Rental homes in Buurtschap Besthmen, Ommen

Rental prices and market figures for Buurtschap Besthmen, Ommen

Buurtschap Besthmen is a pronounced owner-occupied neighbourhood: only 19% of the 83 homes are rented out, the remaining 81% are owner-occupied. Social housing is virtually non-existent: the housing association stock is 0%, all rental properties are in the hands of private or commercial landlords. Anyone looking for a rental home in Besthmen is therefore operating entirely in the free sector.

In the free sector (excluding social housing), 7 homes were rented out in the past year, with an average rent of €1,231 per month and a range of €1,195 to €1,450 per month. This is clearly higher than what you pay on average for rental properties in Ommen as a whole, which is related to the high WOZ value in Besthmen: an average of €569,000, compared to €359,000 in the Ommen district and €388,000 for the municipality. Besthmen is therefore one of the most expensive residential locations in the municipality. Because the average floor area is not available, the price per m² cannot be calculated.

Living in Buurtschap Besthmen, Ommen

Besthmen is a small hamlet on the edge of Ommen, with only about 190 inhabitants. It is not a neighbourhood in the urban sense of the word, but rather a handful of scattered homes and farms in a green, rural setting on the Vechtdal soils. The atmosphere is quiet, almost still. You don't live here for the hustle and bustle or the amenities around the corner, but for the space, the nature and the distance from the built-up world.

The housing stock consists mainly of detached houses and farms with large plots, consistent with the high average WOZ value. You won't find new-build apartments or porch flats here. Anyone considering renting an apartment in Buurtschap Besthmen will find that the supply is extremely limited and consists almost exclusively of detached or semi-detached houses.

Facilities in and around Besthmen

Besthmen itself has no supermarket, school or GP. For daily shopping you have to rely on Ommen, a few kilometres away. In the centre of Ommen you will find, among others, an Albert Heijn and a Jumbo, as well as primary schools, a library and various medical facilities. Sports clubs such as football, tennis and swimming are concentrated in the core of Ommen. Nature is abundant in Besthmen itself: walking and cycling paths through the Vechtdal are right on your doorstep, and the Sallandse Heuvelrug National Park is within easy cycling distance.

Accessibility

By car, Ommen centre can be reached in five to ten minutes. Zwolle, the nearest large city, is about 30 kilometres away and can be reached via the N34 and N48 in about 35 minutes. By bike, the centre of Ommen is easily accessible via rural cycle paths, although it is not a distance you want to cover daily with shopping. Public transport is limited: there are bus services from Ommen towards Zwolle and Hardenberg, but there is no bus stop directly in Besthmen. You are almost entirely dependent on your own transport here. Parking is no problem at all: almost all homes have ample parking on their own property.

Residents appreciate Besthmen mainly for its peace and space. On the neighbourhood page of Buurtschap Besthmen you can read what residents themselves write. One resident describes it as: "You really live out here, not on the edge of a village but away from it all. Ideal if you're looking for peace and quiet, but you have to be prepared for the car dependency." That sums up the character of Besthmen well: the peace is real, but the dependence on your own transport is a real point of attention for tenants used to urban amenities.

Compared to neighbourhoods such as Kern Ommen - Centrum or Kern Ommen - Laarakkers, Besthmen is much more rural and quieter, but also more expensive and with fewer rental properties available. The nearby Buurtschap Junne has a similar rural character. If you want to combine more urban convenience with a green living environment, you could also look at Buurtschap Ommeres.

Does renting in Buurtschap Besthmen suit you?

Besthmen mainly attracts residents between 45 and 65 years old (the largest age group), followed by those aged 65 and over. More than half of the households are married, and the education level is high: 53% have a higher professional or university education. Young starters or students looking for an affordable rental home fit less well into this picture: rents in the free sector are above €1,200 per month and supply is scarce. Social housing does not exist here, so registering with a housing association is pointless for Besthmen itself. If you still want to rent socially in the region, you can register with Vechtdal Wonen, the housing association active in the municipality of Ommen. For a broader supply, also check the rental properties in Ommen or the overview of rental properties in the municipality of Ommen.
