Rental homes in Berggierslanden, Meppel

Berggierslanden: new-build neighbourhood with a village feel and high ratings

Berggierslanden is one of the newest neighbourhoods in Meppel, and you can tell from everything. The houses are modern, the streets are wide, and the gardens are green. It is a neighbourhood built with families in mind, and that matches the figures: the largest age group is 0 to 15 years (1,120 residents), and no fewer than 855 households have children living at home. On the neighbourhood page of Berggierslanden, residents rate the neighbourhood a 9.5 out of 10. That is exceptional. Safety, greenery, beauty, and education in particular score a perfect 10. One resident describes the neighbourhood as a place where children can play safely outside and you know your neighbours. That sense of community (score: 9.0) is palpable: street activities are regularly organised and involvement is high.

The neighbourhood consists of two distinct areas. In Plantenbuurt you will mainly find terraced houses and semi-detached houses, while Scheepsbuurt has slightly more variety in housing types. Both areas share the same quiet, green appearance. Amenities such as primary schools and playgrounds are within walking distance, and the De Havens shopping centre in the centre of Meppel can be reached within ten minutes by bike. Accessibility scores the lowest of all categories at 7.0. That makes sense: Berggierslanden is located on the southwestern edge of Meppel. Meppel Station is about four kilometres away, and the A32 towards Zwolle or Leeuwarden can be reached via the N375. Without a car, you need to plan a bit more, although a city bus runs.

Energy consumption in the neighbourhood is remarkably low: an average of 1,070 m³ of gas per year, which fits with the relatively new, well-insulated housing stock. With 46% highly educated residents and an average income of €45,900 (well above the Meppel average of €35,100), it is a neighbourhood with an above-average profile. This translates into well-maintained gardens, new cars on the driveway, and little decay.

Renting in Berggierslanden: for whom and for whom not?

A rental home in Berggierslanden is particularly interesting for families who value space, safety, and a green living environment but are (not yet) willing or able to buy. With rents starting at €1,245 per month in the private sector, the supply is aimed at households with above-average incomes. For starters or singles looking for an affordable apartment to rent in Berggierslanden, the supply is too limited and too expensive.
