Renting in Moordrecht: a small private sector in a owner-occupied dominated neighbourhood
Moordrecht is essentially an owner-occupied neighbourhood. Of the more than 3,700 homes, 66% are owner-occupied and only 34% are rental properties. The majority of those rental properties are owned by a housing association (28%), meaning the private sector here is limited. This is reflected in the figures: in the past twelve months, only three homes were rented out in the private sector in Moordrecht, with an average rent of €1,917 per month. The range was between €1,900 and €1,950 per month, with an average floor area of 192m². These are annual averages for the private sector, excluding social housing. For current rents and availability, please consult the overview at the top of this page. The WOZ value in Moordrecht is €361,000, which is lower than the municipal average of Zuidplas (€411,000). This indicates that the housing stock here is relatively affordable compared to the rest of the municipality of Zuidplas, although this does not directly translate into low rents in the private sector.

Moordrecht consists of several sub-neighbourhoods, each with its own character. Kern Moordrecht is the historic heart of the village, while the Bloemenbuurt has a quieter, greener feel. Those looking for a bit more space on the outskirts of the village can look at Vijfakkers-Noord or the Uiterwaard.

For daily shopping, you are limited to a small selection within the village itself, which explains the lower amenities score.
