Renting in Oosterbeek Zuidoost: a tight market with high averages
Oosterbeek Zuidoost has traditionally been an owner-occupied neighbourhood. Only 27% of the more than 2,400 homes are rented out, and the majority of these are in the private sector: 17% are owned by private landlords, while only 10% are housing association properties. So anyone looking for a rental home here has limited choice, especially in the social housing sector. The average WOZ value of €478,000 is well above the municipal average of €403,000 for Renkum, which explains the higher rents.
In the private sector (excluding social housing and rooms), an average of 20 homes per year have been rented out over the past twelve months, with an average rent of €1,402 per month and an average floor area of 170 m². The range runs from €550 to €2,500 per month, indicating that the supply varies widely. For current rents and availability, you can consult the overview at the top of this page.
Oosterbeek Zuidoost: quiet and green, but not for everyone
If you ask residents what it's like to live in Oosterbeek Zuidoost, you get a consistent picture: quiet, green and safe, with strong social cohesion. On the neighbourhood page for Oosterbeek Zuidoost, there is a resident score of 6.8 out of 10, based on reviews from people who actually live there. Resident Flor Jans describes the atmosphere in Nieuwland as follows: the neighbourhood feels quiet and pleasant, the surroundings are green and well-maintained, and there is a strong sense of safety. The friendliness of neighbours is explicitly mentioned.
That score of 6.8 does hide some nuance. Community spirit scores relatively high at 7.5, as do education (8.0) and safety (7.0). But green space scores notably low at 5.5, which may sound surprising for a neighbourhood that residents themselves describe as green. Amenities score 6.0, which makes sense given that the neighbourhood does not have an extensive shopping centre. For daily groceries, you rely on nearby facilities outside the neighbourhood. Accessibility scores 7.0, partly thanks to its location relative to Arnhem and the presence of bus connections.
Oosterbeek Zuidoost consists of several sub-neighbourhoods, each with its own character. Nieuwland is described by residents as the most accessible and social neighbourhood. If you are looking for a quieter, more rural character, you could also look at Klingelbeek or Oosterbeekse Waarden. The neighbourhoods Bato's Wijk and Stenenkruis are more integrated into the existing fabric of the neighbourhood and generally attract an older resident group. The largest age group in the neighbourhood as a whole is 45 to 65 years old, with also a substantial group of over-65s. That colours the atmosphere: it is not a neighbourhood buzzing with young families or students.
