Only 23% are rental properties, of which about 10% are owned by a housing association and 13% by other landlords. Anyone looking for a rental home in De Boschkens therefore has a limited supply.

The range ran from €1,134 to €1,980 per month, with an average living area of 131 m².

Renting in De Boschkens therefore means choosing a neighbourhood where the housing market is tight. Supply changes little and prices are clearly above the municipal average.
