Living in Etten, Oude IJsselstreek
Etten is a small, rural village in the municipality of Oude IJsselstreek in the Achterhoek, located along the Oude IJssel river. The village has approximately 1,360 inhabitants and exudes a distinctly quiet, green atmosphere. The housing stock consists mainly of detached homes and semi-detached houses from the 1960s to 1980s, supplemented by a few older farmhouses and a modest core with ribbon development. New-build apartments are hardly found here; anyone looking to rent an apartment in Etten must reckon with a very limited supply. The neighbourhood attracts mainly families and older residents: the largest age group is 45 to 65 years (450 people), followed by those aged 65 and over (315 people). Nearly half of the households are married, and most households are without children at home. This colours the character of the neighbourhood: quiet, established, with little youthful dynamism.
Facilities in Etten
Etten has a modest level of facilities, which is appropriate for a village of this size. There are no large supermarkets in the village itself; for daily groceries, residents rely on nearby Ulft or Gendringen, a few kilometres away. Ulft has a small shopping street with basic amenities. For more extensive shopping and dining, residents head to Doetinchem, about 15 kilometres away. Children of primary school age can attend schools in Ulft or Gendringen in the area; secondary education is accessible in Doetinchem or Terborg. In terms of sports, the area offers opportunities for walking and cycling along the Oude IJssel, one of the village's most attractive features. Local sports clubs are active in the region, although facilities are often concentrated in larger centres. Healthcare facilities such as GPs and pharmacies can be found in Ulft or Gendringen.
Accessibility of Etten
Etten is relatively remote for those dependent on public transport. There are bus connections towards Doetinchem and Gendringen, but the frequency is limited; a car is practically indispensable. By car, the connection to the N18 and N335 is reasonably quick to reach, making Doetinchem accessible in about 15 minutes and the A18 towards Varsseveld and Doetinchem within a short distance. The nearest train station is Doetinchem, about 15 kilometres away. Cycling is very feasible in the flat Achterhoek landscape; Ulft can be reached by bike in a few minutes.

On the neighbourhood page of Etten you will find resident reviews and extensive neighbourhood data. Residents appreciate the peace, space and green surroundings along the Oude IJssel. One resident writes: "It's wonderfully quiet here, you really live in the greenery. But for everything you need to take the car." The latter is an honest point: those without a car find that the limited public transport connections pose a daily challenge. Compared to neighbouring communities such as Ulft-Centrum and Ulft-Oost, where more facilities are within walking distance, Etten is quieter and greener but also less self-sufficient. Ulft-West offers a bit more urban proximity for those seeking it.
Is a rental home in Etten right for you?
Etten is most suitable for tenants who consciously choose peace, space and a village living environment, and are willing to drive a car for it. Families with school-age children can live here comfortably, provided they know their way to facilities in the region. Starters looking for an affordable rental home with good public transport connections are unlikely to find what they are looking for here: the supply is small and accessibility without a car is limited. For social rent: register in time with a housing association active in the region, as waiting lists in the Achterhoek can be long. The private sector has few available rental homes in Etten, so respond quickly if something becomes available. If in doubt, you can also check homes for sale in Etten; due to the high proportion of owner-occupied homes (77%), that supply is generally larger. More rental options in the area can be found at rental homes in Ulft-Etten or more broadly in the municipality via the overview of rental homes in Oude IJsselstreek.
