Housing

Between "La Carte des Colocs" made in Strasbourg, studios for rent in the pedestrian streets of the city center, Crous residences, or the "Maison Universitaire Internationale", there are various housing solutions available in the Eurometropolis of Strasbourg!

We advise you to start your housing search as early as possible given the tight real estate market.

Be cautious of online ads that seem too good to be true or suspicious, asking for fraudulent money transfers, and don't hesitate to report them; see info from the European Consumer Center. Try to have a friend or relative accompany you during the visit to get a second opinion and support for your decision. Only decide after visiting and carefully checking accessibility, the environment, the condition and proper functioning of the facilities, and the rental terms.

Where to stay?

Strasbourg, a European city on a human scale, offers many options for accommodation. With its diverse neighborhoods and varied atmospheres, you’re sure to find what you're looking for: the lively city center with rich architectural heritage, quieter neighborhoods like Neudorf, a true village within the city, affordable areas around the station for smaller budgets, Krutenau just 10 minutes from the hyper-center, and the student district of Esplanade...

Expand your search around Strasbourg

The well-developed transport network allows you to opt for more distant neighborhoods or other communes around Strasbourg where prices might be more affordable.

Solidarity Co-location offered by AFEV
Intergenerational Co-housing
Since 2020, the law allows a senior citizen to rent a room to a young person. This arrangement is regulated by a solidarity intergenerational cohabitation contract.
Intergenerational cohabitation differs from simple shared housing. The goal is to create an exchange: the young person benefits from affordable housing in exchange for small services rendered to the senior who hosts them.
