Flat to rent 3+1 • 37 m² without real estateKrayer Straße 28 Bochum Leithe Nordrhein-Westfalen 44866

From December 1, 2026, we are offering a cozy three-room top-floor apartment for rent (3rd floor, right-hand side). It is located in a well-maintained apartment building dating from 1956 at Krayer Straße 28 in Bochum. The apartment, with approximately 37 m² of living space, has just been completely renovated: newly wallpapered, freshly painted, and fitted with new laminate flooring. You can therefore move in immediately without having to do any work yourself beforehand. The apartment’s total floor area before deducting the sloped ceilings is approximately 49 m².

The apartment comprises three rooms, a separate kitchen, a hallway, and a bathroom. The layout makes it easy to keep living, sleeping, and working areas separate—for example, by setting up a dedicated home office or dressing room. The apartment is particularly suitable for singles or commuters looking for an affordable, well-maintained home with a clearly defined layout.

If desired, a parking space in the quiet rear courtyard can be rented for an additional €20 per month.
