With an average price around 3 061 €/m², Martigues sits at the level of a mid-sized town on the Étang de Berre, more affordable than the most prized municipalities of the Bouches-du-Rhône coast. Its canals, its nickname of Provençal Venice and its setting between lagoon and Mediterranean make it a town sought after by buyers and families.
Martigues is a town in the Bouches-du-Rhône, on the Étang de Berre and the Caronte canal that links the lagoon to the Mediterranean. Its canals, its bridges and its water make it known as the Provençal Venice. The town was born in 1581 from the union of three historic districts that have remained distinct, Jonquières to the south, Ferrières to the north and l'Île at the centre, between the canals.
The mirror of waters and the canals of Martigues were painted by artists such as Félix Ziem and Corot. The municipality stretches from the Côte Bleue, on the Mediterranean coast to the south, to the northern districts such as Croix-Sainte and its harbour. It also has large housing estates, Canto-Perdrix, Notre-Dame-des-Marins and La Colline, and, to the west, the Lavéra petrochemical zone.
The geography of prices follows this history: the seafront of the Côte Bleue and the residential areas in the east are gaining value, the historic centre forms an intermediate market, while the large estates in the north remain the most affordable.
The Martigues market attracts first-time buyers, families, people working in the industrial and port basin of the Étang de Berre, and investors.

The maritime setting, between lagoon and Mediterranean, and prices that stay measured for the Bouches-du-Rhône coast keep interest in the town alive.
