Guide to the neighborhoods of Saint-Cloud

Saint-Cloud is divided into 6 distinct neighborhoods, each with its own unique character. Here are the four main ones:

• Centre/Village: As the name suggests, this neighborhood is located in the heart of Saint-Cloud. It perfectly balances modernity with the historical charm of the city. You’ll find a wide array of shops and all the necessities for daily life. It’s likely the most lively area in Saint-Cloud, yet it retains its village-like soul.
• Les Coteaux: Located in the north of the city, this neighborhood was once popular with Parisians looking for a weekend retreat. It retains the large houses that add to its charm, originally built on former agricultural land.
• Val d’Or: Moving to the heights, the Val d’Or neighborhood is upscale, with many beautiful homes, large apartment buildings, and various activity centers. It also boasts a large golf course nestled within the Saint-Cloud racecourse.
• Montretout: Another area that has evolved from its agricultural roots, Montretout is now dominated by parks and luxury. It’s one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in the city, home to many affluent Parisians.

Financial aid and subsidies for accommodation sharing

If you thought you could only receive financial assistance for traditional rentals, think again! You can also receive state aid for accommodation sharing. The available aids include:

• APL (Aide Personnalisée au Logement): This personalized housing assistance is granted based on the applicant’s situation. The CAF (Caisse d’Allocation Familiale), which provides this aid, considers the rent amount, income, and household composition.
• ALS (Allocation de Logement Social): This social housing allowance is available for tenants of non-conventional housing, subject to income conditions. If you are a student with low income, you may be eligible for this aid.

To apply, create an account on the CAF website. Your login credentials and information will be sent to you via email to ensure secure connections. For more details, check out our article “Personalized Housing assistance and flat-sharing : How does it work ?”

Practical tips for moving into a shared accommodation

After providing you with all the necessary information about life in Saint-Cloud, it’s time to share our tips for preparing for coliving.

Proper preparation before packing your bags is essential. In coliving, everything is included, so you don’t need to buy furniture. Check the location of your desired accommodation. Is it close to a train, metro, or bus line? Is there a staircase or an elevator for access? If you have a car, see if it’s possible to reserve a nearby parking spot.

Coliving means shared living spaces, so be ready to open up to others and step out of your comfort zone. To maintain harmony and integrate into your coliving environment, be the first to reach out to your housemates and establish moments of conviviality.
