The market for houses and villas in Pau

The market for houses and villas in Pau reflects a long-established residential heritage, largely shaped between the late 19th century and the early decades of the 20th century. The local housing stock is mainly composed of Art Deco townhouses, 1930s villas and bourgeois homes set on landscaped plots, particularly within the residential districts located to the east and south of the city centre.

The presence of private gardens, spacious interiors and properties set back from the street plays a key role in the appeal of houses in Pau, especially in well-established residential areas close to Parc Beaumont.

Which areas should you consider when buying a house in Pau?

When planning the purchase of a house in Pau, streets surrounding Parc Beaumont, the residential heights of Trespoey and selected sections of Saint-Dominique rank among the most sought-after locations. These neighbourhoods are known for detached houses with gardens and, in some cases, swimming pools, within calm and clearly defined residential surroundings.

Houses offering an elevated position, a private garden within the city or open views towards the Gave de Pau or the Pyrenees continue to attract sustained interest and retain long-term appeal on the local market.

What is the price per sq.m of a house in Pau?

The price per sq.m of a house in Pau typically ranges between €1,900 and €2,800, depending on the exact location, plot size and overall condition of the property. Period homes located close to Parc Beaumont or within established residential districts generally position themselves at the upper end of this range.

Villas in Pau, particularly those located in Trespoey or on discreet residential streets with limited traffic, reach values of around €3,500 per sq.m and above when they combine landscaped gardens, swimming pools, generous floor plans and a distinctive architectural character.

Which houses and villas are most sought-after in Pau?

The most sought-after houses and villas in Pau include character villas located in Trespoey, Art Deco houses with gardens and period homes offering comfortable living space combined with substantial land. These properties appeal to buyers seeking a primary residence or a long-term investment within a well-established residential area.

As an illustration, BARNES Côte Basque recently managed the sale of a 1930s Art Deco villa in Pau offering approximately 240 sq.m of living space, set on a plot of over 1,400 sq.m with a swimming pool, highlighting the depth and selectivity of the local housing market.
