Living in Industriegebied Buitenvaart, Hoogeveen

Industriegebied Buitenvaart is not your typical residential neighbourhood. As the name suggests, this area bears the stamp of business activity. Yet around 265 people live here, spread across homes that are largely in private hands and have a notably high WOZ value. Anyone looking for a rental home here is looking for something specific: space, peace on the edge of the city, and an environment that does not have the character of a classic residential area.

The housing stock consists almost entirely of owner-occupied homes, with an ownership rate of 94%. The residents are predominantly middle-aged to older, with the largest group between 45 and 65 years old. Families with children are the most common household type, and the labour participation rate of 75% is clearly above the municipal average. The average income of €37,700 per year is also above that of the municipality (€31,700). This paints a picture of a neighbourhood where established, working households live, not a place with much turnover or a student character.

Is renting in Industriegebied Buitenvaart right for you?

A rental home in Industriegebied Buitenvaart is for a specific type of tenant: someone who values space and peace, has no objection to a business environment, and is mobile by car or bike. Supply is limited: only a handful of homes are offered for rent in the free sector each year. Social housing is not available here, so registering with a housing association is pointless for this neighbourhood. Respond quickly if you come across a suitable property, as supply is scarce. Prepare your documents (proof of income, employer's statement) so you can act fast. Also consider owner-occupied homes in Industriegebied Buitenvaart as an alternative, as the owner-occupied market is much larger here than the rental market. Families and working couples fit best with the existing resident population of this neighbourhood.
