Zadar students face housing challenges and rising rental costs

For students living alone, monthly rents typically range from 500 to 600 euros, while shared living arrangements often cost around 350 euros per person. In highly sought-after areas like Poluotok, small apartments of approximately 30 square meters can cost 600 euros, while larger, better-positioned units for multiple occupants can exceed 900 euros. Other popular locations include Jazine and Višnjik, where prices reflect proximity to the university and transport hubs.
