Only 9% of the housing stock consists of rental properties, while 32% are owner-occupied homes.

Living in De Hees, Raalte
De Hees is a distinctly quiet, rural neighbourhood on the edge of the town of Raalte. Its character is green and open, with a low building density that differs greatly from the more urban neighbourhoods closer to the centre. The neighbourhood has hardly any residents in the CBS registration, indicating that this is a very small, possibly agricultural or outlying area. The housing types are therefore more likely to be detached houses or rural properties rather than apartment blocks or terraced houses.
The low WOZ value relative to the rest of Raalte is striking and may indicate older buildings or a specific function of the area. Those looking for a rental home in a setting with space, peace and greenery, and who are not dependent on amenities within walking distance, may consider De Hees. Those who want daily shopping, schools or public transport close by will find that the neighbourhood is less suitable for that.
