Of the 703 homes in Geestcomplex, 45% are rental properties, the vast majority of which (38% of the total stock) are owned by a housing association. Only 7% are owned by other landlords, meaning that the free-sector rental supply here is limited.

Due to the small number of transactions, the range is narrow: both rented homes were at this level. Surface area data is missing, so a price per m² cannot be calculated. For current daily prices and available rental homes in Geestcomplex, please consult the overview at the top of this page.
The average WOZ value in Geestcomplex is €358,000. This is noticeably lower than the district average of Naaldwijk (€445,000) and the municipal average of Westland (€424,000). The average income (€31,200) is also below the district and municipal averages. Geestcomplex is therefore one of the more affordable neighbourhoods within Naaldwijk, which is partly explained by the high proportion of housing association homes. Those looking for a social rental home are relatively well off here in terms of supply, but must take waiting lists into account. For free-sector tenants, supply is scarce.
