Apartments in Orly sell at an average price of around 3 288 €/m², based on transactions actually recorded (DVF data, the French database that records sales actually registered before notaries). Prices run from around 2 740 €/m² in Calmette to 3 708 €/m² in Vieil Orly, a gap of 35 %. Houses, at 4 437 €/m², trade well above apartments, which is the rule in the inner suburbs of Paris: houses make up only 21,8 % of the stock and their value rests largely on the land. The market is narrow, 63 apartment sales a year for 24 658 inhabitants, because a large part of the stock is social housing and is not sold off unit by unit.

The average price per m² for an apartment in each district of Orly covered by Immover, ranked from the most expensive to the most affordable.
The Orly market is flat over five years and picking up over twelve months. The average apartment price was 3 301 €/m² in 2021, it is 3 288 in 2026, that is complete stability over the period, but it gains 4,9 % over the last twelve months. The recovery comes from the only two districts where volume is significant: Vieil Orly, up 8,8 %, and Calmette, up 9,2 %. The other three sectors are easing back, but on four to ten annual sales each: these are sample variations, not trends.
Two features shape this market and deserve to be set out together. The first is how narrow it is: 63 apartment sales a year for 24 658 inhabitants, when a commune of comparable size turns over more like one hundred and thirty. The cause is known, it lies in the share of social housing, whose priority neighbourhood covers 43 % of the communal population. The second is the disconnect between transport and price. The two RER C stations and the terminus of the T9 tram are in the same sector, Le Nouvelet, which is the second cheapest in the commune. The urban renewal under way until 2035, with 1 136 new homes to come, is what can move that ranking in the years ahead, and it is the point to watch.
Orly compared with the major French cities, on the average price per m² of an apartment.
Orly is a village of the market-gardening plain south of Paris that became, within one generation, a town of post-war housing estates. The old core, around the church and today's avenue des Martyrs-de-Châteaubriant, has remained legible and still carries the name Vieil Orly. Almost everything else dates from the second half of the twentieth century.
The commune gives its name to the aéroport de Paris-Orly, and that is a permanent source of confusion which is best cleared up. The airport platform extends over several communes of the Val-de-Marne and the Essonne, and its terminals are for the most part in Paray-Vieille-Poste, in the Essonne. Orly gives it its name and carries part of its footprint. The economic consequence, on the other hand, is very real: INSEE, the French national statistics institute, measures an employment concentration index of 235,1, that is nearly two and a half jobs for every working resident, the highest of all the communes we have covered.
The housing estate was built from the end of the 1950s on the market-gardening land in the east of the commune: the cités des Navigateurs and des Aviateurs, la Pierre au Prêtre, Calmette, Les Saules. It explains the current structure of the stock, 78,2 % flats with 61,7 % tenants, and the social structure of the town: the priority neighbourhood QN09428M, known as Quartier Est, covers 52 hectares and 10 672 inhabitants, that is 43 % of the communal population, with a poverty rate of 31 % and 34,3 % single-parent families.
Since 2019, that estate has been a building site. The urban renewal project "Racine et Saules", run with Valophis and ANRU, the French national urban renewal agency, until 2035, covers five sectors: Pierre au Prêtre-Racine, Calmette Nord, les Navigateurs, les Aviateurs and Les Saules. It provides for 737 demolitions, 376 refurbishments and 1 136 new homes, a quarter of them social housing, sixteen facilities created or renovated, 377 trees planted and two additional hectares of green space. A micro-forest of a thousand trees was planted at les Aviateurs at the end of 2023, the parc Jean-Mermoz is to be extended by 2027, and the first housing deliveries are expected from 2026. On the transport side, the decade has been more favourable still: the T9 tram has linked the porte de Choisy to the centre of Orly since 10 April 2021, and it carried 22,7 million passengers in 2025.
Orly is bought first of all for an entry price into the Métropole du Grand Paris: 3 288 €/m² a few minutes by tram from the porte de Choisy is a third less than the communes bordering the ring road. The dominant profile is that of first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors, on a stock that is 78,2 % flats and where 61,7 % of residents are tenants. Three points to know before buying. The first is counter-intuitive and it is the most useful: transport does not make the price here. The district that concentrates the two RER C stations and the T9 terminus, Le Nouvelet, is the second cheapest in the commune. What makes the price is the status of the building and its period, not the distance to the station. The second is volume: only 63 apartment sales a year, because a large share of the stock is social housing and is not sold off unit by unit. The market is therefore not very liquid, and a valuation calls for precision there. The third is the building site: urban renewal runs until 2035 across five sectors, with demolitions already carried out and deliveries from 2026. Depending on the address, it is a medium-term nuisance or a gain in value to come, and that has to be checked street by street.
The average price in Orly is 3 288 €/m² for an apartment (actual DVF transactions, notarised sales), within a range of 2 744 to 3 796 €/m² depending on the district. Property portals show asking prices, 10 to 20 % above the prices actually recorded.
Only partly, and it is a frequent confusion. The airport platform extends over several communes of the Val-de-Marne and the Essonne, and its terminals are for the most part in Paray-Vieille-Poste, in the Essonne. Orly gives it its name and carries part of its footprint. The southern terminus of metro line 14, opened on 24 June 2024, serves the Aéroport d'Orly station, on the platform, and not the town centre of the commune.
By the T9 tram, which has linked the porte de Choisy to the centre of Orly since 10 April 2021 along the departmental road D5, and which carried 22,7 million passengers in 2025. And by RER C, with two stations in the commune, Orly-Ville and Les Saules, the latter with a direct interchange with the T9. Metro line 14 and the T7 tram serve the airport, not the centre of the commune.
Vieil Orly, the old village core and the administrative centre, at 3 708 €/m², that is 13 % above the communal average and 35 % above Calmette. It is also the sector that records the most sales, twenty-one a year, in other words the only district of Orly where the private flat market is genuinely liquid.
Not in the expected way, and it is the most useful point to know about this market. The geographic check places the two RER C stations and the T9 terminus in the same sector, Le Nouvelet, which comes out at 2 824 €/m² when Vieil Orly is at 3 708. What makes the price in Orly is the status of the building and its period of construction, not the distance to the station. The tram has improved daily life in the commune without redrawing its price ranking.
Four sectors do not record enough single-lot apartment sales for a price to be defensible: les Navigateurs, les Aviateurs, la Pierre au Prêtre and Carrières-Sentiers. The first three are components of the post-war housing estate and of the urban renewal project, where the stock is overwhelmingly social housing: social housing is not sold off unit by unit. The fourth, in the west, is low-rise detached housing. We do not publish an apartment price where there is no market to describe.
It will change them, but you have to look at the address. The "Racine et Saules" project runs until 2035 across five sectors, with 737 demolitions, 376 refurbishments and 1 136 new homes, a quarter of them social housing, sixteen facilities and two additional hectares of green space. The first deliveries are expected from 2026. Depending on whether your property is inside the works perimeter, on its edge or outside it, the effect is a medium-term nuisance or a gain in value to come.
