Renting in Stroe: a small market with little private sector
Stroe has traditionally been an owner-occupied neighbourhood. Of the 590 homes in this village, only 20% are in the rental sector, amounting to approximately 118 homes. Housing association homes account for 8% of the total stock, with the remaining 12% in the hands of private landlords. This makes the supply of rental homes in Stroe limited, and the private sector is especially scarce. The average WOZ value is €482,000, well above the municipal average of €434,000 for Barneveld. This higher price level is reflected in the rental market: anyone looking for a rental home here typically pays more than elsewhere in the municipality. For the current average rent and the current supply, you can refer to the overview at the top of this page, which is updated daily. Those seeking more space outside the village itself can also look at Buitengebied Stroe, where detached rental homes are sometimes available.
Stroe: a village where you still know each other
Stroe is not an anonymous residential area. With over 1,700 residents, it is a village where people know each other, where children play outside, and where the church still plays a role in social life. The atmosphere is traditional and quiet, the housing stock largely consists of spacious family homes, and the surroundings are green. This appeals to residents, but it also demands something of you as a newcomer: you stand out, and it takes a while before you truly fit in.
On the neighbourhood page of Stroe you will find resident experiences and scores per category. Residents appreciate the peace and safety of the village and cite the green surroundings as a major plus point. A recurring point of criticism is the limited accessibility: Stroe has no train station and bus connections are sparse. Anyone without a car quickly notices this. One resident aptly describes it: "You live here wonderfully quietly, but for everything you need, you get in the car." Supermarkets, secondary schools, and hospitals can be found in Barneveld or Voorthuizen, a five to ten minute drive away.
The population is relatively old: the largest group is between 45 and 65 years old. Families with children are the most common household type, and nearly half of the residents are married. That says something about the character of the village. It is not a place for students or young starters looking for a lively life; it is a place for people seeking peace and willing to sacrifice some amenities for it. Those who combine village cosiness with an active social life will feel at home here. Those who need anonymity or urban vibrancy would be better off looking at the centre of Barneveld or the slightly livelier surroundings of Voorthuizen.
Renting in Stroe: for families and peace seekers, less so for starters without a car
Renting in Stroe is most suitable for families looking for space, peace, and a safe living environment, and who are mobile with their own car. The limited social housing stock makes it difficult for starters on a low income to find a home quickly here. Those who want to rent flexibly in the private sector and are considering renting an apartment in Stroe must reckon with a tight market. As an alternative, it is worth also looking at homes for sale in Stroe, because 80% of the housing stock is owner-occupied and that supply is much larger. Kootwijkerbroek or Garderen can also be interesting alternatives for those who want to live in a village with a bit more choice.
