Renting in Overdinkel: a small private sector, dominated by housing association ownership
Of the more than 1,800 homes in Overdinkel, 36% are rental properties. The majority of these are owned by a housing association (28%), while only 8% are with other landlords. The private sector is therefore limited in size. Based on the past twelve months, three homes have been rented in the private sector (excluding social housing and rooms), with an average rent of €2,367 per month and a range of €1,500 to €3,250 per month for an average floor area of 100 m². That is substantial, especially given that the average income in Overdinkel is €29,800, well below the municipal average of €33,300 for Losser. The WOZ value of €300,000 is also below the municipal average of €353,000, indicating that Overdinkel is relatively affordable in terms of purchase prices, but the private rental sector tells a different story.

Overdinkel: a village redefining itself, not always for the better
Overdinkel is a village of around 4,100 residents near the German border, in the municipality of Losser. It has the character of a true Twente residential area: quiet, green enough, and with a population that has largely lived in the same place for years. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years old, and almost one in four residents is over 65. Families with children form the largest household group. That says something about the pace of the village: it is not a place for people seeking hustle and bustle.
On the neighbourhood page of Overdinkel, residents give the village an average score of 6.7 out of 10. Safety scores notably high at 8.0, and accessibility (7.3) and education (7.7) are also rated positively. But the community score of 5.7 and the scores for housing and beauty (both 6.0) tell a less rosy story. Resident J.S. is brief but clear: "It could be better, because there is virtually nothing to do." And Irma writes that the neighbourhood is no longer what it was when she moved there fifteen years ago, and that she would actually like to leave but moving is difficult. Another resident mentions litter and nuisance, and cites the accessibility of the Aldi as a specific annoyance. These are not major dramas, but they are signals that the social fabric of the village is under pressure.

The neighbourhood is not what it was when I moved in 15 years ago. I would like to leave, but moving is difficult.
Auto-translated to English by AIMore and more antisocial people are moving in, a shame, the neighbourhood is really going downhill. Often litter. Shops are easily accessible, except for the Aldi, which is a nightmare to get to, and if you want to park your car at the Aldi, they just park on the disabled spots without proof, nothing is done about it, they should really check that. When I moved here it was tidier than now, a shame that a neighbourhood can deteriorate so much. And when I look at the village of De Lutte where I lived, everything is kept better and tidier there, the parks are better maintained, a shame.
