Renting in Pesse: a tight private sector in a owner-occupied dominated village
Pesse is fundamentally an owner-occupied neighbourhood. Of the 858 homes, 78% are owner-occupied, and only 22% are in the rental sector. This makes rental properties in Pesse scarce, especially in the private sector. The housing association stock (14%) is held by housing associations active in the Hoogeveen region; other landlords account for the remaining 8%. Based on private sector data from the past twelve months, one property was rented out, for a rent of €750 per month. This gives an initial indication, but due to the small number, it says little about the broader market level. Check the current supply and the most recent average rent at the top of this page. The WOZ value in Pesse is €322,000, significantly higher than the municipal average of €256,000 for Hoogeveen as a whole. This reflects the green, spacious homes in this village and its appeal to buyers, but it also doesn't make finding a rental home in Pesse cheap.
Pesse: a village for those who truly mean peace and quiet
Pesse is not a neighbourhood on the edge of Hoogeveen that happens to bear a village name. It is an independent village with its own character, surrounded by peat and forest, about five kilometres from the centre of Hoogeveen. Those who live here consciously choose space and tranquillity. This is also reflected in the population composition: the largest group of residents is between 45 and 65 years old (530 people), followed by those aged 65 and over (525). Young families and first-time buyers are present, but in the minority.
On the neighbourhood page for Pesse you will find resident experiences and scores per category. Residents value the peace and green surroundings above all else. A recurring theme in the reviews is social cohesion: people know each other, there is an active club life, and you leave your door open. At the same time, there is criticism of the limited daily amenities. There is no supermarket or pharmacy in the village itself, and those without a car quickly notice this. The bus runs, but not frequently.
The village is divided into several areas. Pesse kern is the central part with the most buildings, while Verspreide huizen Pesse-Oost and Verspreide huizen Pesse-West are even more rural in character. In these outlying areas, people live on large plots, sometimes with an agricultural background. Renting in Pesse in most cases means you end up in or near the centre, as supply outside that area is minimal.
Pesse suits you if you have a car, seek peace and quiet, and are not dependent on urban amenities
Renting in Pesse is most suitable for people who consciously choose a rural living environment, have their own transport, and do not need amenities within walking distance on a daily basis. Families with school-age children can live here perfectly well, but secondary school and larger shops are in Hoogeveen. For first-time buyers or young people looking for an apartment to rent in Pesse or who need city life, the supply is limited and the distance to amenities is a real disadvantage. In that case, also consider owner-occupied homes in Pesse as an option, or look at rental properties closer to the centre. The average income in Pesse (€32,200) is slightly above the municipal average, which also characterises the village living environment in terms of resident profile.

Is Pesse suitable for renting if you don't have a car?
That is difficult. Pesse has no supermarket or pharmacy in the village itself, and the bus connection to Hoogeveen is limited. Residents indicate in reviews that a car is almost indispensable. Those who depend on public transport are better off in the centre of Hoogeveen or a neighbourhood with better connections.
Are there apartments for rent in Pesse?
The supply of apartments for rent in Pesse is very limited. The housing stock mainly consists of ground-based homes, fitting the rural character of the village. Those specifically looking for an apartment have more choice in the centres of Hoogeveen or in neighbourhoods such as De Weide.
What are the energy costs for a rental home in Pesse?
The average energy consumption in Pesse is 2,960 kWh of electricity and 1,370 m³ of gas per year. That gas consumption is relatively high, which is related to the older and often detached home types in this village. When renting, always ask for the energy label of the home, as it directly affects your monthly housing costs.
