Rental homes in Halderbrink, Ede

Rental prices and market figures for Halderbrink, Ede

Halderbrink is predominantly an owner-occupied neighbourhood: about 70% of the housing stock is owned, while 30% is rented out. Of those rental properties, approximately 18% are owned by housing associations (social housing) and 12% belong to the private sector or other landlords. This makes the supply of rental properties in Halderbrink relatively limited, especially in the private sector.

In the private sector (excluding social housing), four properties were rented out in the past twelve months, with an average rent of €1,388 per month. The range was from €1,150 to €1,625 per month. Note: these are private sector rents; social housing through a housing association is usually significantly lower. Unfortunately, reliable surface area data for these rented properties is lacking, so a price per m² cannot be calculated.

For comparison: the average WOZ value of a home in Halderbrink is €403,000. That is lower than the district average of Bennekom (€451,000), but higher than the municipal average of Ede (€387,000). In terms of property values, Halderbrink is therefore in the middle range of the district. For current rental prices and available rental properties, see the overview at the top of this page.

Living in Halderbrink, Ede

Halderbrink is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood on the western side of Bennekom, a village that falls under the municipality of Ede. The neighbourhood has a predominantly post-war character with mainly ground-level homes: terraced houses, semi-detached houses and detached houses from the 1960s and 1970s, supplemented by some later extensions. There are hardly any apartments, which gives the neighbourhood a typical village residential character. Anyone considering renting an apartment in Halderbrink will find that the supply is very limited.

The population composition reflects that character: the largest group of residents is between 45 and 65 years old (over 1,195 people), followed by those aged 65 and over (1,075). The proportion of young families and starters is relatively small. Almost half of the households are married, and most households are without children. That says something about the atmosphere: Halderbrink is not a bustling youth neighbourhood, but a stable, mature residential area where it is quiet and people know each other.

Parking is not a problem in Halderbrink: the neighbourhood has plenty of parking spaces on the street and on private property, without a permit requirement. Accessibility scores a 6 out of 10 from residents, which is slightly lower than the other scores. This is probably due to the limited bus connections outside peak hours.

Atmosphere and resident scores

Is renting in Halderbrink right for you?

Halderbrink mainly attracts people who appreciate peace, green spaces and community spirit. These are often families with school-age children, middle-aged people who consciously choose a village environment, and seniors who have lived in the neighbourhood for years. Starters and students will find less connection here: the rental property supply is limited, the average private sector rent is €1,388 per month, and cheap rooms or studios are hardly available. For social housing, you register with a housing association, but be prepared for waiting lists. If you are looking for a rental home in Halderbrink, it is wise to respond quickly to new listings, because with only four private sector rentals in a year, the market is very tight. Make sure you have your income statement, employer's statement and identity document ready. As an alternative, the owner-occupied homes in Halderbrink are worth considering, especially given the relatively favourable WOZ values compared to the rest of the district.
