Rent in the east of Bremen: Is your living space still affordable?

Rent in the east of Bremen: Is your living space still affordable?

Gartenstadt Vahr, Bremen, Deutschland - The rents in Bremen are rising rapidly! Especially in the east of the city, many citizens have to raise a significant part of their income for living. The Bremen rent index should now clarify whether the rents required are still appropriate. An online calculator on the website of the rent index enables the prices to be compared in different districts and thus better assess the rental offers.

An example from the garden city of Vahr shows that a 74 square meter apartment is offered for 705 euros in rent - this corresponds to around 9.50 euros per square meter. But is that really justified? The rent index takes into account the equipment and the year of construction (1956) to a price of only 8.85 euros per square meter. The uncertainty about additional modernizations could further influence the price. The situation is similar in Tenever, where a 77 square meter apartment is inserted for 626 euros. According to the rent index, the square meter price is 7.76 euros, which is only slightly below the required price.

Surprising results in single -family houses

The situation for single -family houses in Sebaldsbrück is particularly striking. For a 129 square meter house, 1050 euros are required, which corresponds to 8.14 euros per square meter. But the rent index shows a significantly lower price of 6.75 euros, since the final modernization took place in the 1980s. This discrepancy raises questions: Why are prices so different? According to the construction site, the garden has no influence on the net rent, which increases the confusion.

The data situation shows that the Bremen rent index is a useful instrument to compare rental prices, especially for apartments. However, the accuracy of the online calculator depends heavily on the available information about the property. In the case of single -family houses, the situation remains unclear, and those interested in rent should be particularly careful here and take a closer look so as not to get into the price spiral.
