Rental homes in Harskamp, Ede

Renting in Harskamp: a small market with significant price differences

Harskamp is predominantly an owner-occupied neighbourhood. Of the more than 1,230 homes, only 26% are in the rental sector, with the largest share (17%) owned by private landlords and only 9% by housing associations. So if you are looking for a social rental home, your options here are limited. The free sector is equally tight: in the past twelve months, only 7 rental homes were let through the free sector, with an average rent of €1,559 per month and an average floor area of 78 m². The range runs from €575 to €2,000 per month, indicating that the supply varies widely. By comparison, the average WOZ value in Harskamp is €470,000, clearly higher than the municipal average of €387,000 for Ede. That says something about the quality of the housing stock here, but also about the pressure on the owner-occupied market.

Green, quiet and social: how residents experience Harskamp

Harskamp scores a 7.2 on Buurtje.nl, based on resident experiences. That score feels fair when you look at the sub-scores. The neighbourhood stands out on two points: green space (9.0) and beauty (9.0). That is no coincidence. Harskamp lies in the middle of the Veluwe, surrounded by forests and heathlands. Anyone who walks or cycles outside understands those scores immediately. Resident Jammillia describes it as follows: "A safe, social neighbourhood, quiet with nice and sociable people." She gives it a 7.8. That feeling of safety and community is something you encounter less often in larger cities.

Accessibility (5.5) and education (5.5) score less strongly. Harskamp has no train station and public transport is limited. If you commute daily to Ede, Arnhem or Apeldoorn, you are almost entirely dependent on the car. That is a fair disadvantage that you must weigh as a tenant. Amenities score a surprising 8.0 for a village of this size, although these are mainly basic facilities. For a larger range of shops or a hospital, you have to go to the city.

The neighbourhood consists of several sub-areas, each with its own character. The most residential part is Harskamp dorp, where most family homes are located. A bit further lies Harskampse Zand, a quieter area bordering nature. The Legerplaats Harskamp has a very own atmosphere, while Westeneng is more on the edge of the village.

Renting in Harskamp: suitable for families with a car, less so for starters without a driving licence

Harskamp mainly attracts families, which the data confirms: the largest household group consists of households with children (615) and 43% of residents are married. Finding a rental home here requires patience, because the supply is small and the turnover is low. If you want to rent flexibly without being dependent on a car, you probably fit in less well here. Renting in Harskamp is also difficult for starters with a limited budget, given the average free sector rent. Considering a long-term solution?
