Best neighborhoods under $1,500/month in Heidelberg
Altstadt
Heidelberg's Altstadt is the historic core — cobblestones, the Hauptstraße, the castle on the hillside. Heidelberg's humanities faculties sit here. Pretty, walkable, and the most romantic option.
$500 – $1,100/mo
Neuenheim
Neuenheim sits across the Neckar — the Neuenheimer Feld campus houses medicine, physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics. The dominant science neighborhood. Walking + biking distance to most labs.

Bergheim
Bergheim sits west of Altstadt — quieter, more affordable, walking distance to Hauptbahnhof. The classic budget choice for Heidelberg students who don't want to share a WG.
