Buying an Apartment in Paris 16 in 2026: Prices and Neighbourhoods From Trocadéro to Auteuil

Buying an Apartment in Paris 16 in 2026: Prices and Neighbourhoods From Trocadéro to Auteuil

The 16th arrondissement is often described as a single address, but anyone who has searched there knows it is several markets in one. The 16th was created in 1860 from the merger of three villages, Chaillot, Passy and Auteuil, and it still carries their differences: the grand avenues and Eiffel Tower views of the north, the lively streets of Passy and La Muette, the quiet villas of Auteuil.

Those differences show in the prices. Between the most expensive and most accessible parts of the arrondissement, the gap per m² can reach 25% or more. For a buyer, understanding where each budget sits is the first step to buying well in the 16th. This guide sets out 2026 prices by neighbourhood, what each budget buys, and what to check before making an offer.

Why the 16th Arrondissement Remains a Benchmark

The 16th is the largest residential arrondissement in Paris, and one of the most stable markets in the capital. Its appeal rests on durable strengths:

  • Space and greenery: the Bois de Boulogne borders the whole western edge, with the Jardins du Ranelagh, the Trocadéro gardens and the Seine close by.
  • Schools: some of the most sought-after public schools in Paris, including the Lycée Janson-de-Sailly, the Lycée Molière and the Lycée La Fontaine, alongside renowned private and bilingual options.
  • Architecture: Haussmannian and Belle Époque buildings, Art Nouveau and Art Deco façades, and private villas hidden behind gates in Auteuil.
  • A residential rhythm: calm streets and village centres, while remaining a few minutes from the Étoile and the 8th arrondissement.

The buyer base combines established French families, executives and a strong international clientele, from Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

2026 Prices by Neighbourhood

Across the arrondissement, the average price for apartments stood at around €10,900 per m² in autumn 2026, above the Paris average and broadly stable over the past year. That average conceals very different markets:

  • Chaillot (Trocadéro, Iéna, Kléber): around €13,300 per m² on average, rising to €14,000–16,000 for quality apartments around the Trocadéro and avenue Victor-Hugo, and up to around €20,000 per m² for apartments with genuine Eiffel Tower views.
  • La Muette North and Trocadéro: around €12,800 per m².
  • Porte Dauphine: around €12,400 per m², close to the Bois de Boulogne and the avenue Foch.
  • Passy and La Muette South: around €12,000 per m², with quality family apartments often trading between €11,000 and €13,500.
  • Auteuil North: around €11,100 per m².
  • Auteuil South and Porte de Saint-Cloud: around €9,700 per m², the most accessible part of the arrondissement.

In practice, a 90 m² family apartment can range from around €900,000 in Auteuil to around €1.4 million near the Trocadéro, for comparable condition. For a wider view across arrondissements, see our 2026 Paris price guide.

The Neighbourhoods in Detail

Chaillot and the Trocadéro

The most prestigious and international part of the 16th. Wide avenues, embassies, museums (Palais de Tokyo, Musée Guimet) and the Trocadéro esplanade. This is where the largest reception apartments and the most famous views are found. Our article on Eiffel Tower views explains how these views are priced.

Victor-Hugo and Porte Dauphine

Around the avenue Victor-Hugo, the avenue Foch and the Porte Dauphine: elegant residential avenues, quality buildings with caretakers, and immediate access to the Bois de Boulogne. Our guide to apartments for sale on avenue Foch explores this sector in detail.

Passy and La Muette

The village heart of the 16th. The rue de Passy, its shops and markets, the Jardins du Ranelagh and excellent schools make it a favourite of families who want the 16th without the formality of the Trocadéro.

Auteuil

Calmer and greener, with villas, private lanes and a provincial atmosphere around the Église d’Auteuil and the rue d’Auteuil. Auteuil offers the best value per m² in the arrondissement, particularly for families looking for space.

What Makes an Apartment Stand Out in the 16th

The market rewards apartments without compromise. Agents in the north of the 16th report that only irreproachable properties now sell quickly, while those with flaws face long negotiations. The criteria that matter most:

  • Floor and light: high floors, ideally with a lift serving every level.
  • View: the Eiffel Tower, the Seine, the Bois de Boulogne or open views over the rooftops.
  • Layout: separate reception rooms, family bedrooms grouped together, a kitchen suited to family life.
  • Condition: renovated apartments with good energy performance sell faster and at stronger prices.
  • Extras: parking, a cellar, a service room or a balcony.

What to Check Before Buying

  • Co-ownership documents: minutes of recent general meetings, planned works (façade, roof, lift) and annual charges, which can be significant in buildings with caretakers and services.
  • Energy performance (DPE): G-rated apartments can no longer be newly let since 2025, F-rated ones from 2028. A key point for any investment purchase.
  • Price positioning: in the south of the 16th, agents report that a property priced even 5% above market fails to find a buyer. Comparing with recorded transactions on the official DVF database helps avoid overpaying.
