Rental prices and market figures for Elskamp, Ede
Of the approximately 1,340 homes in Elskamp, 38% are in the rental sector, amounting to around 510 rental properties. The majority of these are owned by a housing association: 36% of the total housing stock is association-owned, while only 1% is owned by other (private) landlords. This means the free market sector in Elskamp is very small. For those looking for a rental home outside social housing, the supply here is therefore limited.

The average WOZ value in Elskamp is €295,000. This is lower than the average for the district Maandereng (€308,000) and significantly lower than the municipal average for Ede (€387,000). This reflects the character of the neighbourhood: predominantly post-war housing with a mix of social housing and owner-occupied homes in the mid-range segment. The average annual income of €31,800 is also slightly below the district average (€33,000) and clearly below the municipal average (€37,000).
