A historic town on the Areuse, Boudry runs from its château down to the shore of Lake Neuchâtel and includes the village of Areuse.
Buying in Boudry means paying more per square metre than almost anywhere in Neuchâtel, at CHF 6,600 for a flat. The gap holds even on older stock, so renovation work rarely comes off the asking price the way it does elsewhere. Paying 27 percent more than the cantonal median buys location, not floor space. The same budget moved to a neighbouring commune would typically add a room, and that is the trade most buyers here have already made. Boudry ranks 5 out of 21 communes in Neuchâtel on flat prices per m². Rankings shift a place or two from one year to the next without anything real changing, so read the band rather than the exact position.
A house in Boudry is valued around CHF 7,100 per m² against CHF 6,600 for a flat, a gap of 8 percent. Land is what separates the two figures, and the scarcer the building plots, the wider that gap runs. Flat prices in Boudry are up 3.3 percent over twelve months. One year is a short window, so measure it against the longer trajectory before you read it as a change of direction.

A mixed stock widens the price range inside one commune, where two flats of the same size can be a third apart on condition alone. The average home in Boudry has 3.5 rooms for 93 m². That ratio describes the shape of local demand better than the price does. Many small rooms point to family housing, fewer and larger ones to conversions and new build.
CHF 6,600 per m² is the working reference for a flat in Boudry, 27 percent from Neuchâtel. Take it as a starting point. In a commune this size, the spread between the cheapest and the dearest street is often wider than the gap to the canton. From CHF 3,800 to CHF 7,800 per square metre in 25 years, +105 percent in all. The path was not a straight line, and the flat or falling stretches inside it are precisely what a long average hides. Transaction volume in Boudry is high enough that one unusual sale does not distort the medians. That matters, because thin markets are where automated estimates go furthest wrong and where a local opinion earns its keep.
In Boudry the difference between two flats on the same street can run into six figures. Getting your own number, rather than reading the commune median, is what makes that difference visible before you set a price.
