The average price of apartments in Beaumont stands at 2 139 €/m², based on DVF transactions actually recorded at the notary (DVF is the French notarised sales database). This average covers a varied stock: apartment blocks and residences of recent decades, town houses around the former Saint-Pierre abbey church, and residential detached houses on the heights overlooking the Limagne plain. The municipality's position, in the inner ring south of Clermont-Ferrand and connected to the conurbation network, supports demand. Floor level, aspect, the condition of the property, the presence of outdoor space and proximity to shops and transport cause the value of a home to vary noticeably. Available land remains limited on a small municipal territory, which weighs on the best-located properties.

The Beaumont market remains active for a municipality of this size, driven by its residential function and its position in the inner ring of Clermont-Ferrand. Homes here are mostly occupied year-round, which gives a steady pace of sales, fed by the turnover of households between renting and ownership and by movements tied to employment in the conurbation. New supply remains constrained by a small, already largely built-up municipal territory: transactions concentrate on resales and renovations within the existing fabric.
Several factors support this price level. The immediate proximity of Clermont-Ferrand and its employment areas, the service by the conurbation network, the presence of shops and facilities, and the residential setting between the Limagne plain and the slopes sustain continuous local demand. Conversely, Beaumont remains a suburban municipality whose prices sit below the most sought-after areas of the Clermont west, which caps the rise in values.
Beaumont sits slightly below Chamalières, a well-regarded residential municipality of the Clermont west, and at a level close to Clermont-Ferrand, the prefecture, immediately to the north. It remains within the range of inner-ring municipalities such as Cournon-d'Auvergne, east of the conurbation.
The site of Beaumont has been occupied since the Neolithic and is said to have first been home to a Gallo-Roman village. Its name comes from the Latin Bellus Mons, the beautiful mount, a form attested in the charters of the 12th century. The municipality grew up around a Benedictine abbey of women, one of the first female monastic foundations in Auvergne, established as early as the 7th century under the episcopate of the Bishop of Clermont.
The former Saint-Pierre abbey church, built between 1060 and 1090 in the Romanesque style, testifies to the power of this establishment, one of the most influential in the diocese of Clermont between the end of the 13th century and the middle of the 14th century. The abbey maintained a priory in Clermont, with a large granary intended to supply the city's market. Beaumont long remained a rural market town peopled by winegrowers, set against its slopes.
In the 20th century, the municipality shifted towards a residential vocation. The immediate proximity of Clermont-Ferrand, where a large share of the inhabitants work, turned the former winegrowers' village into an inner-ring suburban municipality. Beaumont is today attached to Clermont Auvergne Métropole and ranks among the most populous municipalities of the conurbation.
Beaumont has 10 728 inhabitants. A residential municipality of the inner southern ring of Clermont-Ferrand, it directly borders the prefecture to the north, Aubière to the east, Romagnat to the south and Ceyrat to the west, on a municipal territory of about 400 hectares. The market addresses first households settled year-round: working people employed in the Clermont conurbation, families seeking a residential setting close to the city, and owners attached to the municipality. Demand splits between apartments of the flat-based stock and town houses or detached houses, the latter rarer and generally better valued.
The average price of apartments in Beaumont is 2 139 €/m², based on DVF transactions actually recorded at the notary. This average covers gaps depending on the area, the type of property, floor level, aspect, the presence of outdoor space and the condition of the home. A recent apartment close to shops and an old town-centre house are not at the same price level.
From one neighbourhood to the next, the value of a property in Beaumont depends on the type of home, its condition and its immediate surroundings. Town houses around the former abbey church, flat-based residences and the detached houses of the heights do not sell at the same level. Proximity to shops, schools and transport stops, aspect, floor level and the presence of outdoor space also weigh on the price.
Beaumont is an inner-ring municipality of Clermont-Ferrand, a few kilometres south of the centre. It is connected to the conurbation by the T2C bus network and by the major road axes serving the Clermont south, including the A75. The station and Clermont-Ferrand Auvergne airport, north-east of the conurbation, are the nearest.
Yes. Unlike tourist municipalities, Beaumont is a residential suburban municipality where homes are above all main residences, occupied year-round. Demand comes first from households who work in the Clermont conurbation and seek a living environment close to the city. This structure gives a steady market, less subject to seasonal swings than resorts or coastal areas.
The reference price of 2 139 €/m² applies to apartments, which form a large share of the stock. Town houses and detached houses, often with a garden, are rarer for sale and generally sell above the level of apartments. The choice depends above all on budget, the floor area sought and the importance placed on outdoor space.
