Renting in Mook en Middelaar: a small municipality with a tight rental market
Mook en Middelaar is one of the smallest municipalities in Limburg, with around 8,150 residents spread across a handful of villages along the Meuse. This small-scale character is also noticeable in the rental market: of the approximately 3,679 homes, only 25% are rental properties. Of these, 16% are owned by housing associations (social housing) and 9% are offered by other landlords in the private sector. This means that supply is limited and you need to act quickly when something becomes available. In the private sector, only 16 homes were rented out in the past twelve months, at an average rent of €1,752 per month. The range runs from €941 to €2,975, with an average floor area of 106 m². These are substantial amounts for a village, but the location explains a lot: Nijmegen is a quarter of an hour's drive away, Radboud University is nearby, and you live here right in the green surroundings of the Rijk van Nijmegen.
