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

About Hérouville-Saint-Clair

Hérouville-Saint-Clair, just north of Caen in the Calvados department, combines urban convenience with a well-connected suburban setting. For apartment investors, it is a location shaped by its role within the wider Caen area, with local housing trends that can shift quickly from month to month.

August 2026 brings the clearest signal: pricing has softened again, but rents have only eased modestly, leaving investor returns comparatively resilient. The average apartment sale price stands at €139,050, after falling 8.8% month over month and 13.1% year over year. At the same time, the average rent is €590, down 4.6% on the month but still up 1.0% compared with last year.

That gap matters because the average price per square metre has also moved lower, now at €2,320, down 8.8% from the previous month and 12.3% over 12 months. In this setting, the reported yield of 6.0% looks supported more by weaker acquisition costs than by strong rent growth. For buyers focused on apartments, the message this month is less about momentum and more about the balance between cheaper entry levels and only gently changing rental income.
