Dernière mise à jour de l'article : avril 2026
A strategic town in the Pays de Gex, at the gates of Geneva
Prévessin-Moëns is one of the most sought-after municipalities in the Pays de Gex to buy, sell or invest.
Bordering Switzerland, with which it shares more than 4 km of border, Prévessin-Moëns enjoys a particularly strategic location, in the immediate vicinity of Geneva, its international airport and CERN.
It adjoins the communes of Saint-Genis-Pouilly, Ferney-Voltaire and Ornex, and includes several historic hamlets: Prévessin, Moëns, Brétigny, Vésegnin and Magny.
This organisation into hamlets contributes strongly to its residential identity and attractiveness.
It thus seduces with a rare balance between accessibility, residential environment, green spaces and family life. This positioning has maintained a sustained demand for real estate for many years.
Exceptional population growth
Prévessin-Moëns is a perfect illustration of the transformation of the Pays de Gex and is one of the most dynamic municipalities in our territory.
Resulting from the merger of Prévessin and Moëns in 1975, the commune had barely 1000 inhabitants at the time. It is now home to nearly 10,000 of them, an exceptional growth linked to two major factors : the immediate proximity of Geneva and the location of CERN.
According to INSEE data, the commune has experienced continuous growth:
This constant increase can be explained by the massive arrival of cross-border workers working in Switzerland and international researchers.
To respond to this strong growth, a large part of the housing stock is recent: about 40% of housing was built between 2006 and 2015.
Demographic projections anticipate a continuation of this dynamic with a threshold that could exceed 10,500 inhabitants by 2030.
