Renting an Apartment in Heidelberg: What to Know

Heidelberg is Germany's oldest university city, and its rental market reflects that legacy — competitive and pricey for a city of just 160,000, driven by 30,000 students and the city's international academic reputation. Mannheim, just 15 minutes away by S-Bahn, offers genuinely better value.
