The furnished rental real estate market in Aix-en-Provence

Aix-en-Provence, the City of a thousand fountains

Aix-en-Provence is located in the Bouches du Rhône department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte-d'Azur region. It has more than 147,000 inhabitants, its area is more than 180 km2. The urban area that it forms with the city of Marseille has more than 1.6 million inhabitants. This puts it in third place behind Paris and Lyon. Aix is surrounded by unspoiled countryside with notably Provencal bastides and French gardens. It is the richest city in terms of heritage after Paris thanks to its 140 listed monuments. Indeed, the town has a very rich architectural heritage, particularly in its historic center. It is also a student city with its many universities and colleges. There are more than 35,000 students in the city. It attracts people with its dynamism and its human size. However, its exceptional living environment comes at a cost. Many people refer to Aix as the little Paris.

The city is also known for its dynamic and human scale..

The housing shortage in Aix-en-Provence is very strong

We speak of a housing shortage when the rental market experiences an imbalance between supply and demand. In short, tenants often struggle to find furnished accommodation.

As in nearly 60% of cities in France, Aix-en-Provence suffers from a very strong and even extreme shortage of furnished accommodation: there is at least twice as much demand as supply.

We count in Aix-en-Provence about between 2 and 4 times more demands than offers.

What type of accommodation to choose to stay in Aix-en-Provence ? 

The type of accommodation is defined by two main criteria.

In real estate jargon, housing types are categorized according to what is called an attribute (T1, T2, T3, T4, etc.). This attribute indicates the number of living rooms: the living room and the bedroom(s). Thus, a T1 apartment is a dwelling which is composed of only one room, a T2 apartment which contains two rooms etc.

We can also categorize the types of accommodation according to the mode of rental. We will then find the following types of accommodation: entire accommodation, shared accommodation, residence, homestay, accommodation in exchange for services, CROUS, etc.

• 45% of furnished accommodation offered to Aix-en-Provence are studios or T1

• 22% of furnished apartments for rent are one-bedroom from Aix-en-Provence apartments 

• 66% of the furnished rental offer in la cité aixoise concerns apartments T3 or more

What surface for a furnished apartment in Aix-en-Provence? 

The type of accommodation only indicates the number of rooms and not the size of the apartment. Thus, a T1 apartment can be larger than a T3 apartment. It is therefore necessary to take an interest in its surface! 

• 25% of accommodations is less than 40m²

• The size of 60% of accommodations is between 40 and 99m²

• It is necessary to count a surface of more than 100m² for 15% of rental apartments in Aix-en-Provence

What is the average rent for renting a furnished apartment in Aix-en-Provence? 

The average rent per m² is 19€/sq.m. A tenant will have to provide on average 665€/month to stay in a furnished apartment in Aix-en-Provence. 

It is necessary to count a budget, charges included, of:

• 530€/month for a studio or a one-bedroom apartment,

• 720€/month for a two-bedroom apartment,

• 970€/month for a T3 apartment, including the entire accommodation offered for shared accommodation.

Rents for a furnished apartment in Aix-en-Provence or in its periphery vary greatly depending on the location and type of housing.
