The furnished rental real estate market in Rouen
Rouen, historical charm near the sea
Located in Normandy, in the northern part of France and in the department of Seine-Maritime, the city of Rouen seduces with its historical charm, its small atypical streets and its student atmosphere. Capital of its region, it is a place of history and culture. Its city center with its medieval influence is worth a visit, and its surroundings offer green landscapes that are ideal for walking. Just a few steps from the sea, it is a must-see destination if you are visiting the region.
The housing shortage in Rouen is moderate
We speak of a housing shortage when the rental market experiences an imbalance between supply and demand. In short, tenants often struggle to find furnished accommodation.
As in nearly 20% of cities in France, Rouen is experiencing a slight shortage of furnished housing or is at equilibrium, with up to 2 times more demand than supply.
We count in Rouen about 2 times more demands than offers.
What type of accommodation to choose to stay in Rouen ?
The type of accommodation is defined by two main criteria.
In real estate jargon, housing types are categorized according to what is called an attribute (T1, T2, T3, T4, etc.). This attribute indicates the number of living rooms: the living room and the bedroom(s). Thus, a T1 apartment is a dwelling which is composed of only one room, a T2 apartment which contains two rooms etc.
We can also categorize the types of accommodation according to the mode of rental. We will then find the following types of accommodation: entire accommodation, shared accommodation, residence, homestay, accommodation in exchange for services, CROUS, etc.

Where to find a furnished apartment in Rouen?
To find your apartment in Rouen, you obviously have to choose its location. We advise you to check the proximity of your accommodation to your place of work or study, the metro station... and the neighborhoods that attract you!
The Prefecture district, peaceful and residential
Close to the docks of the Seine, the Prefecture district of Rouen is very peaceful and residential, ideal for living in peace and quiet and a little away from the center, it nevertheless allows easy access to the rest of the city, either on foot or by transport. Close to the law school, students particularly appreciate it for its affordable housing and the many student residences it offers; but it is also popular with families looking for peace and quiet, as it contains a few pretty houses. It is mainly organized around the Prefecture, whose architecture is also worth a look. Although not very lively, there are still a few bars, ideal for meeting people.
The Hôtel de Ville district, arty and lively
The Hôtel de Ville district is located on the right river side of the Seine, in downtown Rouen. It is particularly appreciated by artists of all kinds: whether they are musicians, dancers or actors; especially since it contains the Centre National d'Art Dramatique de Normandie (CDN), but also many independent artistic workshops. Known for its arty atmosphere, it is also here that one finds many bars and restaurants, in which the inhabitants like to meet in the evening to share a drink with their friends.
