Rental homes in Risdam-Noord, Hoorn

Renting in Risdam-Noord: limited private sector supply, but affordable compared to Hoorn

Of the 3,558 homes in Risdam-Noord, 40% are rental properties. The majority of these are owned by a housing association: around 33% of the total housing stock falls under social housing. The private sector is therefore small. In the past twelve months, 15 private sector rental homes were let in the neighbourhood, with an average rent of €1,748 per month and a range of €1,550 to €1,975 per month. The average floor area was 104 m². These are annual averages for the private sector, excluding social housing and rooms. For current rents and availability, please refer to the overview at the top of this page.

The average WOZ value in Risdam-Noord is €281,000, which is clearly lower than the municipal average of €333,000 for Hoorn. This reflects the character of the neighbourhood: predominantly housing association properties, spacious layout, with less speculative purchase prices than in, for example, the Binnenstad or the Venenlaan-kwartier. Anyone looking for a rental home in the private sector must reckon with limited supply and needs to act quickly.

Quiet, green and social: Risdam-Noord through the eyes of residents

Risdam-Noord scores an 8.1 on Buurtje.nl, based on resident experiences. That is not a marketing figure, but an average of people who actually live there. The highest subscores are for community (8.8) and safety (8.5), and this is reflected in the reviews. Sanne gives the neighbourhood a 10 and describes it as a "beautiful, quiet and green neighbourhood" with a social character. Allema, who gives a 7.2, confirms that picture in his own way: "Every year we organise a neighbourhood day." That says more about the atmosphere than any average statistic ever could.

Yet there are also critical notes. Hélène points to the Berkmergouw, a road that has become busier since the Keern was closed. That is a concrete point for those who value peace and quiet: the location of your home within the neighbourhood makes a difference. Allema misses the bus and thinks the park next to the bus lane could be better maintained. The accessibility score of 6.8 is therefore the lowest subscore, and that is honest. Risdam-Noord is not a neighbourhood where you are optimally mobile without a car. Read all resident experiences and neighbourhood data on the neighbourhood page of Risdam-Noord.

The neighbourhood consists of several sub-areas, each with its own character. For example, you can search specifically in Risdam-Noord buurt 21 01 or Risdam-Noord buurt 21 03 if you want to know what is available in a specific part of the neighbourhood. The neighbourhood has 7,855 inhabitants, with the largest group between 25 and 45 years old. Single-person households are the most common (1,385), but 35% of residents are married. It is a mixed neighbourhood, not a pronounced student area nor a typical senior neighbourhood, although there are relatively many over-65s (1,445 people).

Renting in Risdam-Noord: who is this suitable for, and who less so?

Anyone looking for a spacious rental home in a quiet, green environment with a strong neighbourhood culture can seriously consider renting in Risdam-Noord. Families and couples who are not dependent on public transport fit well in the neighbourhood. For people who rely on the bus or train, accessibility is a real drawback. The private sector supply is limited, so anyone wanting to quickly arrange renting an apartment in Risdam-Noord must search actively. Social tenants are dependent on a housing association property, for which a waiting period applies. Considering buying instead of renting? Then check the supply of homes for sale in Risdam-Noord as an alternative.
