The Clermont market benefits from its position in the south of the Oise, between the Creil area and the Brèche valley. The town attracts households looking for prices more affordable than in the south of the department and than in the nearby Paris region, while keeping the services of a sub-prefecture town. Demand covers both the apartments of the centre, sought after by first-time buyers and landlords, and the town houses and detached homes favoured by families.
The rail service is an important driver. Clermont-de-l'Oise station links Paris Gare du Nord by direct trains in about forty minutes, with stops at Chantilly and Creil. That connection places the town within the sphere of influence of the Paris region and attracts people working in Paris who are looking for cheaper housing. Conversely, the market remains dependent on the local economy and on the Creil employment area; how quickly a property sells varies with its location, its condition and its closeness to the station.
Clermont sits in a mid-range bracket for the south of the Oise. It remains more expensive than the industrial area of Creil, but clearly below highly sought-after towns of the area such as Chantilly, while staying close to sub-prefecture towns such as Compiègne.
Clermont, a sub-prefecture town of the Oise, not to be confused with Clermont-Ferrand in Auvergne, is a small town perched on a hill overlooking the Brèche valley, in the south of the department. Its origin goes back to around the 10th century, when a fortified point was established on this promontory. The town then became the seat of a powerful county. In the 13th century, Robert de France, sixth son of Saint Louis, received the county through his marriage to Béatrice de Bourgogne, and became the ancestor of the House of Bourbon, which would later give France its kings. That feudal past left a strong mark on the upper town.
The heritage of Clermont still carries the trace of that history. The keep, or castle of the counts of Clermont, a feudal remnant dating back to the 11th century, stands on the promontory that commanded the town. Nearby, the town hall, an old building on the central square, bears witness to municipal life and to the great families who settled there, as the houses and private mansions of the 17th and 18th centuries attest. The sub-prefecture building itself occupies the former convent of the Trinitarians of Saint-André, an order established in Clermont as early as 1244 at the request of the count. Church, keep and old residences still shape the historic core.
Long a market town and the administrative centre of its district, Clermont grew in the Brèche valley, where industrial activity and a fabric of suburbs took root in the 19th and 20th centuries. The arrival of the railway, with the line linking Paris to the north of France, anchored the town in the regional network and brought Clermont closer to Creil, Beauvais and the capital. The town today keeps its role as a sub-prefecture town and a service hub for the surrounding municipalities, between the historic upper town and the more recent neighbourhoods that spread down towards the valley.
Clermont has 10 564 inhabitants, according to INSEE, the French statistics institute, which makes it one of the main towns in the south of the Oise and the chief town of its district. The town acts as a service and employment hub for a catchment of rural and peri-urban municipalities. Its housing stock is more urban than in the neighbouring villages: it mixes apartments in the centre and the older suburbs, town houses and detached houses on the outskirts. Buyers are mostly local households and working people employed in Clermont, in Creil or in the Paris region, drawn by prices that are more moderate than in the south of the department and by the rail service towards Paris.
The average price of apartments in Clermont, in the Oise, is 2 180 €/m², based on DVF transactions actually completed before notaries. This is indeed the sub-prefecture town of the Oise, not to be confused with Clermont-Ferrand. This average varies with location, from the historic centre to the valley neighbourhoods, with the condition of the property, the storey and the closeness of the station, which all have a clear effect on values.
Clermont sets a historic upper town, perched on its hill around the keep and the town hall, against more recent neighbourhoods that spread down towards the Brèche valley. The old centre offers a heritage setting and local shops, while the older suburbs and the outskirts offer more houses and detached homes. Properties close to the station, convenient for reaching Paris, attract particular demand.
Clermont-de-l'Oise station is linked to Paris Gare du Nord by direct trains in about forty minutes, with intermediate stops at Chantilly and Creil.
