Kerschoten is a predominantly rental neighbourhood: 64% of the more than 1,940 homes are rented, compared to 36% owner-occupied homes. This high rental percentage is largely due to the significant housing association ownership: 46% of all homes are owned by a housing association, making social housing the dominant form of housing. Another 18% falls under other landlords, including the private sector.

In the private sector (excluding social housing), rental prices in Kerschoten over the past year averaged €1,070 per month, with a range of €999 to €1,220 per month. With an average floor area of 89 m², this amounts to approximately €12 per m² per month. This is noticeably lower than the average in the broader district Noord, where neighbourhoods such as Loolaan-Noord and Paleispark push up the price level. The average WOZ value in Kerschoten is €296,000, which is significantly lower than the district average of €426,000 and also below the municipal average of Apeldoorn of €378,000. This reflects the post-war character of the neighbourhood with relatively compact homes. For the current supply and daily rental prices, you can consult the overview at the top of this page.
