Hérault is a department of France located in the southern Occitania region. It sits along the Gulf of Lion, which forms its coastline, and shares borders with the departments of Aude, Aveyron, Gard, and Tarn.
The housing market in Hérault is priced very close to the national average for France. Montpellier holds far more of the housing stock than anywhere else in the department, with prices that align with the regional average. Béziers and the coastal town of Agde contain the next largest concentrations of homes, both offering more affordable options than the department average. For more expensive properties, buyers look to Mauguio and Castelnau-le-Lez, where prices are significantly higher than the regional norm, while Sète and La Grande-Motte sit right at the average.
