Rental homes in Hogeland, Epe

Rental prices and market figures Hogeland, Epe

Hogeland is a neighbourhood where owner-occupied homes dominate: 67% of the 617 homes are owner-occupied, while 33% are rental properties. Of those rental properties, 27% are owned by housing associations (social housing) and only 5% are offered by other landlords in the private sector. This makes the supply of rental homes in Hogeland relatively limited, especially in the private sector.

The average rent in the private sector (excluding social housing) over the past twelve months was €781 per month, with a range of €535 to €1,138 per month. With an average floor area of 60 m², this works out to around €13 per m². This is striking, because the WOZ value in Hogeland, at €571,000, is significantly above the average for the district Epe (€450,000) and the municipality of Epe (€439,000). The rental prices reflect this: anyone looking for a rental home in Hogeland pays more than in many other neighbourhoods in Epe.

Living in Hogeland, Epe

Hogeland is located on the southeast side of the village of Epe, nestled between the Heerderweg, the Tongerenseweg and the forest edges of the Veluwe. It is a green, quiet residential neighbourhood with a strong village character, where you can see deer on the lawns in the morning and hear little more than church bells and birds in the evening. The housing is mixed: you will find post-war single-family homes from the 1960s and 1970s along wide avenues, but also newer detached houses and semi-detached homes on spacious plots towards the countryside. There are fewer apartments, which explains the average floor area of private sector rental homes (60 m²): the limited rental supply partly consists of smaller apartments and upper-floor flats.

Facilities in and around Hogeland

Hogeland itself is primarily a residential neighbourhood without its own shopping strip. For daily groceries, you can cycle to the centre of Epe in five minutes, where you will find Albert Heijn and Jumbo on the Hoofdstraat. Along the Heerderweg towards the centre, there is a GP practice and a pharmacy. Primary school De Burcht is within walking distance on the edge of the neighbourhood, and for secondary education there is the Corlaer College in Epe Centrum. For sports, there are facilities at the De Wachtelenberg sports park (football, tennis) and the nearby De Koekoek swimming pool. The Veluwe literally begins at the edge of the neighbourhood: via the Tongerenseweg you can be on forest cycle paths within minutes.

Accessibility of Hogeland

Hogeland is easily accessible by car via the N794 (Heerderweg) towards Heerde and the A50. The Epe exit on the A50 is about ten minutes away by car, making Apeldoorn reachable in 25 minutes and Zwolle in 30 minutes. Public transport is limited: Epe does not have a train station, but bus line 100 (Zwolle-Apeldoorn) stops in the centre of Epe, about a ten-minute cycle from Hogeland. Parking in the neighbourhood is free and generally not a problem: most homes have their own driveway or garage. By bike, you can reach the village centre in three minutes.

What residents appreciate and what they look out for

The residents of Hogeland are generally positive about the peace and greenery. "Lovely living on the edge of the Veluwe, you can step straight into the forest," writes a resident on the neighbourhood page of Hogeland. At the same time, the limited supply of shops and dining options in the immediate vicinity is mentioned as a downside. Compared to neighbourhoods like Burgerenk or Gildehoek, which are closer to the centre, Hogeland is slightly more remote but also noticeably quieter. For those considering living in Hogeland, it is good to know that the neighbourhood is ageing: the largest age group is 65-plus (520 out of 1,185 residents), which contributes to the calm atmosphere but also means there is little nightlife for young people.

Who is a rental home in Hogeland suitable for?

With its ageing population and quiet character, Hogeland is particularly suitable for seniors, couples without children seeking peace, and people who like to live close to nature. Renting an apartment in Hogeland can be attractive if you are looking for a smaller home with low monthly costs at the lower end of the range (from €535). First-time buyers should note that the supply of houses for rent in Hogeland is limited: only 18 homes were rented out in the private sector last year. So quick response is important. For social housing, you can register with housing association Triada, which manages the majority of social housing in Epe, but expect waiting lists of several years. Would you rather buy?
