Rental homes in Midwoud, Medemblik

Renting in Midwoud: a small market with little private sector supply

Of the more than 1,100 homes in Midwoud, 32% are in the rental sector, the vast majority of which are owned by a housing association (29%). Only 3% fall under other landlords, meaning the supply of rental properties in Midwoud in the private sector is very limited. In the past twelve months, only 2 homes were rented in the private sector (excluding social housing and rooms), at an average rent of €2,115 per month with an average living area of 135m². The range was therefore €2,115 per month. These are annual averages; for the most current rental prices in Midwoud, you can consult the overview at the top of this page. By comparison, the average WOZ value in Midwoud is €354,000, slightly below the municipal average of Medemblik (€376,000). Anyone considering looking for a rental home in Midwoud should expect a tight market where detached and larger homes dominate.

Midwoud: living by the water in a village where everyone knows each other

Midwoud is a West Frisian polder core with a distinct village character. It is the kind of place where people stay for decades, and you can tell. The largest age group consists of 45- to 65-year-olds, but families with children are also well represented. The village has a quiet, friendly atmosphere that is hard to describe if you don't live there, but which residents clearly appreciate.

On the district page of Midwoud, the only resident rating gives an 8.1 out of 10, and that score is not unfounded. Lotte, who has lived there her whole life, describes it as follows: the people are sociable, all basic amenities are available, and she lives nicely by the water with a beautiful view. She enjoys playing football at the local sports club. At the same time, she is honest about a point of criticism: the bus connection and public transport in general leave something to be desired. That picture matches the sub-score for accessibility, which at 7.0 lags slightly behind the other scores. Safety scores remarkably high with a 10.0, and housing (9.0) and beauty (9.0) are also highly rated.

The village consists of a compact core and an extensive rural area. Anyone considering renting in the centre of Midwoud will find basic amenities within walking distance, while Midwoud Buitengebied offers more space and greenery but is even more dependent on the car. The community is close-knit, the surroundings green and full of water. If that's what you're looking for, you're in the right place. If you need urban vibrancy or good public transport connections, you need to be realistic about what Midwoud offers.

Does a rental home in Midwoud suit you, or not?

Renting in Midwoud is especially attractive for people who appreciate peace, space and a close-knit community and have their own car. Families and people aged 45 and over generally feel at home here. It is less suitable for starters who depend on social housing (waiting times at housing associations are long and supply is small) or for people who want to rent an apartment in Midwoud, because that type of home is hardly available here. If you are flexible about location, you can also look at the supply in nearby villages such as Opperdoes or Twisk. Are you considering staying longer? Then homes for sale in Midwoud are a serious alternative, especially given the relatively lower WOZ values compared to the rest of the municipality.
