Property Prices in Saint-Martin-d'Hères2026 property valuation

The Saint-Martin-d'Hères market is that of a university town on the edge of Grenoble, served by three tramway lines. With an average price of around 2 336 €/m² for an apartment and about 3 721 €/m² for a house, Saint-Martin-d'Hères sits clearly below the levels of the city centre, with a gain of about 7 % over five years and a flat reading over the last twelve months.

Geography draws the price map. The north, around the university campus, Neyrpic, Les Taillées and La Plaine, shows the highest levels, supported by student rental demand and by recent developments. The south, from Paul Éluard to Les Alloves by way of Paul Bert, remains the most affordable. The town records about 312 transactions a year in total: at the scale of a district, volumes are modest and annual averages move quickly.

Saint-Martin-d'Hères is the second town of the Grenoble metropolitan area, east of Grenoble, at the foot of the Belledonne range. Long a farming commune organised around its village, it saw its first growth at the end of the nineteenth century with the industrialisation of the Croix-Rouge area, then strong urban expansion after the war.

Since the 1960s the town has hosted most of the Grenoble university campus, shared with Gières, which today houses the Université Grenoble Alpes and its libraries. The north of the town was rebuilt around that campus, served by the tramway, and around the former Neyrpic industrial site, which became a retail and leisure hub in October 2024. To the south, Le Village keeps its old heart around the place de la Liberté.

The geography of prices follows this pattern. The north, around the campus, Neyrpic, Les Taillées and La Plaine, is gaining in value, carried by student demand and by recent developments. The southern districts, from Paul Éluard to Les Alloves, remain the most affordable in the town.
