Hérouville-Saint-Clair Property Prices, Rents & Rental Yields

About Hérouville-Saint-Clair

Hérouville-Saint-Clair sits just north of Caen, with the feel of an urban commune shaped by quick access to the city, local services, and the wider Calvados setting. For apartment investors, it is a location where everyday practicality and regional connectivity remain central to the story.

April 2026 brought the clearest signal of the month: prices moved higher, but rental gains did not keep pace. The average apartment sale price reached €163,750, while the average price per square metre climbed to €2,873, up 7.5% month on month. At the same time, the average rent was €511, rising only 3.1% over the month. That gap matters, because the current yield stands at 4.47% and suggests that higher acquisition costs are not being matched by equivalent rental acceleration.

The longer view reinforces that tension. Compared with a year earlier, the average sale price is down 8.3%, yet the average m² price is still up 2.7%, pointing to a market that has not moved in one straight line. Rents tell a softer story still, with the average apartment rent down 19.0% year on year. For buyers focused on income, April’s mix of firmer pricing and weaker annual rent levels leaves returns more sensitive to entry price and unit-level execution.
