An article that explains the monthly expenses of a high-end apartment in Paris
Many clients often ask us about the cost of owning an apartment in Paris. Roughly speaking, there are four major expenses for holding an apartment: the expenses required for the operation of the apartment itself (property sharing costs, electricity and Internet fees, insurance, cleaning and maintenance costs for the interior of the apartment), major construction costs of the building, and taxes (land tax, residence tax, property wealth tax), and some other expenses (apartment rental management fee, butler service fee).
Today, we will take a high-end apartment of 100 square meters and a value of 2 million euros in the Saint-Germain district of the Left Bank as an example to explain in detail what the daily maintenance of the apartment will cost (do not confuse it with the cost of buying an apartment Oh).

Set on the "étage noble" of a stone building dating from 1890, this apartment preserves, almost intact, the finest hallmarks of Paris's golden age of architecture: exceptional moldings, coffered ceilings, period parquet flooring, marble floors, both a marble fireplace and a wood-burning one, finely crafted mirrored overdoor panels (trumeaux), and ceiling heights reaching 4 meters — a scale and level of detail rarely found on the market today.
The corner-facing main living room, with its immense floor-to-ceiling windows, brings both light and volume into the space, lending the whole apartment a sense of ease and grandeur. Spanning 222 sqm in total, the layout comprises an entrance hall, a living room, a kitchen, a dining room, and four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and two separate toilets — generously proportioned, yet retaining an intimate scale.
All period features have been carefully preserved, giving this apartment a rare and distinctive character. A property of this kind seldom comes to market, making this a rare opportunity. A cellar and a parking space are available for purchase separately, and the building offers a full-time concierge.
The property is located in the Paris 7th arrondissement, moments from the Champ de Mars and the Eiffel Tower, with bus access, city center amenities, shops, metro, a park, public parking, a supermarket, and taxi access nearby — one of the most prestigious residential addresses in Paris.
