Are you looking for your first student apartment? Try Smart search
Smart search is designed for you who are looking for your first student apartment in the Helsinki metropolitan area. This AI-powered service helps you understand your options, even if the area or rent levels are not yet familiar to you.
The Smart search recommends apartments near your educational institution
The Smart search helps you find suitable places to live based on a brief survey. You’ll answer a few simple questions:
- Which educational institution do you study at?
- Are you a degree student or an exchange student?
- What is your monthly rent budget?
- Are you moving alone or with someone?
- Are you bringing your pet with you?
Based on this information, Smart search searches Hoas’s housing inventory and suggests properties that are a good fit for you. You’ll quickly get an idea of what kinds of apartments and neighborhoods might suit your situation.
Getting to know the areas
Smart search helps you get started when you’re looking for a suitable home for the duration of your studies. The service recommends areas in the Helsinki metropolitan area that are close to your school and offer student housing that fits your budget. You can also ask it to expand your search to get more options.
The Smart search cannot yet check the best public transportation routes. If there’s a subway or train line running near your school, even a longer commute can be smooth and quick. So it’s a good idea to check out Hoas’s areas on the map as well: https://maps.hoas.fi
