House rental in the governorate of Tunis

Renting a house in the governorate of Tunis means combining capital-city life with the comfort of a real home of your own: several bedrooms, a garage, often a terrace or a garden. The territory stretches from the historic centre to the hills of the northern suburbs, taking in well-established residential neighbourhoods such as Le Bardo and Montfleury. Each area has its own atmosphere, its schools and its rent level.

On Houni.tn, listings for houses to rent in Tunis are published by private owners and professionals from across the governorate. Filter by neighbourhood, floor area and budget to quickly spot the family house that fits your daily life.

Why rent a house in Tunis rather than a flat

In the capital, flats dominate the market, but a house remains the choice of families who want space without leaving the city. For a comparable rent, a house in El Omrane or Le Bardo often offers an extra room, its own entrance and outdoor space for the children. It is also a popular option for Tunisians living abroad who return home and want to rediscover a family lifestyle close to schools, markets and transport (light metro, TGM to the northern suburbs).

The key neighbourhoods for a house to rent in Tunis

Centre and west: Mutuelle Ville, Montfleury, El Omrane, Le Bardo

Mutuelle Ville wins people over with its quiet streets and its proximity to clinics and secondary schools. Montfleury and El Omrane offer traditional townhouses at more accessible rents. Le Bardo, served by the metro, remains a safe bet for families with its network of shops and schools.

Northern suburbs: La Marsa, Gammarth, Carthage, Sidi Bou Saïd

La Marsa and Gammarth are where you find houses and villas with gardens, prized for the beach and the international schools. Carthage and Sidi Bou Saïd offer a unique heritage setting, with characterful residences facing the sea. Rents there are the highest in the governorate, especially in summer.

Budget and viewing: our advice before signing

Rents vary sharply between the west of the capital and the coast: set your maximum budget including charges before viewing. On site, check the state of the roof and the walls for damp, the water pressure and the electrical installation. In the northern suburbs, ask whether the rent is annual or seasonal: some houses see their price double in summer. Finally, insist on a written contract stating the amount of the deposit and how maintenance work is shared.
