Renting in Heino: a small private sector with hefty prices
Heino is primarily an owner-occupied neighbourhood. Of the more than 3,000 homes, only 24% are in the rental sector, of which 18% are owned by a housing association. The private sector is therefore limited: in the past year, five private-sector homes were rented out, with an average rent of €1,700 per month. The range ran from €1,500 to €2,500 per month, with an average floor area of 126 m². These are annual averages for the private sector, excluding social housing. If you want to know what is currently available and what the current average rent is, check the overview at the top of this page. The WOZ value in Heino is €378,000, slightly higher than the municipal average of Raalte (€369,000), which partly explains the relatively high rents. Social tenants are dependent on housing association homes; waiting times for these can be requested via the municipality of Raalte. More about living and policy in the region can be found on the website of Raalte municipality.
Heino: the village where it's quiet, sometimes too quiet
Heino is a large village in the municipality of Raalte with a distinct character. The population is predominantly middle-aged to older: the largest group of residents is between 45 and 65 years old, and the group of over-65s now numbers more than 2,000 people. You notice this in the streetscape. It is quiet, the gardens are well-kept, and social cohesion is high. Residents on the neighbourhood page of Heino particularly appreciate the peace, space and green character of the village. A common sentiment: "You really know your neighbours here, that's unthinkable in a city." At the same time, there is also criticism: facilities are limited, and those without a car quickly notice this.
The village centre offers basic amenities such as a supermarket, a pharmacy and a few eateries, but for a larger range of shops or nightlife, Zwolle or Deventer is the destination. Heino has its own train station on the Zwolle-Almelo line, which makes accessibility acceptable for commuters, but the frequency is limited. Residents who travel to the city daily often choose the car. The neighbourhoods within Heino differ: Heino Centrum has the most life and walking distance to amenities, while the Buitengebied of Heino truly means rural living, with all the freedom and all the limitations that entails. Those seeking more urbanity can also look at Raalte itself, or nearby Nieuw Heeten.
Families with children find primary schools and outdoor space in abundance in Heino. Young people and starters often experience the village as too small: there is little nightlife, public transport after 8:00 PM is scarce, and social life largely takes place in clubs. Those who don't fit in there feel it. Neighbourhoods like Heino Zuid and Kiezebos are quiet residential areas with few shops within walking distance, but plenty of green space and room.
Renting in Heino: who is this village really for?
Renting in Heino is most suitable for people who consciously choose peace, space and a close-knit living community, and who are mobile with their own car or bike. Families and people aged 35 to 65 generally feel most at home here. For young starters or people dependent on public transport, the supply of rental homes in Heino is limited and the location less practical. Those considering buying will find a wider range via homes for sale in Heino, as the owner-occupied market clearly dominates here.
