Var is a department of France situated within the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. This coastal territory stretches from its Mediterranean shoreline up to the montagne de Lachens, its highest point. It shares land borders with the departments of Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, Alpes-Maritimes, Bouches-du-Rhône, and Vaucluse.
The department is a expensive part of France to buy property, with prices sitting well above the national average. Toulon holds the largest share of the housing stock, followed by Fréjus and La Seyne-sur-Mer. Property values vary significantly across these coastal towns and cities. Toulon and La Seyne-sur-Mer represent the more affordable urban markets in the department, with prices falling far below the regional average. In contrast, Sainte-Maxime is the most expensive of the main residential areas, with Saint-Raphaël also commanding premium prices that exceed the average for Var.
