Brest, the City of Ponant 

 

The city of Brest is located in the French department of Finistère in the region of Brittany.  It has more than 140,000 inhabitants with an area of 50km².Brest is the first agglomeration of West Brittany. It is the most populated city of Finistère. It is the 25th most populated city in France. The city is strongly marked by the bombings of the Second World War, including its historic center which was completely renovated during the Reconstruction. The city is considered a port city. Indeed, the heritage of the National Maritime Museum contributes to placing Brest at the heart of the maritime domain. More than 2500 jobs are linked to the sea on its territory. Brest has many ports: the military port, the commercial port, the ship repair port, the port of call, the port of records, the fishing port and several marinas. Brest is also one of the most important university towns. It welcomes more than 23 000 students. The town is home to a multidisciplinary university, several French grandes écoles and a civil and military research center. Brest is attractive for its prices which remain reasonable compared to the metropolises.

The housing shortage in Brest is moderate

 

We speak of a housing shortage when the rental market experiences an imbalance between supply and demand. In short, tenants often struggle to find furnished accommodation.

 

As in nearly 20% of cities in France, Brest is experiencing a slight shortage of furnished housing or is at equilibrium, with up to 2 times more demand than supply.

 

We count in Brest about 2 times more demands than offers.

 

What type of accommodation to choose to stay in Brest ? 

 

The type of accommodation is defined by two main criteria.

In real estate jargon, housing types are categorized according to what is called an attribute (T1, T2, T3, T4, etc.). This attribute indicates the number of living rooms: the living room and the bedroom(s). Thus, a T1 apartment is a dwelling which is composed of only one room, a T2 apartment which contains two rooms etc.

We can also categorize the types of accommodation according to the mode of rental. We will then find the following types of accommodation: entire accommodation, shared accommodation, residence, homestay, accommodation in exchange for services, CROUS, etc.

  • 45% of furnished accommodation offered to Brest are studios or T1

  • 45% of furnished apartments for rent are one-bedroom from Brest apartments 

  • 73% of the furnished rental offer in the most crowded city of Finistère concerns apartments T3 or more

 

What surface for a furnished apartment in Brest? 

The type of accommodation only indicates the number of rooms and not the size of the apartment. Thus, a T1 apartment can be larger than a T3 apartment. It is therefore necessary to take an interest in its surface! 

  • 15% of accommodations is less than 40m²

  • The size of 70% of accommodations is between 40 and 99m²

  • It is necessary to count a surface of more than 100m² for 15% of rental apartments in Brest

 

What is the average rent for renting a furnished apartment in Brest? 

The average rent per m² is 11€/sq.m. A tenant will have to provide on average 400€/month to stay in a furnished apartment in Brest. 

It is necessary to count a budget, charges included, of:

  • 330€/month for a studio or a one-bedroom apartment,

  • 440€/month for a two-bedroom apartment,

  • 600€/month for a T3 apartment, including the entire accommodation offered for shared accommodation.

Rents for a furnished apartment in Brest or in its periphery vary greatly depending on the location and type of housing.

 

Where to find a furnished apartment in Brest?

To find your apartment in Brest, you obviously have to choose its location. We advise you to check the proximity of your accommodation to your place of work or study, the metro station... and the neighborhoods that attract you!
