Rental homes in Heeten Kern, Raalte

Rental prices and market figures Heeten Kern, Raalte

Heeten Kern is a owner-occupied dominated neighbourhood: 69% of the housing stock is owned by residents, while 31% is rented out. Of those rental properties, 18% are owned by a housing association (social rent) and 13% by other landlords (private sector and private individuals). This means that the supply of rental properties in Heeten Kern is limited, especially in the private sector.

In the private sector (excluding social rent), one property was rented out last year, with a rent of €1,500 per month. This gives an indication, but due to the small number of transactions, it says little about the broader market. The average WOZ value in Heeten Kern is €315,000, which is lower than the district average of Heeten (€363,000) and the municipal average of Raalte (€369,000). This indicates relatively more affordable homes than elsewhere in the municipality, although this does not automatically translate into lower rents in the private sector.

Living in Heeten Kern, Raalte

Heeten Kern is the compact heart of the village of Heeten, located in the municipality of Raalte in the Salland region. It is a quiet, green village with a clear village character: no urban hustle and bustle, but also no sprawling countryside. The buildings mainly consist of detached houses and semi-detached houses, with a mix of older buildings from the 1950s and 1960s and later extensions. Apartments are scarce, making renting an apartment in Heeten Kern difficult.

The neighbourhood has a relatively older population: the largest age group is 45 to 65 years, followed by those aged 65 and over. This colours the character of the neighbourhood: it is quiet, social cohesion is high, and there is little nuisance. Families are also present, but starters and young tenants find less specifically targeted supply here.

For a small village, Heeten Kern has a reasonable basic infrastructure. There is a primary school in the village itself, so families with young children do not have to travel far. For secondary education, children are dependent on Raalte or Deventer. There is no supermarket within walking distance in the village centre itself; residents usually drive to Raalte or Deventer for daily groceries. However, there are local facilities such as a community centre and sports clubs, including a football club. The area offers many opportunities for walking and cycling in the Salland landscape, which is an important plus for people who appreciate nature and tranquillity.

Is a rental property in Heeten Kern right for you?

Heeten Kern is most suitable for tenants who consciously choose peace, space and a village living environment, and who have their own transport. Families with children find a safe environment with a primary school nearby. Seniors who want to live quietly in a close-knit community also fit well in this village. Starters or people who depend on public transport will find that the choice for a rental home in Heeten Kern comes with limitations, both in terms of supply and mobility. The private sector supply is very limited; also register with a housing association for social rent if you qualify. As an alternative, you can also look at the supply of owner-occupied homes in Heeten Kern, because the owner-occupied market is much larger here than the rental market. For more choice in the region, Luttenberg and Nieuw Heeten are also worth a look.
