At the same time, the neighbourhood has remained mixed over the years, with a blend of families, older people and an increasing number of young singles and couples aged 25 to 45.

Is renting in Kronehoef right for you?

Kronehoef mainly attracts young workers and singles: the largest age group is 25 to 45 years old and single-person households form the largest category. However, families and a significant group of over-65s also live there. The high proportion of corporation homes (43%) also makes the neighbourhood accessible to people with lower incomes, provided you are willing to wait for a social rental property. For those looking for a home quickly, the private sector is the most realistic route. Respond quickly to listings: rental properties in Kronehoef are typically rented out within a few weeks. Make sure you have proof of income, an employer's statement and a valid ID ready. Would you rather buy? Also check the supply of homes for sale in Kronehoef as an alternative. One drawback to be honest about: the supply of private-sector homes is limited; 62 homes were rented out in the past year, so you need to be alert to new listings.
