Rental Yield Aubervilliers: Paris Suburb Investment Guide
Aubervilliers offers 6.8% gross rental yield on two-bedroom flats post-Grand Paris Express. Discover why this Seine-Saint-Denis commune now outperforms every Paris suburb for property investors.
How we reported this
Aubervilliers posted the highest gross rental yield among Paris suburbs in the second quarter of 2026, reaching 6.8 percent on two-bedroom apartments according to data compiled by local notaries.
The figure matters now because the final sections of Grand Paris Express line 7 opened in March, cutting travel time from central Paris to the commune’s new Fort d’Aubervilliers station to twelve minutes. Investors who bought before the line opened are already seeing rents rise faster than prices, widening the yield gap with inner arrondissements where average sale prices still hover near 10,000 euros per square metre.
Local detail comes from two concrete sites. At the Marché des Cheminots on rue des Cheminots, weekly lettings for 55-square-metre flats now average 1,050 euros, while the adjacent Canal de l’Ourcq towpath has drawn new co-working tenants who pay 1,200 euros for similar units. Both locations sit within 400 metres of the Fort d’Aubervilliers metro interchange.
Price and rent evidence
Official notarial records show Aubervilliers apartments traded at an average 5,150 euros per square metre between April and June, down from 5,400 euros a year earlier. The same units command 18.50 euros per square metre per month in rent, producing the 6.8 percent yield. By comparison, the nearest inner-ring postcode in the 19th arrondissement averages 4.9 percent on identical stock.
Next steps for buyers
Agents at the local chamber of commerce advise checking lease terms against the new 2026 rent reference index published on 1 July, which caps increases at 2.8 percent for existing tenancies. Prospective purchasers should also verify that any property lies inside the 800-metre catchment of either the Fort d’Aubervilliers or La Courneuve-Six Routes stations to capture the strongest transport premium.
