The Longjumeau market is falling over time. The average apartment price went from 2 952 €/m² in 2021 to a peak of 3 107 in 2022, then came back down to 2 768 in 2026, around 6 % less than in 2021. Over twelve months, the fall is 3,0 %. With 147 apartment sales a year, the municipal trend is easy to read, and Centre-ville accounts for the largest share of it.
All three districts are down over five years: Centre-ville by 6 %, Voie du Sud by 3 %, Les Coteaux by 1 %. Over twelve months, Centre-ville has lost 1,9 % and Voie du Sud 2,7 %, while Les Coteaux has gained 3,2 %, a movement based on eleven sales a year that needs confirming. For a seller, this means that a price is justified by the street, the floor and the condition of the condominium more than by the memory of 2022 prices. For a buyer, it means that there is room to negotiate, particularly on properties that need renovation.
Longjumeau compared with the major French cities, on the average price per m² for an apartment.
Longjumeau is a municipality in the Essonne department, the seat of a canton and a member of the Paris-Saclay inter-municipal authority, about 19 kilometres as the crow flies from Notre-Dame de Paris. Its name is recorded as Nongemellum in the eleventh century, then as Lonjumel at the start of the thirteenth; it is thought to come from the Gaulish Noviomagus, meaning 'new market'. Lying on the road from Paris to Orléans, the town was a coaching stage, made famous in 1836 by Adolphe Adam's comic opera, Le Postillon de Lonjumeau. The church of Saint-Martin dates from the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, the bridge over the Yvette from 1438.
In 1288, the seigneury of Balizy, to the east, was sold to the Knights Templar. The old Balizy bridge survives from that period, three thirteenth-century arches, listed as a historic monument in 1930 and given full classified status in 1976. On 23 March 1568, the Peace of Longjumeau, signed at the hôtel du Dauphin, ended the second War of Religion. The Saint-Martin mill was built in 1785, and Longjumeau became the seat of a canton in 1790.
The railway arrived in 1883 with the Grande Ceinture line, then in 1893 with the Arpajonnais, a light railway linking the town to Les Halles in Paris. In 1911, Lenin, then in exile, stayed in a house on the Grande Rue, today the rue du Président-François-Mitterrand, and opened a school there for his party's cadres. The RN 20 bypass, completed in 1954, gave the Grande Rue back to the town; the A6 motorway opened to the north-east in 1960.
The population rose from 3 637 inhabitants in 1954 to 18 170 in 1975. The southern plateau was then covered with residential estates: Villa Saint-Martin in 1960, les Coteaux in 1965, Bel-Air and les Arcades in 1967, la Rocade in 1968. Today the municipality has 21 996 inhabitants (INSEE, the French statistics institute, 2023); 71,6 % of homes are apartments and 41,8 % of main residences were completed between 1971 and 1990. In 2023, the urban renewal agreement for Rocade-Bel Air was signed, and the T12 tram-train replaced the RER C on the Grande Ceinture line.
Longjumeau sells at 2 768 €/m² for an apartment, in a municipality where 71,6 % of homes are apartments. It has 53,2 % owner-occupiers and 45,0 % tenants, including 24,8 % tenants in social housing. The buyer profile is that of working people from the south of the Île-de-France region, of families and first-time buyers, and of investors targeting the letting of small units, which sell on average at 3 793 €/m² for a studio or T1 (one-room flat). Three points to know before buying. The first is the weight of Centre-ville, which accounts for 107 of the 147 annual sales: even within the centre, the north of the Grande Rue and the area around the place de Bretten sell for more than the Peupleraie towers and the streets near the town hall. The second is the southern plateau, where Voie du Sud and Les Coteaux sit 7 % and 21 % below the average: these are condominiums from the 1960s and 1970s, whose value depends on their condition, service charges and energy performance. The third is the trend: the municipality has fallen 6 % over five years, after a peak of 3 107 €/m² in 2022, and 3,0 % over twelve months.
The average price in Longjumeau is 2 768 €/m² for an apartment (actual DVF transactions, notarised sales), within a range of 2 242 to 3 121 €/m² depending on the district. Property portals show asking prices, 10 to 20 % above the prices actually recorded.
Centre-ville, at 2 849 €/m², 3 % above the municipality-wide average. Voie du Sud follows at 2 572 €/m², then Les Coteaux at 2 192 €/m². Within Centre-ville, the north of the Grande Rue and the area around the place de Bretten are at the top of the range.
Yes, over time: the average apartment price went from 2 952 €/m² in 2021 to 2 768 in 2026, around 6 % less, after a peak of 3 107 €/m² in 2022. Over twelve months, it has fallen 3,0 %. All three districts are down over five years.
No. Since 10 December 2023, the Grande Ceinture line has been operated by the T12 tram-train, between Massy-Palaiseau and Évry-Courcouronnes. The municipality has two stations, Longjumeau to the north and Gravigny-Balizy to the east. The RER C remains accessible by changing at Massy-Palaiseau and at Épinay-sur-Orge.
Houses sell at 3 529 €/m², 27 % more than apartments at 2 768 €/m². Houses account for only 27,3 % of homes in the municipality, found mainly in Balizy and Gravigny, to the east.
At 2 192 €/m², Les Coteaux sits 21 % below the municipality-wide average. Sales there concern a single condominium built in 1965, on the rue du Docteur-Roux, made up mostly of large homes. The price reflects the age and condition of the building more than its location.
