82 Rooms for Rent in Rotterdam for Students

Rotterdam is with its ~650,000 inhabitants the 2nd largest city in the Netherlands and is located in the province of South Holland. The city is known for its large port, the largest in Europe, and its modern architecture that emerged after the rebuilding of the city after the Second World War.

Many people come to Rotterdam for its famous architecture such as the Markthal, the Cube Houses and the Erasmus Bridge and for the port area. The Erasmus University and the diverse, international population of the city also make Rotterdam a lively place with a vibrant nightlife.

Despite the relatively large amount of available housing, there is also a housing shortage in Rotterdam due to the high demand. The average rent of a room is €704 and the average price per square meter is €50.63. Room Ranger found 82 rooms in Rotterdam last week, sign up so you can always be the first to respond.

Furthermore, it’s often important for your student financial aid to find a room that requires registration; of all the rooms we find, 80% require registration. Ideally, you’d want a room with a permanent lease; we find that 73% of them have one, but if you’re really eager to find a place, one of the many temporary rooms options is also a good starting point for your search.

A “room” refers to a room in a shared house. This means you’ll share a front door and, in some cases, a bathroom, kitchen, and living room with one or more roommates. Rooms are the most affordable option for living in Rotterdam because you can share many expenses, such as an internet subscription, city taxes, etc. Furthermore, some tenants specifically choose a room because they enjoy not living alone in a house.

Shared houses in Rotterdam are often occupied by people who found each other through the hundreds of Facebook groups created online for this purpose or through other online platforms, such as Kamernet or MyHospi. On average, in Rotterdam you share your home with 3 roommates. Shared homes are often occupied by people between the ages of 18 and 35; the average resident in Rotterdam is 25 years old.

Rooms are usually assigned through “hospitations”—a day when current residents invite one or more people for an introductory interview and then choose their future roommate. With Room Ranger, you can be sure you’ll be notified of all new rooms so you never miss a hospitation.
