The average price per m² for an apartment in each district of Gif-sur-Yvette covered by Immover, ranked from the most expensive to the most affordable.
The Gif-sur-Yvette market is easing slightly. The average apartment price went from 4 122 €/m² in 2021 to 4 057 in 2026, a fall of around 2 %, after a high point of 4 453 €/m² in 2023. It has been stable over the last twelve months. With 94 apartment sales a year, volume is sufficient for this trend to be readable.
All the published districts are stable or falling over five years: Chevry by 1 %, Centre-ville by 4 %, La Mérantaise by 6 %, Courcelle by 7 % and L'Abbaye by 9 %. The ranking, however, does not move: the valley keeps its lead over the plateau and the 1960s estates. For a seller, this means that the price is defended by the quality of the property, in a market that no longer carries growth. For a buyer, it means that conditions are more favourable than in 2023, before the announced opening of line 18 on the plateau.
Gif-sur-Yvette compared with the major French cities, on the average price per m² for an apartment.
Gif-sur-Yvette grew up in the Yvette valley around the Benedictine abbey of Notre-Dame du Val de Gif, recorded in the twelfth century. The railway arrived on 26 August 1867, followed by the Courcelle halt in 1897: this is the origin of the two RER B stations the municipality has today.
The post-war years gave it its scientific calling. In 1946 the CNRS, the French national research centre, bought the Button estate; in 1947 the CEA, the French atomic energy commission, acquired the château du Val Fleury, which the municipality bought back in 2003. Researchers and teachers remain a large share of the population.
The municipality then changed scale. The Chevry programme, launched in 1968 on the plateau, delivered its first houses in 1972 and was completed in 1993. Gif-sur-Yvette grew from 7 298 inhabitants in 1968 to 22 544 in 2023, and 41,6 % of its homes date from 1971-1990.
The Moulon plateau, to the north, carries the latest transformation: Supélec moved there in 1975, CentraleSupélec opened its campus there in 2017, and the Université Paris-Saclay was created in 2020. The first section of metro line 18, which is to serve the plateau, is announced for the end of 2026.
Gif-sur-Yvette sells at 4 057 €/m² for an apartment, in a municipality with a high standard of living, a median of 39 100 €, and a poverty rate of 6,5 %. The buyer profile is that of researchers, teachers and managers linked to the Saclay plateau, of families drawn by the setting of the valley and by the schools and institutions of the area, and of investors targeting student lettings. Three points to know before buying. The first is that the valley costs more than the plateau: Centre-ville sells at 4 922 €/m², Chevry at 4 214, and the 1960s estates, La Mérantaise and L'Abbaye, at around 3 300 to 3 400. The second is the narrow gap between houses and apartments, only 2 %: the choice turns on use and service charges, not on the price per square metre. The third is the trend, slightly negative over five years, a 2 % fall: the published prices reflect sales recorded in 2024 and 2025, before the announced opening of line 18.
The average price in Gif-sur-Yvette is 4 057 €/m² for an apartment (actual DVF transactions, notarised sales), within a range of 3 324 to 4 583 €/m² depending on the district. Property portals show asking prices, 10 to 20 % above the prices actually recorded.
Centre-ville, at 4 922 €/m², 21 % above the municipality-wide average. It is old Gif in the valley, around the RER B station and the rue Henri-Amodru. Chevry follows at 4 214 €/m², then Courcelle at 3 822 €/m².
About half an hour to Denfert-Rochereau on the RER B, from Gif-sur-Yvette or Courcelle-sur-Yvette stations. By road, the N118 leads to Paris. The first section of metro line 18, which is to serve the Moulon plateau, is announced for the end of 2026.
Slightly: the average apartment price went from 4 122 €/m² in 2021 to 4 057 in 2026, a fall of around 2 %, and it is stable over twelve months. No district has risen over five years; the falls range from 1 % in Chevry to 9 % in L'Abbaye.
Houses sell at 4 143 €/m², 2 % more than apartments. The most expensive apartments in the municipality are in Centre-ville in the valley, a sought-after location, while a large share of the houses are in the housing developments of the plateau. The two markets therefore meet per square metre.
It is too early to measure. The first section is announced for the end of 2026, with a station at Moulon, on the plateau. The prices we publish reflect sales actually recorded in 2024 and 2025, and show no rise in anticipation: the municipality has fallen 2 % over five years.
