Renting in Oegstgeest Noord: limited supply, but spacious homes at a hefty price

The rental market in Oegstgeest Noord is relatively small. Of the 2,683 homes in the neighbourhood, 32% are rented out, the vast majority (27%) of which are owned by housing associations. Private sector rental homes are scarce: in the past year, only 7 private sector homes were rented out, with an average rent of €1,836 per month and an average floor area of 131 m². The range runs from €950 to €3,250 per month. These are not cheap homes, but they are also not as expensive as the municipal average suggests: the WOZ value in Oegstgeest Noord is €491,000, clearly below the municipal average of €563,000 for Oegstgeest as a whole. So the private sector supply is limited and pricey, but slightly more accessible than in other parts of the municipality.
