Renting a kot in Namur, step-by-step
Finding a kot in Namur means settling in the Walloon capital, at the confluence of the Sambre and Meuse rivers. With UNamur (University of Namur, founded in 1831), Hénallux, IATA and HEAJ, Namur welcomes around 15,000 students in a unique natural setting — the Citadelle dominates the city, and the Meuse banks can be explored by bike all the way to Dinant. The median rent for a kot in Namur is €400/month, positioned just above Liège or Mons but below Brussels and Louvain-la-Neuve. The pedestrian centre (Corbeil-Doré, rue Saint-Loup, rue des Brasseurs) brings together student life with over 50 bars and restaurants. Plus, Namur is 1 hour from Brussels by direct train and in the geographical centre of Wallonia.
