Rental homes in Steenenkamer, Voorst

Rental prices and market figures for Steenenkamer, Voorst

Steenenkamer is a pronounced owner-occupied neighbourhood: only 3% of the 117 homes are for rent, and there is no housing association property. All rental homes in Steenenkamer are therefore in the free sector, so social housing is not available here. Over the past twelve months, four free-sector rental homes were let, with an average rent of €2,000 per month (excluding social housing). The range was €2,000 to €2,000 per month, indicating that supply is limited and homogeneous. A price per m² cannot be calculated due to missing surface area data, but the price range is clear: renting in Steenenkamer is considerably more expensive than the average in the broader district Twello-Nijbroek or the municipality as a whole. The average WOZ value of homes in Steenenkamer is €532,000, compared to €423,000 in the district and €431,000 in the municipality of Voorst. That price level is directly reflected in the rental prices. Anyone looking for a rental home in Steenenkamer should expect the higher segment of the free sector.

Living in Steenenkamer, Voorst

Steenenkamer is a small, rural neighbourhood in the municipality of Voorst, located in the Gelderland IJssel valley between Twello and the IJssel. With only 270 residents, the neighbourhood feels more like a hamlet than a residential area: scattered buildings, lots of greenery, spacious plots and little traffic. The housing stock consists almost exclusively of detached owner-occupied homes and larger semi-detached homes, largely built in the 1970s and 1980s, but also with newer properties. The average WOZ value of €532,000 says enough: this is not a neighbourhood for starters looking for an affordable rental home, but for people who consciously choose peace, space and a green environment.

The population is relatively old: the largest age group is 45 to 65 years (90 people), followed by those aged 65 and over (85 people). Families with young children are in the minority. Most households are without children and 52% are married. The average income level of €41,300 is clearly above the municipal average of €37,000, and the labour participation rate (65%) and the proportion of highly educated people (50%) are also high.

Facilities in and around Steenenkamer

Steenenkamer itself has no shops, schools or catering facilities. That is the downside of its rural character. For daily groceries you drive to Twello, a few kilometres away, where you will find an Albert Heijn and a Jumbo, among others. Primary schools are also in Twello, as well as a GP practice and pharmacy. For sports, you can go to the football clubs and tennis clubs in Twello, and the area is excellent for running and cycling along the IJssel and through the floodplains. Nature is literally on your doorstep.

Accessibility of Steenenkamer

Via the A1 and A50 you are quickly on the main road network. Public transport is more limited: the nearest bus stops are in Twello, from where bus services run towards Deventer and Apeldoorn. Deventer station is the nearest train station, about a ten-minute drive away. Cyclists have access to well-maintained cycle paths along the provincial roads and through the countryside. Parking is no problem at all: in this rural area there is plenty of space and permits are not applicable.

Residents of Steenenkamer particularly appreciate the peace and space. On the neighbourhood page of Steenenkamer you can read what people specifically say about living here. One resident describes it as: "You really live out here, but Twello and Deventer are so accessible that you don't miss out on anything." Criticisms usually concern the dependence on the car and the limited supply of rental homes in Steenenkamer. Compared to neighbourhood communities such as Nijbroek or Terwolde, Steenenkamer is even quieter and more exclusive in character, with higher WOZ values and virtually no rental homes available in the social segment.

Does renting in Steenenkamer suit you as a tenant?

Steenenkamer is not a neighbourhood for everyone who wants to rent a home. The supply of available rental homes is scarce, rental prices are around €2,000 per month in the free sector, and social housing does not exist here. The neighbourhood best suits people who consciously choose rural living with space and privacy, who are not dependent on public transport, and who are willing to pay a higher rent for that peace. Families with school-age children or people who need facilities within walking distance on a daily basis are probably better off in Twello-Midden or Twello-Noord, where the level of facilities is higher. Anyone considering renting an apartment in Steenenkamer or a detached rental home would do well to respond quickly as soon as something becomes available: supply is minimal and homes are usually snapped up quickly. Prepare your documents (payslips, employer's statement) and keep an eye on the page. As an alternative, the owner-occupied homes in Steenenkamer are an option for those who really want to live here and have the financial means.
