Renting in Kortendijk: an owner-occupied neighbourhood with little private sector supply
Kortendijk is predominantly an owner-occupied neighbourhood. Of the 4,758 homes, 72% are owner-occupied, and only 28% are rented out. The majority of rental properties are owned by housing associations (26%), while private landlords play only a minor role (2%). If you are looking for a rental home in the private sector, you should expect limited supply. In the past twelve months, only 2 homes were rented out in the private sector, at an average rent of €1,250 per month. The range was €1,250, meaning there was little variation in supply. These are annual averages for the private sector, excluding social housing. For current rental prices and available properties, you can consult the overview at the top of this page. The average WOZ value in Kortendijk is €335,000, significantly higher than the municipal average of €292,000 in Roosendaal. This reflects the purchasing power in the neighbourhood but does not make renting in the private sector any cheaper.
Kortendijk: quiet family neighbourhood with strong criticism of accessibility and play space
Kortendijk is a neighbourhood that on paper has a lot: green surroundings, relatively safe, and a clear family character. The largest age group consists of 45- to 65-year-olds, and households with children form the largest category. This gives the neighbourhood a quiet, established atmosphere. But quiet does not mean everyone is satisfied.
On the neighbourhood page of Kortendijk, residents give the neighbourhood an average score of 5.2 out of 10. That is low. The sub-scores show a clear pattern: safety (7.0) and greenery (7.0) score reasonably, but accessibility (2.0) and amenities (2.0) are rated downright poor. Resident Abdel describes the neighbourhood as "quite bad" and explains why: there is no place for children to play outside with friends, and for everything the city has to offer, you have to travel far. That combination, little play space and poor accessibility, is a recurring pain point.
Kortendijk consists of several sub-neighbourhoods, each with its own character. For supply in the sub-areas, you can look at Kortendijk A, Kortendijk C or Kortendijk L. Bakkersberg-Langendijk and Landerije also fall within the neighbourhood boundaries of Kortendijk. The municipality itself offers more information about social housing and waiting lists in the region via roosendaal.nl.
Renting in Kortendijk: suitable for those seeking peace, less so for those dependent on public transport
Kortendijk best suits tenants who consciously choose a quiet, green living environment and have no daily dependence on public transport. Families with a car and a stable income will feel at home here. However, those who depend on public transport or are looking for vibrancy and nearby amenities will quickly notice the low accessibility score (2.0) in practice. It is also not a logical choice for young people or students. Considering buying a home instead of renting? Then check the supply of homes for sale in Kortendijk, as that segment is by far the largest here.
