Rental homes in Industrie- en verspreide gebieden, Hoogeveen

What does renting cost in the scattered areas around Hoogeveen?

The Industrie- en verspreide gebieden district is a special part of the municipality of Hoogeveen. It is not one contiguous neighbourhood, but a collection of industrial estates and scattered homes between Hoogeveen, Alteveer and Kerkenveld. Of the 259 homes, only 17% are rental, and strikingly, these are entirely private rentals: there is 0% housing association ownership. So you won't find social housing via a housing association here. The average WOZ value of €443,000 is well above the Hoogeveen average of €256,000, indicating that these are more spacious, often detached homes.

In the free sector, 9 homes have been rented out in the past twelve months, at an average rent of €2,433 per month. The range is enormous: from €525 to €6,500 per month. This large difference is due to the diverse property types, from smaller units on business parks to spacious detached homes with plenty of land. The average floor area of 411 m² confirms this picture. Want to know what is available today? Check the current overview at the top of this page for daily prices and the current supply.

Stable and green, but expect distance to everything

Residents of Industrie- en verspreide gebieden rate their neighbourhood a 7.0 on Buurtje.nl. That sounds reasonable, but the sub-scores tell the real story. Safety scores a perfect 10 and the green character is also appreciated with a 9. Resident G.J. sums it up succinctly: "Stable, but boring." The peace and space are a big plus, but the downside is that you need to take the car or bike for almost everything. Accessibility therefore scores a meagre 5, as does education. There are simply no schools, shops or restaurants in the immediate vicinity.

You notice that in daily life. G.J. explains that due to the distances between Hoogeveen and the villages of Alteveer and Kerkenveld, you are dependent on your own transport. "The only way to get to a built-up area is by bike or car. And for amenities and education, you have to go to those built-up areas." Yet the people are reportedly friendly, and the community score of 7 confirms that despite the scattered location, there is a certain sense of connection.
