The furnished rental real estate market in Strasbourg
Strasbourg, European capital
Capital of the Grand-Est region and seat of the European Parliament, Strasbourg is a city located in the North-East of France, on the German border. The two cultures are combined there, as much in daily life, as in the habits and customs, the history of the city and the architecture. The climate is close to continental, with harsh winters and hot summers. Strasbourg is particularly famous for its famous Christmas Market, which radiates throughout the world and attracts tourists from all over.
The housing shortage in Strasbourg is very strong
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 60% of cities in France, Strasbourg suffers from a very strong and even extreme shortage of furnished accommodation: there is at least twice as much demand as supply.
We count in Strasbourg about between 2 and 4 times more demands than offers.
What type of accommodation to choose to stay in Strasbourg ?
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.
-
45% of furnished accommodation offered to Strasbourg are studios or T1
-
45% of furnished apartments for rent are one-bedroom from Strasbourg apartments
-
64% of the furnished rental offer in the Christmas capital concerns apartments T3 or more
What surface for a furnished apartment in Strasbourg?
The type of accommodation only indicates the number of rooms and not the size of the apartment. Thus, a T1 apartment can be larger than a T3 apartment. It is therefore necessary to take an interest in its surface!

-
The size of 65% of accommodations is between 40 and 99m²
-
It is necessary to count a surface of more than 100m² for 15% of rental apartments in Strasbourg
What is the average rent for renting a furnished apartment in Strasbourg?
The average rent per m² is 14€/sq.m. A tenant will have to provide on average 490€/month to stay in a furnished apartment in Strasbourg.

-
450€/month for a studio or a one-bedroom apartment,
-
620€/month for a two-bedroom apartment,
-
770€/month for a T3 apartment, including the entire accommodation offered for shared accommodation.
Rents for a furnished apartment in Strasbourg or in its periphery vary greatly depending on the location and type of housing.
Where to find a furnished apartment in Strasbourg?
To find your apartment in Strasbourg, 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 Krutenau district
The Krutenau district offers a village-like atmosphere to its residents, yet is located in the heart of the city, south of the Grand Island. There are restaurants offering food from all over the world, as well as trendy stores, bookstores and a strong underground culture. This district is particularly lively and appreciated for its barges, on which the inhabitants like to meet in the evening to share a drink by the water.
The Petite France neighborhood
The Petite France neighborhood is a typical neighborhood of the city. In fact, it is one of the most touristy. You can observe traditional half-timbered houses, dating from the end of the 16th century, to discover along the canals and small cobbled streets. It is also in this district that you can admire the Vauban Dam and enjoy its panoramic view, while taking advantage of your lunch break to taste Alsatian cuisine and get souvenirs of your visit.
