Racine

Racine is Casablanca at its most polished. Part of the golden triangle alongside Gauthier, it is a compact, walkable quarter where boutiques, art galleries and refined bistros line streets of Art Deco and modern apartment buildings. It is the address for design-conscious professionals and expatriates who want to be at the centre of the city's style. For investors the fundamentals are strong: a fashionable, liquid central market with steady appreciation and robust rental demand. The caution is that its very popularity has produced pockets of short-let oversaturation, which can squeeze yields, while older blocks need renovation and parking is tight. For those who want a prime, lifestyle-led Casablanca address, Racine is hard to beat.
