Les Jardins de l'Empereur, the western heights of Ajaccio. Google Maps map.
Les Jardins de l'Empereur occupies the western heights of the town, above Le Salario and the route des Sanguinaires. The name comes from the large development built in the 1960s to house a fast-growing population, and which gave its identity to the whole hillside.
The area extends well beyond the large estate. It spreads over the hills that look down on the town, with Le Belvédère, the terraces of Torretta, L'Olmo, Morone, Les Barraques, Luminaggia and La Sarra, where collective housing gives way to villas and scattered housing estates. The district is designated a priority urban policy neighbourhood in its central part.
On the market, Les Jardins de l'Empereur sits at around 3 282 €/m² for an apartment, on around 35 sales a year. That figure covers two realities: the median for the area, at 2 731 €/m², is well below its average, because the large estate and the villas of the heights belong to different markets. The price has risen by around 22 % over five years.
The area attracts, on one side, first-time buyers and investors for the apartments of the large estate, at prices among the lowest in the town, and on the other side buyers looking for a villa with a view on the heights. These two markets sit side by side without overlapping: the exact position within the district counts far more than the headline average.
The average price in Les Jardins de l'Empereur is 3 282 €/m² for an apartment (actual DVF transactions, notarised sales), within a range of 2 289 to 3 623 €/m² depending on the building, the storey and the condition.
The area occupies the western heights of the town, above Le Salario and the route des Sanguinaires. It takes in the Les Jardins de l'Empereur development, Le Belvédère, the terraces of Torretta, L'Olmo, Morone, Les Barraques, Luminaggia and La Sarra.
The area sits at around 3 282 €/m² for an apartment, on around 35 sales a year, but its median, at 2 731 €/m², is markedly lower. That gap comes from two markets sitting side by side: the large estate, among the most affordable in Ajaccio, and the villas of the heights, far more expensive.
The area mixes apartments of the large 1960s estate, more recent developments and villas scattered over the hills. Depending on the exact address, the price varies twofold: a case-by-case valuation is more useful there than elsewhere.
