Rental homes in Oene, Epe

Renting in Oene: a small private sector in a village with high property values

Oene is a village where buying is the norm. Of the 632 homes, only 24% are in the rental sector, and three-quarters of homes are owner-occupied. The private sector is even smaller within that: housing associations manage around 12% of the stock, while other landlords account for 13%. So anyone looking for a rental home in Oene outside the social housing sector has little choice. In the past twelve months, only 2 homes were rented in the private sector, with an average rent of €1,429 per month and a range of €1,208 to €1,650 per month. The average floor area was 109 m². These figures are for the private sector, excluding social housing. The property value (WOZ) of homes in Oene is €515,000, well above the municipal average of €439,000 for Epe. That says something about the character of the village: it is not a cheap fallback option, but a sought-after spot on the Veluwe. See the current supply and average rent at the top of this page.

Oene: small village, great satisfaction

People who live in Oene are usually very happy with it. Based on resident reviews, the village scores 9.2 out of 10, and that is no coincidence. Residents give a 10 for safety, community, green spaces and education. Accessibility scores a 9, and only housing and amenities score slightly lower with an 8. That lower score for housing is understandable: the supply of rental homes in Oene is simply limited.

One resident describes the village as follows: "Nice neighbourhood with nice people, basic necessities are nearby even though Oene is a small village. Lots of nature nearby where it is lovely to spend time." That sums it up well. Oene is not a village with a bustling centre or extensive shopping options, but basic amenities are present and nature literally starts around the corner. The Veluwe is not an hour's drive away, but your living environment. If you want to walk or cycle, you just step outside.

The village consists of a core and an extensive rural area. In the core of Oene you live close to communal amenities, while in the rural area of Oene you find more space and tranquillity, but you are also more dependent on the car. The largest age group in Oene is 45 to 65 years (475 residents), followed by those aged 65 and over (390 residents). That gives the village a quiet, mature atmosphere.
