Renting in Roermond: between Maasplassen, outlet and Limburg city life
Roermond is a city where you can smell the Maas as you cycle through the centre, where the Designer Outlet attracts millions of visitors annually and where the Maasplassen turn into a kind of inland Riviera in summer. This combination makes the rental market here different from many other Limburg municipalities. Of the more than 29,000 homes in Roermond, 46% are rental properties. About 30% of the total housing stock is owned by housing corporations (such as Wonen Limburg), while 16% is rented out by private and commercial landlords. That free sector is the market where you can find something fastest without years of waiting time.
In the free sector, the average rent over the past year was €1,213 per month, with a range from €441 to €5,500. That upper limit sounds extreme, but those are the large detached homes near the Maasplassen. The average surface area of rented homes was 179 m², indicating that there are relatively many spacious family homes in the supply. In total, 457 homes were rented out in the free sector. Check the top of this page for the current daily price and current supply. Roermond benefits in terms of accessibility from Roermond station (intercity connection to Eindhoven, Maastricht and towards Venlo) and its location on the A2 and A73. This also makes the city attractive for commuters to Eindhoven or even Düsseldorf, which is an hour's drive away.
The neighbourhoods of Roermond: where do you want to live?
Roermond is compact enough to cycle anywhere within ten minutes, but the neighbourhoods each have their own character. On the municipality page of Roermond you can find all resident reviews, but below is an overview of the most important districts for renters.
Centrum: lively living among terraces and monuments
The centre of Roermond scores a 9.1 from residents. That is the highest score of all neighbourhoods. Here you live among the Munsterkerk, the Markt and the shopping streets. The supply mainly consists of apartments above shops and in converted buildings. Renting an apartment in Roermond-centrum means you have everything within walking distance: from the Jumbo City to the Carolus Borromeus College. The downside: parking is expensive and difficult, and on late-night shopping evenings and Saturdays it is busy with shoppers.
Roermond-Zuid: highly rated and green
Roermond-Zuid gets a 9.0 from residents. This neighbourhood lies between the centre and the Maasplassen and has a mix of terraced houses, semi-detached houses and newer apartments. Stadspark and Maasoeverpark are just around the corner. Families appreciate the proximity of schools and the quiet streets, while you are in the centre by bike in five minutes.
Asenray and Hoogvonderen: village living within the municipality
Those who prefer a bit more space and peace will end up in Asenray (neighbourhood score 8.9) or Hoogvonderen (8.8). Asenray is a former church village on the edge of the municipality, with its own sense of community. Hoogvonderen lies on the north side and offers relatively affordable rental homes in a green environment. A resident of Hoogvonderen calls the neighbourhood "quiet and green, with good connections to the centre."
Further south lies Maasniel, which with five reviews comes out at an 8.2. This former village has its own centre with a baker, hairdresser and an active community. Swalmen (7.9) and Herten (7.9) are similar village cores that have belonged to Roermond since the municipal reorganisation. They offer more space for your money, but you are more dependent on the car.
Not every neighbourhood scores equally high. Donderberg comes out at a 5.8 from residents, the lowest score in Roermond. This post-war neighbourhood has many social housing units and struggles with a less strong image. Investment is being made in renewal, but if you go to look, take a walk around yourself to see if it suits you. Roermond-Oost scores a 6.9, which is also below the municipal average of 7.8.
Who is a rental home in Roermond suitable for?
Roermond attracts a diverse range of renters. The city has a large hospital (Laurentius), the Designer Outlet and various logistics companies in the region, which ensures a steady demand from employees who want to live here temporarily or permanently. With an average income of €34,700 and a labour participation rate of 62%, Roermond is not a wealthy municipality, and you notice that in the rental market: there is strong competition in the mid-range between €800 and €1,200.
For starters and singles (the largest household group with 12,338 single-person households), it is wise to respond quickly to new homes and have your documents ready: employer's statement, payslips and a copy of your ID. If you want social housing, register with Wonen Limburg via the website of the municipality of Roermond for more information about local housing rules and urgency schemes. Waiting times for social housing are also long here, so expect several years.
Families with children find good facilities in Roermond: the score for education is 8.0 and there are primary schools in almost every neighbourhood. Are you looking for more space and also considering buying? Then check the supply of homes for sale in Roermond, because with an average WOZ value of €289,000, buying here is still relatively affordable compared to the Randstad. For those who do not necessarily need Roermond: rental prices in neighbouring municipalities such as Beesel or Echt-Susteren are often lower, with Roermond within cycling distance.

Quietly situated in nature on a dead-end road. Good accessibility to the city and motorway and all amenities. All types of schools within very short cycling distance.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a quiet neighbourhood with lots of greenery, but it could be even more for my liking. As a newcomer, I have to make an effort to have a "good day". The greenery is very well maintained! The dog toilets too. Chapeau. I miss benches and picnic spots. There are many people walking dogs and there are nice shady spots, but you can't sit anywhere to chat.
Auto-translated to English by AIcosy neighbourhood with lovely people, of course there is always someone who is less friendly, but in general I am very satisfied
Auto-translated to English by AIIt is very unsafe in the neighbourhood, many street youths/men, weed smell throughout the neighbourhood in the evenings and during the day. Music nuisance, parties. And a lot of nuisance from illegal motorbikes and so on, police never seen passing by or checking in the street.
Auto-translated to English by AIWe have a nice neighbourhood with many friendly people. When something is going on, almost everyone from the neighbourhood is present, and that is very cosy. We have few amenities in the neighbourhood in terms of shops, but we do have a childcare centre, a football club, a carnival association, several riding schools, the campsite/restaurant Het Spikkerdal, and a few small farms nearby. For amenities like shops or other things, you have to go to Roermond, but that's not a problem because it's about a quarter of an hour away by car or bike. All in all, it's a fun and cosy neighbourhood with a pleasant atmosphere among the residents and many enjoyable activities in this neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AIThis neighbourhood is quiet and you don't have any trouble with the neighbours around you, and the neighbours are also helpful when you need them.
