Apartment Prices in Lebanon in 2026: What Buyers Can Expect by Area

The price of an apartment in Lebanon can vary dramatically from one area to another. A property’s location, size, condition, view and available amenities can all influence its asking price, sometimes creating major differences between neighborhoods only a few kilometres apart.

For anyone considering buying property in Lebanon, comparing the total price alone does not provide the full picture. Looking at the advertised price per square metre makes it easier to understand how different areas compare and what buyers may realistically find within their budget.

Based on residential properties advertised on DoorEast, here is a closer look at apartment prices across several of Lebanon’s most searched locations in 2026.

Important: The figures below are based on asking prices advertised on DoorEast. They do not represent completed property transactions or official property valuations.

Apartment Prices in Lebanon: A September 2026 Snapshot

DoorEast’s Market Insights currently tracks property prices across 308 locations in Lebanon. For each area, the platform calculates the average advertised price per square metre and the average total asking price using active property listings.

The September 2026 data demonstrates just how wide the price range can be:

These figures are averages rather than fixed prices. Individual properties within each area may be advertised above or below them depending on their characteristics.

Downtown Beirut Has the Highest Advertised Price per Square Metre

Downtown Beirut currently records the highest advertised residential price among the areas displayed by DoorEast, at approximately $6,550 per square metre.

The average advertised property price is around $2.3 million, based on 126 residential listings included in the calculation.

Downtown Beirut’s pricing reflects its central location, modern developments and concentration of larger, high-end residences. Properties with sea views, premium finishes, security services, underground parking and access to building facilities may command substantially higher prices.

However, the high average total price may also reflect the size and type of properties available in the area. This is why buyers should compare both the total asking price and the price per square metre.

Saifi Village Remains One of Beirut’s Premium Residential Areas

With an advertised price of approximately $5,123 per square metre, Saifi Village remains among the most expensive residential locations in Beirut.

The average advertised property price is around $1.46 million, based on 69 listings.

Saifi Village appeals to buyers looking for central Beirut living, distinctive architecture and proximity to Downtown, Gemmayzeh and the Beirut Central District. Its limited geographical size and premium positioning contribute to higher asking prices.

Coastal Beirut Commands a Significant Premium

Several of Beirut’s coastal neighborhoods appear among the areas with the highest advertised residential prices.

In Ras Beirut, the average advertised price is approximately $4,431 per square metre, with an average property asking price of around $1.36 million.

Nearby Ain Al Mraiseh records approximately $4,372 per square metre and an average property price of around $1.58 million.

In Raoucheh, residential properties are advertised at an average of approximately $4,210 per square metre, while the average total asking price is around $1.35 million.

The availability of sea views, larger apartments and prime waterfront positions can have a considerable effect on pricing in these neighborhoods. Two apartments in the same area may therefore have very different asking prices depending on their floor level, condition, view and exact street.

Gemmayzeh and Mar Mikhael Offer Different Price Points

Gemmayzeh and Mar Mikhael are neighboring areas, but the current listing data shows a noticeable difference in their average advertised prices.

Residential properties in Gemmayzeh are advertised at approximately $4,105 per square metre, with an average total price of around $1.17 million.

In Mar Mikhael, the advertised average falls to approximately $3,471 per square metre, while the average property price is around $619,000.

Both neighborhoods attract buyers looking for central locations, traditional architecture and access to Beirut’s restaurants, cafés and cultural life. However, prices can vary widely depending on whether a property is newly built, renovated or located in an older building requiring additional work.

How Much Does an Apartment Cost in Achrafieh?

Achrafieh is one of the largest and most varied residential markets in Beirut. DoorEast’s figures are based on more than 1,150 advertised properties, making it one of the strongest samples among the locations displayed.

The area records an average advertised price of approximately $3,151 per square metre and an average total property price of around $769,000.

However, Achrafieh should not be treated as one uniform property market. Prices can differ significantly between its individual neighborhoods.

For example, properties around Sassine, Sodeco, Sioufi and the Carré d’Or may each have different price levels. New developments and renovated heritage apartments can also command a premium compared with older properties that require work.

In Sassine, the current advertised average is approximately $2,741 per square metre, with an average total property price of around $569,000.

This variation makes detailed location filters particularly important when searching for an apartment in Achrafieh.

Apartment Prices in Verdun

Verdun records an advertised residential price of approximately $3,128 per square metre, with an average property asking price of around $848,000.

Its central position, established residential buildings and proximity to shops, schools and services continue to make it an important area for buyers searching in Beirut.

Within Verdun, prices may be influenced by the age and condition of the building, parking availability, street accessibility and whether the apartment has an open view.

Dbayeh Offers a Lower Average Price per Square Metre

Outside central Beirut, Dbayeh provides a different balance between location, space and price.

Residential properties in Dbayeh are advertised at an average of approximately $2,122 per square metre, with an average total asking price of around $509,000, based on 281 listings.

Compared with Downtown Beirut’s $6,550 per square metre, Dbayeh’s advertised average is approximately 68% lower.

This does not necessarily mean that every property in Dbayeh is inexpensive. The area contains a mixture of older apartments, new developments, gated communities and luxury waterfront properties. However, its lower overall average may allow buyers to find more space for the same budget than in Beirut’s most expensive central neighborhoods.

What Determines Apartment Prices in Lebanon?

Location remains one of the strongest factors affecting property prices, but it is not the only one. Buyers should also consider:

Property size

Larger apartments usually have higher total prices, although smaller units may sometimes carry a higher price per square metre.

Building age and condition

A newly constructed or recently renovated apartment will generally be priced differently from a property requiring structural, electrical or interior work.

View and floor level

Sea views, open mountain views and higher floors can add a significant premium, particularly in coastal areas.

Parking and building facilities

Private parking, elevators, generators, security, storage rooms, swimming pools and shared facilities can all affect the asking price.

Outdoor space

Balconies, terraces, gardens and rooftop access are particularly valuable in dense urban locations.

Exact position within the area

Two properties listed under the same general location may be on very different streets or in distinct micro-neighborhoods. Buyers should always examine the property’s precise location rather than relying only on the area name.

Asking Prices Are Not the Same as Transaction Prices

The figures presented in this guide reflect prices advertised by sellers and real estate agencies.

An asking price represents the amount requested when a property is placed on the market. The final transaction price may be lower or higher depending on negotiations, property condition, payment terms and market demand.

DoorEast’s Market Insights should therefore be used as a tool for comparing areas and understanding advertised market positioning—not as a formal property valuation.
