Renting in Heer Oudelands Ambacht: a scarce market with high free-sector prices
Heer Oudelands Ambacht is predominantly an owner-occupied neighbourhood. Of the 2,517 homes, only 21% are in the rental sector, the majority of which (18%) are owned by housing associations. Free-sector rental is therefore limited. In the past twelve months, only 8 free-sector homes were rented out, with an average rent of €2,012 per month and a range of €1,450 to €2,250 per month. This concerns only the free sector, excluding social housing. The average floor area of those homes was 136 m², which explains why the prices are relatively high. By comparison, the average WOZ value in this neighbourhood is €355,000, compared to €303,000 for the municipality of Zwijndrecht as a whole. Heer Oudelands Ambacht thus clearly belongs to the higher segment. For current rental prices and availability, you can consult the overview at the top of this page.
Anyone looking for a rental home in this part of Zwijndrecht must take into account limited supply and a relatively high price level. Social tenants are dependent on the housing association homes, but waiting times for these are generally long. The average income in the neighbourhood is €40,500 per year, clearly above the municipal average of €35,700. This says something about the residents who already live here, but also about the threshold for new tenants.
