Rental prices and market figures for Industrieterrein Oostervaart Midden, Lelystad
Industrieterrein Oostervaart Midden is a unique neighbourhood within the district Buitengebied of Lelystad: it is a business park with only 6 homes in the housing stock and officially 5 residents. This makes the rental market profile of this neighbourhood fundamentally different from a regular residential area. Of those 6 homes, 59% are rented, all from other (private) landlords. There is no housing association property, so social rental homes are not available here. The remaining 27% are owner-occupied homes.
In the free sector (excluding social rent), one home was rented out in Industrieterrein Oostervaart Midden last year, for a rent of €1,750 per month. It concerned a property of 750 m², which amounts to a price of approximately €2.33 per m² per month. That is a relatively low amount per square metre, but this concerns a large business or residential property on an industrial estate, which strongly determines the profile. WOZ values and income data are not available for this neighbourhood, but for comparison: in the wider district of Buitengebied, the average WOZ value is €492,000 and the average income is €44,400. The municipality of Lelystad scores €326,000 and €34,700 respectively. For the current supply and the most recent average rent, see the overview at the top of this page.
Living in Industrieterrein Oostervaart Midden, Lelystad
Renting in Industrieterrein Oostervaart Midden is for people who consciously choose a very different living environment than an average residential area. The name says it all: this is primarily a business park, located in the rural area of Lelystad on the edge of the Oostvaardersplassen. The scarce residential function here consists of properties that have traditionally been linked to business activities, such as company homes at agricultural or logistics companies, or former business premises that have been given a residential designation. Those who live here choose space, peace and distance from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Atmosphere and character
The surroundings are open and green, with views of the polder strips and the nearby nature of the Oostvaardersplassen. There is hardly any neighbourhood community in the traditional sense: with five official residents, this is not a place where you meet neighbours on the street or see children playing. The silence and space are the biggest assets. At the same time, this also means you live far from amenities and are heavily dependent on your own transport.
Amenities
Supermarkets, schools and shops are not present in Industrieterrein Oostervaart Midden itself. For daily groceries, you rely on the nearest shopping centres in Lelystad, such as the centre of Lelystad or the district centres in, for example, Zuiderzeewijk or Boswijk. Primary and secondary schools are within cycling or driving distance in the residential areas of Lelystad. Sports clubs and recreational facilities are not available in the immediate vicinity, but the proximity of the Oostvaardersplassen offers excellent opportunities for walking, cycling and experiencing nature. For many residents of such rural locations, this is precisely a conscious choice.
Accessibility
Industrieterrein Oostervaart Midden is almost exclusively accessible by car. From the neighbourhood, via the Oostervaartdijk and the surrounding polder roads, you have relatively quick access to the N302 and the A6, the motorway that connects Lelystad with Amsterdam (approximately 60 km) and Almere. Public transport is minimal in this area: no bus routes run through the industrial estate itself. Cycling connections to the city centre of Lelystad are available via the polder paths, but the distance is considerable, especially for daily commuting. Parking is on private property, which is usually no problem for the large properties here. Anyone considering renting a home here must take into account a heavy dependence on the car for almost all daily activities.
On the neighbourhood page of Industrieterrein Oostervaart Midden you will find resident reviews and more neighbourhood data. Residents appreciate the extreme peace and space you get for your money. One resident describes it as: "Here you really live outside, no traffic, no noise, only nature around you. Not for everyone, but perfect for us." Criticism mainly focuses on the distance to amenities and the lack of public transport.
For comparison: in the neighbourhood Visvijverbos and near Karperweg IJsselmeerdijk, the living environment is also rural in character, but there are slightly more residential areas nearby. Beginweg Bronsweg Jupiterweg also has a similar rural character. However, Industrieterrein Oostervaart Midden is the most pronounced in terms of business context and limited housing supply.
Is renting in Industrieterrein Oostervaart Midden right for you?
This is not a neighbourhood for starters looking for an affordable apartment to rent in Industrieterrein Oostervaart Midden, or for families who want schools and playgrounds within walking distance.

If you want a rental home in a more urban environment in Lelystad, districts such as Atolwijk or Waterwijk-Landerijen offer more choice. If buying is an option, also check the homes for sale in Industrieterrein Oostervaart Midden. Respond quickly if something becomes available for rent: the supply is scarce and specific.
