HERE ARE THE MOST CENTRAL AREAS OF LILLE:

Center: especially a lot of shops, to avoid if you like peace and quiet.

Lille Saint-maurice: Rather family and business district, for people wishing to live near the station but in a more “village” area

Vieux Lille: More bourgeois district, all in cobblestones. Real estate is old, this district is more popular with young working people.

Wazemmes: Popular district in gentrification. This district is home to the famous “Wazemmes Market” is a multicultural district, in full “boboisation”.

Vauban: THE benchmark student district.

Port of Lille: An evolving district, bordering the citadel, it is appreciated by joogeurs and young workers

The city of Lille is dynamic, on a human scale and pleasant to live in.

It is above all a city with a majority of students, it has more than 150,000

The real estate market is said to be “tense”, with demand being greater than supply and especially with regard to small surfaces

FINDING ACCOMMODATION IN LILLE CAN SOMETIMES TURN OUT TO BE A REAL JOURNEY OF THE FIGHTER

A few tips :

Establish a good complete file, from the time of the visit

Be presentable and smiling, in order to convince the owner to accept you as a future tenant

Be persuasive about your creditworthiness

Arm yourself with patience, the competition is tough.

If you are having difficulty finding accommodation despite your best efforts, you can call a relocation agency to help you with your search.
