Apartment prices in Esch-sur-Alzette
In Esch-sur-Alzette, apartments sold at a hedonic-adjusted price of €5,911 per square metre in Q4 2025 across 269 recorded apartment sales. This is the most recent benchmark published by the Observatoire de l'Habitat for this commune and reflects completed transactions rather than asking prices. Prime.lu refreshes this figure every quarter as new Observatoire releases land on data.public.lu.
How it compares to the rest of Luxembourg
That puts Esch-sur-Alzette 9.9% below the national hedonic median of €6,557 per square metre for apartments in the same quarter. On a pure price basis, Esch-sur-Alzette sits at the 20th percentile of the 54 communes currently measured — a useful anchor when comparing neighbourhoods without cherry-picking individual listings. The hedonic index controls for property mix, floor area and condition, which is why it's a better cross-commune yardstick than a raw average.
Transaction volume and liquidity
Liquidity matters as much as price when you're buying — thin markets can leave a property on the books for months. Esch-sur-Alzette saw 269 apartment sales recorded in Q4 2025. That makes it the 2nd most active apartment market out of 54 communes with recorded sales, and accounts for roughly 8.4% of nationwide apartment turnover in Q4 2025. Asking prices on the sale side run around €7,392 per square metre, which gives a quick read on the gap between what sellers list and what the market ultimately clears at.
Rental market and gross yield
Rental apartments in Esch-sur-Alzette currently ask €1,151 per month on average (€41 per square metre per month). Against the hedonic sale benchmark, that implies a gross rental yield of roughly 8.4% before any costs, vacancy, taxes, or service charges — useful as a first-pass indicator for buy-to-let investors comparing Luxembourg communes. Net yield will be materially lower once you factor in property tax, maintenance, agency fees, and the typical ~1 month of vacancy per tenancy cycle.
What Esch-sur-Alzette costs at different apartment sizes
Using the hedonic benchmark of €5,911 per square metre as an anchor, a typical 60 m² studio-plus in Esch-sur-Alzette trades around €354,660, a 90 m² two-bedroom around €531,990, and a 120 m² three-bedroom around €709,320. These are central tendencies, not quotes — condition, floor, outdoor space, parking and energy class can each move the final price by 10-20% in either direction. Prime.lu's valuation engine accounts for each of these when you request an estimate for a specific property.
Methodology and sources
Sale-price statistics on this page come from the Observatoire de l'Habitat ("par-commune" quarterly release, Q4 2025) published under CC0 on data.public.lu. The hedonic index controls for the mix of apartments sold (size, location within commune, year built, floor, condition) so that quarter-on-quarter changes reflect genuine market movement rather than changes in what happened to trade. Asking-side and rental figures are drawn from aggregated commune-level observations across Luxembourg property portals in 2025. Communes with fewer than 10 sales in a quarter are suppressed at source for statistical reliability.
