Apartments, rooms and studios for rent in Echt Susteren

Echt-Susteren is the Limburg municipality where the Netherlands is at its narrowest, with the Maas and Belgium to the west and the German border to the east. To rent in Echt-Susteren is to pick one of its kernen, the separate towns and villages of one municipality: the town of Echt, Susteren with its Romanesque basilica, Nieuwstadt, Koningsbosch on the German border or Roosteren by the Maas, each with its own small rental market.

Based on over 200 listings tracked in Echt-Susteren since March 2024, the average rent is €1,230 a month for an average of 99 m², and 80% of listings ask between €653 and €1,680. Most renters are couples and families after a house with a garden, single people who want an apartment near a station, and workers who cross into Germany every day.
