Scarcity and prices: the rental market in Made analysed
Anyone looking for rental properties in Made must prepare for a challenging search. Made has traditionally been a true 'buyer's village', which is clearly reflected in the figures. Of the 5,682 homes in this village, as much as 71% are owner-occupied. The rental market accounts for the remaining 29%, but appearances are somewhat deceptive here. The vast majority of these (22% of the total) are owned by housing associations and therefore intended for the social sector. The private, free-market rental sector is extremely small, at just 6% of the housing stock.
This scarcity is directly reflected in the figures from the past year. Only 18 changes were registered in the free sector. This results in a firm price level. The average rent over the past twelve months was €1,724 per month, with peaks of up to €2,950 for detached houses. Entry-level prices in the free sector rarely start below €850. When you compare this to the average income in Made (€35,500), it is clear that the supply of owner-occupied homes in Made is financially more accessible for many residents than renting in the free sector. For current daily prices and availability, you can consult the dynamic list at the top of this page.
How do 'Madenaren' experience their living environment?
Figures only tell half the story. To truly know whether renting a home in Made suits you, you need to listen to the people who live there. Overall satisfaction is high at 8.2, and this is no coincidence. Made, often locally called 'De May', combines the facilities of a small town with the cosiness of a village. Residents particularly appreciate the safety; with a sub-score of 9.0, people clearly feel at ease here. Education also scores a maximum of 10.0, making it a magnet for families.
A good example of the living experience can be found in the review by resident Dinny Vermeulen about the Prinsenhof neighbourhood. She gives her home a score of 8.3 and says: "Great, it's a nice place to live with a large grass field in front of my door." This ties in seamlessly with the sub-score for 'Green' (8.0). Made is spacious. Whether you are looking at a home in the centre of Middelmade, where amenities are close by, or seeking peace and quiet in the village-like Stuivezand, the atmosphere remains cosy.
Other residents point to the good amenities (score 8.5). You don't have to leave the village for your daily shopping. However, the character differs per neighbourhood. The newer layout of De Dreven attracts a different audience than the historic ribbon development. For a complete picture of all experiences and detailed statistics, read further on the central neighbourhood page of Made. Here you will also find more context on how accessibility (score 7.0) is experienced; for some commuters, the distance to the motorway or station is just a bit further than in the city.
For whom is renting in Made a smart move?
Given the high average rent and the spacious layout of the homes (average 113m²), renting a home in Made is particularly interesting for families and seniors with above-average incomes. The demographics support this picture: the largest age group is 45-65 years. For starters, it is difficult. With a modal income, renting an apartment in the free sector here is often not financially feasible, unless you qualify for social housing. Are you young and looking for a vibrant city life? Then Made is probably too quiet for you. However, if you are looking for a safe, green environment with top facilities for children, the high rent may well be worth it.
