This high rental percentage is largely driven by housing associations, which own 47% of the total housing stock. Only 9% falls under other (private) landlords.

That is relatively low compared to national urban standards, which fits the Limburg housing market.

The average WOZ value in Chevremont is €180,000. That is lower than the average for the district Kerkrade-Noord (€213,000) and also below the municipal average of Kerkrade (€199,000).
