The Alps are located in the southeast part of France and are situated in two administrative regions of the country. These mountains are located primarily in the eastern part of the Rhone-Alpes region with and stretch into the northeast part of the Provence-Alpes-Cote d’Azur region. The mountains come nearly to the edge of the Mediterranean Sea, so some areas that might actually be in the mountains are often considered to be part of the coastal region.

There is a wide variety of housing in the region and priced for all budgets and needs. There are numerous apartments for those who want a reasonably priced vacation spot, and these are available in existing buildings as well as new developments going up. Leasebacks are becoming a popular option for those who want to spend some time here, and have the apartment rented out the rest of the year. For those who are looking for more, there are plenty of townhomes, chalets, and houses in the region as well. These are in the cities and towns, as well as out in the country, so it is easy to find the perfect home for vacationing and working in this area.
