Only 40 minutes from the Arcachon basin and the Dune du Pilat, a prime location for planning weekends at the ocean, Bordeaux is also very well known at the regional level for its wines and its high quality wineries. Every year, several thousand foreign students come to Bordeaux to study, thanks to the Erasmus program among others, which proves that the city of Aquitaine knows how to be attractive. With its architecture, similar to that of the beautiful Parisian districts, its renowned schools and its mild weather, Bordeaux is a city where it is good to live and even more so in a shared apartment where you can meet people and discover the city that is nicknamed "the port of the moon". Student life is particularly rich here and living in a shared apartment is the perfect way to go out, meet new people, share good tips and make the most of the capital of the Gironde!

It is not always easy to find a room to share in Bordeaux for a student or a young worker. Indeed, a landlord will often ask you for a very complete file and will privilege the potential roommates with the strongest file. Finding a room in Bordeaux can quickly become an obstacle course. Add to that the usual difficulty of moving, which can be a real problem if you are moving to a city where you don't know anyone and will have a hard time finding help. That's why Chez Nestor offers a solution to facilitate your search for a roommate. Finding a room has never been easier thanks to our services that allow you to :

The cost of living in Bordeaux has increased significantly over the last 5 to 10 years. This has had an impact on every shared apartment. Although the cost of living is similar to that of Lyon, the cost of renting in Bordeaux is still a bit higher, probably because the rental market is so tight. Thus, finding a rental can be particularly complex. Indeed, the number of students is increasing and the number of places available in student residences is limited. You should also know that the city is more and more coveted by Parisians who wish to leave the capital to live in a more pleasant city like Bordeaux, which has the effect of pulling up rents. The same logic can be seen in Lyon. As the area of activity is very dynamic, it is rather easy to find a well-paid job there. Finally, the location, the weather, and the living environment are criteria that attract more and more new inhabitants, which will inevitably increase the cost of living and therefore the cost of housing, particularly in downtown Bordeaux. The cost of living is therefore between that of Paris and that of Lyon, and the cost of a shared apartment follows the same logic.
The average price of a Chez Nestor rental depends on several criteria such as
The tension of the rental market
Seasonality
The unique qualities of each rental we offer
The location of the apartment or house
This explains the variation in rental prices for our shared apartments in Bordeaux. During periods of high rental tension, the rent can range from €550 to €850 including all charges, on average, and depending on the criteria mentioned above. Of course, we offer shared rooms at more moderate rents, but we also offer more premium apartments where you will have to pay a little more to gain in space and comfort.
Chez Nestor's turnkey offer does not include any hidden fees. The amount of your rent is always calculated according to your base rent plus the charges which are 70 € all year long. These include :
Unlimited Internet.
Water.
Electricity.
Gas (if there is a gas stove for example).
Garbage tax.
Housing insurance
Condominium fees

Also known as Bacalan, the 1st arrondissement of Bordeaux is a good choice of roommate for those looking for a quiet place to live in the city. Located in the very north and a bit far from the city center, you will find a choice of houses and shared apartments in mainly residential and commercial areas. It is not the most festive district, but there are plenty of green spaces and you can even stroll along the banks of the Garonne River, enough to take a few pleasant strolls between roommates!
These neighborhoods are among the most peaceful in Bordeaux and, like the first arrondissement, are very pleasant to live in. With the appearance of small villages, life in a shared apartment is peaceful while being very close to the city center. These flowery neighborhoods are popular with families because of their proximity to schools, parks, stores, and cultural venues. Rents are therefore generally higher in these areas.
With its lively pedestrian streets and its dynamism, downtown Bordeaux is surely the best district to live in if you want to party, enjoy the bars and meet people. Its proximity to various schools and universities as well as to rue sainte Catherine, the city's main shopping street, in the heart of the historic center of Bordeaux, will charm students, erasmus students and young workers wishing to live in an apartment there.
Straddling the center and the west of Bordeaux, these different neighborhoods, home to the university hospital, could well be the perfect place to look for a rental if you are a medical student. Crossed by the streetcar A and various bus lines, this neighborhood is very pleasant for its proximity to the city center and its many amenities accessible in a few steps.
Very close to the city and very lively, this district offers nearly thirty recreational establishments as well as the famous Saint-Jean train station. Its Capucins market is very appreciated. Your roommate will also be able to go to the various bars and bistros which are more than varied there.
With its lively Place de la Victoire and its Saint Jean train station, the district of Bordeaux south is a very good choice for those who want to live there as a roommate. However, it is a neighborhood where rents are relatively high due to its proximity to the city center and the quality of the housing.
The only neighborhood on the right bank of the Garonne, la Bastide is the most affordable neighborhood in the city. A former industrial district, this area of the city is currently undergoing rehabilitation. You can discover the botanical gardens and the Angelic Park, perfect places to stroll with your roommates.
Being a former independent commune of Bordeaux, this neighborhood merged with the city in 1965, which explains its specificities. With the Bordeaux park, this district will delight future sportsmen and women who will be able to run around all year round and enjoy the greenery!
