01Neighbourhood
Living in Éguilles, Venelles and the pays d’Aix
Daily life plays out between the village of Éguilles, its shops and school, and Venelles, its residential quarters and amenities. Both villages look over the Sainte-Victoire and the chaîne des Côtes; Aix, its cours Mirabeau and its lycées stay fifteen minutes away.
Links run by the road des Alpes and the ring road: the TGV station, central Aix and the pays d’Aix employment area are a quarter of an hour away. Village life exists on both sides: markets, schools, clubs, village feasts.

Streets and micro-sectors
- 01
The old village of Éguilles
Éguilles on its spur keeps lanes, squares and old houses: the heart of the village rarely sells, and the terraces looking over the plain set the price.
- 02
The green quarters of Venelles
Venelles lines up residential quarters and amenities: villas with gardens, schools and shops on foot, a more fluid market than the immediate countryside for the same backdrop.
- 03
The slopes of the chaîne des Côtes
On the slopes climbing towards the chaîne des Côtes, villas and estates look over the plain of the pays d’Aix: view and quiet make the gap, a quarter of an hour from Aix.
- 04
The pays d’Aix and its villages
Around, the pays d’Aix multiplies residential villages: a hunting ground of houses and estates more accessible, where local watching surfaces real opportunities.

How Home Select hunts in Éguilles, Venelles and the pays d’Aix?
Home Select follows the pays d’Aix village by village, with a written brief that fixes the surface, the garden, the condition of the stock and the real travel times. Home Select receives more than 100 off-market properties every day from its network of 15,000 professional partners, which matters in a crown where fine opportunities are dealt between locals. The finder arranges a video pre-viewing of every property before proposing it.
Before the offer, the finder audits on paper what makes the value or the risk of a house in the Aix crown: surveys, drainage, boundaries and easements, roof and façades, energy performance of villas and old stock alike. Structures and soils call for a building surveyor: have them examined before the offer. For the buyer coming from afar, the finder keeps only the properties matching the brief: Home Select has them view only three properties on average, and negotiates an average 6% off the seller’s price.
