With the same budget, is it better to rent a 180 m\u00b2 office right next to a train station or opt for 240 m\u00b2 in a less central area? The answer is not as straightforward as it might seem. A well-connected location can make daily commutes and business meetings easier. But having more space can also make a real difference to how a company operates.<\/p>\n

Before deciding, you need to understand exactly what you stand to gain from each option and what you would be giving up.<\/p>\n

\n

Key takeaways<\/h2>\n

With the same budget, offices near a train or metro station are not automatically the best choice. It depends on the practical value of that accessibility to the business and the compromises required to secure the location.<\/p>\n

Floor space should not automatically be the first thing to sacrifice.<\/strong> Downsizing can make sense if essential functions are preserved. Conversely, gaining extra space offers little benefit if the location makes day-to-day operations more difficult.<\/p>\n

The best approach is to compare actual offers with similar budgets and service levels, rather than simply setting a central address against a less sought-after neighbourhood.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Immediate access to transport or more office space: which should you prioritise?<\/h2>\n

At first glance, the choice seems simple: prioritise an easily accessible location and accept less space, or move further out to secure larger offices. Yet two spaces offered at the same price can provide very different working conditions, regardless of their size.<\/p>\n

The real question is what each location offers your business, and what compromises it requires.<\/p>\n

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Location option<\/th>\nPotential benefit<\/th>\nCompromise to consider<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Right next to a major train station or transport hub<\/td>\nEasier business travel and access for visitors arriving from different areas<\/td>\nDoes the budget still allow for sufficient space and a suitable layout?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Near a well-connected secondary station<\/td>\nAccess to a different range of properties, sometimes with a better balance between price and space<\/td>\nDoes the transport network serve the journeys that really matter to the business?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
In a neighbourhood further from major transport hubs<\/td>\nPotentially more space, a different layout or additional amenities<\/td>\nDo the property benefits outweigh the extra travel constraints?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n

These three options do not follow a fixed price hierarchy. A secondary station may serve an expensive office market, while an address close to a major transport hub may offer attractive terms.<\/p>\n

The key is to identify where the company has room to compromise. Some trade-offs can improve the balance between cost and space; others may make day-to-day operations more difficult for years to come.<\/p>\n

You know your requirements. Hiptown can narrow down the options.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Working within a set budget, looking for particular transport connections, needing a minimum floor area or specific facilities? Rather than spending time on endless searches, share your criteria with Hiptown. Our team can identify suitable spaces among the locations we can offer and arrange targeted viewings.<\/p>\n

The aim is to let you focus on making the decision rather than managing the search.<\/p>\n

Let Hiptown shortlist your options<\/a><\/p>\n

Are offices near a train station always more expensive?<\/h2>\n

Proximity to public transport can affect rental values, but it does not explain price differences on its own. The neighbourhood, building quality, condition of the premises and available floor areas also play an important part. Two offices just a few minutes from comparable stations can have significantly different rents.<\/p>\n

Cushman & Wakefield’s 2025\u20132026 study<\/a> of offices near metro stations in the Paris region highlights these differences. The average asking rent for the properties studied is \u20ac580\/m\u00b2\/year, compared with \u20ac860\/m\u00b2\/year in Paris’s Central Business District. These figures exclude VAT and service charges and cover office spaces of more than 100 m\u00b2 offered for rent. They reflect differences between property markets, not simply the impact of proximity to public transport.<\/p>\n

For a business, the more useful question is whether the price difference between two offers is justified by a tangible benefit. A less expensive location might allow the company to retain an essential meeting room or plan for future recruitment. Conversely, paying more for a highly accessible address can make sense if it facilitates frequent business travel or makes it easier to welcome external visitors.<\/p>\n

It is also essential to compare like with like. A conventional lease priced per square metre, a furnished office and a managed office with services included<\/a> do not cover the same expenses. Service charges, furniture, fit-out, available services and contract terms can all have a significant effect on the total budget.<\/p>\n

The most useful measure is therefore not just the price per square metre, but what the company actually gets for its budget.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The value of a station depends on how your business uses its offices<\/h2>\n

A consultancy that regularly welcomes clients from different cities does not have the same priorities as a team that mainly works together on site.<\/p>\n

For the consultancy, a major station can be a genuine operational advantage: meetings are easier to organise, visitors have several transport options and business journeys can be simpler. The location directly supports the company’s activities.<\/p>\n

For an internally focused team, such a central location may matter less. A company that mainly uses its offices for project work, team coordination or internal meetings may prefer to allocate more of its budget to spaces suited to those activities.<\/p>\n

How often people travel matters just as much as why they travel. Welcoming a partner from another region once a quarter does not necessarily justify the same trade-offs as hosting several clients every week.<\/p>\n

Compare door-to-door journeys, not just the walk from the station<\/h3>\n

The distance between an office and the nearest station is a useful reference point, but it does not tell the whole story about accessibility. To assess employees’ daily commutes<\/a>, start with where they live and consider the entire journey: walking time, connections and service frequency.<\/p>\n

The same applies to regular client visits and travel between the company’s different sites. An office three minutes from a major station may still be inconvenient if most employees need to change trains several times. Conversely, an address slightly further from a station may offer better connections to the places people actually travel to.<\/p>\n

Before prioritising a particular station or metro line, compare a few representative door-to-door journeys for your business.<\/strong> This is the best way to distinguish an address that merely looks attractive from one that is genuinely convenient.<\/p>\n

How much office space can you give up for a better location?<\/h2>\n

When a sought-after location means accepting less floor space, the issue is not simply how many square metres you lose. It is what that reduction changes about the way your offices function.<\/p>\n

This is where an often-overlooked threshold comes into play. Downsizing may have little impact if a more efficient layout is possible or if rarely used spaces can be shared. It can, however, become problematic if it means losing a meeting room, reducing privacy or limiting an essential capacity to accommodate people.<\/p>\n

A compact office with access to shared meeting rooms and communal areas may offer more possibilities than a similarly sized, fully self-contained private space. This can allow a company to keep a desirable location without paying year-round for rooms it only uses occasionally.<\/p>\n

But having access to shared facilities does not guarantee that they will be available when needed<\/strong>. A meeting room that must be booked is not always a substitute for a private one. Opening hours, booking conditions, additional costs and confidentiality all need checking.<\/p>\n

For a company that rarely holds overlapping meetings, this arrangement can work very well. For a team that welcomes clients every day or regularly conducts several confidential discussions at once, its limitations may quickly become apparent.<\/p>\n

So the right question is not \u201cHow many square metres can we give up?\u201d but \u201cWhich essential functions must our new offices retain?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

This approach makes it easier to compare managed offices, private offices with shared facilities and conventional office floors, without assuming that more space is automatically better.<\/p>\n

Same budget, two offices: very different decisions<\/h2>\n

Consider a consultancy with 25 employees. On a typical day, 18 people work in the office at the same time, with occasional peaks of up to 20. The company regularly welcomes clients, holds several meetings each week and wants some room to grow.<\/p>\n

Its target monthly budget is \u20ac9,000 excluding VAT<\/strong>, covering office occupancy and everyday services.<\/p>\n

Two furnished office options in the same metropolitan area meet this budget, but offer different features.<\/p>\n

The following comparison is entirely fictional.<\/strong> The floor areas, capacities and prices are illustrative assumptions, not Hiptown offers or market rates. Both options include essential services such as furniture, internet access and cleaning. The budget shown covers fixed monthly expenses, excluding any additional services or one-off charges.<\/p>\n

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Criterion<\/th>\nOption A: near a major train station<\/th>\nOption B: less central area<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Fixed monthly budget<\/td>\n\u20ac9,000 excl. VAT<\/td>\n\u20ac9,000 excl. VAT<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Private floor area<\/td>\n180 m\u00b2<\/td>\n240 m\u00b2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Access to transport<\/td>\n3-minute walk to a major train station<\/td>\n12-minute walk to a metro station<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Workstations<\/td>\n18 workstations<\/td>\n22 workstations<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Monthly budget per available workstation<\/td>\n\u20ac500 excl. VAT<\/td>\nApproximately \u20ac409 excl. VAT<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Meeting rooms<\/td>\n1 private meeting room + access to a bookable shared meeting room<\/td>\n2 private meeting rooms<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Main advantage<\/td>\nEasy access for visitors and employees<\/td>\nCapacity and independence<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Main limitation<\/td>\nLittle spare workstation capacity; shared room must be booked<\/td>\nPotentially less convenient journeys<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n

The walking distances in this table do not indicate total journey times. Depending on where employees travel from and the connections required, Option B could actually be more accessible for some of the team.<\/p>\n

The monthly budget per workstation is simply a comparison ratio, not a price charged per workstation. It includes all the fixed services assumed in our example.<\/p>\n

With the same budget, Option B provides an extra 60 m\u00b2, or one-third more floor space. In this example, that translates into four additional workstations and one more private meeting room.<\/p>\n

More floor space does not automatically produce a proportionate increase in the number of people an office can accommodate.<\/strong> It can, however, provide useful additional flexibility.<\/p>\n

When are offices close to the station the better choice?<\/h3>\n

If the company regularly welcomes clients from other regions and 18 workstations are enough for its normal operations, Option A could be a good fit.<\/p>\n

It provides the capacity needed on most days and makes the office easier for visitors to reach. The shared meeting room can complement the private space, provided it is actually available when meetings overlap.<\/p>\n

On the occasional days when 20 employees need to be on site simultaneously, the company will need a clear solution: access to extra workstations in the building, a different attendance schedule or additional space.<\/p>\n

This option remains sensible if those situations are rare and easy to manage. It becomes much less attractive if they occur every week.<\/p>\n

When does the 240 m\u00b2 option become more attractive?<\/h3>\n

Now suppose the company regularly has 20 employees on site and often needs to hold two confidential meetings at the same time.<\/p>\n

Option A quickly reaches its limits. Its 18 workstations are no longer sufficient, and access to a second meeting room depends on a booking. With 22 workstations and two private meeting rooms, Option B can meet these needs without constant rearrangements.<\/p>\n

The extra floor space is no longer just about comfort. It provides the operational capacity that can justify a less central location.<\/p>\n

The tipping point: small constraints that change the decision<\/h3>\n

The decision may ultimately come down to details that are missing from an initial property comparison.<\/p>\n

If Option A’s shared meeting room is rarely available at the required times, the company will need to change its working habits or find another solution. If additional bookings are charged separately, the real monthly cost could exceed the initial \u20ac9,000 budget.<\/p>\n

Conversely, if overlapping meetings are rare and peak attendance can be planned in advance, securing an extra 60 m\u00b2 may not be the best use of the budget.<\/p>\n

Another factor is worth checking: the ability to adapt the offices without having to relocate again<\/strong>. Depending on space availability and contract terms, the possibility of adding workstations, using an extra meeting room or changing the layout could substantially affect the value of an offer.<\/p>\n

These points should be checked before signing, based on actual office attendance and meeting requirements.<\/p>\n

In our example, the station-side location may be the better choice when business travel is frequent and workstation needs remain manageable. The 240 m\u00b2 option becomes more attractive when capacity and control over meeting spaces are essential to day-to-day operations.<\/p>\n

The best compromise is not the one with the longest list of advantages on paper. It is the one whose limitations the business can live with.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Before choosing your offices, check these 7 points<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Employees’ door-to-door commute times, taking into account where they live and any required connections.<\/li>\n
  2. The frequency of client visits, intercity business travel and journeys between company sites.<\/li>\n
  3. The maximum number of people who need to be in the office at the same time.<\/li>\n
  4. The functions that must be retained: meeting space, privacy, communal areas or storage.<\/li>\n
  5. The full monthly cost, comparing equivalent services and charges.<\/li>\n
  6. The ability to add workstations or access additional spaces.<\/li>\n
  7. Contract length, options for making changes and exit terms.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
