Renting in Huissen: a tight private sector with spacious homes
Huissen is predominantly an owner-occupied municipality: 73% of the housing stock consists of owner-occupied homes, only 27% are rental properties. Of that rental share, the largest part is owned by housing associations (18%), while private landlords account for a limited portion (9%). This makes the supply of rental properties in Huissen in the private sector scarce. Over the past twelve months, 30 private sector homes were rented out, with an average rent of €1,587 per month and an average floor area of 139 m². The range varies from €541 to €2,250 per month, indicating that both compact and sizeable family homes come onto the market. The WOZ value in Huissen is €362,000, slightly below the municipal average of Lingewaard (€372,000). For the most current rental prices and availability, see the overview at the top of this page.

Huissen: family village with water, greenery and Arnhem around the corner
Huissen has the character of an independent town that has grown slowly, with a recognisable centre, new-build neighbourhoods such as Loovelden and Zilverkamp on the outskirts, and water and nature as a constant backdrop. Residents give Huissen a 7.3 on Buurtje.nl, based on eight reviews. Safety scores highest with an 8.2, followed by housing (8.0). Accessibility (6.6) and education (6.2) are the weakest points. On the neighbourhood page of Huissen you can read all the reviews and see the full neighbourhood data.
What residents consistently mention is the combination of tranquillity and accessibility. Odette Westmijze has lived in Huissen for 28 years and wrote: "We came with the idea: we won't stay long. But now it's hard to find a better place." She cites the centre, Park Lingezegen and the cycling distance to both Arnhem and Nijmegen as major plus points. That feeling is widely shared. Another resident describes Loovelden as a neighbourhood with "a quiet atmosphere, gardens well-oriented to the sun and many families with young children". Loovelden was once a typical new-build neighbourhood with a lot of brick, but through cooperation between the municipality of Lingewaard and the water authority, more nature and greenery have been added to the neighbourhood, something residents clearly appreciate. Those looking for more greenery can also look at the supply in the rural area of Huissen or in the neighbourhood De Laak-Binnenveld.
There are also critical voices. The lack of a train station is a drawback for several residents. Those who depend on public transport notice that Huissen lags behind larger towns in the region on this point. Dog mess on the street and the state of maintenance of the water are also mentioned as annoyances. If you are looking for a rental home near the centre of the village, you can take a look in the Centre or in the neighbourhood 't Kempke-Bloemstraat.

Renting in Huissen: suitable for families, less so for starters without a budget
Given the demographic composition (the largest group is 45-65 years old, 42% are married and there are many families with children) and the average rent of €1,587 per month in the private sector, renting in Huissen is most realistic for dual-income earners or families with a middle income or higher. Starters or single people with a lower budget will find little affordable supply in the private sector here. Social housing is scarce and waiting times are long. If you are considering renting an apartment in Huissen with a limited budget, it is wise to also look at rental properties in Lingewaard more broadly, or at nearby towns such as Bemmel or Gendt. If you are unsure between renting and buying, you will find a good alternative on the buying page.

Which neighbourhoods in Huissen are popular for renting an apartment or finding a family home?
Loovelden is a well-known new-build neighbourhood that is popular among families, partly due to the spacious homes and growing green spaces. The centre of Huissen offers a more urban atmosphere with shops and restaurants within walking distance. Newer expansions such as the Zilverkamp phases also attract young families. The supply of rental homes per neighbourhood varies greatly, so it pays to compare multiple neighbourhoods.
We came to live in Huissen with the idea: we won't stay here long. But now: 28 years later, it's hard to find a better place and house. So Huissen is not so bad after all. Nice centre, park Lingezegen. And Arnhem within cycling distance. And Nijmegen also nearby. So Huissen is GREAT
Auto-translated to English by AIWhen we first lived in Loovelden, it was a real new-build neighbourhood. Good houses but lots of stone, stone, stone. Because the municipality of Lingewaard, the water board and Arnhem want to turn it into a kind of nature area, there are now places with much more nature. Really well done.
Auto-translated to English by AIGreat house. Water at the doorstep. Plenty of variety in the surroundings. I only miss a train. And many dog owners let their dogs poop everywhere and don't clean it up. Dog poop is really a problem. And the water needs to be cleaned or dredged more often by Rijkswaterstaat.
Auto-translated to English by AIA nice neighbourhood, lots of families with young children. Gardens all well oriented towards the sun. Sometimes a bit harder to reach, but not too difficult.
Auto-translated to English by AINice people, plenty of amenities, nature and quiet neighbourhood. Lots of playgrounds and shops.
Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet neighbourhood. Cycling distance from the centre. And cycling distance from Arnhem. I only miss forest.
Auto-translated to English by AIA quiet neighbourhood where few changes are expected. Decent houses. Gardens often have too much paving. Water nearby (not much maintenance done on it). Safety: you can still leave your bike outside and hang clothes on the line here. The community is almost all "import". Houses are not old, so reasonably good.
Auto-translated to English by AIWe live in a nice house. With a wadi in front of us. Beautiful, really. Only the maintenance by the water board and municipality is not so good. It's now completely overgrown and the water is full of sludge. Otherwise, nice neighbours and conveniently close to Arnhem.
