With an average price of around 2 459 €/m², La Roche-sur-Yon sits at the level of a mid-sized prefecture town, more affordable than the Vendée coast. Its Napoleonic pentagonal plan, its place Napoléon and its position at the heart of the Vendée make it a town sought after by buyers and families.
La Roche-sur-Yon is the prefecture town of the Vendée. In 1804 Napoleon decided to make it the administrative seat of the department and had the town redrawn along a geometric star-shaped plan, the Pentagone, organised around a vast central square, today the place Napoléon, where his equestrian statue stands.
The faubourgs developed around that administrative and retail centre: the station district and the Sacré-Cœur to the north-west, the hospital hub of Les Oudairies to the north, the former villages to the east such as Bourg-sous-la-Roche, and the housing districts of the south-east, La Garenne and Les Pyramides.
The geography of prices follows that layout: the Pentagone, the residential faubourgs of the north and east and the former villages are appreciating, while the housing districts of the south-east remain the most affordable in the town.
The La Roche-sur-Yon market attracts first-time buyers, families, people working in the prefecture and its employment area, and investors. Demand focuses on apartments in the pentagonal centre and the station district, on houses in the faubourgs and the former villages to the east, and on the more affordable properties of the south-eastern districts. Prices, moderate for a prefecture of this size, are sought after for the setting of a mid-sized town and the proximity of the Vendée coast.
