Renting by the water: what does a rental home in Loosdrecht cost?
The rental market in Loosdrecht is small and selective. Of the 1,152 homes in the neighbourhood, only 30% are rental properties, the majority of which are owned by private landlords (21%) and a smaller portion by housing associations (9%). So those looking for a social rental home have little choice here. In the free sector, 14 homes were rented out last year, with an average rent of €2,091 per month and a range of €1,050 to €3,000 per month. The average floor area was 156 m², indicating that these are mostly spacious homes. The WOZ value of €689,000 is well above the municipal average of €537,000 for Wijdemeren, which explains the higher rent level. At the top of this page you will find the current supply and the most recent average rent.
Anyone looking for a rental home in Loosdrecht must take into account limited supply and relatively high prices. This is partly due to the attractive location on the Loosdrechtse Plassen, and partly because the housing stock consists mainly of owner-occupied homes. Renting in Loosdrecht is therefore more the exception than the rule.
Quiet, green and close-knit: living in Loosdrecht according to residents
Loosdrecht scores a 7.6 on Buurtje.nl, based on resident experiences. Safety (9.0) and sense of community (8.8) score notably high. You can recognise the latter when reading the reviews. Resident Saskia writes: "The surroundings are beautiful by the water" and describes the neighbourhood as pleasant, with good facilities for children. She does note a drawback regarding accessibility: the bus does not run frequently in Oud-Loosdrecht, which explains the lower score for accessibility (7.0). Peter van Laar, who has lived here his whole life, sums it up succinctly: he grew up in Loosdrecht and will never leave. The peace and somewhat remote location are not a disadvantage for him but an asset.
That feeling of remote-but-home is typical of Loosdrecht. It is not a neighbourhood where you quickly catch a train or have a supermarket around the corner. Facilities and beauty both score a 6.8, which is fair: it is not a bustling centre, but a quiet water neighbourhood with its own character. For families with children, there is De Catamaran primary school, praised by several residents for its close-knit team and personal approach. Those looking for more urban amenities have to rely on surrounding towns.
The neighbourhood largely consists of over-45s (the largest age group has 870 people), which supports the quiet, easy-going atmosphere. There are fewer young people and young families. Those seeking more dynamism can also look at Nieuw-Loosdrecht or nearby Kortenhoef.

Renting in Loosdrecht: who does it work for, and who not?
A rental home in Loosdrecht best suits people who consciously choose peace, space and water, and who have their own transport or are not dependent on it. The average income of €53,400 and the high proportion of highly educated people (48%) indicate that the neighbourhood has an affluent profile. Anyone looking for an affordable apartment to rent in Loosdrecht or dependent on public transport will struggle here. For starters or people with a lower budget, rents in the free sector are likely too high, and supply in the social sector is minimal. In that case, also consider 's-Graveland or Ankeveen as alternatives. Those who want to buy can find the supply of homes for sale in Loosdrecht on the same page.

Accessibility is one of the weaker points of Loosdrecht. Residents give it a 7.0, and one reviewer notes that the bus in Oud-Loosdrecht does not run frequently.

The surroundings are beautiful by the water. The catamaran is a small school where all the children know each other. There is a hardworking and friendly team with a heart for the children. In Oud-Loosdrecht, a bus runs, but it doesn't run often. Hence the lower score for accessibility. Lots of restaurants in the area, and if you are a water lover, you are in the right place here!

Team, parents and other partners work together for good education. We realise a future-proof and suitable offering for our children.

Auto-translated to English by AII grew up here and I'll never leave. I don't want a wife or kids because it's so quiet here and I can sometimes invite a hooker and then I have what I sometimes need and no one sees it because it's a bit secluded.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe roads are good and it's easily accessible. A lot of activity in the summer and sometimes in the winter when people are skating. Especially a lot of cosiness during those times. In the winter, especially many atmospheric lights in the streets. In the summer, a lot of trouble with flies and in the winter with spiders.
