Ask someone who really knows the Principality, and they will mention Moneghetti. Set on the heights, on the western border with Beausoleil, this quiet, green residential district offers something rare here: space, light and good value for money.<\/p>\n\n<p>Its name half says it. Moneghetti, \u201clittle Monaco\u201d, is a more intimate Monaco, away from the bustle, chosen by people who know what they are looking for. Here is what makes it a secret that is less and less well kept, and what to know to buy in the right spot.<\/p>\n\n<h2>A residential Monaco on the heights<\/h2>\n\n<p>Moneghetti rises in tiers up the slopes toward the French border. This topography shapes its whole personality, and it has a very concrete consequence for property: the higher you go, the wider the view over the Principality and the sea. To move between levels easily, the district is linked to <a href=\"https:\/\/continentale.mc\/en\/la-condamine-authentic-monaco-at-the-foot-of-the-rock\/\">La Condamine<\/a> below by a network of free public lifts and stairways, a detail that changes daily life in such a vertical city.<\/p>\n\n<p>As for the buildings, forget the clich\u00e9 of soulless towers. Moneghetti stands out for its Belle \u00c9poque villas, with their loggias and colored ceramic facades, alongside more recent quality residences. You will find some of Monaco\u2019s rare villas here, in a green and peaceful setting. Parc Princesse Antoinette, with its century-old olive trees and play areas, is its green heart.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Not to be confused with Jardin Exotique<\/h2>\n\n<p>A useful clarification, because the confusion comes up often. Moneghetti borders <a href=\"https:\/\/continentale.mc\/en\/exotic-garden-best-value-for-money-in-monaco\/\">the Jardin Exotique district<\/a>, and is even reached by the boulevard of the same name. But they are two separate areas: the famous garden and its viewpoint belong to the neighboring administrative district. Moneghetti is above all residential. The proximity remains an advantage, as residents enjoy the green setting and the views without the crowds.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Very good value for money in Monaco, with figures to back it<\/h2>\n\n<p>In 2025, the average price per square meter in Moneghetti stands at \u20ac43,797 according to IMSEE. It is the most accessible district in the Principality: nearly a quarter below the Monaco average (\u20ac57,569), 19% less than <a href=\"https:\/\/continentale.mc\/en\/monte-carlo-much-more-than-just-a-name-on-a-map\/\">Monte-Carlo<\/a>, and 38% less than <a href=\"https:\/\/continentale.mc\/en\/larvotto-vs-fontvieille-two-lifestyles-two-approaches\/\">Larvotto<\/a>, which exceeds \u20ac71,000 per square meter, again according to IMSEE.<\/p>\n\n<p>In practical terms, for the same budget, Moneghetti often gives access to more space, an open view or a terrace, where other districts would require a compromise. For a family looking for a family apartment, or for anyone who puts volume and calm ahead of a prestige address, the equation is very hard to beat. This is precisely the calculation informed buyers make, and it explains why good properties there find buyers quickly.<\/p>\n\n<h2>A district that is renewing itself<\/h2>\n\n<p>Discreet does not mean frozen. The district is seeing new high-end developments, such as Villa Lucia, near the Sainte-D\u00e9vote bridge, designed by architect Alexandre Giraldi: a slender, elegant building with a handful of residences, one apartment per floor, with a wellness area and services. A reminder that Moneghetti also attracts new builds without losing any of its calm.

It also attracts informed buyers who pay attention to the balance between price and quality of life. Moneghetti is chosen less for the address than for the life you actually lead there.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n\n<h3>Why is Moneghetti considered one of the best values for money in Monaco?<\/h3>\n<p>Because at \u20ac43,797 per square meter in 2025 (IMSEE), it is the most accessible district in the Principality: nearly a quarter below the average, and 38% less than Larvotto, in a calm and green setting.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Does the height of the apartment matter in Moneghetti?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, a great deal. Because the district is on a slope, the higher the floor and the elevation, the wider the view over the sea and the Principality. It is a decisive value criterion.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Are Moneghetti and Jardin Exotique the same district?<\/h3>\n<p>No. They are two neighboring, separate areas.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Who is a purchase in Moneghetti suited to?<\/h3>\n<p>Families and residents looking for space and quiet, and those who put surface area and view ahead of a prestige address.<\/p>\n\n<h2>At Agence Continentale, we know the heights of Monaco<\/h2>\n\n<p>Since 1948, Agence Continentale has been helping people who choose Monaco.
