Prices by district
Districts with at least 40 apartments for sale, from the most expensive per m²:
| District | Median price per m² | 2-bedroom apartment | 3-bedroom apartment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beirut | $3,080 | $399,000 | $630,000 |
| Baabda | $1,770 | $156,000 | $375,000 |
| Metn | $1,470 | $170,000 | $292,000 |
| Batroun | $1,270 | $157,000 | $200,000 |
| Keserouan | $1,150 | $135,000 | $225,000 |
| Jbeil | $1,020 | $120,000 | $175,000 |
| Tripoli | $1,000 | Too few listings | $175,000 |
| Saida | $970 | Too few listings | $157,000 |
| Aley | $960 | $120,000 | $175,000 |
| Zahle | $920 | $115,000 | $171,000 |
| Koura | $890 | $96,000 | $135,000 |
| Chouf | $790 | $92,000 | $142,000 |
| Zgharta | $700 | Too few listings | $104,000 |
Price per m² is the fairer comparison, because the typical apartment for sale differs in size: about 220 m² in Beirut, 190 m² in the Metn and 150 m² in Jbeil. Zahle, the Chouf, Tripoli, Zgharta and Saida have fewer than 100 apartments for sale each, so their figures are less precise.

| Mar Elias | $1,940 | $1,620 to $2,380 | $360,000 |
The "middle half" column shows the range where half of the neighbourhood's apartments fall, leaving out the cheapest and dearest quarters. It's a better guide than the median alone in large, mixed areas like Achrafieh.

Monteverde, Baabda, Hazmieh and Mtayleb, in the hills east of Beirut, ask $1,900 to $2,100 per m². Coastal towns further north ask less: about $970 in Zouk Mosbeh, $1,100 in Jbeil and $1,300 in Batroun.
How to use these numbers
Compare a listing's price per m² with the median of its area. A price well above the middle half needs a reason: a view, a recent building, a garden, parking or 24/7 electricity. Listing pages on Day3ti show how a home's price per m² compares with its area.
Then add the costs on top of the price: about 4% in government fees for a Lebanese buyer and 6% for a foreigner, plus the agent and the lawyer. The full list is in the hidden costs of buying a home in Lebanon. If you'll need a loan, see housing loans and payment plans.
How we measured
- Asking prices of apartments for sale on Day3ti on 9 November 2026. Villas, duplexes, penthouses and land aren't included.
- A home advertised more than once is counted once.
- Apartments of 30 to 1,000 m², asking $20,000 to $10 million, with a price per m² between $150 and $25,000. This removes typing errors and placeholder prices.
- The median is the middle price: half the apartments ask more, half ask less. Price per m² uses the built-up area in the ad.
- "Too few listings" means fewer than 20 apartments with that number of bedrooms.
