That is a relatively large share for a village in the municipality of Berg en Dal, where owner-occupancy is clearly the norm. The vast majority of rental properties are owned by a housing association: 37% of the total housing stock is owned by housing associations, while only 4% is owned by other (private) landlords.

Living in Millingen aan de Rijn-Oost, Berg en Dal
Millingen aan de Rijn-Oost is the eastern part of Millingen aan de Rijn, a small border village literally on the edge of the Netherlands and Germany, wedged between the Rhine and the Millingerwaard. The neighbourhood has a distinct village character: no high-rise buildings, little commercial activity, and an environment strongly defined by nature and open space. Resident Joyce aptly describes it as a "green village on the border with Germany", and that is accurate. The Millingerwaard, one of the largest unembanked nature reserves in the Netherlands, is practically on your doorstep.
The housing stock consists mainly of post-war ground-level homes, terraced houses and detached houses. New-build apartments are rare. This makes renting in Millingen aan de Rijn-Oost difficult for those looking for an apartment: the supply is scarce and not very diverse. Those looking for a larger family home have a better chance, although that too remains limited.
Facilities in Millingen aan de Rijn-Oost
Millingen aan de Rijn is a small village and the density of facilities is correspondingly low. For daily groceries, there is a local supermarket in the village itself, but for a larger range, residents rely on Nijmegen or Kleve (Germany), both about a twenty-minute drive away. Primary school facilities are available in the village, consistent with the relatively modest number of children (400 residents aged 0 to 15). Secondary education is not available locally and requires travel to surrounding towns. For sports and recreation, the immediate surroundings offer a lot: walking and cycling in the Millingerwaard, along the Rhine and across the border. Sports clubs are active in the village, although the offering is limited compared to larger centres in the municipality. Hospitality is modestly present.
Accessibility
The accessibility of Millingen aan de Rijn-Oost scores a 6.0 in the resident rating, and that is fair. There is no train station in the village itself. By bus, you are connected to Nijmegen, but the frequency is limited and the travel time to the centre of Nijmegen is easily 40 to 50 minutes. By car, Nijmegen is reachable via the A15 and N325 in about 25 minutes. Kleve in Germany is even closer. Parking in the neighbourhood is generally not a problem and is free. Cycling is feasible for short distances, but the distance to larger centres makes the bicycle less practical for daily commuting. Resident Mark points out a specific traffic bottleneck: "The streets are laid out illogically. Lots of one-way traffic, you have to drive all around." That is something to consider if you rely on a car in the neighbourhood itself.
Atmosphere and community life
The neighbourhood scores a 7.1 based on two resident reviews, with highlights being green spaces (9.0) and accessibility (6.0). Opinions on social life are divided. Mark gives a 5.9 and describes a neighbourhood where "everyone does their own thing" and the sense of community is limited. Joyce gives an 8.2 and emphasises that in times of trouble, many neighbours are ready to help. Both images can be true simultaneously: it is a quiet neighbourhood without an active community life, but in crisis situations, involvement turns out to be greater than expected. For more resident experiences, see the reviews and neighbourhood data of Millingen aan de Rijn-Oost.
Those looking for a rental home in an environment with plenty of green and tranquillity, and who place less value on urban facilities or fast public transport connections, will feel at home here. Those who are dependent on public transport or commute to Nijmegen daily should seriously consider accessibility.

Everyone does their own thing and there is little complaining. Furthermore, there is little sense of community. The housing association does too little about complaints about homes. And the streets are laid out illogically. Lots of one-way traffic, you have to drive around everywhere, and there is an intersection that is designed to cause as many problems as possible.
