Mayenne is a department of France located within the Pays de la Loire region. It shares borders with the departments of Orne, Ille-et-Vilaine, Maine-et-Loire, Sarthe, and Manche. The physical terrain of the area rises to its highest point at Mont des Avaloirs.
The department is a relatively cheap part of France to buy property, with average prices sitting well below the national average. The bulk of the housing stock is concentrated in Laval, which holds far more of the market than any other municipality. Smaller shares of the housing are found in towns like Bonchamp-lès-Laval and Louverné. While properties in Laval itself align closely with the regional average price, buyers will find the most expensive homes in Sainte-Suzanne-et-Chammes and Château-Gontier-sur-Mayenne, which are significantly dearer than the department average.
