Flat to rent 3+1 • 76 m² without real estateViktoriastraße 18 Bochum - Bochum-Mitte Bochum Nordrhein-Westfalen 44787

Morning coffee on the balcony surrounded by greenery, relaxing in the evening while watching the sunset – here you can enjoy peace and quiet while still being right in the heart of the city.

The apartment is very well equipped and has been freshly painted (non-smoking apartment). The large, sunny living room with balcony overlooks a quiet, green courtyard. The balcony enjoys sunshine throughout the day from midday onwards. Everything is prepared in the living room for the installation of a wood-burning stove that would provide cozy warmth. The building is otherwise heated by district heating.

A study also faces the courtyard and can alternatively be used as a child’s room or guest room. On the other side of the apartment, you will find the spacious bedroom. The bathroom has natural light and features a bathtub, attractive fittings, and large white tiles. A stylish guest WC and a utility room for a washing machine and dryer complete the range of rooms.

New energy-efficient windows with additional sound insulation have been installed on the quiet street-facing side. You cannot hear the occasional passing cars at all. The windows turn the scene outside the building into a silent movie, providing you with an oasis of tranquility in the heart of the city.

The other tenants in the building are quiet and friendly. With the exception of one retired couple, they are all working professionals (IT experts, a university professor, a secondary-school teacher, engineers, etc.). The apartment is privately rented out by the owner. The current tenant, a Catholic priest, is moving to northern Germany for professional reasons. The photos show the apartment empty before the current tenant moved in.

The move-in date is flexible between January 1 and March 1, 2027, making it suitable even for those who still have to give three months’ notice on their current home.

The pedestrian zone (Kortumstraße and Huestraße), offering all the shopping amenities of a major city, is just a one-minute walk from the apartment. The subway, cafés and restaurants, banks, bookshops, and doctors are just around the corner, while supermarkets, drugstores, and bakeries are only a few minutes away on foot. A large REWE supermarket, open until after 11 p.m., is less than 100 meters from the front door. A large, modern gym with a full range of equipment is 200 meters from the building. The Bermuda Triangle, Bochum’s nightlife district, and the Musikforum, home of the Bochum Symphony Orchestra, can be reached in three minutes. The Schauspielhaus theater, schools, and daycare centers are all very close by, and the municipal park is not far away. The university can be reached quickly by subway, while the main railway station is a seven-minute walk away. I can arrange a private parking space for you for approximately €70 per month. A rear door in the building leads directly to the Viktoria Garagengesellschaft parking lot, which offers both outdoor and underground parking spaces.

All rooms have smooth fine-plaster walls painted white. The living areas have light-colored vinyl flooring, while the kitchen, bathroom, hallway, and storage rooms feature slate-gray porcelain stoneware tiles. The windowsills are made of granite.

For an additional charge of just €30 per month, you can rent the fitted kitchen, which includes a granite sink, ceramic hob, oven, dishwasher, microwave, fridge-freezer, electric kettle, and toaster. Custom-made pleated blinds and curtains for all windows can also be included if desired. Alternatively, you are welcome to bring your own kitchen.

The apartment includes a private basement storage room, and there is additional space in the basement for bicycles.

Energy details: consumption-based energy certificate, district heating, built in 1956, final energy consumption 95.6 kWh/(m²·year), energy-efficiency class C.

The basic rent is €940, plus monthly advance payments of €180 for ancillary costs (property tax, insurance, water, wastewater, waste collection, and satellite TV) and €120 for heating. The total monthly payment is €1,240. Security deposit: three months’ basic rent. An index-linked tenancy agreement pursuant to Section 557b of the German Civil Code (BGB) will be concluded.

The building offers a comprehensive service: a caretaker puts out the garbage bins and may also accept parcels, while the stairwell is cleaned every week. This means you will not be responsible for either stairwell cleaning or garbage-bin duty. The building is geared toward working professionals who do not wish to take care of such tasks themselves. The associated costs are included in the ancillary charges.

Viewings will be available from November 15.

I am happy to rent my apartment to polite and reliable people. I do not respond to inquiries consisting of half a sentence. If you are interested, please tell me who you are, how I can contact you by telephone, what you do for a living, who you have been working for and since when, and how many people would be moving in. I will then be happy to get in touch with you.
