Rental prices and market figures Bloemenbuurt, Gooise Meren

Bloemenbuurt is predominantly an owner-occupied neighbourhood: 76% of the housing stock consists of owner-occupied homes. Of the remaining 24% rental properties, about 10% are owned by housing associations (social rent) and 13% are other private-sector landlords.

This is significantly higher than what you pay elsewhere in the district Eng or the municipality on average: the WOZ value in Bloemenbuurt is €649,000, well above the district average of €439,000 and also above the municipal average of €559,000. That higher property value translates directly into higher private-sector rents.

Primary schools are located in or directly adjacent to the neighbourhood, which partly explains why the proportion of families with children (235 households) is relatively high.
