Rental prices and market figures Buitengebied 's-Heerenhoek, Borsele
The rural area around 's-Heerenhoek is predominantly an owner-occupied market: 86% of the 116 homes are privately owned, while only 14% are rented out. There are no social housing units from a housing association; all rental properties in this rural area fall under other (private) landlords.

The average WOZ value is €372,000, which is significantly higher than the district average of 's-Heerenhoek (€273,000) and also above the municipal average of Borsele (€295,000). This reflects the spacious, detached buildings characteristic of this rural area. In the free sector (excluding social housing), one home was rented out last year for €2,500 per month with an area of 293 m². That works out to around €8.50 per m² per month. Rental prices in this rural area are therefore considerably higher than in Kern 's-Heerenhoek and the broader supply in the 's-Heerenhoek district.

Living in Buitengebied 's-Heerenhoek, Borsele
Anyone looking for a rental home in the rural area of 's-Heerenhoek chooses peace, space and an agricultural landscape that is barely interrupted by buildings. This is not a district with apartment blocks or terraced houses, but an open polder landscape in the municipality of Borsele, dotted with farms, detached houses and occasionally a renovated barn. The buildings largely date from the twentieth century, with a mix of traditional Zeeland farms and more recent detached houses on spacious plots. Renting an apartment in Buitengebied 's-Heerenhoek is virtually out of the question; this is about large, independent homes.
Facilities
For daily shopping you rely on the village of 's-Heerenhoek itself, a few minutes' drive away. There you will find a small supermarket and basic facilities. For a wider range of shops, healthcare centres or a secondary school, you drive to Goes, the regional centre about ten kilometres away. Primary education is available in the core of 's-Heerenhoek. Sports clubs, a community centre and local catering establishments are also located in the core. The rural area itself offers no shops or public facilities, but plenty of space for walking and cycling through the Zeeland polders.
Accessibility
Accessibility by car is reasonable: via the N666 and connecting provincial roads you reach Goes in about ten minutes, where the train station is also located. Middelburg is about a twenty-minute drive away. Public transport is limited; bus services run to the core of 's-Heerenhoek, but the frequency is low and from the rural area you are almost always dependent on the car.

Living in Buitengebied 's-Heerenhoek attracts people who consciously choose distance from the hustle and bustle. On the neighbourhood page of Buitengebied 's-Heerenhoek you can read what residents themselves say about life here. One resident aptly describes it: "You really have peace here.
