Student apartments for rent in Santander

In Santander, you can find a variety of apartments for rent for students but prices will vary greatly depending on the area and the characteristics of the apartment. This is common in most cities and is that the centre has a higher cost as it is where most of the daily activity and the most emblematic areas of the city are concentrated.

Living in the centre of Santander is not the most affordable option that we can find, being that there are more convenient than other neighbourhoods on the outskirts of the city where we can save a little money on the monthly rent. An apartment for rent is usually around € 600 on average, depending on the number of rooms this price will increase. Finding studios or apartments with a single room is not so easy and that is why we recommend that you look for a room to rent, which will also be much cheaper.

We help you find accommodation according to your budget, from Erasmus Play you can find rooms for rent from € 250 per month. There are rooms with private bathroom and balcony but they have a slightly higher price than the rest.

It is an old rural area that over time has become one of the dormitory neighbourhoods of the Santander capital. You make sure you live near Santander but with the comfort of being in what would be like a town.
