Renting in Boterdorp: a tight private sector in an owner-occupied neighbourhood
Boterdorp is essentially an owner-occupied neighbourhood. Of the 2,287 homes, 78% are for sale, and only 22% are rental properties. The majority of those rental homes are owned by a housing association (20%), meaning the private sector plays a very small role here. This is also reflected in the prices: over the past twelve months, an average of ten homes per year were rented out in the private sector, with an average rent of €2,247 per month. The range runs from €1,395 to €2,595 per month, with an average floor area of 86 m². These are annual averages for the private sector, excluding social housing. The WOZ value of homes in Boterdorp is €463,000, slightly below the municipal average of €479,000 for Lansingerland. For current rental prices and available properties, you can consult the overview at the top of this page.
The limited supply of rental homes in Boterdorp is no coincidence. The neighbourhood was traditionally built for families who buy a home here and settle long-term. Anyone looking for a rental home in Boterdorp must be patient and act quickly when something becomes available.
Boterdorp: a neighbourhood where you know your neighbours
Boterdorp scores a 7.4 on Buurtje.nl, based on resident reviews. The sub-scores give a clear picture of the neighbourhood. Accessibility (8.0), beauty (8.0) and education (8.0) score well. The community score stands out the most with a 9.0, while green spaces (6.0) and amenities (6.0) lag somewhat behind.
That high community score is no coincidence. Resident Kim describes Boterdorp as a close-knit neighbourhood: "Everyone who lives here knows each other, if not directly then through others. Everyone is ready to help keep it safe, and you can see street barbecues in many streets in the summer." She adds that the streets are largely clean and that the primary school is a stone's throw away. That fits perfectly with the demographic makeup of the neighbourhood: the largest age group is 45 to 65 years, but there are also many families with children (1,170 households). It is a neighbourhood where people put down roots, not a place where you live temporarily.
The lower scores for amenities and green spaces are something to keep in mind. Boterdorp does not have an extensive shopping centre within easy reach and the amount of public green space is limited compared to some other neighbourhoods in the municipality. For more extensive amenities, you will need to rely on other centres within Lansingerland. If you want to know more about what the neighbourhood is like, you can read all scores and experiences on the neighbourhood page of Boterdorp. Boterdorp consists of several sub-neighbourhoods.
