Toulouse, the city in pink!
Toulouse has nearly 490,000 inhabitants. Capital of Occitania, it has a rich heritage dating back to Roman times. It is also anchored in modernity with its title of first European aeronautical center. Aeronautics but also aerospace are areas of Toulouse. Thanks to Concorde but also to the establishment of Airbus, the European consortium whose head office is located in the pink city. Aeroscopia, the aeronautics museum brings a cultural side to the Toulouse aeronautical field. The Cité de l'Espace theme park is unique in Europe, a symbol of the place of the city in the field of space.

Place du Capitole, the Saint-Sernin basilica, the Couvent des Jacobins, the Canal du Midi, are must-sees in the city of Toulouse. Museums such as the Natural History Museum, the Augustins, Saint-Raymond, the Abattoirs, Georges Labit and Paul Dupuy demonstrate the cultural richness of the city. Real estate prices are still three times lower than the Parisian market, which makes it even more attractive for investors. The city of Toulouse is largely inhabited by a rather young population.
The housing shortage in Toulouse is extreme
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, Toulouse 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 Toulouse about 4 times more demand than offer.
What type of accommodation to choose to stay in Toulouse ?
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.
-
40% of furnished accommodation offered to Toulouse are studios or T1

-
33% of the furnished rental offer in la ville rose concerns apartments T3 or more
What surface for a furnished apartment in Toulouse?
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 60% of accommodations is between 40 and 99m²
-
It is necessary to count a surface of more than 100m² for 15% of rental apartments in Toulouse

450€/month for a studio or a one-bedroom apartment,
-
