Landes is a department of France located in the southwestern Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. It is a large territory that shares borders with the departments of Gironde, Lot-et-Garonne, Gers, and Pyrénées-Atlantiques. The region is defined by its long Atlantic coastline to the west and its vast, flat forested terrain, which stretches across most of the interior.
The housing market in Landes is slightly cheaper than the French national average, though prices vary significantly between the coast and the interior. Dax holds the largest share of the housing stock, offering relatively inexpensive homes compared to the regional average. Mont-de-Marsan, the administrative capital, is even more affordable but holds a smaller portion of the region's properties. In contrast, the coastal resort town of Capbreton is the most expensive market by a wide margin, with prices that far exceed those found in the inland towns or even other coastal communities like Biscarrosse and Mimizan.
