Renting in Schiekamp: a modest private sector in a housing association neighbourhood
Of the 1,716 homes in Schiekamp, 45% are rented out, clearly positioning the neighbourhood as a rental area. A large proportion of those rental homes are owned by housing associations (26%), while private landlords account for around 19%. The private sector is therefore relatively small. Over the past twelve months, only 6 homes were rented out in the private sector, with an average rent of €935 per month and a range of €595 to €1,097 per month. The average floor area was 50m². These are annual averages for the private sector, excluding social housing. The WOZ value in Schiekamp is €214,000, which is clearly lower than the municipal average of €279,000 for Nissewaard. That price difference also translates to the rental market: renting in Schiekamp is relatively affordable, but supply in the private sector is scarce.

Schiekamp from the inside: quiet, green and with its own rhythm
Schiekamp is not a neighbourhood that stands out for its hustle and bustle or glamour, but rather for a certain tranquillity. The neighbourhood is built around green strips and porch flats dating from the 1960s and 1970s. Residents describe it on the Schiekamp neighbourhood page as a place where you still know each other: "You greet your neighbours, children play outside, it feels safe." At the same time, there is also criticism: the level of amenities is limited, and those used to a lively city centre will miss that here. For daily shopping, residents rely on nearby shopping centres, and accessibility by public transport is rated as mediocre by some residents.
The population structure presents a mixed picture. The largest group consists of 25- to 45-year-olds (over 1,000 of the 3,175 residents), but the 65-plus age group is also well represented with 610 people. Single-person households are the most common (815 units), making the neighbourhood attractive for singles looking for affordable rentals. Families also live here, although the proportion of married households at 31% is not high. The average income of €34,700 is slightly below the municipal average, which fits the character of a neighbourhood with many housing association rentals and modest purchasing power.
The neighbourhood is divided into two areas, each with its own character. Schiekamp-Noord has slightly more greenery and a quieter streetscape, while Schiekamp-Zuid is somewhat more densely built and closer to amenities. Anyone seriously considering looking for a rental home here would do well to read the reviews per area and see which atmosphere suits them best.
Does Schiekamp suit you as a tenant, or are you looking for something else?
Schiekamp is most suitable for singles and starters who want to rent affordably and have no need for a bustling environment. It is also relevant for people looking for a social rental home, although that requires a waiting period via the housing association. Those considering renting an apartment in Schiekamp in the private sector should be aware of limited supply. Tenants looking for a more urban lifestyle could also consider the offerings in the Centre of Nissewaard or the nearby neighbourhood Hoogwerf. Considering buying instead of renting? Then check the listings for homes for sale in Schiekamp as an alternative, as 55% of the housing stock is owner-occupied.
