Rental homes in Roer-Zuid, Roermond

Rental prices and market figures for Roer-Zuid, Roermond

Roer-Zuid is predominantly an owner-occupied neighbourhood: 74% of the 911 homes are owned, while 26% are rented out. Of those rental properties, only 5% are owned by a housing association; the remaining 21% fall under private or commercial landlords. Social housing is therefore scarce here.

In the free sector (excluding social housing), an average rent of €987 per month was recorded over the past year, with a range of €932 to €1,028 per month. The average rented property has an area of 81 m², which works out to around €12.20 per m². These are not low prices, but they should be seen in the context of a neighbourhood with an average WOZ value of €425,000. That is significantly higher than the district average for Centrum (€314,000) and the municipal average for Roermond (€289,000). Roer-Zuid is thus one of the more affluent neighbourhoods in the city.

Living in Roer-Zuid, Roermond

Roer-Zuid lies south of Roermond city centre, along the river of the same name, the Roer. The neighbourhood has a quiet, green character that clearly differs from the bustle of Binnenstad or the more urban atmosphere of Voorstad. The housing stock largely consists of detached houses, semi-detached houses and larger terraced houses, built in various periods but with a clear emphasis on post-war expansions from the 1960s and 1970s. There are also more modern homes and small-scale apartment complexes, but it is the spacious plots and relatively low building density that set the tone. This partly explains the high WOZ values and the limited rental percentage: those who live here prefer to buy.

Facilities in Roer-Zuid

The neighbourhood is self-sufficient for daily shopping. Along the Swalmerstraat and in the immediate vicinity you will find supermarkets and small shops for everyday needs. For a wider range of shops, Roermond city centre is a short distance away, including the famous Designer Outlet Roermond. In terms of education, the neighbourhood scores a perfect 10 in resident reviews: several primary schools are accessible within the neighbourhood and the wider area. For sports, there are opportunities at local clubs and along the Roer itself, which invites walking and cycling. The greenery also scores highly (9 out of 10), which matches the image of a neighbourhood with spacious gardens, trees along the streets and proximity to the water.

Accessibility

Roer-Zuid is easily accessible by car via the N280, which connects to the A73 towards Venlo and Nijmegen and the A2 towards Eindhoven and Maastricht. Roermond station is within cycling distance, with direct train services to Venlo, Eindhoven and via Sittard towards Maastricht. Residents give accessibility the highest score: a perfect 10. The neighbourhood is also well connected by bike to the centre, which is about a 10 to 15-minute cycle away. Parking is generally not a problem in Roer-Zuid; most homes have their own driveway or garage, and there is ample street parking.

Does renting in Roer-Zuid suit you?

Roer-Zuid is not the neighbourhood for those looking for cheap rental properties or a vibrant city life. Free sector rents are around €987 per month and supply is limited: only 10 properties were rented out in the free sector over the past year. That means you have to act quickly when something becomes available. The neighbourhood mainly attracts families and people in the 45 to 65 age group, who combine space, tranquillity and good accessibility. The average income of €45,300 and the high labour participation rate of 68% confirm that profile. Starters or students will find little affordable here; for them, rental properties in Centrum or the broader range of rental properties in Roermond are a better starting point. If you do want to buy, you can view the range of homes for sale in Roer-Zuid. For social housing, registration with a housing association is necessary; the association's stock in the neighbourhood is very limited at 5%, so expect long waiting times.

What residents say about Roer-Zuid

Based on resident reviews, Roer-Zuid scores a 9.1 out of 10. The highest sub-scores go to accessibility, beauty, education and facilities, all of which receive a perfect 10. Safety and community each score 8.0, which is still more than adequate but indicates that there may be a little more to be desired in those areas. Resident Robin gives the neighbourhood a 9.1 and writes: "Top neighbourhood, everything is nearby." One review is too few to draw firm conclusions, but the picture is positive.
