Nord is a French department situated in the northernmost part of the country, within the Hauts-de-France region. It shares a land border with the departments of Pas-de-Calais, Aisne, and Somme, as well as a national border with the Belgian provinces of West Flanders and Hainaut.
The department is generally a cheaper place to buy property than the French average. Lille holds far more of the housing stock than any other city in the department, with prices sitting just above the regional average. Dunkirk, Roubaix, and Tourcoing also contain notable shares of the local market, though their prices vary. Dunkirk is more expensive than the regional average, while Roubaix and Tourcoing are cheaper. The most expensive homes are found in Marcq-en-Barœul, where prices are well above those of Lille. Conversely, Valenciennes stands out as a particularly affordable option, with prices sitting far below the regional average.
