Rental homes in Lingewijk, Gorinchem

What does a rental property in the private sector in Lingewijk cost?

Lingewijk is a neighbourhood where renting is the norm: 62% of the more than 1,340 homes are rental properties, and as many as 53% are owned by a housing association. This means that the supply in the private sector is limited. In the past twelve months, only four homes have been rented out in the private sector, at an average rent of €1,371 per month. The range was between €1,305 and €1,425, with an average floor area of 117 m². This is comparable to what you pay elsewhere in Gorinchem, although the average income in Lingewijk (€31,900) is significantly lower than the municipal average of €37,300. The WOZ value of €308,000 is in line with this and is just below the Gorinchem average of €312,000.

Lingewijk: playgrounds, tranquillity and a touch of criticism

On Buurtje.nl, residents rate Lingewijk a 7.4 out of 10. That is a solid score that fits the character of the neighbourhood well: pleasant to live in, but not without reservations. Resident A. gives an 8.1 and writes: "I think the neighbourhood is a beautiful place. Lovely and quiet. Lots of children playing together in the large playground." That playground is indeed a recognisable anchor point. With 520 households with children, Lingewijk is clearly a family neighbourhood, and you can tell on the streets. The 25 to 45 age group, with 945 residents, is by far the largest, which explains why you see buggies and cargo bikes during the day and a peaceful atmosphere in the evening.

Yet not everyone is entirely positive. Bart (6.8/10) notes: "I think where I live is a nice and beautiful neighbourhood, but I just regret that there is so little greenery." That observation is confirmed by the sub-score for greenery: a 6.5, the lowest score of all categories. Lingewijk is not a neighbourhood where you find extensive park landscapes. There are trees along the streets, but you have to look outside the neighbourhood for real nature. Bart also mentions that more rubbish bins are needed and that he finds education in Gorinchem mediocre. In terms of accessibility, however, Lingewijk scores strongly: an 8.5. The neighbourhood is close to the A15 and A27, and Gorinchem station is reachable within a few minutes. Read more about residents' experiences on the Lingewijk neighbourhood page, where all reviews and detailed neighbourhood data are available.

In terms of amenities (7.5), you can manage just fine in Lingewijk. You can do your daily shopping in the immediate vicinity, and for a larger range of shops, you can cycle to the city centre of Gorinchem within five minutes, with its ramparts and terraces. The atmosphere in the neighbourhood is involved but not intrusive: the community score of 7.0 indicates a neighbourhood where you know your neighbours without being expected at every street barbecue. Anyone who wants to compare the neighbourhood at neighbourhood level will find the specific figures per sub-area there.

Renting in Lingewijk: good for families, less so for nature lovers

With the large proportion of families, the presence of playgrounds and a quiet atmosphere, Lingewijk is particularly attractive for young parents and couples looking for space. Renting an apartment is sometimes possible here, but the supply in the private sector is small. Singles or starters with a lower budget are dependent on the social housing sector, where waiting times can be considerable. If you prefer to buy rather than rent, you can view the supply of homes for sale in Lingewijk. If you are looking for more greenery or a different type of neighbourhood, it is worth also looking at Haarwijk or the quiet Stalkaarsen neighbourhood. To be honest, Lingewijk is not the neighbourhood for those who want nature around the corner, but for those looking for an affordable and well-connected rental home in Gorinchem, it is a solid choice.
