Rental homes in Kloosterveen, Assen

Is there actually any private-sector rental supply in Kloosterveen?

Let's cut straight to the chase: anyone looking to rent a home in Kloosterveen needs patience and a quick trigger finger. The figures speak for themselves. Of the more than 4,000 homes in this neighbourhood, a whopping 79% are owner-occupied. The rental segment is already small at 21%, but the largest part of that (14%) is owned by housing associations and falls under social housing.

However, you do get something for that: the average size of these rental homes was a generous 139m². This fits the profile of the neighbourhood; the average WOZ value here is €380,000, significantly higher than the average in the municipality of Assen (€278,000).
