* 250€ for a share-renting (roughly speaking)

'''Grenoble districts''' :<br />
City life mainly happens around the "hyper-center" : "Victor Hugo", "Notre-Dame", etc. (But very expensive.) Not so far but more quiet is "Europole" (near the station).<br />

* ''Saint Bruno'' : a "village" atmosphere, with its own identity. Lots of different populations (maghrebi, chinese, students, families, associations, lots of small groceries...). <br />
* ''Grand Boulevards'' : high buildings, lots of flats to rent, but not really lively identity. 10-15 minutes walking from the city-center.<br />
* ''Saint Martin d'Hères'' : one of the "suburbs", with big (and sad) buildings<br />
* ''Villeneuve-Village olympique, Fontaine...'' : hem, not recommended if you wanna walk by night safely.<br />
* ...<br />

<!-- Should we avoid from stigmatizing some suburbs, saying "this one is a hot district, don't go there", or should we tell about "violence" and everything ?... -->

Keep in mind that bicycling is easy in Grenoble (flattest city in France), so you can afford living a bit further away (and it will obviously be less expensive).<br />
