La Rousse - Saint Roman - Miells

LA ROUSSE – SAINT ROMAN

At the eastern end of the Principality of Monaco, La Rousse – Saint Roman reveals a unique character where modernity and quality of life blend together harmoniously. Overlooking the Mediterranean, this district is strategically located between the Larvotto beaches and the vibrancy of Monte-Carlo, attracting people with its balance of urban liveliness and residential tranquility.

A discreet yet remarkable evolution

Unlike historic districts such as Monte-Carlo or the Carré d’Or, La Rousse – Saint Roman developed gradually, shaping its identity over time. Its prime position on the Franco-Monegasque border makes it a natural gateway to Roquebrune-Cap-Martin and nearby towns.

In the 1960s, this area—still sparsely built at the time—was transformed with the arrival of Monaco’s first skyscrapers, heralding a new era for the Principality. This growth continued in a harmonious way, preserving green spaces between buildings for residents to enjoy.

An incomparable quality of life

Right from the start, La Rousse – Saint Roman stands out as a primarily residential district, prized for its tranquility, green spaces, and local shops.

Everyday life in this part of the Principality revolves around facilities designed to make residents’ daily routines easier. In terms of education, the district features École Saint-Charles, known for its high-quality teaching and popular with both local and international families. Regarding healthcare, several private medical practices (pediatrics, cardiology, dentistry, etc.) line the Boulevard d’Italie, providing convenient care for residents.

The neighborhood also offers a wide range of boutiques specializing in fashion, home décor, and gastronomy, not to mention a large supermarket — highly regarded for its selection of premium products. Finally, numerous Italian restaurants and cafés dot the streets of La Rousse – Saint Roman, contributing to the warm, friendly atmosphere for which this area is renowned.

Just steps away, on the other side of Boulevard d’Italie, lies the Larvotto district with its recently refurbished beaches. Residents therefore enjoy privileged access to this refined seaside area, its high-quality restaurants, and top-tier beach establishments—an undeniable advantage that further enhances this district’s exceptional appeal.

A real estate market of excellence

The La Rousse – Saint Roman district embodies Monaco’s architectural boldness, epitomized by the Odeon Tower soaring to 170 meters. This technical feat redefines luxury standards with its exceptional apartments and 24/7 personalized services. Its Sky Penthouse, the tower’s crown jewel, spans several floors and features a stunning infinity pool overlooking the Mediterranean.

The real estate landscape is further enriched by other prestigious developments such as Parc Saint Roman, l’Annonciade, and Château Périgord. These high-end residences stand out for their premium features: enhanced security with cutting-edge video surveillance, valet parking, and panoramic sea views. Architects have paid particular attention to environmental integration, adding hanging gardens and green terraces that soften contemporary lines while contributing to urban biodiversity.

The presence of the French Embassy within the Roc Fleuri building underscores this neighborhood’s prestige, attracting a demanding international clientele. The district’s ecological commitment is evident in new constructions equipped with smart management systems, solar panels, and vertical gardens, making this area one of the most sought-after addresses in the Principality.

Mobility and connectivity

The district boasts excellent transport links. Monaco’s bus network, part of which consists of electric vehicles, offers easy access to all key points of the Principality. Public elevators and escalators—trademarks of Monaco—make getting around this hilly district easier and provide quick, effortless access to Larvotto beach in just a few minutes.
