City Centre · Les Halles, the beating heart and the top of the market
Between Place Clemenceau, the Les Halles market and the shopping streets running towards the Grande Plage, the centre of Biarritz concentrates everything that makes the city live year-round: the shops, the cafés, the neighbourhood life around the morning market, and an address a few minutes' walk from both the beach and the Port Vieux.
It is the Biarritz of the locals as much as of the second homes, and this double demand explains a permanently tight market: everyone wants the centre, nobody wants to leave it.
2,257 apartment sales analysed in the neighbourhood between 2019 and 2025.

The neighbourhood market, beyond the figures
€8,321/m² on average for apartments: on 2024–2025 sales, City Centre · Les Halles is the most expensive neighbourhood in Biarritz, ahead of the Impérial itself. Demand is fuelled by mid-sized units, one- and two-bedroom apartments, highly sought after as main homes, pieds-à-terre and rental investments alike: the scarcity of central land does the rest.
The +23% rise since 2019 came in steps, with a 2022–2023 peak followed by a stabilisation at a high level. Town houses, a small thirty recent sales at around €9,291/m², are a fiercely contested niche market: rare, often with a patio or terrace rather than a garden, they sell fast. To sell in the centre, the timing is always right; to buy, better know the real value of the street before making an offer.
