Residential leisure park: second homes without impact on the supply of main residences!
Thanks to its Residential Leisure Parks, the Nature & Résidence Group meets the French appetite for second homes, without altering the supply of housing available as a primary residence. A decisive asset in a tense sector.
In France, four out of ten second homes are located on the coast. In the most attractive areas, this phenomenon necessarily causes significant imbalances between the share of primary residences and the share of secondary residences. With 54.5% second homes, the Gulf of Saint-Tropez is an extreme case. But other sectors are not spared: 40.6% of second homes in the Royan agglomeration, 38.5% in the South of the Landes, 28% in the Arcachon Basin, 18.3% in the Basque Country … Seaside towns are particularly affected. In Biarritz or Saint-Jean-de-Luz, more than 40% of housing is second homes occupied only a few weeks a year. This situation is problematic for many residents who are no longer able to find year-round accommodation in their place of life and work. So, what solutions can be found to reconcile the needs of the territories faced with the lack of year-round housing and the French appetite for second homes?
A lasting solution to the housing challenge
« The problem does not come from the French taste for second homes, but rather from the type of property offered », Estimates Luis Do Souto, head of the Nature & Résidence Group.
Established in the Basque Country and present throughout France, Nature & Résidence has been building residential areas with services for more than ten years: residential leisure parks (N&R Village), senior residences (N&R Silver), leisure residences (N&R Loisirs)… “ Residential leisure parks (PRL) that we develop obey, for example, very precise standards. They occupy land where construction is extremely regulated and where it is only possible to build light leisure homes. And nothing else. Our PRL are therefore never in competition with building land, nor with housing sold to residents or rented for the year. he explains.
In other words, PRLs do not encroach on the local market for primary residences. A win-win, in short, for second home owners and locals alike!
