Rental homes in Bosserhof, Venlo

Rental prices and market figures Bosserhof, Venlo

In Bosserhof, approximately 35% of the housing stock is rental housing, compared to 65% owner-occupied. This makes it a predominantly owner-occupied neighbourhood, but there is indeed an active rental market. Of the total housing stock of 1,782 homes, about 31% is owned by a housing association, which equates to social housing. Only 4% is owned by other (private) landlords, so the free-sector rental supply is limited. Current rental prices and the average time to let can be found at the top of this page, where the supply is updated daily.

The average WOZ value of homes in Bosserhof is around €259,000. That is lower than the average in the district Tegelen-Centrum (€275,000) and also below the municipal average of Venlo (€285,000). This suggests that Bosserhof is a relatively affordable neighbourhood within the municipality, which usually also affects the rental prices of free-sector homes. Social housing falls outside this comparison and is generally significantly cheaper. For those considering renting an apartment in Bosserhof in the free sector, it is wise to respond quickly to available rental properties, as supply is scarce.
