Living in Midden, Gennep
Midden is the central neighbourhood of the town of Gennep, located in the heart of the eponymous municipality in North Limburg, near the Meuse. It is a predominantly quiet, village-like neighbourhood with a mix of post-war homes, terraced houses and small-scale apartment complexes. The neighbourhood has undergone a visible facelift in recent years: roads have been renewed and rental homes have been refurbished, which has improved the streetscape. Resident Naomi rates the neighbourhood a 9.8 and writes: "Child-friendly and predominantly quiet neighbourhood. Recently, the roads and rental homes have been spruced up, which has significantly improved the appearance of the neighbourhood. By creating one-way streets, the number of cars in the neighbourhood has become negligible."
That image of peace and clarity is widely shared, although there are also critical notes. Resident Imre (7.1) misses a train station and mentions groups of teenagers who sometimes feel above the law as a point of attention. Yet his verdict is positive: "We are close to the supermarket, the forest and the bus station!" That immediately says something about what Midden does have to offer.

Does renting in Midden suit you?
Midden is a neighbourhood that suits people who want to combine peace and proximity to facilities. The largest age group is 65-plus (over 1,290 of the 4,015 residents), which partly explains the quiet atmosphere. Single-person households are the most common household type (720 units). Yet the neighbourhood is also child-friendly, as residents confirm. For starters looking for a rental home in an affordable environment: the free-sector supply is limited (five rented homes in a year), so quick response is advisable. Also register with a housing association for social housing; 42% of the housing stock falls under this, but waiting lists can be long. As an alternative, it is worth looking at the supply of owner-occupied homes in Midden, especially given the relatively low WOZ value compared to the rest of the municipality.
