Vaux is the eastern suburb of Laon, at the foot of the hill, and its name says where it is: the former Vaux-sous-Laon, in the small valleys that border the plateau. The district took shape along the rue Pasteur, which remains by far its street with the most transactions, and along the avenue Charles-de-Gaulle.
The fabric is that of a residential suburb of the twentieth century, with the rue de la Bouloire, the rue Eugène-Leduc, the rue Winston-Churchill, the rue du Point-du-Jour and the avenue Gambetta. There is neither medieval heritage nor a post-war housing estate here: this is ordinary Laon, the Laon that people live in.
The district sits at 1 147 €/m², exactly at the level of the municipal average, to within two euros. That coincidence is useful: Vaux is the best reference point for reading the Laon market, neither pulled up by the heritage of the plateau nor down by the social housing of Champagne.
Its trajectory, on the other hand, is the most erratic in the municipality. The district loses 4 % over five years but gains 23,8 % over the last twelve months, the widest gap between the two horizons in the whole set. With eleven apartment sales a year, it is a sample effect more than a market movement.
Vaux is ordinary Laon, and that is what makes it a good reference point. At 1 147 €/m², the district sits exactly at the level of the municipal average, without the heritage of the plateau or the social housing of Champagne to distort it. The buyer profile is that of households looking for a quiet residential suburb at the foot of the hill, with the lower town immediately at hand and the upper town within reach. A warning about the figures, which we prefer to give plainly. The rise of 23,8 % over twelve months is the most spectacular movement in the district, but it rests on eleven annual sales: two or three transactions are enough to produce it. The five-year trend, minus 4 %, in fact points the other way. What should be taken from it is not a direction but an amplitude: at this volume, the district average is an order of magnitude, not a value. The range, from 936 to 1 250 €/m², is wide for an even fabric, and the condition of the property explains most of the gap.
The average price in Vaux is 1 147 €/m² for an apartment (actual DVF transactions, notarised sales), within a range of 936 to 1 250 €/m² depending on the building, the floor and the condition.
That is what the sales of the last twelve months measure, but this figure should not be read as a trend. The district records only eleven apartment sales a year, and two or three transactions are enough to produce a swing of that size. The five-year horizon gives on the contrary a fall of 4 %. What should be taken from it is that the district average is here an order of magnitude, not a precise value.
It is the district that comes closest: at 1 147 €/m², it is two euros away from the municipal average. It has neither the heritage of the plateau, which pulls prices up, nor the social housing of Champagne, which pulls them down. To understand what an ordinary apartment is worth in Laon, it is the best starting point.
In the east of the municipality, at the foot of the hill, in the small valleys that border the plateau. Its name comes from the former Vaux-sous-Laon. It is organised around the rue Pasteur and the avenue Charles-de-Gaulle, in a residential suburb fabric of the twentieth century. The lower town is immediately accessible, the upper town requires a climb.
