The rental market in Lansingerland: plenty of supply for sale, limited supply for rent
Lansingerland is a municipality where buying is the norm. As many as 74% of the more than 24,800 homes are owner-occupied, and only 26% are rental properties. Of those rental properties, 18% are owned by housing associations (social housing) and 8% are offered by other landlords in the private sector. This means that the supply of rental properties in Lansingerland is relatively tight, especially in the private sector. In the past twelve months, 169 homes were rented out in the private sector, at an average rent of €2,019 per month. The range runs from €340 to nearly €6,000 per month, with an average floor area of 108 m². These figures exclude social housing.

Auto-translated to English by AIYou have both houses, nature, the village with all the shops and public transport within walking distance
Auto-translated to English by AIThe Bomenbuurt is a fine neighbourhood in Bleiswijk. I have lived here for 20 years now, but over the years there have been more and more reports of car theft. I don't know about burglaries. There are many different sub-neighbourhoods. For example, if you walk out of one street, people quickly see someone else as lesser because they live in a small apartment or a flat-roofed house. There are many neighbourhood communities or more street communities. It is a nice neighbourhood to live in. In terms of greenery, it's okay; it borders the Rottemeren area, but in the neighbourhood itself there is only a small patch of green and for the rest some 1980s steel playgrounds that are dated. More greenery could certainly be added. More trees should be planted. These facilities are so-so.
Auto-translated to English by AII always enjoy it here and have no complaints
Auto-translated to English by AII haven't had any bad experiences in the neighbourhood, and a lot is done for the children, like extra playgrounds, so I'm very satisfied with that. It's also clean and there are enough waste containers in the area. All in all, a very nice neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AII think it's quite a quiet little village, I also feel safe here. The only downside is that there is still quite a bit of street litter on the ground. I think the forest is really beautiful too.
Auto-translated to English by AIOur neighbourhood is a close-knit community: everyone who lives here knows each other, if not directly then through others. Everyone is ready to help each other to keep it safe, and you can see street barbecues in many streets in the summer. The streets are largely clean, and the primary school is a stone's throw away.
