Renting in Goor: limited private sector supply, affordable mid-range prices
Of the more than 4,000 homes in Goor, 42% are rental properties. That sounds like a lot, but a significant portion of these are social housing via a housing association: around 28% of the total housing stock is owned by housing associations. The private sector is therefore relatively small. In the past twelve months, 24 private sector homes were rented out in Goor, with an average rent of €1,071 per month and a range of €950 to €1,310 per month. The average floor area was 92 m². These are annual averages for the private sector, excluding social housing. The current supply and daily average rent can be found in the overview at the top of this page.
For comparison: the average WOZ value in Goor is €270,000, while the average within the municipality of Hof van Twente is €345,000. Goor is therefore relatively affordable within the municipality, which is also reflected in the rental prices. The average income per resident is €32,400, slightly below the municipal average of €35,300. Anyone looking for a rental home in the private sector should expect limited supply and a relatively quick turnaround time.
Goor as a place to live: compact, familiar, and close to daily life
Goor is not a big city and does not behave like one. It is a compact Twente town with around 8,400 residents, with the largest group aged between 45 and 65. This is reflected in the atmosphere: quiet, down-to-earth, little hustle and bustle. The centre is compact and walkable, schools are nearby, and you can do your daily shopping without a car. Resident Nathalie puts it aptly: "Everything is within walking distance. This is our spot." She gives the neighbourhood an 8.5 and also notes that weed control could be better, although it doesn't really bother her.
On the neighbourhood page for Goor, residents give the neighbourhood an average of 8.5 out of 10. Accessibility, community, housing, beauty, and education all score a 9. Amenities come in slightly lower at 7, which is realistic for a small town: for extensive shopping or nightlife, you need to go to Almelo or Hengelo. But if you're looking for the peace and familiarity of a Twente town, you're in the right place here.
Goor consists of several neighbourhoods, each with its own character. If you like greenery, you can look in De Meene or the quiet Waterhoek. If you prefer to live centrally, you can check the supply in the centre of Goor. The Dokter Schaepmanbuurt and Gijmink are more residential areas with a quiet streetscape. The population composition, with relatively many over-65s (over 2,200) and a large group of 45-65-year-olds, gives Goor a stable and established character. This has advantages for those seeking peace, but also means that nightlife and youth culture are limited.
