Rental homes in Schaesberg, Landgraaf

What does a rental property cost in Schaesberg?

Schaesberg has a housing stock of over 7,700 homes, 38% of which are rental properties. This is a mix of housing association properties (28% of all homes) and private sector (around 10%). The social rental market is mainly served by housing associations, but waiting times in South Limburg are long. In the private sector, 26 homes have been rented out over the past twelve months at an average rent of €1,150 per month, with a range of €625 to €1,975. The average floor area was 134 m², which is quite spacious for that price level. For comparison, the average WOZ value in Schaesberg is €247,000, almost equal to the municipal average of €249,000 in Landgraaf. This limited difference is also reflected in rental prices: Schaesberg hardly deviates from the rest of the municipality. Check the current rent and time on market at the top of this page.

Schaesberg according to the people who live there

On Buurtje.nl, residents rate Schaesberg an 8.7 out of 10, based on five reviews. Housing (9.2) and education (9.2) score notably high, followed by accessibility (9.0). The latter is no surprise: Schaesberg is close to the A76 and has bus connections to Heerlen and Kerkrade. Those travelling by public transport change in Heerlen for trains to Maastricht or Sittard. Safety is rated 8.8 and the greenery in the neighbourhood scores 8.6. Resident Bassie gives the neighbourhood a 10 and writes: "I grew up here, so this is where I feel at home." That sense of connection is often heard from people who have lived in Schaesberg for a long time.

However, there are also critical voices. Parking is a recurring theme. Hennie (8.3/10) notes that there are too few parking spaces and that some families have more cars than there is room for. Manal Barazi (8.2/10) confirms this: "Many cars park around the square and at the entrance of the flat, which makes the street space very tight." She also advocates for more trees near the seating areas to provide shade in summer. These are not major problems, but if you want to rent an apartment in one of the flats around the centre, it is good to know that parking pressure is an issue there.

In terms of amenities, Schaesberg has its own shopping centre for daily groceries, a GP, pharmacy and primary schools. The neighbourhood has different faces: from the more compact homes around the Centre to the more spacious areas such as Gravenrode and Leenhof, where you find more single-family homes with gardens. Those who prefer a more urban feel can look at Kakert or Mijnbuurt. Recreation is nearby: Snowworld and the Megaland site are within cycling distance, and the Brunssummerheide nature reserve almost borders the neighbourhood. The municipality of Landgraaf has been investing in public spaces in recent years, although residents feel the pace could sometimes be faster.

Does Schaesberg suit you as a tenant?

With an average income of €33,100 and a labour participation rate of 57%, Schaesberg is not a neighbourhood of dual-income high earners. The private sector rents (average €1,150) are therefore already at the upper end for some current residents. If you are a single-person household with a modal income, you are more likely to qualify for a housing association home, but expect a waiting period. Starters and young families looking for a rental home with more space than in Heerlen often find more square metres for their money here. The neighbourhood is less suitable if you rely on a vibrant nightlife or an intercity station around the corner. Considering buying instead of renting? Then check the supply of homes for sale in Schaesberg, because with a WOZ value around €247,000, entry prices are relatively low for South Limburg.
