Somme is a department of France located in the northern Hauts-de-France region. It shares borders with the departments of Pas-de-Calais, Nord, Aisne, Oise, and Seine-Maritime. The area is defined by the path of the Somme river, which flows through the terrain toward the English Channel, creating a distinctive coastline along its western edge.
The housing market in Somme is generally cheap compared to the rest of France. Most of the region's housing is concentrated in Amiens, which sits near the regional average for property prices. Outside of this main city, the smaller towns show significant price differences. Longueau holds a large portion of the remaining homes and stands out as the most expensive town in the department. Along the coast, buyers find smaller markets like Cayeux-sur-Mer, which is relatively inexpensive, and Le Crotoy, where prices are slightly higher. Saint-Valery-sur-Somme represents a much smaller but highly priced coastal market, costing far more than the regional average.
