What does a rental property in Kustwijk cost? Free sector from €1,300
Kustwijk is predominantly an owner-occupied district: 74% of the more than 5,400 homes are owned, and only 26% are rented. Of that rental stock, 18% is owned by housing associations and 8% by other landlords. Social housing is therefore limited, and supply in the free sector is also not large. Over the past twelve months, only 35 rental properties in the free sector have been let, at an average rent of €1,868 per month. The range runs from €1,300 to €2,449 per month, with an average floor area of 114 m². These are substantial amounts, especially considering that the average disposable income in Kustwijk is €38,000 per year. The WOZ value of homes here (€369,000) is also clearly above the average for Lelystad (€326,000), which explains the higher rents. For the current daily price and the current supply, you can consult the overview at the top of this page.
Green tranquillity, but little neighbourly contact: what is life really like in Kustwijk?
On the district page for Kustwijk, residents rate the district 7.2 out of 10, based on twelve reviews. The highest scores go to green spaces (8.5) and safety (8.1). That matches the picture: Kustwijk is a spacious district with plenty of greenery, wide streets and relatively new homes. Resident Jan writes: "It is a quiet and good neighbourhood, but there are definitely some points for improvement. Especially education and schools in the area." That criticism of the school provision recurs. Nook also confirms that there is no secondary school in the area and calls the primary school "poor". Education therefore scores only 6.7.
What stands out in the reviews is the recurring complaint about the lack of social contact. Resident Caroline writes several times about "little to no interaction" and "every man for himself". The sub-score for community (6.3) confirms that picture. Kustwijk is not a district where you quickly pop round to the neighbours for coffee. It is more a place where people consciously choose peace and space, not necessarily sociability. Caroline also mentions litter as a problem, which she says has increased since bins were removed, especially around the primary school.
In terms of accessibility, the district scores 6.8. Kustwijk is located on the north side of Lelystad, with good road connections to the A6, but public transport is limited. Shopping is mainly done in neighbouring districts or the centre. The neighbourhoods within Kustwijk vary considerably: in Golfpark Lommerrijk you will find the largest and most expensive homes, while Punter and Jol are more compact and affordable. The housing itself is rated 7.9, which fits with the relatively young housing stock with good energy labels (average gas consumption of only 1,130 m³ indicates well-insulated homes).
Renting in Kustwijk: suitable for those seeking peace, less so for starters
With rents from €1,300 in the free sector, a rental home in Kustwijk is not within reach for starters or single people on a median income. The district mainly attracts dual-income earners and families with children, who complement the 45-65 age group (3,515 residents, the largest group). The 2,120 households with children confirm that profile. If you are looking for an apartment to rent in Kustwijk, supply is limited: most rented homes are single-family homes. If you do have the budget but prefer to buy, you can look at homes for sale in Kustwijk. For those seeking more social cohesion and amenities, Waterwijk-Landerijen or the green Boswijk are worth considering.
