Student apartments for rent in Valencia

There are two types of rental apartments for students you can find in Valencia.

On the one hand, there are entire apartments with multiple rooms to share among various students. These have a high total cost (starting from €900), but the rent and expenses are divided among everyone living there, so the monthly price per person is usually affordable.

On the other hand, there are studio apartments. These are compact spaces for one person (sometimes two, preferably a couple). Here you can find everything in the same space: the bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, and even a small living area. Studio apartments prices start from €600 per month, however, check whether utility costs (water, electricity, etc.) are included or if you need to add extra costs at the end of each month. Generally, if the apartment is part of a residence, utilities are included.

Student rooms for rent in Valencia

In Valencia you’ll find two options of student rooms for rent. The most common ones are single rooms, which only have space for one person. These usually come furnished with a bed, desk, chair, and closet.

The other option is a shared room, which has space for two people, so they come furnished with two beds, two desks, two chairs, and two closets, so that everyone can have their own space. It’s true that shared rooms are cheaper than individual rooms, but think carefully if you want to share that space, because you won’t have space for yourself.

The price of student rooms for rent in Valencia usually ranges from €200 per month onwards. However, keep in mind that the average cost is around €450 per month, always according to its characteristics and location.
