What does a rental property cost in Randenbroek?
Randenbroek is a neighbourhood where the rental market is remarkably large: 53% of the more than 3,600 homes are rental properties. Of these, 41% are owned by housing associations, meaning social housing is strongly represented here. The remaining 12% are rented out by private landlords or investors. In the free sector, the average rent over the past year was €1,549 per month, with a range of €1,127 to €1,900. These prices correspond to relatively spacious homes with an average floor area of 160 m². That is substantial, but the WOZ value in Randenbroek, at €367,000, is well below the Amersfoort average of €432,000. Renting in Randenbroek is therefore proportionally more affordable than in many other neighbourhoods of Amersfoort. Note: only 13 free-sector homes came onto the market last year, so the choice is limited. Check the top of this page for current daily prices and available listings.

Personally, I live in a lovely neighbourhood. Nice neighbours, especially my dear immediate neighbours, an enormous amount of greenery and the first forest 200 metres away. Always well maintained (the greenery too). Parking is easy. I love my neighbourhood
Auto-translated to English by AIMy experiences with this neighbourhood are: It is a fairly quiet neighbourhood. People don't drop by unannounced. On the other hand, we are there for each other. That's the best part! When there's a party, we give proper notice. Personally, I think young people should be allowed to stay young, with e.g. an occasional party with blaring music, that's just part of our youth. The Rijdende Rechter hasn't been necessary here yet. Hopefully it stays that way.
Auto-translated to English by AIYou live a bit to yourself here, but I have good contact with my immediate neighbours. All neighbours greet each other. It's very nice to live here
Auto-translated to English by AImy experience with the neighbourhood is good because I live close to my parents and can walk everywhere
Auto-translated to English by AII think it's a good neighbourhood, only people find my flat hard to find if they've never been there. Good amenities in the area and close to the centre.
