One of the most dynamic regions in the country, Cluj is a leader for the broader Center-West area. Its youthful and entrepreneurial vibe appeals to more than 679,000 inhabitants, out of which 287,0000 live in Cluj-Napoca, the county’s capital.

A beacon of entrepreneurial success among Romanian regional leaders, Cluj’s strong economic development is fuelled by the second-largest population of students -72,000. All these figures translate in a powerful demand for modern housing units. The strong demand, without a similar offer, leads to high price increases.

According to imobiliare.ro, prices for new units reached in September 3,230 EUR/sqm, 75% higher than the medium prices at national level. As compared to September 2023, the increase is 20.6%.

Areas with the biggest offer include: Manastur, Marasti and Gruia. Each new apartment put for sale has two potential buyers. The biggest demand is in the Center & Zorilor areas.

The medium rents for new residential units reached in September 690 EUR/month, a 6% increase, compared to the same period from the previous year.

For each new apartment listed for rent there are three potential tenants. Marasti, Center, Manastur and Zorilor are the most wanted areas for rented apartments.
