Sas- en Bassijnwijk Rent Prices in Ghent 2026
Our Verdict
"The Grid"
At a median of €14.2/m², you aren't paying for prestige; you're paying for functional space that hasn't been fully cannibalized by student housing. We classify this area as "THE_GRID" because it is predictable and gritty, offering a decent baseline for those who find the city center's neighborhood analysis too bloated. It is a solid bet for renters who prioritize square footage over having a trendy bar on every corner, though the €17.5/m² top end is pushing it for this location.
The Vibe:It’s a landscape of industrial skeletons and reclaimed brickwork where the northern port edge meets residential Ghent. You are trading the postcard views of the Graslei for the grey expanse of the Wiedauwkaai and the heavy-duty hum of Gent-Zeehaven. The crowd is a mix of port workers and renters who prefer concrete and canal views over manicured city parks.
The median rent price in Sas- en Bassijnwijk, Ghent is €14.2 per m² per month, 3% above the Ghent city average of €13.8/m². Based on 1 verified rental data points as of February 2026.

Locals Ask
How does the average rent here compare to the rest of Ghent?
At €14.2/m², it’s mid-range, offering more breathing room than the city center but without the 'green' premium of Sint-Denijs-Westrem.
Is the parking as bad as people say?
Compared to the hellscape of the center, it’s manageable, but the proximity to industrial zones means heavy truck traffic on the main arteries.
Are the m² stats skewed by new builds?
Yes, the newer loft conversions near the water push the ceiling toward €17.5/m², while the older terraced houses stay near the €11.8 mark.
What is the long-term investment outlook?
Positive, as the city’s development continues to creep north toward the docks, though it remains a slow-burn gentrification zone.
Can I get to the city center easily?
You’re dependent on Bus 5 or a 10-minute bike ride; don't expect a quick stroll to the Korenmarkt.
