Liévin, the surprise of the mining basin
About 40 km southwest of Lille, Liévin charms with its blend of history and vibrant cultural life, especially thanks to its proximity to Lens and the famous Louvre-Lens. The setting is urban, with schools and sports facilities, but the city still struggles to attract people in large numbers, which keeps prices down. The result: -17.8% in three years, with an average price of around €1,276/m². For families and investors looking for peace and space without wandering too far, this is a great deal not to miss.

Why these drops?
The trend can be explained by several factors: the rise in interest rates limiting purchasing power, an excess supply in certain suburban areas, post-Covid normalization after rapid increases, and a gradual return to better-connected cities that offer a desirable living environment.
