In Lys-lez-Lannoy, the average price stands at 2 075 €/m². This average reflects a housing stock dominated by the brick houses typical of the Lille metropolitan area: terraced workers' houses, post-war detached homes and more recent housing developments. Apartments remain a minority. The immediate proximity of Roubaix and membership of the Métropole Européenne de Lille, the Lille metropolitan authority, weigh on values, which are more moderate than in the municipalities located towards Lille. This figure comes from DVF data, the French notarised sales database, which records transactions actually registered with notaries rather than listings. It serves as a general benchmark, to be adjusted according to the neighbourhood, the floor area and the condition of the property.

The Lys-lez-Lannoy market is supported first and foremost by its integration into the Métropole Européenne de Lille. The proximity of Roubaix, of transport lines and of the conurbation's employment areas sustains steady demand from families and first-time buyers. The price level, more affordable than towards Lille, attracts households unable to buy in the most expensive sectors of the metropolitan area. This role as a working-class municipality for first-time ownership structures the market and explains why transactions mainly concern medium-sized houses.
The conversion of the former textile area continues to weigh on the outlook. The refurbishment of the workers' housing, new-build developments and projects led by the metropolitan authority are gradually changing the supply. The proximity of the Belgian border adds a clientele of cross-border workers in some sectors. To follow the real change in prices, it is better to rely on DVF data, which reflect sales actually completed, rather than on asking prices in listings, which are often more optimistic in a market of this kind.
Lys-lez-Lannoy shows a moderate price level, close to that of Roubaix, below the more sought-after municipalities located towards Lille.
Lys-lez-Lannoy developed in the orbit of Lannoy, a small historic town of which it was long the rural extension. The word "lez", meaning "near", recalls this neighbourly link. Long a modest place, the locality had just over a thousand inhabitants in the mid-19th century. Growth came with the industrialisation that spread across the whole Roubaix and Tourcoing area. A sugar refinery was established as early as 1847, before textiles became the dominant activity, as across the whole north-eastern side of the metropolitan area, the historic heart of wool and cotton.
At the turn of the 20th century, the population grew rapidly, driven by the mills and the workers' courtyard housing that accompanied the textile industry. The municipality went from a few thousand inhabitants to a genuine industrial town, with its brick houses lined up along the streets. This dense urban fabric, inherited from the manufacturing era, still shapes today's landscape. The decline of textiles, from the 1960s and 1970s, transformed the local economy. A business park then developed across the territories of Lys, Toufflers and Leers, starting the conversion towards other sectors.
Today, Lys-lez-Lannoy is a residential municipality within the Métropole Européenne de Lille, which brings together most inter-municipal services. Attached to the canton of Croix since 2015, after belonging to that of Lannoy, it benefits from the proximity of Roubaix and the main roads of the conurbation. The industrial workers' heritage has been partly refurbished, and new homes complement the older buildings. The town keeps a working-class and family identity, with a stock of affordable houses that attracts households working in the metropolitan area. This industrial history explains the density and the present shape of the town.
Lys-lez-Lannoy has around 14 050 inhabitants according to INSEE, the French statistics institute, making it a mid-sized municipality of the Roubaix suburbs. The market is overwhelmingly residential and geared towards home ownership: the stock is dominated by houses, often terraced and built in brick, and main residences are by far the majority. Buyers are mainly families and first-time buyers looking for a house on a limited budget while staying connected to Roubaix, Lille and the wider metropolitan area. The proximity of Belgium and of the major employment centres sustains steady demand for this type of property.
The average price recorded in Lys-lez-Lannoy is 2 075 €/m². This figure is based on DVF data, the transactions actually registered with notaries. It varies with the type of property and the neighbourhood: a renovated house sells above the average, a home needing updating below it. To refine this benchmark and apply it to your property, the Immover online valuation takes its features into account.
The market is clearly dominated by houses. The stock consists mostly of terraced brick houses inherited from the industrial era, and of more recent detached homes. Apartments remain a minority and are concentrated in a few small residential buildings and new developments. For a buyer, the supply is therefore essentially the family house, with or without a garden. The Immover valuation distinguishes these segments to give a value suited to your home.
Lys-lez-Lannoy benefits from its place within the Métropole Européenne de Lille. Roubaix, a few kilometres away, offers access to the metro, the tramway and the regional rail network towards Lille and Belgium. The bus network serves the municipality and links it to the neighbouring stations. The main roads of the conurbation provide quick access to the employment centres. This good connection to metropolitan transport is one of the strengths of the local residential market.
Lys-lez-Lannoy lies in the eastern sector of the metropolitan area, around Roubaix, where property values have historically been lower than towards Lille and the residential municipalities of the west. The industrial heritage, the density of the older buildings and the working-class nature of the housing stock explain this positioning. For a buyer, this means access to a house on a more limited budget than in the centre of the metropolitan area, while staying close to the same employment areas.
The municipality mixes several generations of buildings. The dense older fabric lines up brick houses along streets inherited from the textile period. Detached housing estates and more recent developments complete the supply on the outskirts, with gardens and homes built to current standards. A few small residential buildings provide a share of apartments. This diversity allows for varied budgets, from the workers' house to renovate to the recent detached home, which the Immover valuation takes into account.
