Mood illustration of Orgeval, a residential municipality of the Yvelines plateau above the loop of Poissy.
In Orgeval, the reference price stands at 4 119 €/m² for an apartment. That level places the municipality in the upper part of its sector, above the neighbouring towns of the loop of the Seine, without reaching the most sought-after municipalities of the west of the Paris region. These values come from DVF data, that is the transactions actually registered before notaries, and not from listing estimates. They give an order of magnitude: between the period houses of the village and the apartments of the recent schemes, each property still has to be assessed according to its floor area, its condition, its plot and its location.

The Orgeval market rests on steady demand from well-off households of the west of the Paris region, drawn by the compromise between a green setting and quick access to the employment hubs. That kind of market holds up better than average when the economic cycle turns, because demand there is not very elastic and the supply of houses with a plot is structurally limited. The volume of apartment sales remains modest, some fifteen a year, which makes the average sensitive to the mix of properties sold.
In the longer run, the path will depend on how the employment areas of the west of Paris develop and on the strengthening of links towards Paris, two factors that bear on the residential appeal of the plateau. Energy performance will play a growing role: on large houses, the gap in running costs between a renovated property and an energy-hungry one is becoming a central bargaining point.
Orgeval sits in the upper part of its sector: its prices exceed those of Poissy and Carrières-sous-Poissy, in the loop of the Seine, and stay below Saint-Nom-la-Bretèche, closer to Versailles.
Orgeval spreads over the plateau that overlooks the loop of the Seine at Poissy, some thirty kilometres west of Paris. The old village formed around its church and its farms, in a country of fertile loamy soils where the vine, then above all fruit growing, long held an important place. The slopes and the orchards of the plateau supplied the Paris markets until late in the 20th century.
Closeness to Paris made Orgeval a place of country retreat, then a place of permanent residence as the road links grew stronger. The opening of the Normandy motorway brought the plateau nearer to the capital and to La Défense, and the immediate neighbourhood of Poissy, marked by its car plant, anchored the municipality in a dense industrial and service employment area. The built fabric bears witness to that layered history: an old core, villas of the first decades of the 20th century, then upmarket suburban housing.
Orgeval is today known beyond the Yvelines for its retail park, set along the former trunk road and now one of the main home-equipment hubs of the west of the Paris region. That activity sits alongside a village that has stayed green, with its schools, its local shops and its wooded areas. The contrast between the retail hub and the residential character of the town is one of the features of the municipality.
According to INSEE, the French national statistics institute, Orgeval has around 7 252 inhabitants. The market speaks mainly to families and working professionals of the west of the Paris region, who are looking for a house with a garden in a green setting while staying within reach of La Défense and of the employment hubs of the Yvelines. Demand is mostly for a main residence, in a stock dominated by the upmarket detached house, completed by recent blocks of flats. The price level, above that of the neighbouring municipalities of the loop of the Seine, turns the market towards buyers already well advanced in their housing path.
The reference price in Orgeval stands at 4 119 €/m² for an apartment. That figure comes from DVF data, the sales actually signed before notaries. It is an average: a period house with a wooded plot and an apartment in a recent scheme depart markedly from that base, according to the floor area, the condition, the plot and the location within the municipality.
The Orgeval dealt with here lies in the Yvelines, on the plateau above Poissy, some thirty kilometres west of Paris. Another municipality of the same name exists in the Aisne, near Laon, with an unrelated market and much lower prices. The data on this page relate only to the Paris-region municipality.
Direct access to the Normandy motorway puts La Défense some thirty minutes away outside peak hours and Paris some forty. The nearby stations of Poissy and Villennes-sur-Seine offer a rail service towards Paris Saint-Lazare, and the RER A from Poissy. That double accessibility is one of the main springs of the local residential market.
The stock is made up very largely of detached houses, often on generous plots, which matches the dominant demand from families. The supply of apartments has grown with the recent schemes and suits a first purchase, a buy-to-let investment or households who wish to stay in the municipality while reducing their floor area.
The plateau is affected by clay shrinkage and swelling, a hazard common in Île-de-France that can affect the foundations of houses and should be checked before buying. Closeness to the main roads exposes some sectors to noise, which shows in values. The protection of wooded and farmed areas also governs what can be built. Consulting the local planning scheme at the town hall before any project remains essential.
