Rental homes in Maasdriel

Renting in Maasdriel: an honest picture of the local rental market

Maasdriel is a municipality in the Bommelerwaard with over 26,000 residents, spread across villages such as Kerkdriel, Hedel, Ammerzoden, Heerewaarden and Rossum. It is a predominantly green, rural municipality where buying is the norm: 71% of the housing stock is owner-occupied, and only 29% is rental housing. Of those rental homes, about 20% are owned by housing associations (social housing) and around 8% by other landlords, including the private sector.

In the private sector (excluding social housing and room rentals), the average rent over the past twelve months was €1,722 per month, with a range of €400 to €2,950. The average floor area was 195 m², indicating that these are mainly larger single-family homes and detached houses. Renting an apartment in Maasdriel is therefore more difficult than in a city like Arnhem, simply because supply is limited: only eleven homes were rented out in the private sector last year. At the top of this page you will always find the current supply and daily prices. The accessibility of the municipality is reasonable: via the A2 you are quickly in Den Bosch or Zaltbommel, but public transport is limited. Residents therefore give accessibility a score of 6.0. Major employers are not located in the municipality itself, but in the region around Den Bosch, Tiel and Geldermalsen.

Villages in Maasdriel: where do you want to live?

Maasdriel consists of several village centres, each with its own character. The differences are not huge, but if you want to rent a home here, it is good to know what to expect per village. On the municipality page of Maasdriel you will find all resident reviews and scores.

Kerkdriel, the largest village with the best score

Kerkdriel is the largest centre of the municipality and scores a 7.4 from residents on Buurtje.nl (based on 2 reviews). The village has its own supermarket, primary schools and sports clubs. It is a typical Gelderland river village: quiet, many families, and a close-knit community. The homes are generally spacious. Those looking for a rental home in Kerkdriel will mainly find single-family homes here. The score for education across the entire municipality is remarkably high at 8.7, and you notice that in Kerkdriel: there are good primary schools and parents are satisfied with them.

Ammerzoden, small but characteristic

Ammerzoden is a smaller village with a historic centre around the castle. The neighbourhood score here is 6.0 (1 review), which is on the low side. One resident mentioned that facilities are limited, and that is true: for larger shopping trips or a secondary school you have to rely on Kerkdriel or Zaltbommel. Nevertheless, Ammerzoden has charm due to its old village centre and its location on the Maas. Check the rental supply in Ammerzoden if you are looking for peace and space and are not dependent on facilities within walking distance.

The other villages each have their own appeal. Hedel is strategically located near the A2 and is therefore popular with commuters. The village has its own centre with shops and catering. Heerewaarden is the smallest village, sandwiched between the Maas and Waal rivers, and is really for people who consciously choose a life in a small, close-knit village. Rossum lies on the Maas and is similar to Heerewaarden in scale and atmosphere, but has an active club life.

What stands out in the resident assessment of the entire municipality is the high score for beauty (7.7). The Bommelerwaard is a beautiful river landscape with floodplains, dikes and fruit orchards. Green scores slightly lower at 6.3, which is surprising for such a rural municipality, but may be related to the maintenance of public green spaces in the village centres. The average municipality score is 6.9 based on 3 reviews. You can read more details and experiences of residents on the page about Maasdriel.

Who is a rental home in Maasdriel suitable for?

Maasdriel is mainly a municipality for families and couples who want space at a relatively affordable price compared to the Randstad. The largest household group consists of families with children (4,010 households), and 42% of residents are married. The average age is high: the largest group is 45 to 65 years old. For starters and singles, the supply is limited. There are few small apartments, and the private sector focuses on the more expensive segment. Anyone considering renting a home in Maasdriel in the social sector would do well to register with housing association Woonlinie via the website of the municipality of Maasdriel for more information about housing allocation. Waiting times for social housing in this region are considerable.

Be honest with yourself: if you depend on public transport or are looking for a vibrant nightlife, Maasdriel is not the right place. Then rather consider a home in Apeldoorn or renting in Arnhem. If you have a car and are looking for peace, space and a village environment to raise children, then renting in Maasdriel is worth considering. Those who prefer to buy, and 71% here do, can also look at homes for sale in Maasdriel, where the average WOZ value is €406,000.
