In the private sector, 3 homes were rented out last year, with an average rent of €850 per month. The range was between €727 and €1,095 per month, with an average floor area of 40 m².

Aldtsjerk: village tranquillity with a predominantly elderly population
Anyone looking for a rental home in Aldtsjerk is consciously choosing a quiet Frisian village. The village lies in the green area between Leeuwarden and the National Park De Alde Feanen, with lots of open countryside and little traffic. The atmosphere is subdued and communal: people know each other, there are local associations, and the pace is slower than in the city. That is exactly what many residents appreciate. On the neighbourhood page of Aldtsjerk you can read what residents themselves say about living here, including scores per category such as safety, greenery and amenities. Residents often describe the village as quiet and safe, but also point to the limited local amenities: for daily shopping, a GP or public transport, you have to rely on surrounding places like Oentsjerk or Burgum. One resident aptly describes it: "It's wonderfully quiet here, but you do need a car for almost everything."
The population composition tells a clear story: the largest group of residents is 65-plus (825 out of 3,015 residents), followed by the 45-65 age group (730). Young people between 15 and 25 are a small group with 310 residents. You notice this in the village's atmosphere: it is not a place where you encounter many young families or students, although there are 470 children under 15. The labour participation rate is 65% and the average income is €33,400, which is comparable to the municipal average. The nearby Oentsjerk has a similar character and can be a good alternative if the supply in Aldtsjerk itself is disappointing. Also, the scattered houses around Aldtsjerk are worth a look if you want a bit more space and privacy in the rural area.
The municipality itself is working on liveability in the small villages. On the website of municipality Tytsjerksteradiel you can find information about local initiatives, social housing and municipal schemes that may be relevant if you are considering renting a home here.
Renting in Aldtsjerk: who is this village suitable for, and who is it not?
Renting in Aldtsjerk is most suitable for people who consciously choose peace, nature and a close-knit village community, and who are mobile by car or bike. Think of retirees, dual-income earners who want to live outside the city, or people who work from home. For those who depend on public transport, urban amenities or a wide range of rental properties in Aldtsjerk, the supply here is too limited. In that case, it is worth looking at Burgum or Tytsjerk, which have more supply and amenities. Considering buying instead of renting? Then check out the supply of homes for sale in Aldtsjerk, because the owner-occupied market here is considerably larger.
