The Danjoutin market is closely tied to that of the Belfort urban area and to the health of local employment, historically shaped by industry. The immediate closeness of Belfort, transport and services support steady demand from first-time buyers and from families looking for affordable prices. The north of Franche-Comté remains one of the most affordable areas in the country, which benefits buyers but limits the room for values to rise. Detached houses with a garden, more sought after, stand clearly apart from flats in blocks.
As elsewhere, location, the presence of outdoor space and energy performance govern most of the price. A home that consumes a lot of energy now trades at a sharper discount than before, which weighs on part of the older stock and of the flats in blocks. The market remains sensitive to the level of lending rates, decisive for buyers who are often first-time buyers, and to the trend of employment in the urban area. A seller offering a property in good condition, well located and correctly rated in its assessment finds a buyer more easily than a home in need of renovation.
Danjoutin shows prices among the most affordable in the area, at a level close to Belfort, above Grand-Charmont and slightly above Montbéliard.
Danjoutin grew up at the crossing of two Roman roads, a through position that explains how old it is: the place is mentioned as early as the 12th century. In the Middle Ages it came under the county of Ferrette and then under the House of Austria, in an area long disputed on the edges of Alsace and Franche-Comté. The territory was laid waste several times, in 1441 and then in 1633 during the Thirty Years' War, like the villages of the Belfort gap. As with the neighbouring places, Danjoutin was later given by Louis XIV to his minister Mazarin, marking its attachment to France.
The municipality holds a tragic place in the memory of the siege of Belfort, during the war of 1870-1871. Set at the foot of the colline des Perches, fortified by the men of colonel Denfert-Rochereau, Danjoutin became a major strategic objective: taking it opened the way for the Prussians towards the forts overlooking the town. On 7 and 8 January 1871, the village was the scene of fighting of extreme violence between French and Prussian troops. Its loss was a serious setback for the defenders of Belfort, whose heroic resistance left a lasting mark on the history of the Territoire.
After the war, the history of Danjoutin merged with that of the Belfort urban area and its industrial growth. The immediate closeness of Belfort, of which the municipality is today a southern suburb, brought gradual urbanisation: apartment blocks and neighbourhoods of detached housing were added to the old fabric, housing a population tied to local employment. Crossed by the roads linking Belfort to the valley, provided with local shops and services, Danjoutin has established itself as a residential municipality integrated into the urban area, while keeping the memory of its past as a border village and of its role in the siege.
Danjoutin has around 3 500 inhabitants, according to INSEE, the French statistics institute, at the southern gates of Belfort. Its housing stock is contrasted: an old suburb fabric and apartment blocks sit alongside more recent areas of detached housing. Buyers are mainly households from the Belfort urban area, first-time buyers and families, drawn by the immediate closeness of Belfort, of transport, of shops and of jobs, at prices among the most affordable in the area. The municipality also appeals to those looking for a house with a garden without moving away from the town. Demand bears particularly on detached houses, which supports prices in that segment and explains the gap with apartments.
The average apartment price in Danjoutin stands at 1 326 €/m², and that of houses at around 1 780 €/m², according to the DVF transactions registered with notaries. The gap reflects the place held by the detached house in the local stock, more sought after by families. The condition of the property, the presence of outdoor space, the floor and the energy rating weigh heavily on value. For a specific home, a valuation based on comparable sales remains more reliable than the average alone.
Yes. Danjoutin adjoins Belfort to the south, of which it forms an immediate suburb, and belongs to the Belfort urban area. This closeness is the main driver of its market: the municipality benefits from the transport, the shops and the jobs of the neighbouring town while offering more affordable prices. This situation attracts households who work in Belfort and are looking to house themselves, in an apartment or a house, on a more moderate budget than in the town centre.
The housing stock of Danjoutin combines an old suburb fabric, apartment blocks and more recent neighbourhoods of detached housing. The detached house with a garden remains the property most sought after by families, which supports prices in that segment. Apartments, more affordable, are concentrated in the blocks and appeal to first-time buyers. This variety explains the price gap between areas and between property types within a single municipality.
Prices in Danjoutin are among the most moderate in the area, in line with the whole Belfort urban area and the north of Franche-Comté, where the market remains affordable compared with other regions. The structure of the stock, with a large share of flats in blocks, contributes to this level. The municipality nonetheless remains sought after for its immediate closeness to Belfort and its services, which supports demand, in particular on detached houses.
Yes. Set at the foot of the colline des Perches, Danjoutin was a major strategic objective during the siege of Belfort of 1870-1871, with violent fighting on 7 and 8 January 1871. That past has stayed in local memory and belongs to the military history of the Territoire de Belfort, marked by the resistance led by colonel Denfert-Rochereau. This memorial heritage takes part in the identity of the municipality, alongside its old suburb fabric.
