The Lancrel district, in the west and north-west of Alençon. Google Maps.
Lancrel occupies the west and north-west of Alençon, and its name is an old one: the porte de Lancrel was one of the gates of the town in the eighteenth century, pulled down in 1776 by the intendant Jullien. The place à l'Avoine still marks its site. The district itself took shape much later, essentially in post-war housing developments, and its street names date it: they carry the names of birds, the Hirondelles, the Pinsons, the Colombes, the Pics Verts.
The area is home to the Notre-Dame de Lancrel private school and, on the rue d'Argentan, to the Cerisé park. It is crossed by the slope of the Briante, the other river of Alençon alongside the Sarthe. Three streets were checked there by point-in-polygon: the rue de Lancrel, the rue de l'Écusson and the rue de Bretagne. Transactions are concentrated on the rue de Lancrel, the rue Antoine-Parmentier and the rue Jullien.
Two streets that the municipal district councils attach elsewhere in fact fall within this perimeter: the rue des Châtelets, claimed by the « Coeur de Ville - Croix-Mercier - Châtelets Hippodrome » council, and the rue de la Brebiette, claimed for its part by the « Brebiette - Guéramé - Villeneuve » council. It is a useful reminder: the names of district councils are not perimeters.
The district sits at 1 183 €/m², at the level of the town-wide average, to within half a point. It records eight apartment sales a year. It gains 10 % over five years but falls back 12,1 % over the last twelve months, the second decline in the town after Courteille.
Lancrel is a quiet suburban district, at the exact average price of the town, 1 183 €/m². The fabric is that of post-war housing developments, with houses on regular plots and few flats: only eight apartment sales a year. It is therefore, like Villeneuve, an area where people come looking for a house rather than an apartment, with the advantage of green surroundings, the slope of the Briante and the Cerisé park, and of the Notre-Dame de Lancrel school nearby. The 12,1 % fall over twelve months has to be read against the volume: on eight annual sales, a few transactions are enough to move the average, and the five-year trend stays positive, at 10 %. The size gradient is erratic there for the same reason, with a 3-room flat at 1 476 €/m² above the studio at 1 117: that is not a market signal, it is a small-numbers effect.
The average price in Lancrel is 1 183 €/m² for an apartment (actual DVF transactions, notarised sales), within a range of 941 to 1 235 €/m² depending on the building, the floor and the condition.
From the porte de Lancrel, one of the gates of the town in the eighteenth century, pulled down in 1776 by the intendant Jullien. The place à l'Avoine still marks its site. The present district, for its part, took shape much later, in post-war housing developments, which its grid of streets named after birds makes clear.
That is what the sales of the last twelve months measure, but the figure has to be read with its margin: the district records only eight apartment sales a year, which makes the average very sensitive. Over five years the trend stays positive, at 10 %. We show both horizons rather than keeping the one that suits.
Yes, geographically, even if the municipal district council « Coeur de Ville - Croix-Mercier - Châtelets Hippodrome » claims it. The same goes for the rue de la Brebiette, attached by the town hall to the Villeneuve council. The names of the district councils of Alençon do not match the real perimeters.
