THE BEST CITIES TO LIVE AROUND LYON
Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes is one of the most dynamic and attractive regions in France. These advantages attract new residents every year, especially in the municipalities located near Lyon. Depending on the areas, these cities will meet your requirements if you are looking for a house in a calm and green environment, or a beautiful apartment located in the Lyon outskirts.
VILLEURBANNE, TO LIVE RIGHT NEXT TO LYON
Villeurbanne has several advantages for those looking for direct proximity to Lyon. Often considered the "10th arrondissement of Lyon," the municipality offers a significant offer of new housing (especially in the Gratte-ciel area) and numerous shops, restaurants, and sports clubs. Very dynamic, the city also has the advantage of being particularly well-served and is home to the Doua Campus, where student housing is a great opportunity for investors.

This prestigious municipality is undoubtedly one of the most upscale places around Lyon. Highly sought after by luxury real estate clients, Saint-Didier-au-Mont-d'Or is appreciated for its calm and lively village life, beautiful surrounding nature, and its particularly vibrant community and commercial fabric. The real estate market offers very beautiful architect-designed villas, stone houses with character, and high-end apartments. The Monts d'Or area also includes several other well-known municipalities, such as Saint-Cyr-au-Mont-d'Or, Limonest, or Champagne-au-Mont-d'Or.

Caluire-et-Cuire is another ideal municipality when you want to live around Lyon.

On-site, residents benefit from a wide range of shops, activities, and infrastructure, as well as several green spaces (including the Parc de l'Orangerie).
