Studios for Rent in Tilburg

A studio in Tilburg costs about €845 a month on average for roughly 29 m², based on over 2,100 studio listings tracked by RentHunter since February 2024. A studio is a self-contained home with its own kitchen, shower and toilet, unlike a room in a student house where you share them.

Students set the pace: 32% of Tilburg studio listings target students, against 10% aimed at expats. Tilburg University and Fontys students compete with young workers living alone for the same small units, so the search peaks in the summer before the academic year starts in September.

In Tilburg, the second city of Noord-Brabant, 76% of studio listings state that you can register at the address, which you need to get a BSN, the Dutch citizen service number.

Tilburg studio demand follows two campuses: Tilburg University in the west of the city and Fontys in the south. Many student studios in Tilburg come with a campus contract, which the landlord can end once you stop studying, an exception to the open-ended lease that is the default since 1 July 2024.

The Tilburg University campus sits beside the Oude Warande, a woodland park laid out in a star pattern, with Tilburg Universiteit station at its edge. Studios within cycling distance of the faculties are most in demand in August, when first-year and exchange students arrive at once.

Fontys has its main Tilburg buildings in the south of the city, so many of its students look between the center and the Piushaven, the old harbor basin southeast of the center where cafés and terraces line the quays.

Tilburg's Spoorzone, the old railway workshop site north of the station, has the LocHal, a locomotive hall turned public library. Every July the Tilburgse Kermis, the largest funfair in the Benelux, takes over the central streets, so a studio in the center is loud that week.

• €565 to €700: the student entry level Studios from €565 to €700 are the cheap end in Tilburg, below the €841 median asking rent of studios first listed in the 90 days to November 2026. Check whether energy and internet are included.
• €700 to €900: around the €845 average Between €700 and €900 you are around the Tilburg average of €845 for a studio apartment of about 29 m². A studio with a separate bedroom averages €848 a month across 967 listings, close to the price of one open-plan room.
• €900 to €1,150: furnished and central From €900 to €1,150 the rent often pays for furniture or a central address. 29% of Tilburg studio listings come furnished, and furnished studios in Tilburg suit exchange students and young workers on a first contract who arrive with one suitcase.
• Above €1,150: compare with apartments Above €1,150 you leave the range of 80% of Tilburg studios, and an apartment in Tilburg with a separate living room becomes a realistic alternative. With a pet or a car, ask before you visit: 1% of studio listings say pets are allowed and 25% mention parking.
