@#Minu Dewan - this is currently on the low side for new apartment rentals. Something older in Vaihingen, Stuttgart-Ost would be 846 EUR for maybe 55-65 square meters. No new building. Outside of the City for 648 EUR maybe a 30 year old Building in waiblingen or something. Before utilities. A new one bedroom in the City centre is between 17 and 22 euros per square meter per month (before utilities) and outside 14 to 17. Electricity cost around 30-35 euros per Person per month and utilities you can expect around 3-5 euros per square meter per month (heat, hot/cold water, property tax paid by tenant etc.). Hope this helps and you find this Information accurate.

I am a prospective PhD student at University of Stuttgart and shall move there by 1st week of September. I don't mind sharing an apartment as well. Looking for recommendations on house/apartment at/near University of Stuttgart to rent along with price info. Thanks!

#Minu Dewan on May 24, 2018 :

What is the respective apartment area for 846 and 648 euro

#Luís on Mar 31, 2018 :

Hi there! In the next 4 months I should be moving to Stuttgart with my family. 4 in total. Looking for recommendations on house/apartment to rent along with price info? Thanks! Happy Easter holiday! :)

#Oliver on Dec 06, 2016 :

Something is off with the rent prices shown here, probably skewed based on old rent contracts (in Germany you have an unlimited contract with minimal increases over time) or based on the misunderstanding of the room concept (in Germany a 1 bedroom is a two-room apartment (Zweizimmerwohnung)).
If you rent now (Dec 2016) the prices would be on average:

1 bedroom city center - 1250 EUR
1 bedroom outside of centre - 1020 EUR

based on a swift research on immobilienscout24.de

Please #Elu or anybody. I am helping a friend that needs an apartment in Stuttgart and looking for paying as less as possible, around 400-500€ close to the express way, with warmiete, electricity and internet and with easy place for parking. Any recommendations on the best way of finding one like this? any agencies or pages for searching it? Or maybe a good community close to Stuttgart with these prices?
Thanks in advance.

Please you can write me directly here:

I live in the center of Stuttgart for 5 years and I can agree on everything except of 2 topics!

First of all I love the supermarkets here in germany. You can get everything there and the prices are propably the best in the world but only when you buy all the cheap stuff from the cheap brands such as "ja" or "gut&günstig" or the house brand of each supermarket.

The price of drinks in a restaurant or cafe that are showen there are the minimum prices. Add at least 50 cents to every price.
The meal prices are o.k! The cheapest regular meal in a (fastfood-)restaurant would be to go to a Kebap place and have a 4,50€ Döner Kebap (minimum price) and a 2,50€Coke (minumum price) and a little piece of baklava as dessert 1.50€ (minimum price). Total 8.50€ That's by the way the statutory minimum wage per hour.
When you go to a real regular restaurant you pay about 8-10€ for the cheapest regular meal on the menu without any drink or dessert.
So a mid range three course menu is minimum 20 Euro for a single person! So average price must be higher

Second thing I don't agree is the rent. The cheapest rent in the center I ever heard of was 600€ for a small 32m2 Apartment.

Outside the city is ok! I live 10km away from the city and pay 400€ for 43m2 and I am lucky to have found such a cheap but beautiful place
