Aix-en-Provence remains one of the most expensive markets in the south of France, driven by the scarcity of characterful older stock and lasting strong demand. The average apartment price, around 5 038 €/m², holds at a high level, supported by the appeal of the city and of the Aix-Marseille-Provence metropolitan area.

Aix-en-Provence, the former capital of Provence and the city of King René, has kept a remarkable historic centre. The Cours Mirabeau, cut through in 1649 and lined with plane trees, cafés and fountains, remains its main artery. To the south, the Mazarin district, laid out from 1646 on a grid plan, aligns the private mansions built for the nobility and the magistrates, around the Quatre-Dauphins fountain.
The town is inseparable from Paul Cézanne, born and died in Aix, whose studio and the landscapes of the Sainte-Victoire left their mark on the history of art. The university, founded in 1409 by King René, lives on today within Aix-Marseille University, one of the largest in France. Founded by the Romans around its thermal springs, Aix also keeps its Sextius baths and the Rotonde fountain, the most monumental in the city.
This cultural and heritage prestige feeds a premium property market, one of the most expensive in the south of France, well above nearby Marseille. The Provençal quality of life, the tourist appeal and the integration into the Aix-Marseille-Provence metropolitan area sustain lasting strong demand.
The Aix market attracts executives, well-off families and professionals seeking a prestigious historic centre, along with a Parisian clientele and second-home demand drawn to the Provençal setting. The large student population of Aix-Marseille University fuels an active rental market for smaller units. Investors look here for both the heritage value of the older properties in the centre and the yield from student lets.
