Studios for Rent in Eindhoven

A studio in Eindhoven is a self-contained home with its own kitchen, shower and toilet, the step up from a student room with a shared kitchen. Based on over 2,100 studio listings tracked by RentHunter in Eindhoven since February 2024, the average rent is €974 a month for 32 m², and 61% of these studios come furnished.

New listings ask less than that average. About 27 studios are newly listed each week (28 days to November 2026), at a median asking rent of €790 (90 days to November 2026). That asking rent is stable compared with three months earlier and 7% lower than a year earlier, on the same sources.

Most people looking for a studio apartment in Eindhoven study at TU/e or Fontys, or start as young engineers at ASML, Philips or on the High Tech Campus and want their own front door. 37% of the listings target students and 17% target expats, so check who a studio is meant for before you reply.

1. Average rent: €974 a month
   The average studio in Eindhoven rents for €974 a month for 32 m² of living space, where sleeping, cooking and working share one room. If you want a separate bedroom, compare with apartments for rent in Eindhoven before you decide, since an apartment adds a door and usually a higher rent.
2. Price range: €571 to €1,395 for most
   80% of Eindhoven studio listings ask between €571 and €1,395 a month, a wide gap for homes of a similar size. Check what the rent covers: servicekosten (service charges for cleaning shared areas, a caretaker or internet) can be included or come on top, and ask whether gas, water and electricity are in the rent.
3. Tilburg comparison: 15% more in Eindhoven
   A studio in Eindhoven costs 15% more than in Tilburg, where the average is €845 a month. Closer by, studios in Best and studios in Helmond are worth a search too: both towns have a station on a line into Eindhoven Centraal.
4. Furnished: 61% of studio listings
   61% of Eindhoven studio listings are furnished, which suits a first assignment or a semester when you arrive with one suitcase; browse furnished studios in Eindhoven for that segment. The others are gestoffeerd (floors, curtains and lighting, no furniture) or kaal (an empty shell), worth it if you plan to stay a few years and already own a bed.
5. Separate bedroom: €1,083 on average
   907 Eindhoven studio listings mention one bedroom, at an average of €1,083 a month, above the €974 average for all studios. If you work from home after a day at the campus or the lab, that wall between bed and desk is what the extra rent buys.
6. New supply: about 27 studios a week
   Around 27 new studios come online in Eindhoven each week, so a daily search finds fresh options. Reply on the day a listing goes online, with a short message giving your income, start date and length of stay, and your documents ready to send.

The most practical Eindhoven studios lie within cycling distance of Eindhoven Centraal: the TU/e campus starts just north of the station, the Fontys campus at Rachelsmolen is close to it, and the city center lies to the south.

Centrum, the area around the Markt and the 18 Septemberplein, puts a studio within walking distance of Eindhoven Centraal, the shops and the train to the Randstad. It suits a young professional without a car: parking in the center is paid, and 33% of studio listings mention parking.

Woensel-Zuid, the residential district just north of the railway, is a practical base for TU/e students and for engineers who take the train: campus and station are both a short bike ride away. Evenings are quieter than in Centrum, and Winkelcentrum Woensel further north covers groceries and daily errands.

Stratum, south of the center, combines shopping along the Stratumsedijk with green space in the Stadswandelpark. It suits a renter who wants a calmer address and still cycles to Centrum, with the Genneper Parken sports grounds further south for a run after work.

Renting a studio in Eindhoven goes faster when you know three things before the viewing: whether you can register, which documents the landlord wants and what the deposit and contract look like.

84% of Eindhoven studio listings state that you can register at the address, and you must register with the Gemeente Eindhoven within 5 days of moving in. A first registration from abroad is by appointment, so book it on the municipality website as soon as the lease is signed; a move from elsewhere in the Netherlands is reported online with DigiD. If a listing says nothing about registration, ask the landlord or makelaar in writing before you pay anything.

Eindhoven studio landlords generally ask students for proof of enrollment at TU/e or Fontys and a guarantor, and ask young engineers for an employment contract or werkgeversverklaring (employer's statement) and recent payslips. Put these in one PDF with your passport so you can send them the moment you find a studio you like.

The average deposit on an Eindhoven studio is 1.25 months of rent, so budget the deposit and the first month together before you reply to a listing. A makelaar (property agent) who works for the landlord may not charge you a fee, so refuse any agency fee from the landlord's side.

Commuting from Eindhoven by public transit takes about 56 minutes to Utrecht and 69 minutes to Rotterdam, so a studio here also works for a hybrid job or an internship in the Randstad.

Utrecht is about 56 minutes from Eindhoven by public transit (81 km) and Rotterdam about 69 minutes (105 km). From a studio within cycling distance of Eindhoven Centraal, door to door time stays close to these figures.

Amsterdam is about 86 minutes from Eindhoven by public transit (120 km) and Den Haag about 87 minutes (127 km), fine for one office day a week. Groningen, about 171 minutes away (273 km), is a weekend trip rather than a commute.
