What does a rental property in Goes cost in the private sector?
Goes has a balanced housing market: 45% of the more than 14,600 homes are rental properties, and of those, 32% are owned by housing associations. The private sector is therefore relatively limited. In the past twelve months, 63 homes have been rented out in the private sector, at an average rent of €1,556 per month. The range runs from €827 to €2,750, with an average floor area of 102 square metres. This makes renting in Goes comparable to other Zeeland towns, but cheaper than the Randstad. The average WOZ value is €292,000, slightly below the municipal average of €303,000. This is also reflected in the rents: for an apartment in Goes you typically pay less than for a single-family home. At the top of this page you will always find the current daily price and the available supply.
The average disposable income in Goes is €34,800 per year, just below the municipal average of €35,700. With a labour participation rate of 64% and a quarter of residents holding higher education degrees, the neighbourhood is economically stable, but not exceptionally wealthy. Those looking for a social rental home should expect waiting times at housing associations such as Beveland Wonen. The private sector offers more immediate opportunities, although the supply of 63 rented homes per year is not overwhelming.
Goes according to the people who live there: an average of 8.7
On the neighbourhood page for Goes, residents rate their area an 8.7 out of 10, based on nine reviews. What immediately stands out: accessibility scores a 9.6 and green spaces a 9.4. These are not abstract numbers. Resident Coen sums it up succinctly: "Village living in the city. Nice, quiet neighbourhood. The most sought-after place in Goes to live." And you often hear that village character mentioned. Rian writes about a neighbourhood with "a deer park within walking distance, forest within walking distance" and a mix of rental and owner-occupied homes, high-rise and low-rise, young and old.
Goes is not a commuter town. The centre, where you can also look at the rental supply in Goes-Centrum, has a complete shopping area around the Grote Markt with supermarkets, specialist shops and hospitality. Annet describes her neighbourhood as "very social" with shops within walking distance and neighbours who help each other with chores. That sense of community scores an 8.7. At the same time, not everything is perfect. Resident WP, who has lived in Nieuw-West for fifteen years, warns of increasing noise pollution from the A256: "More and more freight traffic, tourist route from the Westerschelde." The beauty of the neighbourhood scores the lowest at 7.9, which fits a neighbourhood where, alongside green avenues, there is also some older high-rise.
In terms of accessibility, Goes is a hub in Zeeland. Goes station is centrally located and offers direct trains to Middelburg, Vlissingen and Bergen op Zoom.

Within Goes itself, the neighbourhoods Goes-West and Goes-Zuid offer a mix of family homes and apartments. Want to know more about the municipality of Goes as a whole?

Renting in Goes: for starters, families or not?
With the largest age group between 45 and 65 years old and over 6,000 single-person households, Goes is popular with both singles and older residents. For families with children, the schools (score 8.5) and green spaces are strong assets, although you should expect a rent in the private sector averaging over €1,500. Starters with a tighter budget are dependent on the social sector or on smaller apartments at the lower end of the market. Those who prefer to buy can view the supply of homes for sale in Goes. For students or young people under 25 (only 3,150 residents in that group), Goes is less obvious: there is no university of applied sciences or university, and the nightlife is limited.

We've been living here for 15 years with pleasure. Green and quiet. Lots of nature. Good social control, not always in each other's homes, but always helpful. One point of attention: the A256 motorway is causing increasing noise pollution. More and more (freight) traffic, (tourist) route from the Westerscheldetunnel, increasingly heavier cars (battery packs) and outdated joints in the viaduct.
Auto-translated to English by AIThere are high-rise buildings, rental and owner-occupied homes, lots of greenery, a deer park, schools. Residents are mixed in terms of age and nationality. Generally a clean, quiet neighbourhood. In some places less so. People are friendly, tidy and interested in each other. A good neighbourhood to live in.
Auto-translated to English by AIthe neighbourhood is fairly quiet, Hertekamp within walking distance, forest within walking distance, schools nearby, rental and owner-occupied homes, apartments and low-rise buildings. playground etc, lots of variety in people in terms of old and young,
Auto-translated to English by AIVery nice neighbourhood with very nice people, lots of green, parks and playgrounds, plenty of parking, many children in the neighbourhood. There are also shops within walking distance, which is nice. And we as neighbours help each other with all sorts of chores, which is nice when you can help someone. So I think my living environment is great. In my street you are allowed to drive, but only to load and unload, so it is safer for the children and the neighbourhood. The street is also kept clean by the residents; we also trim hedges that are too high and overhang onto the street. So it's nice to live here. The houses are well insulated, just great. Schools are good and safely accessible.
