Renting in Koedijkslanden: social housing dominates, private sector is scarce
Koedijkslanden is a neighbourhood where renting is the norm: over 53% of the approximately 3,161 homes are rental properties. The vast majority of these, around 43%, are owned by a housing association. The private sector is therefore limited in size. In the past twelve months, only one property was rented in the private sector (excluding social housing and rooms), for a rent of €600 per month. That says something about the scarcity in this segment. For the current state of supply and the average rent at this moment, you can check the overview at the top of this page.
The WOZ value in Koedijkslanden averages €248,000, which is clearly lower than the municipal average of €289,000 for Meppel. The average income (€30,500 compared to €35,100 municipality-wide) is also below the Meppel average. That fits the profile of a neighbourhood with many housing association tenants and a relatively modest owner-occupied market. Anyone considering buying instead of renting can take a look at the supply of homes for sale in Koedijkslanden. More information about living in the municipality can also be found on the website of Meppel municipality.
Koedijkslanden: a neighbourhood where people stay because they want to
Koedijkslanden scores an 8.6 on Buurtje.nl, based on resident experiences. That is not a marketing figure, because the reviews come from people who have lived there for years and consciously choose to stay. Johnny writes: "I've lived here since 1976, don't want to leave." Elsewhere he adds that he has lived there for almost 35 years and still doesn't want to leave. That says more than an average report card. The scores for safety (8.8) and education (9.7) stand out. That high education score is striking for a neighbourhood that is not considered prestigious, but it fits the involved, stable atmosphere that residents describe.
Annemarie Verhagen describes the neighbourhood as pleasant and practical: shops within walking distance, a hairdresser, a snack bar, and in summer a street fair with performances. "My neighbours are always there for me," she writes, and she feels safe partly thanks to the presence of a neighbourhood police officer. That sense of social control and neighbourhood involvement comes back in several reviews. It is not a neighbourhood where you are anonymous. Read all experiences on the neighbourhood page of Koedijkslanden, where the full sub-scores and demographic data are also available.
Koedijkslanden consists of several sub-neighbourhoods, each with its own character. For example, Hesselingen has its own housing mix, and rental properties can also be found in Koeberg and Reestlanden. Accessibility scores an 8.4, which is reasonably strong for a neighbourhood outside the centre of Meppel. Amenities score an 8.6, which matches the image of a neighbourhood that is self-sufficient with daily shopping and services nearby. Green space also scores an 8.6, which is noticeable in the spatial layout of the neighbourhood.
Renting in Koedijkslanden: who is it best suited for?
Koedijkslanden is primarily a neighbourhood for people who value peace, stability and social connectedness over urban dynamism. The large group of over-65s (almost 1,800 of the over 6,400 residents) and the high proportion of single-person households (1,100) indicate that this is a neighbourhood for independent older people and those who have lived in the same place for a long time. For those looking for a rental home in the private sector, supply is limited and quick action is advisable. Those who want more choice can also look at the Centre of Meppel, Berggierslanden or the Watertoren neighbourhood. For first-time buyers, the lower WOZ level in Koedijkslanden is actually an advantage.
