In town, the land offered for the construction of a new house is necessarily smaller. Choosing to build your house outside Toulouse therefore often allows you to have a larger plot.
In fact, the land available on the outskirts is often more spacious than in the city centre. This allows you to benefit from a larger garden, or even to install a swimming pool, a terrace or a vegetable garden.
A larger plot can also offer more privacy and tranquility, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Depending on the geographical area chosen, the land can be up to two or three times larger than those in the city center, thus offering a real outdoor living space for the whole family.
