Grens is a small village in the countryside behind Nyon, bordered by Eysins, Trélex and Gingins and only minutes from the town.
At CHF 9,800 per m² for a flat, Grens sits in the upper band of the Vaud market. That level usually goes with scarce building land and few sales, so a valuation rests on a thin set of comparables. The premium over Vaud has a practical effect at resale. Buyers arriving from cheaper communes negotiate hard on condition, because they are already stretched on the price per square metre before they walk in.
Grens ranks 73 out of 272 communes in Vaud 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. Houses carry a premium of 14 percent per square metre over flats in Grens, CHF 11,200 against CHF 9,800. Households buying a house here are mostly trading up from a flat nearby, so demand holds even when volumes drop.
Up 2.1 percent in a year, Grens has been priced by whoever was willing to pay most for a small number of properties. In a commune with few sales, that is exactly how a median gets moved. Within the Nyon district, Grens lands 7 percent from the local median. A cantonal average mixes city and countryside, so it flatters some communes and penalises others. The district figure removes most of that distortion. The largest group of homes in Grens, 18 percent, dates from before 1919, with the rest spread across the other bands. Where stock is this varied, a commune price per m² carries less weight and the comparison has to come down to buildings of the same age.
Average size in Grens is 123 m² across 4.3 rooms. Compare your own property with that figure before you read any price per square metre, because an outsized home rarely sells at the local rate and a small one often beats it. Half the flats sold in Grens went above CHF 9,800 per m² and half below, which puts the commune 24 percent from the Vaud median. One exceptional sale barely moves a median, and that is why we use it instead of an average.
The 25-year record opens at CHF 3,800 and closes at CHF 9,300, +145 percent apart. Use it to sanity-check an estimate rather than to project forward, since nothing in the series promises the next decade repeats it. Grens turns over enough stock to give a reliable read. The practical benefit shows at negotiation, where both sides can point to comparable sales from the same year, which shortens the distance between asking price and signature.
A price level like the one in Grens leaves little room for approximation. An estimate built on the actual characteristics of your property, floor, condition, view and exposure, will tell you more than any commune average.
