Rental prices and market figures for Risdam-Zuid - Buurt 20 02, Hoorn

Of the 197 homes in this neighbourhood, 36% are in the rental sector, while the remaining 64% are owner-occupied. Notably, there are no housing association properties: all rental homes are owned by private or commercial landlords. Social housing through a housing association is therefore not available here. This makes it a distinctly free-market neighbourhood within Hoorn.

In the free sector (excluding social housing), one home was rented out in the past twelve months, for a rent of €2,000 per month. That is the only available market reference for rental prices in Risdam-Zuid - Buurt 20 02; a reliable price per m² cannot be calculated because the surface area of that home is not registered. Compared to the average income in the neighbourhood (€39,500 per year, higher than both the district average of €33,800 and the municipal average of €36,000), €2,000 per month is a substantial amount.

The average WOZ value of homes here is €456,000, well above the district average of €304,000 and the Hoorn average of €333,000. This reflects the relatively high-quality housing stock. For current rental prices of available homes, you can refer to the overview at the top of this page.
