Furnished Apartments in Ghent: Mid-Term Rentals for Expats, Academics & Professionals
Globexs is a corporate housing and relocation company that has rented furnished mid-term apartments in Belgium for more than 20 years, with homes in Ghent, Brussels and Antwerp. All apartments come fully furnished and all-inclusive, with flexible contracts from 1 to 11 months and prices from €1,500 per month, and check-in is possible the same day or the next day after signing.
In Ghent we house visiting academics and researchers at Ghent University, specialists from the biotech and life-sciences cluster, professionals working at North Sea Port, corporate teams relocated by their employers (with one all-in monthly invoice for HR and mobility departments), and individual expats who want a home without the commitment of a 12-month Belgian lease. Newcomers must register with the city administration within 8 days of arrival — a procedure Globexs guides every tenant through.
Ghent itself is one of Europe's most livable cities: a medieval centre largely closed to cars, a university of more than 45,000 students, canal-side architecture and a food scene that made it a vegetarian pioneer, with trains reaching Brussels in about 35 minutes and Antwerp in about an hour.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about renting in Ghent with Globexs.
Globexs apartments in Ghent start at €1,500 per month, all-inclusive. The exact price depends on size, neighbourhood and length of stay. Every price covers furniture, utilities, Wi-Fi, linens and a fully equipped kitchen on one all-in monthly invoice, so there are no separate contracts to set up on arrival.
Check-in can take place the same day or the next day after the contract is signed and the first month is paid by instant transfer, if a suitable apartment is free. Globexs houses teams of 1 to 50 people. September is the busiest month, so enquire early for autumn arrivals.
The minimum rental period is 1 month and the maximum is 11 months — the same in Ghent as in Brussels and Antwerp. Contracts are straightforward to extend within that range, which suits academic terms, research fellowships and project assignments that do not fit a standard 12-month Belgian lease.
All Globexs properties in Ghent are fully equipped for immediate comfortable living: complete furniture throughout, quality bed linens and towels, a fully equipped kitchen with appliances and cookware, high-speed Wi-Fi, utilities (electricity, water, gas, heating), regular maintenance handled by our local team, and access to our tenant portal. Invoicing is suitable for corporate and university expense reporting.
Yes. Ghent University has more than 45,000 students and is one of Europe's leading research institutions, and the city hosts a substantial biotech and life-sciences cluster. We regularly place visiting professors, postdoctoral researchers and fellows whose stays run for a semester or a project rather than a full year, which is exactly what our 1 to 11 month contracts are built for.
Ghent has one of Europe's largest car-free medieval centres, so most tenants walk or cycle. Trams and buses run by De Lijn cover the wider city, and Gent-Sint-Pieters station reaches Brussels in about 35 minutes and Antwerp in about an hour. A car is rarely needed, and parking in the centre is deliberately restricted.
Yes. Globexs rents furnished mid-term apartments in Ghent, Brussels and Antwerp, all on 1 to 11 month contracts with the same all-inclusive prices and one all-in monthly invoice.
