Investing in a student city, a strategic choice
In rental investment, the choice of location is a key factor, and investing in a university town is a strategic decision. A strong student presence represents great opportunities for small furnished properties and quick rental.
To guide you, our experts have identified the twelve most attractive university towns according to three indicators:
The number of students

Marseille, Rouen, and Paris on the podium
Rouen is the most accessible city for small envelopes with a starting budget of only €85,000. With 45,000 students for 110,000 inhabitants, Rouen offers a great return on student metropolitan areas.
Marseille: The Phocaean city still offers excellent investment opportunities. The very good return displayed (4.5%) coupled with a pool of over 70,000 students attracts investors. To read our ranking of neighborhoods to prioritize in Marseille: click here
Paris: With 450,000 students studying in the capital, Paris has the largest pool of students in France. Despite high prices per m2, Parisian studios can achieve a 4% return, particularly due to a smaller average area compared to studios in the provinces.
The lowest yield in the study is in Lyon! The city suffers from rising prices and a stricter rent control, which is much more severe than in Paris. The minimum budget of €140,000 is also a deterrent.
