The northwest maintains some of the charm of the Latin quarter, while the outer areas give way to modern sky-rise blocks and industry. Perhaps the most animated area at it’s heart, is the Place D’Italy and the avenue de Gobelins that leads into the fifth arrondissement.
On the whole, the 13th is relatively calm, has plenty of green areas, good local commerce and reasonably priced rent, which means that it lends itself to family life.
Apartments
The 13th arrondissement offers a broad range of apartments from the traditional
to the modern. Rents are affordable throughout the arrondissement and simultaneously
its location offers good access to the east and southern suburbs, as well
as central Paris.
There is more traditional architecture and a community feel to the north and more modern blocks to the southeast, which offer excellent views of the city and makes up for their lack of charm.
Certain quaint pockets exist in such areas as La Buttes aux Cailles which are like a little hamlet in the city.
