Rental homes in Ruurlo, Berkelland

Renting in Ruurlo: a small market with solid property values

Of all homes in Ruurlo, only 25% are in the rental sector. That is relatively low, especially compared to larger towns in the region. The majority of rental properties are owned by a housing association (18%), while private and other landlords account for about 7%. So if you are looking for a rental home in Ruurlo outside the social sector, the supply in the free sector is limited. The average property value (WOZ) of homes in Ruurlo is €420,000, which is clearly higher than the average for the municipality of Berkelland (€357,000). That says something about the type of housing that predominates here: spacious detached and semi-detached homes in a green environment. For the current average rent and available supply, you can check the overview at the top of this page, which is updated daily.

Quiet village with a close-knit core, but amenities are sparse

Ruurlo is an Achterhoek village where life is slow-paced. For many people, that is exactly the reason to want to live here, but it is fair to say it is not for everyone. Residents give the village a 7.1 on Buurtje.nl, with notably high scores for safety (8.5) and sense of community (8.0). But amenities score a meagre 5.5, and accessibility also remains a point of attention at 6.5.

That picture matches what residents themselves say. Asya writes about a neighbourhood with few amenities and not even a bus shelter, though she emphasises that safety is fine. Ekie Voorburg, on the other hand, describes the village as a nice neighbourhood where residents organise activities a few times a year: "That connects." Those two sides show Ruurlo well: it is a place where people look out for each other, but for daily shopping, public transport or urban amenities you quickly have to leave the village.

The village consists of several neighbourhoods, each with its own character. If you want to live centrally, look at the centre of Ruurlo, where most amenities come together. If you prefer a quieter location on the edge of the village, neighbourhoods like Leusinkbrink or Smidsbrink are worth considering. For those who really want to live rurally, there are also scattered homes in the outlying areas around Ruurlo, such as in Ruurlosche Broek. The population is predominantly older: the largest age group is 45 to 65, and those aged 65 and over are also strongly represented. That colours the atmosphere of the village, but also means that the supply of schools, youth facilities and nightlife is limited.

Renting in Ruurlo: who is this village really for?

Renting in Ruurlo is most suitable for people who consciously choose peace, space and a close-knit village community. Think of couples without children (the largest household group here), seniors who want to live quietly, or people who work in the Achterhoek and have no need for urban hustle and bustle. For young starters or people who depend on public transport, Ruurlo is less obvious: the supply is small and accessibility without a car is limited. If you are unsure between renting and buying, you can also look at the supply of homes for sale in Ruurlo, because 75% of the housing market here consists of owner-occupied homes.
