In Quint-Fonsegrives, the average apartment price stands at 3 495 €/m², based on sales actually registered in DVF data, the French notarised sales database. This level, among the highest in the eastern Toulouse area, reflects the status of a residential municipality in high demand, at the gates of Toulouse. The housing stock combines houses on residential estates, villas on the hillsides and more recent apartment developments. Location, proximity to the main city, floor area, the condition of the property and its energy performance explain most of the variation. These notarial figures provide a municipal benchmark; a reliable valuation then relies on comparable properties, assessed case by case.

The Quint-Fonsegrives market is driven by the momentum of the Toulouse metropolitan area, which gains several thousand inhabitants every year. An affluent residential municipality in the east of the conurbation, it attracts families and managers looking for a green setting close to the main city. This strong demand meets constrained supply, dominated by detached houses on spacious plots, where land is becoming scarce. The combination of strong appeal and limited supply explains why prices remain among the highest in the eastern Toulouse area.
Value is concentrated in properties offering space, quiet and proximity to services and to Toulouse. Energy performance weighs increasingly in negotiations, and a house with a good rating on an attractive plot quickly finds a buyer. The continuing spread of the Toulouse conurbation towards the east supports demand, while the scarcity of building land limits new supply. These factors sustain lasting pressure on a main-residence market that is less speculative but markedly more expensive than the average of the surrounding municipalities.
Quint-Fonsegrives ranks among the most expensive municipalities in the eastern Toulouse area, above Saint-Orens-de-Gameville and Launaguet, at a level close to Toulouse.
Quint-Fonsegrives brings together two places with an ancient history, east of Toulouse. The name Quint is thought to come from Quintus, the fifth milestone on the Roman road leading out of Toulouse, a sign of settlement as early as the Gallo-Roman period. Fonsegrives, from fons sacriva, the sacred spring, refers to springs probably venerated as early as the Celtic period. In the Middle Ages, the lordship of Quint belonged to the Rouaix family. These ancient roots anchor the village long before it became a residential municipality in the Toulouse suburbs, on the first hillsides of the Lauragais.
Until the Revolution, several Toulouse families owned land in the municipality. Among other crops, woad (pastel) was grown there, a plant whose leaves provided a precious blue dye that made the fortune of the Toulouse region during the Renaissance. Two woad mills are recorded there. The village then remained a small agricultural parish, devoted to crops and livestock on the hillsides of the Lauragais, away from the main roads. This rural vocation persisted throughout the 19th century, before the upheavals linked to the rise of Toulouse.
Long simply called Quint, the municipality officially took the name Quint-Fonsegrives in 1992, confirming the association of the two places. From the 1970s onwards, it moved into the orbit of Toulouse: its population, around 750 inhabitants in 1968, grew rapidly, particularly in the 1990s, and now exceeds 6 000 inhabitants. The hillsides filled with housing estates and residential developments. The municipality now combines a village core, neighbourhoods of detached houses and facilities that make it a highly sought suburb of eastern Toulouse.
Quint-Fonsegrives has around 6 133 inhabitants, according to INSEE, the French statistics institute, and is an affluent residential municipality east of Toulouse. The market is overwhelmingly geared towards main residences and home ownership, with a large share of detached houses. Buyers are mainly families and managers working in Toulouse or in the employment hubs of the metropolitan area, drawn by the green setting of the hillsides, the quality of facilities and the proximity of the main city. Apartments remain a minority and mainly concern recent developments. This profile, in high demand, explains prices among the highest in the eastern Toulouse area.
The average apartment price in Quint-Fonsegrives is 3 495 €/m², based on DVF transactions completed before notaries. This average covers a residential municipality in high demand in the eastern Toulouse area, from the old village to the neighbourhoods of detached houses. Location, proximity to Toulouse, floor area, condition and the energy rating of the property explain most of the variation. For a reliable valuation, it is better to rely on recent sales of comparable properties than on the municipal average alone.
The municipality is one of the most sought after in the eastern Toulouse area. Its immediate proximity to Toulouse, its green setting on the hillsides of the Lauragais, and the quality of its facilities and schools make it a popular destination for families and managers. Strong demand meets limited supply, dominated by detached houses on often spacious plots. This combination of appeal and scarce land keeps prices above those of many neighbouring municipalities.
Villas on the hillsides, in quiet, tree-lined residential neighbourhoods, are among the most highly valued properties. The areas close to the village centre, shops and schools are also in demand for their convenience. Proximity to Toulouse and to the roads leading to the main city weighs heavily on prices. The size of the plot, its orientation and the immediate surroundings count as much as living space in the hierarchy of values within the municipality.
The market is very largely dominated by detached houses, often with a garden, in keeping with the residential character of the municipality. Apartments remain a minority and are concentrated in recent developments, popular with first-time buyers and investors. The choice depends on budget, household composition and desired lifestyle. Given the price level, a house often represents a much higher budget than an apartment, for a comparable floor area.
The municipality is linked to Toulouse by the main roads of the eastern part of the conurbation, which provide quick access to the main city and the ring road. Bus lines of the conurbation network also serve the municipality. This good accessibility, combined with a quiet residential setting, is one of the drivers of the appeal, and therefore of the property values, of Quint-Fonsegrives, which is very popular with people working in Toulouse.
