The average price per m² for an apartment in each district of Dammarie-les-Lys covered by Immover, ranked from the most expensive to the most affordable.
The Dammarie market is not rising. The average apartment price went from 2 574 €/m² in 2021 to 2 552 in 2026, a fall of around 1 % over the period, with a drop of 2,5 % over the last twelve months. Three of the five districts are down over five years: Les Terres Douces by 11 %, Château Soubiron by 7 %, La Plaine du Lys by 6 %. Only Le Petit Dammarie and L'Abbaye du Lys are rising. With 99 apartment sales a year and 198 transactions retained across 2024 and 2025, these figures are solid at town level.
Two features explain this situation. The first is the gap between population growth and the market. The town gains 1,3 % of inhabitants a year, the strongest rise of the comparable Seine-et-Marne towns, but that growth comes from new building and from a social housing stock that accounts for 32,6 % of main residences, not from demand that would pull up the existing stock. The second is where Dammarie sits within its area: the town belongs to the Melun conurbation, 43 kilometres from Paris, and not to the Paris ring like Combs-la-Ville or Roissy-en-Brie, which show prices 14 % and 27 % higher. For a seller, that means the condition of the property and its energy rating will make more difference than the address. For a buyer, that negotiation is possible.
Dammarie-les-Lys compared with the major French cities, on the average price per m² for an apartment.
Dammarie-les-Lys owes its name to an abbey. The abbaye royale du Lys, a Cistercian abbey of nuns founded by Blanche de Castille and her son Saint Louis, was built between 1244 and about 1253 on a former vineyard plot. The village was then called Dammarie; it became Dammarie près de l'abbaye du Lys, then Dammarie-les-Lys. During the Revolution the town was even renamed Dammarie-les-Fontaines, the fleur de lys being a royal symbol. The ruins of the abbey survive in the town today.
The territory long consisted of several scattered hamlets, among them Le Petit Dammarie, before the twentieth century joined them up. The town borders the forêt de Fontainebleau to the south and the Seine to the west, two natural limits that contained its expansion.
The turning point came in the 1960s and 1970s, with the building of the post-war housing estate of La Plaine du Lys, today a priority neighbourhood under French urban policy. It explains a large part of the town's present profile, where 32,6 % of main residences are social housing, a far higher share than in neighbouring towns of comparable size.
The Dammarie of today is a residential town in the Melun conurbation, 43 kilometres from Paris. Its population has grown by 1,3 % a year since 2017, the strongest rise of the three Seine-et-Marne towns we opened at the same time. It has no station of its own: the nearest is Melun station, about ten minutes on foot from the eastern districts.
Dammarie-les-Lys is bought at 2 552 €/m² for an apartment, the most affordable level of the three comparable Seine-et-Marne towns we cover, ahead of Combs-la-Ville and Roissy-en-Brie. Buyers are mostly local: households from the Melun conurbation, first-time buyers, and working people employed in Melun or reaching Paris from the neighbouring station. Three points to know before buying. The first, and the most important, is that the market is not rising: the average price falls by 1 % over five years and by 2,5 % over twelve months, while Combs-la-Ville gains 6 % and Roissy-en-Brie 1 %. Three districts out of five are easing. That does not mean giving up, but resale will take patience and there is room to negotiate. The second is the gap between districts, 45 %, which covers a clear social dividing line between the priority neighbourhood and the low-rise residential areas. The third is the absence of a station in the town: check the real travel time to Melun station from the address you are considering, as it varies a great deal from one end of the territory to the other.
The average price in Dammarie-les-Lys is 2 552 €/m² for an apartment (actual DVF transactions, notarised sales), within a range of 1 974 to 2 975 €/m² depending on the district. Listing portals show asking prices, 10 to 20 % above the prices actually recorded at signing.
Le Petit Dammarie, at 2 894 €/m², 13 % above the town average and 45 % above La Plaine du Lys. It is the historic hamlet the town grew out of, in the south of the territory, and it is also by far the most active area, with thirty-five apartment sales a year, or 38 % of the town market.
The average apartment price goes from 2 574 €/m² in 2021 to 2 552 in 2026, a fall of 1 %, with a drop of 2,5 % over twelve months. This happens while the population grows by 1,3 % a year. The explanation lies in the type of growth: it is driven by new building and by a large social housing stock, 32,6 % of main residences, rather than by demand that would pull up prices in the existing stock. For a buyer, there is room to negotiate; for a seller, resale takes patience.
No. The town has no station of its own. The nearest is Melun station, immediately to the east, reached on foot in about ten minutes from the eastern districts of Dammarie, and served by suburban rail line R and by the RER D towards Paris-Gare de Lyon. The real travel time varies a great deal depending on the address: it is a point to check before buying.
From the abbaye royale du Lys, a Cistercian abbey of nuns founded by Blanche de Castille and Saint Louis and built between 1244 and about 1253. The village of Dammarie became Dammarie près de l'abbaye du Lys, then Dammarie-les-Lys. During the Revolution the town was renamed Dammarie-les-Fontaines, the fleur de lys being a royal symbol. The ruins of the abbey survive.
A house costs 2 976 €/m² against 2 552 for an apartment, 17 % more, a gap slightly above the norm. The town stock is 64,7 % apartments and 34,7 % houses. Do watch the calculation convention: the price per square metre of a house is based on the built floor area, whereas the price paid also covers the land.
Start with the district, which genuinely counts here: 45 % separates La Plaine du Lys from Le Petit Dammarie, and that gap covers very different markets. Then look at the condition of the property and its energy rating, decisive in a market that is not rising and where the buyer negotiates. Finally, check the travel time to Melun station from the address. The Immover estimator draws on the actual recorded sales closest to your address.
