Rental homes in Aalderinkshoek Noordwest, Almelo

Rental prices and market figures for Aalderinkshoek Noordwest, Almelo

Aalderinkshoek Noordwest is predominantly a social housing neighbourhood: 69% of homes are rental properties and as much as 62% of the total housing stock is owned by a housing corporation. Only 6% falls under other (private) landlords, meaning that the free-sector supply here is limited. In the past twelve months, one property was rented in the free sector (excluding social housing) for a rent of €1,250 per month. Due to this low number, a reliable price per m² cannot be calculated. For the current available rental properties and their daily prices, you can consult the overview at the top of this page.

The average WOZ value in Aalderinkshoek Noordwest is €191,000. That is clearly lower than the average for the district Wierdense Hoek (€233,000) and significantly lower than the municipal average of Almelo (€272,000). This reflects the character of the neighbourhood: relatively simple housing with a large share of social housing, and therefore lower market values than in surrounding neighbourhoods. Anyone looking for a rental home in Aalderinkshoek Noordwest in the free sector has little choice. The social housing market dominates here completely.

The average income is €22,100 per year, which is lower than the district and municipal averages. The labour participation rate is 52%, and only 9% of residents have a higher education. These are sober figures that accurately reflect the social profile of the neighbourhood: Aalderinkshoek Noordwest is a working-class neighbourhood in the literal sense of the word.
