Rental prices and market figures for Nieuwdorp, Stein
Of the more than 1,160 homes in Nieuwdorp, 35% are in the rental sector, while the remaining 65% are owner-occupied. This rental percentage is fairly normal for a Limburg residential neighbourhood, but supply is limited. Social housing corporations account for 30% of the total housing stock, while only 5% is owned by other (private) landlords. Social housing thus dominates the rental market here; the free sector is small.
In the free sector (excluding social housing), 2 homes were rented out over the past twelve months at an average rent of €651 per month, with a range of €651 to €651 per month. This is a remarkably low price level compared to the average in the Stein district and certainly compared to the municipal average. The average WOZ value of homes in Nieuwdorp is €246,000, while in the Stein district it is €276,000 and in the municipality of Stein as a whole it is €288,000. Nieuwdorp thus scores clearly below the district and municipal averages, which fits with the relatively high concentration of social housing and the modest income level (€29,500 compared to the municipal average of €34,800). Because the free-sector supply is very limited, the rental figures mentioned are indicative.

Living in Nieuwdorp, Stein
Nieuwdorp is a compact, predominantly quiet residential neighbourhood on the edge of the centre of Stein. The name says it all: it is an expansion neighbourhood built in the second half of the twentieth century, with a mix of post-war terraced houses, semi-detached houses and a limited number of apartment blocks. The streets are green, the building density is lower than in the older core of Stein, and you notice that many residents have lived here for years. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years (710 people), followed by those aged 65 and over (660 people). This gives the neighbourhood a quiet, mature character. Young families and starters are present, but less dominant than in newer neighbourhoods elsewhere in the municipality.
