Renting in De Lier: a tight private sector with hefty prices
De Lier has traditionally been an owner-occupied neighbourhood. Of the 5,256 homes in the village, 72% are lived in by owners, and only 28% are rental properties. The majority of these are owned by a housing association (21%), while private landlords serve only a small part of the market (7%). This makes the supply of rental properties in De Lier in the private sector limited. Based on the past twelve months, 8 private sector homes were rented out, with an average rent of €2,004 per month and a range of €830 to €2,450 per month. The average floor area was 105 m². These are annual averages excluding social housing and rooms. For current rents and availability, you can consult the overview at the top of this page. The WOZ value in De Lier is €425,000, almost equal to the municipal average of €424,000 for Westland. This says something about the price level of the property, and partly explains why private sector rent here is not cheap.
Greenhouse land with a village heart: what it feels like to live in De Lier
De Lier is not an anonymous commuter neighbourhood but a real village, in the middle of the Westland greenhouse landscape. It has its own centre with daily amenities, a recognisable community and a scale where people still know each other. Residents give the neighbourhood an average score of 8.3 out of 10 on the neighbourhood page of De Lier, based on resident experiences. Safety and green spaces score the highest (both 9.0), and amenities are also rated remarkably well (9.0).
Kane van Houwelingen describes the village as "nice and easy": everything is available and the motorway is quickly accessible. This matches the accessibility score of 8.5. The location near the A20 makes De Lier attractive for people who work in the region but don't want urban hustle and bustle. Yet there are also caveats. Another resident gives the village a 7.1 and specifically mentions: a lot of dog poo on the streets, poor public transport and the lack of a secondary school or MBO school. The latter is a real issue for families with teenagers. The education score of 6.5 is therefore the lowest sub-score in the resident assessment.
Anyone looking for a rental home in a specific part of the village can find it in various neighbourhoods. The centre area of De Lier offers the most walking distance to shops and amenities.

For those who want to live outside the built-up area, there are also options in the rural area around De Lier. The village has a family character: the largest household group consists of families with children (2,100 households) and 42% of residents are married. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years. This translates into a quiet, stable atmosphere, but not much dynamism or nightlife.
Renting in De Lier: suitable for whom, and less suitable for whom?
Renting a home in De Lier best suits people who consciously choose a village environment with good car accessibility, family households that are not dependent on public transport, and tenants looking for a more spacious home (average 105 m² in the private sector). It is less suitable for those who depend on bus or train, for students or young people looking for urban amenities, or for people with a limited rental budget: renting an apartment in De Lier in the private sector quickly costs more than €2,000 per month. Those considering buying can also look at the supply of homes for sale in De Lier, because the owner-occupied market here is significantly larger than the rental market.
