HOUSING

Breadcrumb

Between the “roommate map” created in Strasbourg, studios for rent in the pedestrian streets of the city center, Crous residences, and the Maison Universitaire Internationale, there are a variety of housing options available in the Eurométropolis of Strasbourg!

We advise you to start looking for accommodation as early as possible given the pressure on the property market. Be wary 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 information from the European Consumer Centre).

Try to bring a friend or family member with you to viewings so that you have a second opinion and support in making your decision. Only make your decision after you have viewed the property and checked its accessibility, surroundings, condition, and the working order of any equipment, as well as the rental terms and conditions.

Where to live?

With its diverse neighborhoods and varied atmospheres, you're sure to find something to suit you: the lively city center with its rich architectural heritage, quieter neighborhoods such as Neudorf, a veritable village within the city, the affordable area around the train station, Krutenau, 10 minutes from the city center, the student neighborhood of Esplanade, and more.
