Renting in Haaksbergen (village): limited private sector supply, average €1,362 per month

Of the more than 7,800 homes in Haaksbergen (village), 31% are rental properties.

The private sector is therefore small. Over the past twelve months, 10 private sector rental homes were let, with an average rent of €1,362 per month and a range of €776 to €1,640 per month. The average floor area of those homes was 128 m². For current rents and the latest supply, you can check the overview at the top of this page.

The WOZ value in the village is €331,000, slightly lower than the municipal average of €357,000 for the municipality of Haaksbergen. This reflects the character of the village: predominantly owner-occupied homes in a quiet, village setting. Anyone looking for a rental home in the private sector should expect limited supply. Social housing through the association is an option, but this usually involves waiting lists. Also check the supply of homes for sale in Haaksbergen (village) as an alternative.

The combination of a safe environment, good education and a close-knit community makes it attractive for families and older people. For starters or people with a low income, the supply in the private sector is limited and the average rent of €1,362 per month is not cheap.
