How the search works

We map your work location and lifestyle to the right areas, follow the market and our network, attend viewings and help you apply with a complete file.

What is different in Rotterdam

  • Guide asking rents (RentalHunter): one-bedroom about €1,100–€1,450, two-bedroom about €1,400–€1,900.
  • There is more new-build and high-rise supply than in most Dutch cities.
  • The river splits the city, so checking the commute matters.

Areas we often look at

Kralingen

Green, near the lake and the university.

Centrum

High-rise apartments and city life.

Kop van Zuid

Modern waterfront living.

Hillegersberg

Quiet, spacious, popular with families.

Delfshaven

Historic harbour character.

Blijdorp

Residential, near the zoo and Centraal.

These are the areas we reach for most often in Rotterdam, not a limit. We cover the whole Netherlands — if you are also weighing up a nearby town, tell us where or see every city we cover.

What to prepare

  • Passport or ID and your employment contract or proof of enrolment
  • Recent payslips or proof of funds for the income check
  • A clear budget, move-in date and number of people
  • Your daily commute or school location, so we can judge areas
