Housing Anywhere is an international online housing platform that focuses on the student housing market. The Rotterdam based start-up was founded in 2009 by Niels van Deuren, a student at that time at the Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University Rotterdam. Since 2014, Djordy Seelman has joined Niels van Deuren in leading Housing Anywhere, as well as the Head of Development.

The student initiative Housing Anywhere was conceptualised and introduced in 2009. The initiative developed from a small student project to a global platform. It began in 2009 when the founder, Niels van Deuren, was studying for a degree in International Business Administration at the Rotterdam School of Management. Included in his studies was a semester abroad at the National University of Singapore, through which he realized a problem and a gap in the market of student housing. Van Deuren noticed the struggle to find housing in Singapore, and in the meantime, also trying to sublet his room in Rotterdam, and through this experience, the company Housing Anywhere was born. In 2014, Housing Anywhere acquired Danish competitor, CasaSwap.

Starting off on a small scale by seeking partnerships with Dutch universities, through which the university would promote the platform to their students, Housing Anywhere began to grow. In 2011, the online platform began to expand internationally, by becoming active in a number of European countries, including Spain, France, Germany, and Denmark. By 2015, Housing Anywhere was operating, through partnerships with universities, in countries outside of Europe, including Brazil,Mexico, and the United States.
