Rental homes in Krooswijk, Moerdijk

Rental prices and market figures for Krooswijk, Moerdijk

Krooswijk is predominantly an owner-occupied neighbourhood: 76% of the more than 1,700 homes are owned, while 24% are rented. Of those rental properties, the majority are owned by a housing association (19%), meaning the private sector is relatively small (around 5% of the total housing stock). Those looking to rent a home in Krooswijk outside the social housing sector therefore have limited choice.

In the private sector (excluding social housing), one property was rented out in the past year, with a rent of €1,750 per month. That is the only reference point for the free market in this neighbourhood; the range therefore runs from €1,750 to €1,750 per month. Bear in mind that this is based on a single transaction and that the picture is therefore limited. For current rental prices and available rental properties in Krooswijk, see the overview at the top of this page.

The average WOZ value in Krooswijk is €298,000, which is lower than the district average of Zevenbergen (€330,000) and the municipal average of Moerdijk (€335,000). This suggests that homes here are priced slightly more affordably than elsewhere in the municipality, although this does not automatically translate into lower rents in the private sector. The average income in the neighbourhood is €35,900, also slightly below the municipal average of €37,300.

Living in Krooswijk, Moerdijk

Krooswijk is a quiet residential neighbourhood on the edge of Zevenbergen, the largest town in the municipality of Moerdijk. The neighbourhood has a green, somewhat village-like character with mainly ground-floor homes, terraced houses and detached owner-occupied homes. It is not a new-build neighbourhood, but neither is it an outdated urban area. The atmosphere is predominantly quiet and family-oriented, which is reflected in the demographic composition: the largest age group is 45 to 65 years, and households with children are the most common household type.

Facilities in Krooswijk

For daily shopping, you will need to go to the centre of Zevenbergen, which is within cycling distance. There you will find supermarkets, a pharmacy, GPs and various shops. Krooswijk itself does not have its own shopping centre, but the proximity of Zevenbergen's centre means this is hardly a drawback. The same applies to schools: primary and secondary schools are available in and around Zevenbergen, which is also reflected in the relatively high score for education (8.0 out of 10). Sports and recreation are well represented in the area, with sports clubs for football, tennis and other sports in Zevenbergen. The neighbourhood itself has green spaces and playgrounds, contributing to the high score for green space (8.0). For more extensive care or larger retail chains, you will need to go to Roosendaal or Breda, both about 20 to 30 minutes away by car.

Accessibility

Krooswijk is conveniently located near the A16 and A17, two major motorways that connect the neighbourhood to Breda (about 20 minutes), Rotterdam (about 40 minutes) and Bergen op Zoom. For motorists, this is a clear plus point. Parking is free and without a permit on most streets, which is pleasant for residents and visitors. Public transport is more limited: there is no train station in Zevenbergen itself, but bus services run to Breda and Roosendaal. Travellers who rely on the train must allow for a transfer or a trip to a nearby station. By bike, the centre of Zevenbergen is easily accessible, which is practical for daily trips. The accessibility score from residents is 7.0, confirming this picture: excellent for motorists, less ideal for tenants dependent on public transport.

Atmosphere and what residents say

Krooswijk scores 7.0 out of 10 based on resident reviews, which can be read on the neighbourhood page for Krooswijk. High scores are for safety (8.0), green space (8.0) and education (8.0). Lower scores are for community (6.0), housing (6.0) and facilities (6.0). One resident describes the neighbourhood as follows: "It is a nice neighbourhood to live in. It is safe for children. Unfortunately, the atmosphere on my street has disappeared in recent years. This is because people have moved away. Less pleasant people have moved in who cause noise nuisance." That gives an honest picture: the neighbourhood is basically pleasant and safe, but the atmosphere between neighbours can vary greatly from street to street. If you value a close-knit neighbourhood community, it is wise to take this into account.

For comparison, also popular among tenants is Centrum, which offers more facilities within walking distance but may be busier. If you prefer more peace and quiet outside the centre, you could also look at Torenveld or Bosselaar, other neighbourhoods in Zevenbergen with a similar living character.

Is renting in Krooswijk right for you?

Families and people aged 35 to 65 generally feel at home in Krooswijk. The neighbourhood is quiet, green and safe, and the schools in the area are rated positively. However, starters looking for an affordable rental property will find that supply is limited: the private sector is small and social housing is in the hands of a housing association, with waiting lists. If you are considering buying instead of renting, you can view the homes for sale in Krooswijk as an alternative. Given the low WOZ value compared to the municipality, buying here may be relatively attractive. When renting in the private sector, prepare your documents well: think of an employer's statement, recent payslips and an identity document. Respond quickly to available rental properties in Krooswijk, as supply is scarce.
