In Cadaujac, apartments are referenced at around 3 085 €/m². The village centre, long made up of houses, is seeing a few recent apartment schemes widen the offer little by little, but detached housing remains the fabric of the market. We draw this benchmark from sales completed before notaries and compiled in the DVF data, the French notarised sales database, not from asking prices in listings. It sets an order of magnitude: condition, location within the municipality and closeness to the TER station or to the roads towards Bordeaux then make the difference between two properties.

Two assets feed the Cadaujac market: the TER station on the Bordeaux-Langon line, which puts the metropolitan area within reach by train, and the neighbouring Graves lands of the Pessac-Léognan appellation, which give the setting its character. On that base, family houses in good condition change hands smoothly, older homes in need of renovation follow as soon as the price accounts for the works, and the few new apartments capture buyers who wanted to stay close to the services. Each sale reads first through the qualities of the property, its transport links and its location, rather than through an overall curve.
Over several years, the path is set between two forces. On one side, the spreading out of Bordeaux, the rail service and scarce land on an area mixing vines, woods and the banks of the Garonne support prices. On the other, the energy rating now separates properties: an efficient home holds its value, a poorly rated one is sold off. Behind all this, the economic health of the Bordeaux conurbation remains the engine of demand south of the river.
Cadaujac sits in the middle of its area: its prices remain below those of Pessac and Bordeaux, while coming close to a municipality such as Villenave-d'Ornon.
Cadaujac lies south of Bordeaux, on the left bank of the Garonne, some ten kilometres from the centre. The site has been settled since Gallo-Roman times, evangelised in the 8th century, and saw its first church rise in the 11th century. A former barony attached to the Jurade of Bordeaux from the 10th century, the municipality was then known for its forest and its vines, which still shape its terroir.
The Garonne long set the rhythm of local life. At their peak, in the 18th and 19th centuries, four ports lined the banks of the river: Hourtin, Carpentey, Marguerite and the port of Cadaujac, then called Coplon and today Grima. From that period remains the château de Cadaujac, also known as château Chapon, built at the end of the 18th century by monsieur de Saige, baron de Beautiran; its fourteen-hectare estate and its park have belonged to the municipality since 1979.
Cadaujac is one of the ten municipalities of the Pessac-Léognan appellation, created in 1987 out of the division of the Graves, which anchors the municipality in the Bordeaux vineyard. Part of the communauté de communes de Montesquieu, an inter-municipal authority, it now lives mainly from its residential role, between the banks of the Garonne, vines and woods. It offers the shops, schools and facilities of a lively village, a short distance from the Bordeaux conurbation.
Cadaujac, on the left bank of the Garonne south of Bordeaux, has around 6 909 inhabitants according to INSEE, the French statistics institute, a population that swells as the metropolitan area spreads out towards its Graves lands. Buyers are first of all working households, families and first-time buyers who work in the conurbation and want a garden without moving far from the city. The housing stock leans heavily towards the detached house, which steers projects towards a main residence rather than an investment, even if the recent apartment schemes open a door to buy-to-let. Attached to the communauté de communes de Montesquieu, an inter-municipal authority, the municipality draws on its TER station and on the main roads of the southern Bordeaux area to keep a steady flow of buyers.
The price benchmark in Cadaujac stands at around 3 085 €/m² for an apartment. It comes from DVF sales, registered with notaries, and not from asking prices in listings. Treat it as an average: depending on floor area, condition and neighbourhood, a recent house with land or an older home in need of work will differ noticeably.
The village centre brings together shops, schools and daily life, which makes it a sought-after anchor point. Around it, housing estates and houses with gardens, sometimes backing onto the vines or the banks of the Garonne, appeal to families. Properties a short distance from the TER station, from the services and from the roads towards Bordeaux are among the most in demand.
Cadaujac lies some ten kilometres south of Bordeaux, on the left bank of the Garonne. Its TER station on the line towards Bordeaux and Langon, together with the main roads of the southern conurbation, puts it within reach of the employment area: enough to explain why it attracts working households keen to keep a greener setting.
The house leads the way in Cadaujac. Apartments are gaining ground thanks to the recent schemes in the village centre, but remain a minority against detached housing. For a buyer, the house with land is the benchmark product, designed for family life between vines and the banks of the Garonne; the apartment suits a first purchase or a measured budget, without weighing heavily in the overall number of sales.
The area combines residential zones, the Pessac-Léognan appellation vineyard and the banks of the Garonne, which limits what can be built and brings flood risk near the river into the equation. Closeness to Bordeaux can also tighten the market on the most sought-after properties. A visit to the town hall to consult the local planning scheme remains the best way to know what a plot allows.
