Renting in Lingewaard: between the rivers in the private sector and social housing
Lingewaard is a municipality in the Gelderland river area, nestled between the Waal and the Rhine, with around 47,300 residents spread across villages such as Bemmel, Huissen and Gendt. Of the more than 20,300 homes, 27% are rental properties. Approximately 19% of the total housing stock is owned by housing associations (mainly Waardwonen), while around 8% comes onto the market via other landlords. This means that the private sector supply is limited. In the past twelve months, only 35 homes have been rented out in the private sector, at an average rent of €1,633 per month. The range runs from €541 to €2,975, with an average floor area of 152 m². These are substantial amounts for a rural municipality, but you generally get plenty of space in return. For social housing, you can register via WoningNet Rivierenland. Want to know what is available today? Then check the current overview at the top of this page.

The villages of Lingewaard: where do you want to rent?
Lingewaard consists of several centres, each with its own character. Residents of the municipality rate living here an average of 7.2 out of 10, but the differences per village are striking. On the municipality page of Lingewaard you can find all resident reviews.
Gendt, village tranquillity with the highest score
Gendt scores a 9.0 from residents, the highest neighbourhood score within the municipality. It is a compact village on the Waal with an active club life, its own supermarket and primary schools. Gendt mainly attracts families and older residents seeking peace and quiet but not complete isolation. The rental supply here is scarce, so if something becomes available, you need to be quick.
Huissen, the largest village with the most amenities
With a neighbourhood score of 7.3 based on 8 reviews, Huissen is the highest-rated larger centre. Huissen has a cosy historic centre with shops, eateries and a weekly market. One resident writes that the combination of village feel and good accessibility to Arnhem makes the village attractive. There are several primary schools and sports clubs, making it popular with families. Huissen railway station is closed, but bus lines to Arnhem and Nijmegen run frequently.
Bemmel, the administrative heart
Bemmel is the largest centre and the administrative heart of Lingewaard, with the town hall, various supermarkets, secondary schools and sports facilities. Residents give Bemmel a 6.7, slightly below the municipal average. Reviews show that some residents appreciate the amenities but find the village less atmospheric than, for example, Huissen or Gendt. For those looking for a rental home with the best chance of supply, Bemmel is the logical place to start.
In addition, there are smaller villages worth considering. Haalderen lies between Bemmel and Gendt and offers a quiet living environment. Doornenburg is known for its castle and has a truly rural character. Angeren and Loo are the smallest centres, really for people who consciously choose the countryside. In Ressen, on the southern edge of the municipality, new-build homes have been constructed in recent years, close to the junction with the A15.

We came to live in Huissen with the idea: we won't stay here long. But now: 28 years later, it's hard to find a better place and house. So Huissen is not so bad after all. Nice centre, park Lingezegen. And Arnhem within cycling distance. And Nijmegen also nearby. So Huissen is GREAT

Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a quiet neighbourhood to live in and has all the amenities.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt is a self-contained neighbourhood. There is direct and personal contact with only a few people. But overall, there is a pleasant atmosphere.
Auto-translated to English by AIWhen we first lived in Loovelden, it was a real new-build neighbourhood. Good houses but lots of stone, stone, stone. Because the municipality of Lingewaard, the water board and Arnhem want to turn it into a kind of nature area, there are now places with much more nature. Really well done.
Auto-translated to English by AIGreat house. Water at the doorstep. Plenty of variety in the surroundings. I only miss a train. And many dog owners let their dogs poop everywhere and don't clean it up. Dog poop is really a problem. And the water needs to be cleaned or dredged more often by Rijkswaterstaat.
Auto-translated to English by AIA nice neighbourhood, lots of families with young children. Gardens all well oriented towards the sun. Sometimes a bit harder to reach, but not too difficult.
Auto-translated to English by AILived there for 22 years, the neighbourhood kept getting worse. Initially a reasonably green neighbourhood, later no greenery at all. Took children out of school due to lack of proper follow-up lessons and unsafety.
