Renting in Buitengebied Borne: spacious homes, but a tight market
Anyone looking for a rental home in Buitengebied Borne faces a market that is predominantly in the hands of buyers. Of the 864 homes in this area, only 20% are rental properties, compared to 80% owner-occupied. Social housing from a housing association accounts for 7% of the total stock, with the remaining 13% falling under private and commercial landlords. This means that the free-sector supply is limited, but the homes that are available are certainly generous in size. In the past twelve months, 15 homes were rented in the free sector (excluding social housing) with an average rent of €1,292 per month and a range of €980 to €1,600. The average floor area was as much as 273 m². By comparison, the average WOZ value in the rural area is €468,000, well above the municipal average of €370,000.

Green, quiet, and clearly for whom it is: living in the rural area of Borne
Buitengebied Borne is not a neighbourhood in the traditional sense. Here you don't live on a street with twenty neighbours a stone's throw away, but on a farmstead, along a country lane, or on the edge of a hamlet. The atmosphere is rural and peaceful, with plenty of greenery, little traffic, and a strong sense of space. Residents on the neighbourhood page of Buitengebied Borne describe living here as 'finally catching your breath'. The peace and nature are consistently mentioned as major plus points. One resident writes that the rural area feels like 'living in the countryside, but with the city a ten-minute drive away'. That's right: the centre of Borne is quickly accessible, and Hengelo and Almelo are also a short drive away.
The rural area consists of several cores and scattered buildings. Think of the quiet Zenderen, the small-scale Hertme, and the scattered buildings in areas such as Verspreide huizen Borne-Oost and Verspreide huizen Zenderen. Each core has its own character, but the common thread is the same: low building density, plenty of greenery, and few amenities within walking distance. Anyone wanting to do daily shopping, visit a GP, or send children to school is almost always dependent on the car. That is a fair disadvantage that residents also mention. Public transport is limited in this area. Anyone without a car or heavily reliant on public transport will find this a serious obstacle.
The population is relatively healthy in terms of income, with an average household income of €38,000 and a labour participation rate of 70%. The largest group of residents is between 45 and 65 years old, and families with children form the largest household group. That characterises the neighbourhood: this is not a place for students or starters seeking urban living, but for people who consciously choose space and peace. More information about the municipality can be found on the website of Borne municipality.
