In Lille, we count more or less between 2 and 4 times more demands than offers.

Housing is categorized using an attribute (T1, T2, T3, T4, etc.), which specifies the number of rooms apart from the kitchen and the bathroom(s). A T3 is therefore composed of three rooms, to which must be added the kitchen and the bathroom.

The Wazemmes district, affordable and dynamic

Wazemmes is a popular district perfectly integrated into the city of Lille, developed around the marketplace and the rue des Postes.

Bistro and bohemian life represent the modern social mix of this district. The standard of living is affordable and you will find everything you need to live at a lower cost. To eat fresh produce, head to the Halle de Wazemmes, open all week, and the famous market on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday mornings. Its market is one of the largest in Europe.

Léon Gambetta street is known for the dynamism of its many shops, attracting both locals and tourists. This street has become a flourishing street for eco-responsible businesses. Organic, zero waste and vegan stores have found customers in this very lively district.

In addition, it is very well served by Lille public transport. With an average price of around 3700 euros per m2, the Wazemmes district is much cheaper than Old Lille for example. Today, Wazemmes has become one of the most attractive districts of Lille, even if it still suffers from a bad reputation

Old Lille, the historic district

Lille's old district, known as the Golden Triangle, is located in the north of the city and is undoubtedly the most popular area for locals.

This district became a heritage site in 1980. Its perfectly restored historic buildings bring an unequaled charm to the district. If you are a young dynamic executive, this booming district will seduce you for sure.

The district is home to the most buildings dating from before the 19th century. In particular, the Cathedral Basilica of Notre-Dame-de-la-Treille, the Convent of the Minimes, the Church of Sainte-Marie-Madeleine and also the Porte de Gand.

The constructions of the district represent the characteristics of the architecture of Lille. We recognize the neo-Gothic style, but also Flemish. 

This particularly attractive sector is conducive to conviviality and has many advantages: structured cultural facilities, intensive arts, cultural and social life and strong commercial activities (restaurants and bars). The territory also knows how to preserve nature and enhance its site: the Plaine de la Poterne ecological garden covers 2.5 hectares and combines nature and heritage.

It is poorly served by its many pedestrian streets, but bicycles are welcome!

Old Lille retains its appeal and is particularly sought after by buyers. The prices displayed are therefore the highest prices in the city.<
