Rental prices in Middelland-Zuid, Woerden: what does a home cost?
Middelland-Zuid is a small neighbourhood within the district Woerden-Oost, with a modest housing stock of only 2 registered homes. This makes the rental market here exceptionally limited. Based on free-sector transactions over the past twelve months (excluding social housing and rooms), one property was rented for €540 per month, with an average floor area of 1,512 m². This results in a remarkably low price per m², which is likely linked to the specific nature of the property in this neighbourhood. These are free-sector figures; social housing falls outside this and is generally cheaper.
For comparison: in the broader district of Woerden-Oost, the average WOZ value is €490,000, and in the municipality of Woerden as a whole it is €405,000. The housing market in Middelland-Zuid is therefore difficult to compare with surrounding neighbourhoods due to the minimal supply. For current rental prices and available rental properties in Middelland-Zuid, you can refer to the overview at the top of this page, which is updated daily.
Living in Middelland-Zuid, Woerden
Middelland-Zuid is not an average residential neighbourhood. With only five registered residents and two homes, it is effectively one of the smallest neighbourhoods in Woerden, bordering the Polanen business park and the more residential parts of Woerden-Oost. The character of the neighbourhood is therefore not comparable to a typical residential area: it is a transitional zone where living, business, and greenery intermingle.
Anyone looking for a rental home in Middelland-Zuid must reckon with a very limited supply. The neighbourhood borders the Polanen Business Park, meaning the immediate surroundings are not purely residential. For some tenants, this has advantages, such as peace in the evenings and ample driveways or parking space, but it lacks the liveliness of a true residential street.
Facilities in and around Middelland-Zuid
Due to its location on the edge of Woerden-Oost, facilities are not within walking distance but are easily accessible by bicycle. The centre of Woerden, with supermarkets such as Albert Heijn and Jumbo on or near Rijnstraat and Kerkplein, is a few minutes' bike ride away. For primary schools, you can go to the adjacent residential neighbourhoods, such as Middelland-Noord or Waterrijk, where more family-oriented facilities are also found. Sports facilities such as swimming pool De Waterslag and various sports clubs are accessible via Barwoutswaarder or towards the centre. Restaurants and shops are mainly found in the city centre of Woerden, about a ten-minute bike ride away.
