Rental prices and market figures for Minnebeek-Watermolen, Roosendaal

A large proportion of these are owned by housing corporations: 37% of all homes in the neighbourhood are corporation-owned, which equates to social housing. The remaining landlords (private and commercial) account for around 7% of the stock. The free sector is therefore relatively limited.
In the free sector (excluding social housing), an average rent of €1,664 per month was achieved over the past twelve months, based on seven rented homes. The range ran from €1,250 to €1,975 per month, with an average living area of 140 m². This works out at approximately €11.90 per m².

The average WOZ value in Minnebeek-Watermolen is €244,000. That is lower than the average in the surrounding district Groot Kroeven (€264,000) and clearly lower than the Roosendaal average of €292,000.

Living in Minnebeek-Watermolen, Roosendaal
Minnebeek-Watermolen is a quiet, green neighbourhood on the southwest side of Roosendaal, part of the Groot Kroeven district. The name refers to the Minnebeek, a watercourse that runs through the area, and the historic watermill in the vicinity. This gives the neighbourhood a character you will find in few other Roosendaal neighbourhoods: there is water, there is greenery, and the pace is much slower than in the centre.
The housing stock consists mainly of ground-level homes, including terraced houses and semi-detached houses from the 1970s and 1980s. There are also detached homes, which gives the neighbourhood a more varied streetscape than the more uniform post-war expansions elsewhere in Groot Kroeven. The average free-sector home is spacious at 140 m², making the neighbourhood attractive for people who consciously choose space over a central location.
