What does a rental property cost in Epe? Free sector from €535
The housing market in Epe is firmly anchored in owner-occupied homes: 64% of the more than 7,300 homes are owned, while 36% are rented out. Of those rental properties, the majority (27% of the total) are owned by housing associations, meaning the free sector is relatively small. In the past twelve months, only 22 rental properties in the free sector were let, with an average rent of €976 per month. The range runs from €535 to €2,500 per month, with an average floor area of 70 m². That is not cheap for a village on the Veluwe, but the WOZ value of €450,000 (slightly above the municipal average of €439,000) partly explains those prices.
Anyone looking for a rental home in the free sector must therefore act quickly when new properties come on the market. The current daily prices and available properties can be found in the overview at the top of this page. Keep in mind that supply is limited and popular homes are quickly snapped up. Would you rather consider buying? Then also check out the range of homes for sale in Epe, because with 64% owner-occupied homes, there are usually more options in that segment.
Living in Epe: high safety score, but does it lack a sense of community?
Epe scores a 7.6 from residents on Buurtje.nl, and the sub-scores tell an interesting story. Safety gets a striking 9.5 out of 10, as does the beauty of the surroundings. That is not surprising when you cycle through the village: the streets are tidy, the Veluwe forests literally begin at the edge of the village, and the countryside is never far away. Resident Pauline gave Epe an 8.1, and although she did not leave a detailed comment, the figures speak for themselves. More experiences and detailed neighbourhood data can be found on the neighbourhood page for Epe.
What stands out is the low score for community: a 4.5 out of 10. That is an honest point of attention. Epe has an ageing population (the largest age group is 65+, with 4,545 residents) and the social fabric is different from that of a student city or a young Vinex district. Amenities score a solid 8.5: in the centre you will find supermarkets, shops along the Hoofdstraat, a library and hospitality venues. The weekly market on Thursday is a fixed ritual for many residents. Accessibility (8.0) is reasonable: there are buses towards Apeldoorn and Zwolle, but a car is essential for many residents.
The residential neighbourhoods each have their own character. Hogeland and Burgerenk are typical post-war residential areas with terraced houses and a lot of housing association stock, while in Klaarbeek and the rural areas you will find more detached homes and space. Renting in Epe mainly means: peace, space and greenery, but not necessarily a vibrant social life. The average income of €35,900 is slightly above the municipal average, and the labour participation rate of 64% reflects the older population composition. Those looking for a flat to rent in Epe will find most of the supply around the centre and in the post-war neighbourhoods.
Renting in Epe: suitable for those seeking peace, less so for young starters
Renting a home in Epe best suits people who consciously choose a quiet, green living environment. Think of older couples, people who work from home and do not need a daily train connection, or families who prefer the Veluwe nature over urban amenities. For young starters, Epe is less obvious: the limited free-sector supply (22 rentals in a year), the mediocre community score and the lack of a train station make it difficult. Those looking for more urban dynamism would be better off looking at the supply in Vaassen or towards Apeldoorn. If you are looking for even more rurality, then Oene is an alternative to explore.
