Rental homes in Nunspeet

Renting a home in Nunspeet: between forest and rental market

Nunspeet is a municipality where owner-occupied housing dominates. About 65% of the more than 11,400 homes are owner-occupied, while 34% are rental properties. Of that rental stock, around 23% is owned by housing associations and 12% by other landlords. This means the private rental market is relatively small. In the past twelve months, only 16 homes were rented out in the private sector, with an average rent of €974 per month. The range runs from €750 to €1,450 per month, with an average floor area of 81 m². For a municipality of this size, that is on the tight side, so quick action is important.

The municipality does not have a major train station with intercity connections, but via Nunspeet station (Valleilijn) you can reach Apeldoorn in just under half an hour, making accessibility acceptable for commuters.

Neighbourhoods in Nunspeet: village character with green surroundings

The municipality of Nunspeet consists of a handful of villages and neighbourhoods, each with its own atmosphere. With an overall resident rating of 8.2 out of 10, the municipality scores well, and especially on green spaces (9.0) and beauty (8.6) the figures stand out. Below is an overview of the main residential areas.

Nunspeet, the heart of the municipality

The town of Nunspeet is by far the largest residential area and the centre of amenities. Here you will find shops along Stationsstraat, supermarkets, GPs, primary schools and the station. Residents give this neighbourhood an 8.2 based on 9 reviews. The atmosphere is village-like but not remote: you have everything within walking distance and the Nunspeet forest literally begins at the edge of the village. Most private rental supply is concentrated here, from apartments above shops to terraced houses in the newer expansion areas towards the south. One resident describes it as "a nice place where you have nature around the corner, but can also do your shopping without getting in the car." For families with children, education is well organised, although that category scores slightly lower at 7.9.

Elspeet-Vierhouten, peace and space on the Veluwe

South of the town of Nunspeet lie the villages of Elspeet and Vierhouten, in the middle of the Veluwe. This neighbourhood also scores an 8.2 from residents, based on 3 reviews. Elspeet is a close-knit village with a traditional character and a strong sense of community. Vierhouten is smaller and nestled between forests, popular with people who consciously choose quiet. The rental supply here is minimal: if a rental home does become available, it is usually through private landlords. Anyone wanting to live here needs patience and local networks. Amenities are more limited than in the town centre; for major shopping you rely on Nunspeet or Apeldoorn.

What stands out across the entire municipality is the high score for green spaces and beauty. That is no surprise: the Veluwe is the backyard. The Nunspeet forest, the heathlands and the border lakes offer space you won't find in a city like Arnhem. At the same time, the range of dining, culture and nightlife is limited. Nunspeet is not a place for those seeking a vibrant city life. The community score of 8.0 confirms that social life here revolves around clubs, churches and neighbourhood events. On the page about Nunspeet you can read all resident reviews and sub-scores per category.

Who is renting in Nunspeet suitable for?

Renting in Nunspeet best suits a specific type of tenant. Families looking for peace, nature and a safe environment (safety score: 8.2) are well placed here. The labour participation rate of 68% and the family profile of the municipality confirm this: this is a place where people consciously choose to raise children. Seniors aged 55+ who want to downsize and appreciate the Veluwe will also find opportunities, although supply is limited.

For starters and young people, Nunspeet is more difficult. The private sector supply is small and renting an apartment in Nunspeet quickly costs around €900 to €1,000 per month. Social housing through the housing association has long waiting times. Those wanting more choice can also look at the rental market in Barneveld or the larger supply in Apeldoorn. Considering buying instead? Then check out the homes for sale in Nunspeet, because with an average WOZ value of €396,000 and current mortgage rates, buying could work out cheaper in the long run. On the website of the municipality of Nunspeet you will find information about registering with housing associations and local regulations. Prepare your documents (income statement, employer's statement) in advance, because with the few homes that become available, things move quickly.
