Apartments for rent: Search and find offers in Mannheim

With around 315,000 inhabitants (as of December 2023),Mannheim is the second largest city in Baden-Württemberg. Due to its location at the confluence of the Neckar and Rhine rivers, opposite its sister city Ludwigshafen and in the border triangle near Rhineland-Palatinate and Hesse, it is a strong business location and an important university city. These are factors that lead to a relatively strong excess demand.

Rents in Mannheim: a competitive housing market

It is not easy to find an apartment in Mannheim. This is because there is a lack of rental apartments on the market. To make matters worse, many singles and couples occupy living space that is also suitable for families. At times, the city has even offered a relocation bonus and is pushing ahead with housing construction. Apartments for rent are therefore still in high demand and not every prospective tenant will get their dream apartment.
