The best dates to rent a house in Valencia

Most of the students who come to Valencia live in shared flats with other students, although there is also the option of living in university residences or even in a family home.

The best dates to find something when there are more options and better prices is during the summer until mid-August and in January for those arriving in the second quarter.

The deposit is usually one month rent and is returned to you when you leave the flat. Make sure you read the contracts carefully especially the policy on leaving the flat and how much money you will get back.

The best thing to

We suggest that you don’t delay choosing a flat for more than 4 or 5 days because if you wait longer some of the flats could be rented by the time you decide to take them.

The best thing to do is find a flat or a room before you arrive. Valencia is one of the first Erasmus city destination in Europe and to find a place near your university could be a difficult process if you don´t think with time in advance.

It is especially important to consider the location in the selection of your home. If you live farther than within walking distance of the University of Valencia, it can be inconvenient unless you are close to public transportation or if you have a car. You can choose from a variety of options, rent an apartment, rent rooms, or even think about having a property in Valencia.

The perfect area for students

The surroundings of the University of Valencia are the perfect area for students to live in shared flats. Sites such as Avenida Blasco Ibañez, Avenida Ramón LLull, Plaza Honduras, Plaza del Cedro. This is the area that Happy Erasmus would recommend. It is well connected to the rest of the city with all the necessary services.

Another student area in Valencia is the neighborhood of Benimaclet, also close to universities and generally cheap flats that are a bit older. It is well connected to the city by tram, metro and bus lines.

There are students who decide to live in the center of Valencia, for example, in the Carmen, which is also a good option, although during the first weeks most students are not in this area which means that you have to go a bit more away go to the same places as your friends and go to classes that are in the Blasco Ibañez area.

Another area where students decide to live in Valencia is near the beach in the Cabañal neighborhood, for the period from March to July, living here has many advantages given that it is close to the beach and is where most people spend their free time.
