What does a rental property cost in Bargeres?
Bargeres is a neighbourhood where renting and buying are reasonably balanced: 44% of the more than 4,400 homes are rental properties, and the majority of these (34% of the total) are owned by housing associations. The private rental sector is therefore relatively small, with only 10% other landlords. This is noticeable in the limited supply. In the past twelve months, only 13 rental properties were let in the private sector, at an average rent of €946 per month. The range ran from €590 to €1,040 per month, with an average floor area of 101 m². These are annual averages for the private sector, excluding social housing.
If you compare Bargeres with the rest of the municipality of Emmen, it stands out that the WOZ value here, at €193,000, is well below the municipal average of €240,000. The average income (€29,700) is also lower than the €31,600 in Emmen as a whole. This makes Bargeres a more affordable neighbourhood on paper, although private sector supply is scarce.
