Compare Dutch Cities on Rent, Space per Euro and Supply

The city with the lowest advertised rent is not automatically the cheapest place to rent: a low asking rent often reflects smaller advertised homes. Order the covered Dutch cities by median advertised rent, then switch to cost per square metre and watch the order change. Typical rental size, new-listing supply and how quickly homes leave complete the comparison. Only cities carrying enough represented listings appear, so each column stays a like-for-like reading rather than a headline drawn from a handful of homes.

Median advertised rent

Why the measure matters

Cheapest Dutch cities by rent versus cheapest per square metre

Set the cheapest cities by headline rent beside the cheapest by cost per square metre. Where a city appears on one list and not the other, the difference is floor area, not affordability.

Every figure describes advertised asking rents in listings Luntero collects from Dutch rental platforms, not signed contracts, social housing allocations or the complete local housing stock.
