Rental prices and market figures Hanzepark, Lelystad
In Hanzepark, about half of the housing stock consists of rental properties: 49% rented versus 51% owner-occupied. Of those rental properties, the vast majority are owned by a housing association (45%), while only 4% are with other landlords. The private sector is therefore limited here. In the past twelve months, one property was rented in the private sector, with a rent of €2,495 per month.

Social housing is generally significantly lower in price and falls outside these figures.
The average WOZ value in Hanzepark is €355,000, which is clearly higher than the municipal average of Lelystad (€326,000) and also above the district average of Bolder (€290,000).

This reflects the relatively high average incomes: residents earn an average of €36,700 per year, compared to €34,700 in the municipality as a whole.
