Rental homes in Lunterse Veld, Ede

Rental prices and market figures for Lunterse Veld, Ede

Lunterse Veld is a predominantly owner-occupied neighbourhood: only 19% of the 416 homes are in the rental sector, and these are exclusively with other (private) landlords. There is no housing association property in this neighbourhood, meaning social rental homes via a housing association are simply not available here. Anyone looking for a rental home in Lunterse Veld must rely on the private sector.

In the past twelve months, seven homes were rented out in the private sector (excluding social housing and rooms), with an average rent of €1,036 per month. The range was from €650 to €1,100 per month. This is comparable to the broader supply in the district Lunteren, although property values here are higher: the average WOZ value in Lunterse Veld is €731,000, compared to €537,000 for the district of Lunteren and €387,000 for the municipality of Ede as a whole. This price difference in purchase value also translates into the rental segment: cheaper rental homes are more the exception than the rule in this neighbourhood.

Living in Lunterse Veld, Ede

Lunterse Veld is located on the western side of the village of Lunteren, on the edge of the Veluwe. The neighbourhood has a quiet, green character with predominantly detached and semi-detached homes on spacious plots. The housing stock largely dates from the 1970s and 1980s, with occasional newer infill. In terms of appearance, Lunterse Veld feels more village-like and spacious than the more compact neighbourhoods towards the centre of Lunteren. The average WOZ value of €731,000 already indicates that this is not an entry-level neighbourhood: these are solid, well-maintained family homes in an environment that residents clearly appreciate.

Facilities in and around Lunterse Veld

For daily groceries, the centre of Lunteren is within cycling distance. There you will find, among others, an Albert Heijn and smaller specialist shops on the Dorpsstraat. Primary schools in Lunteren, including De Wegwijzer and the Prins Mauritsschool, are easily accessible from the neighbourhood, which partly explains why families with children are strongly represented here. Sports clubs are plentiful in Lunteren: football club DVOL, tennis club LTV Lunteren and the local scouting group attract active residents. Nature lovers are in luck: the Veluwe literally starts behind the neighbourhood, with extensive walking and mountain biking routes directly from the residential streets.

Accessibility

Lunterse Veld is primarily a car-oriented neighbourhood. Via the N224 you quickly reach the A30 towards Ede and Barneveld, and from there the A1 or A12. Ede-Wageningen is the nearest intercity station, about a ten-minute drive away. From that station, you can reach Utrecht in about twenty minutes. Bus line 88 connects Lunteren with Ede, but the frequency is limited and for many residents the car is the standard choice. Cycling to the centre of Lunteren is easily doable in five to ten minutes. Parking is not an issue in Lunterse Veld: most homes have a driveway or garage, and there is plenty of on-street parking without a permit requirement.

What residents say

On the neighbourhood page for Lunterse Veld you can read the full resident reviews and neighbourhood scores. Residents mention the peace, space and proximity to nature as major plus points. A frequently heard comment: "You really live here in the green, with the Veluwe as your back garden, yet you are within ten minutes of all facilities." Criticisms sometimes relate to the limited public transport connections and the fact that for larger shopping trips or nights out you have to go to Ede or Barneveld. Living in Lunterse Veld is therefore best suited to people who consciously choose peace and nature over urban vibrancy.

For comparison: the neighbouring district Centrum Lunteren has a more compact, more village-like atmosphere with more shops within walking distance, while Lunteren-Oost has a similar green character but with a slightly different housing mix. Also Nederwoud and Wormshoef are worth considering if you want to rent in the Lunteren area.

Is a rental home in Lunterse Veld right for you?

Lunterse Veld mainly attracts families and people in the 45-plus age group who consciously choose peace, space and greenery. The supply of rental homes in Lunterse Veld is limited: only seven private-sector homes were rented out in the past year. This means that available rental homes here are snapped up quickly. Respond quickly if you see something and make sure your rental contract, payslips and ID are ready. Social housing is not available in this neighbourhood, so registering with a housing association is pointless for Lunterse Veld itself. Anyone considering renting an apartment in Lunterse Veld should expect a private-sector price that quickly reaches around €1,000 per month. As an alternative, you could also look at homes for sale in Lunterse Veld, because with 81% owner-occupied homes, this is clearly a neighbourhood where many people ultimately choose to own. First-time buyers with a smaller budget would do well to also compare the supply in other districts, such as Ede-West or Kernhem, where the rental market is larger and more accessible.
