Real estate in Salernes (83690): an attractive market in the heart of the Var
Located in the Haut-Var region, Salernes captivates with its typical Provençal charm and stunning natural surroundings. Known for its artisanal tradition in ceramics and terracotta, Salernes appeals to both heritage lovers and families seeking a peaceful, sun-soaked lifestyle. Surrounded by wooded hills, vineyards, and rivers, the area offers a serene and relaxing environment, while remaining close to Draguignan, Lorgues, and Aups.
Its dynamic real estate market, combined with a rare quality of life, makes it a sought-after destination for buying, selling, or investing in property in the Var region.
Though modest in size, Salernes boasts a surprisingly active local economy and a wide range of shops and services that greatly contribute to its residential appeal. Residents can find everything they need for daily life without needing to travel to larger towns.
When it comes to shopping, the village offers several supermarkets (including Intermarché, Auchan, and Lidl), as well as bakeries, gourmet grocery shops, caterers, hairdressers, bars, cafés, and restaurants serving both local and Mediterranean cuisine. The weekly Provençal market, popular with both locals and tourists, enhances the lively and authentic atmosphere of the village.
Salernes is also well equipped in terms of healthcare services: there’s a pharmacy, several medical and dental practices, and a medical analysis lab, with larger hospitals easily accessible in Draguignan or Brignoles. This comprehensive healthcare access is a key factor for many people when choosing where to live.
Regarding education, Salernes has a preschool and a primary school, allowing families to enroll their children locally in a calm and secure setting. After-school care and extracurricular activities are also available, supporting a well-balanced family lifestyle.
The village is also home to numerous craftspeople, small businesses, building professionals, and local producers, all contributing to its economic vibrancy. Ceramic craftsmanship, a long-standing local specialty, remains a strong part of Salernes' identity, drawing visitors and collectors from far and wide.
Salernes offers a diverse real estate market, from charming village houses and Provençal-style villas with pools and panoramic views, to buildable plots and apartments in small residences. The selection meets the needs of first-time buyers, families, retirees, and investors seeking peace and lifestyle quality.
As a real estate advisor with Optimhome based in Villecroze, I assist with all types of real estate projects: free property valuations, buying, selling, rental investments, and finding primary or secondary homes.
The majority of the local market in Salernes consists of detached houses. Many villas come with gardens and swimming pools, while village houses, either to renovate or already renovated, are highly sought after for their character and charm. Apartments are less common and are mostly found in the historic center.
Properties with land, often planted with olive or oak trees, are particularly attractive to buyers seeking space and a more autonomous lifestyle.
The average price per square meter in Salernes ranges between €2,200 and €3,000 for houses, depending on location, condition, and features (land, pool, view, etc.). Apartments generally range from €1,800 to €2,500 per square meter. These prices remain affordable compared to larger Var towns, while offering an exceptional living environment.
Salernes is attracting more and more investors and buyers looking for high value-for-money opportunities. With a thriving seasonal rental market and growing tourism appeal, the village is ideal for holiday rentals, B&Bs, or second homes with solid returns.
Its strategic location—less than an hour from the coast and close to the Verdon Gorges and the Dracénie area—enhances its appeal to both French and international clients.
