Find your student housing quickly

Our available student housing

Looking for available student housing — quickly, reliably and matched to your studies? Finding student housing can become complex when listings are scattered and availability shifts fast, especially in cities such as Paris, Lyon, Lille, Bordeaux or Toulouse.

With Cloé, accessing available student housing becomes easier through a platform dedicated to student-housing search across France's main university cities, such as Montpellier, Strasbourg, Rennes, Grenoble or Nantes.

We help every student quickly identify an available property matching their criteria — whether a studio, a flatshare or a student residence near their university.

Quick search for available student housing

We simplify this process by making a selection of available student housing accessible in real time. Students can browse listings, compare furnished properties and quickly identify options matching their criteria for budget, location and type of housing.

This approach also avoids common pitfalls such as outdated listings or properties already booked. Through a specialised platform, the search becomes faster and more secure.

Available student housing by type

Available student housing comes in several formats depending on each student's needs and budget. Some prefer an individual studio for personal space, while others choose a flatshare to lower the rent.

Several types of housing can be browsed during a search:

• furnished studio for rent
• individual room in a flatshare
• student apartment for rent
• housing in a university residence

This variety lets students pick housing that matches their expectations in terms of comfort, location or living environment.

Browse available student housing in real time

In a dynamic rental market, student-housing availability shifts very fast. A studio or student apartment can be booked within hours when it sits near a university or campus.

Accessing available student housing in real time is therefore a real advantage for students. It lets you spot new listings as soon as they're published and submit a booking request before the property is allocated.

This responsiveness significantly increases the chances of securing student housing in a high-demand university city.

Available student studios

The student studio remains one of the most sought-after properties for students who want to live alone and have a personal space to study. This format usually includes a main room with kitchen or kitchenette, plus a private bathroom.

Available student studios can be found today in most of France's major university cities. The most sought after remain Paris, Lyon, Lille, Bordeaux, Toulouse, Montpellier, Strasbourg, Rennes, Grenoble, Nantes or Marseille. These cities concentrate a large student population and host many universities and higher-education schools.

Studios may be offered in modern student residences, in apartments rented out by individuals or in properties close to university campuses. This variety lets students find available student housing matching their criteria for location, budget and comfort.

Available student flatshares

The student flatshare is an interesting alternative for students who want to reduce their housing budget while living in a more spacious apartment. By sharing a property with several flatmates, you can split rent and some utilities.

This type of housing is particularly common in major student cities such as Lyon, Toulouse, Lille, Rennes, Nantes, Grenoble or Montpellier, where multi-room apartments are often offered as flatshares. Students can therefore access housing in the city centre or close to public transport.

A flatshare also fosters student life and exchanges between flatmates. It's an ideal solution for students who want to live in a friendly environment while keeping their budget under control.

Available student residences

Student residences are a particularly suitable solution for students looking for secure housing with built-in services. These residences typically offer furnished, equipped studios — sometimes with extra amenities such as a laundry, a gym or workspaces.

Many student residences can be found in major university cities such as Paris, Lyon, Bordeaux, Toulouse, Montpellier, Strasbourg, Lille or Marseille. These properties are often located close to universities and public transport.

This format makes student life easier and lets students settle quickly into an environment designed around their studies and daily routine.

Available student rooms

Student rooms are an accessible solution for students with a more limited budget. They may be offered in university residences, in shared housing or by private hosts.

This type of housing is particularly common in university cities such as Poitiers, Clermont-Ferrand, Nancy, Dijon, Rouen, Angers or Orleans, where the student-housing market remains more accessible than in major metropolitan areas.

Student rooms let students access housing close to their university while keeping their budget under control, in a setting suited to their studies.

Why use Cloé to find available student housing?

Quickly finding available student housing can be difficult when listings are scattered across several real-estate sites or generalist platforms. Students often have to compare many adverts, check information and verify that properties are actually still available.

That's why we built a platform specialised in student housing. Our goal is to centralise housing listings for every student during their search to make access to available, secure and study-aligned housing easier.

A leading platform specialised in student housing

We have developed a platform dedicated to student-housing search in order to meet the expectations of students, young professionals and people in academic mobility. Unlike generalist real-estate portals, we surface properties specifically suited to students.

This specialisation lets us list reliable, verified student-housing adverts from private owners, student residences and real-estate partners. Students can therefore browse available listings with confidence and compare housing based on their criteria.

How to quickly access available student housing?

Accessing available student housing often requires preparing the search ahead of time and adopting an effective strategy. Students should define their criteria, plan their budget and check listings regularly to spot opportunities.

A well-organised search makes access to available housing easier and increases the chances of booking a property aligned with your studies.

Defining your search criteria

Before starting a student-housing search, it's essential to define several key criteria. The location of the property, proximity to public transport or to the campus and the available budget are decisive elements.

Some students prefer a studio close to the university, while others look for housing in a lively neighbourhood with shops and services nearby.

Identifying available student housing by budget

Budget is one of the main criteria when searching for student housing. Rents can vary based on the city, the size of the property and the services included.

Students should also factor in expenses such as electricity, water or home insurance. A solid budget estimate helps focus the search on housing that's actually within reach.

Acting fast on an available property

In student cities where demand is strong, you must act quickly when a property matches your criteria. Students should send their application as soon as a listing is published.

Acting fast on an available student property significantly increases the chances of securing it before another candidate books it.

Renting available student housing without hassle

Renting available student housing often involves preparing your application and following a few administrative steps. Owners and landlords usually want to verify the tenant's situation before signing a rental contract.

A well-organised process secures the rental and gives faster access to available student housing. Preparing your rental file and anticipating some steps can make the difference when a property matching your criteria appears.

Preparing a complete student rental file

The rental file is a key element when renting student housing. Owners typically request several documents to check the tenant's situation and ability to pay rent.

The most commonly requested documents include an ID, a school enrolment certificate, proof of address and information about the guarantor. A complete file significantly increases the chances of securing an available property.

Renting student housing without a guarantor

Many students struggle to rent housing because they don't have a guarantor. Yet several solutions exist to make access easier.

Certain rental-guarantee schemes or housing-aid programmes secure the rental and reassure landlords. These solutions ease access to available student housing, especially for international students or young professionals.

Simplifying your application with a specialised platform

Using a platform specialised in student housing significantly simplifies the rental process. Students can browse listings, compare available housing and submit their file directly online.
