Renting in Melick: a small private sector in a buyer-dominated market
Melick is primarily an owner-occupied neighbourhood. Of the 1,688 homes, no less than 75% are owner-occupied, which immediately indicates that the supply of rental homes is limited.

The range was between €950 and €1,100 per month, with an average floor area of 61 m². These are annual averages for the private sector, excluding social housing.

Melick as a village: small, quiet and remarkably content
Melick is a village in the municipality of Roerdalen that does not stand out for its hustle and bustle or urban allure, but precisely for its tranquillity and strong village community. The largest age group is 65-plus (over 1,000 of the 3,705 residents), followed by the 45 to 65 age group. This sets the tone: this is not a neighbourhood for those seeking a vibrant nightlife or a dense concentration of urban amenities. It is a village where people live who consciously choose it.
On the neighbourhood page of Melick, residents give the village an impressive average of 8.8 out of 10. Resident Jelte describes it simply but aptly: "I think it's a very nice village, nicer than Heel." The scores per category underline that picture: safety scores 9.0, accessibility even 10.0, and community and green spaces both score 9.0. Only housing (8.0) and beauty (8.0) score slightly lower, which is logical for a village with a limited and predominantly older housing stock.
The accessibility score of 10 is striking for a village of this size. Melick is located in the municipality of Roerdalen, well connected towards Roermond. Those living in Buitengebied Melick experience even more peace and space, but are dependent on their own transport for that. The community is cited by residents as one of the strongest points: it is a village where people know each other.
