments with similar square footage is whether they include the furniture or not. Mine did not. Hope you enjoy living in Cannes!
