Rental homes in Kamerik, Woerden

Renting in Kamerik: a small private sector with hefty prices

Of the more than 1,550 homes in Kamerik, 32% are rented, the majority of which are owned by housing associations (24%). Only 8% are owned by other landlords, meaning the private rental supply here is limited. Anyone looking for a rental home outside the social housing sector therefore has little choice. Over the past twelve months, an average of 15 homes per year were rented in the private sector, with an average rent of €2,872 per month and a range of €2,150 to €4,250 per month. The average floor area was 119 m². These are annual averages for the private sector, excluding social housing. The WOZ value in Kamerik is €442,000, slightly higher than the municipal average of Woerden at €405,000, which partly explains the relatively high rents. For the current supply and average rent at this moment, you can check the overview at the top of this page.

Kamerik: village tranquillity, a strong community and little fuss

Kamerik is a small polder village in the municipality of Woerden with a distinct character. Residents on the district page of Kamerik give the neighbourhood an average of 7.7 out of 10. What stands out in the scores: safety scores remarkably high at 9.0, and community (8.0) and beauty (8.3) also score well. Resident Jochem describes it aptly: "Very quiet but still cosy neighbourhood. Enough cleaning is done, everyone considers each other." That picture matches the demographic composition: the largest group of residents is between 45 and 65 years old, 44% are married, and families with children are the most common household type. This is not a neighbourhood where you will find much nightlife or urban hustle and bustle.

The downside is honest: amenities score 7.0 and education 6.7. Jochem says it himself: "Few amenities, but it is only a small village." For daily shopping, schools or public transport, you quickly have to rely on the surrounding area. Accessibility scores 7.7, but that is by car; without a driving licence, Kamerik is less practical. Anyone looking for a rental home in a quiet, green environment outside the city, but willing to compromise on amenities, will be able to find their place here.

Kamerik consists of several sub-areas. The most rural living can be found in Buitengebied Kamerik, while the village centre is concentrated around Kamerik (village). Those who want to live more compactly can also look at Kanis. The labour participation rate in Kamerik is 72% and the average income is €40,000, comparable to the municipal average. This indicates that it is predominantly working families, not necessarily higher income groups, despite the relatively high property values.

Who is renting in Kamerik worth it for, and who is it not for?

Renting in Kamerik is mainly interesting for families or couples seeking peace and space and who use the car as their primary means of transport. The private sector is limited and pricey, so anyone considering renting an apartment in Kamerik with a smaller budget will quickly end up in social housing, with associated waiting times. For starters or singles who depend on amenities within walking distance or public transport, this village is less suitable. Anyone unsure whether renting is the right choice can also check the supply of homes for sale in Kamerik, because with 68% owner-occupied homes, that is the dominant form of housing here.
