Drôme is a department of France located within the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. It is bordered by the departments of Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, Ardèche, Isère, Hautes-Alpes, and Vaucluse. The terrain rises to its highest point at Rocher Rond, reflecting a landscape that transitions from river valleys to high alpine peaks.
The local housing market is priced very close to the national average for France. Valence holds far more of the housing stock than any other municipality, followed by Montélimar and Romans-sur-Isère. These major residential centres are also among the more affordable parts of the department. By contrast, smaller communes like Portes-lès-Valence and Montboucher-sur-Jabron are much more expensive, with property prices there sitting well above the regional average.
