How do I find a place to live in Hasselt?

We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:

"Finding a place to live in Hasselt, involves several steps. First, you need to determine your budget and the type of accommodation you're looking for. This could range from a single room in a shared apartment to a family-sized house. Next, you should start your search online. Websites like Immoweb, Zimmo, and Realo are popular real estate platforms in Belgium where you can find listings for apartments, houses, and rooms for rent in Hasselt. You can filter your search based on your preferences such as location, price, size, and type of property. Another good resource is local newspapers and their online versions. They often have a section dedicated to property listings. Social media can also be a useful tool. There are Facebook groups such as "Expats in Hasselt" or "Housing in Hasselt" where people often post available rooms or apartments. If you're a student, you can check with your university's housing office. They often have resources to help students find housing, and they may have listings for rooms or apartments for rent. You can also consider hiring a real estate agent. They can help you navigate the housing market, arrange viewings, and handle negotiations with landlords. Once you've found a place you're interested in, you should arrange a viewing. This will give you a chance to see the property in person, check its condition, and ask any questions you might have. Finally, if you decide to rent a property, you'll need to sign a lease agreement. Make sure to read it carefully and understand all the terms before signing. It's also a good idea to have a lawyer or a knowledgeable person review it. Remember, finding a place to live can take time, so it's a good idea to start your search well in advance of when you plan to move," said one expat who made the move to Hasselt.
