The average price of apartments in Meudon stands at 5 062 €/m². That average covers a highly contrasted territory, where the post-war housing estates of the Meudon-la-Forêt plateau sit alongside the bourgeois blocks of Bellevue, the small developments of the Val Fleury and the recent schemes of the bas Meudon, along the Seine. Closeness to a station, the aspect on the hillsides and the open view over Paris weigh heavily on the gaps. These values come from the DVF database, which records the transactions actually registered before notaries, and not the prices asked in listings.

The first driver of the Meudon market is the scarcity of land. With 46 334 inhabitants on 9,9 square kilometres, nearly half of it state forest, the municipality can no longer spread out: new supply comes from the conversion of the sites of the bas Meudon, along the Seine, and from rare comprehensive schemes. The stock is old in its broad masses, more than half of the dwellings dating from 1946 to 1970 according to INSEE, which gives growing weight to energy renovation in negotiations. The volume of trade remains steady, at around 372 sales a year.
The second driver is the position of the municipality between Paris and the employment hubs of the west. Meudon is linked to Montparnasse by Line N, to Paris rive gauche by the RER C, to La Défense by the T2 tram and to the Vélizy plateau by the T6 since December 2014. That multiple service sustains steady demand from families weighing up Meudon against the neighbouring municipalities. The town also hosts research activity around the observatory and the Bellevue laboratories, which feeds regular rental demand.
Meudon sits in the middle of the range for the residential municipalities of the west of the Hauts-de-Seine. It remains clearly below Boulogne-Billancourt, its neighbour to the north, and slightly behind Ville-d'Avray and Marnes-la-Coquette, two smaller and more suburban municipalities.
The name Meudon derives from the Gaulish metelo-dunon, the hill of the harvesters, latinised as Moldunum. The place is mentioned in the texts as early as 769 and the abbey of Saint-Germain held land there from the 12th century. The estate passed in 1539 to cardinal Antoine Sanguin, then to Anne de Pisseleu, to cardinal Charles de Lorraine and to Henri de Guise in 1574. Abel Servien acquired it in 1654 and had the great terrace laid out, which still structures the landscape. Louvois bought it back in 1679 and carried on the works, before the estate returned to the Crown and welcomed the Grand Dauphin, son of Louis XIV, until his death in 1711.
The new château burned down in 1871, during the Franco-Prussian war. Its remains were refitted from 1876 to house the astrophysics observatory founded by Jules Janssen, whose dome for the great refractor still dominates the terrace. In the same period, the hangar Y was re-erected in 1879 on the estate, after serving as the machine gallery of the 1878 Universal Exhibition. It housed the airship La France, which in 1884 made the first flight in a closed circuit, and was listed as a historic monument in 2000, before reopening to the public in March 2023. Auguste Rodin, for his part, settled at the villa des Brillants, now a museum.
In the 20th century, the municipality tipped into the Paris conurbation. The bas Meudon, on the banks of the Seine, took in industrial activity, while the hillsides filled with houses and villas. The decisive turning point was the creation of Meudon-la-Forêt, a vast housing scheme designed by the architect Fernand Pouillon and built between 1959 and 1968 on the plateau, which today houses around 14 000 inhabitants. According to INSEE, the French national statistics institute, more than half of the municipal stock dates from 1946 to 1970. The state forest covers nearly half of the 9,9 square kilometres of the municipality, whose highest point, at 179 metres, is the highest in the inner suburbs.
Meudon has 46 334 inhabitants. According to INSEE, the municipality totals nearly 22 900 dwellings, of which 91 % are main residences and only 2 % second homes: the market is that of a town lived in year-round. Apartments account for 86 % of the stock and houses a little more than 13 %, concentrated on the hillsides of Bellevue and the Val Fleury. Close to 52 % of households own their home, a high proportion for the inner suburbs, which reflects a lasting family footing. Buyers are above all families and working couples employed in Paris, in Boulogne-Billancourt or on the Vélizy plateau.
The average price of apartments recorded in Meudon is 5 062 €/m². It comes from the DVF database, which records the sales registered before notaries, and not the prices asked in listings. That average hides wide gaps between the Meudon-la-Forêt plateau and the hillsides of Bellevue. A specific property departs from it according to its sector, its storey, its view and its energy performance rating.
The municipality reads as clearly distinct entities. Bellevue, on the hillside, brings together villas and bourgeois blocks with a view over Paris. The town centre, around the town hall, is the most built-up and the most commercial sector. The Val Fleury mixes small houses and developments around its station. Meudon-la-Forêt, on the plateau, corresponds to the estate built between 1959 and 1968 on the edge of the forest. The bas Meudon, a former working-class district on the banks of the Seine, is being renewed through recent schemes.
Meudon has several stations and two tram lines. Line N of the Transilien serves the Meudon and Bellevue stations from Paris Montparnasse. The RER C stops at Meudon Val Fleury. The T2 tram runs along the Seine with the Meudon-sur-Seine stop, towards La Défense on one side and Paris on the other. On the plateau, the T6, opened in December 2014, serves Meudon-la-Forêt and Georges Millandy, between Châtillon and Viroflay.
Yes, but supply remains limited. According to INSEE, houses account for a little more than 13 % of the housing stock, that is around 3 000 properties. They are concentrated on the hillsides, in Bellevue, in the Val Fleury and on the edge of the forest. The house and villa segment trades at around 8 461 €/m², close to 67 % above the average for apartments. Sloping plots and open views over Paris explain part of that gap.
The territory is heavily constrained. The state forest occupies nearly half of the 9,9 square kilometres of the municipality and rules out any urban extension to the south. The surroundings of the terrace, of the observatory and of the hangar Y, listed in 2000, come under historic monument protection. The hillsides, steep, finally make building work more complicated. The bulk of the market therefore involves resale within the existing stock rather than new schemes.
