Rental homes in Schelle, Zwolle

What does a rental property cost in Schelle? Spacious homes, limited supply

Schelle is a neighbourhood where most people own their homes. Only 28% of the more than 6,000 homes are rental properties, and the majority of these (23% of the total) are owned by housing associations.

The average rent was €1,426 per month, with a range from €579 to €2,800. Notably, the average floor area is 176 m², indicating that these are mainly spacious single-family homes and larger apartments. So if you want to rent an apartment in Schelle, patience is essential.

Comparing Schelle with the rest of Zwolle, it is striking that the WOZ value here is considerably higher: €411,000 compared to the municipal average of €344,000.
