Renting in Tubbergen: a rural municipality with limited but spacious supply
The municipality of Tubbergen is a clear home-owning community. As much as 72% of the housing stock is owner-occupied, and only 28% is rental housing. Of those rental homes, 12% are owned by housing associations (social housing) and 16% are rented out by private and other landlords. This means that the supply in the private sector is relatively small. In the past twelve months, only 13 rental homes in the private sector have been rented out, at an average rent of €1,336 per month. The range ran from €995 to €2,750 per month, with an average floor area of 181 m². So these are often spacious homes, not small apartments. Those looking for the current daily price and current supply can consult the overview at the top of this page.
Tubbergen is located in the northeast of Twente, near the German border. The municipality has around 21,400 inhabitants, spread over thirteen villages. It is a green, rural environment where community spirit is strong. Labour participation is above average at 72% and the average income is €34,600. There is no train station in the municipality itself, but via the N36 and N343, cities such as Almelo and Enschede are reachable within 20 to 30 minutes by car. For those dependent on public transport, this is a real point of attention.
From Fleringen to Geesteren: the villages of Tubbergen and their character
The municipality of Tubbergen does not consist of one village but a patchwork of small villages, each with its own identity. Below is an overview of the most relevant neighbourhoods for tenants, including neighbourhood scores from residents.
Fleringen, close-knit and green
Fleringen is a small village south of Tubbergen that has the highest neighbourhood score in the municipality with a 9.1 out of 10. Residents particularly appreciate the greenery, safety and mutual connectedness. It is a typical Twente farming village where everyone knows each other. For families seeking peace and space, Fleringen is a logical choice, although the rental supply there is very limited. Amenities such as supermarkets can be found in the village of Tubbergen itself.
Geesteren, village-like with amenities
Geesteren scores an 8.4 from residents and is one of the larger villages. The village has its own supermarket, primary school and sports clubs. Residents cite accessibility and the green character as strong points. The score for amenities (7.0 on average in the municipality) reflects that for larger shopping trips or specialist shops you still have to go to Almelo or Oldenzaal. Nevertheless, Geesteren offers more daily amenities than many other villages in the municipality.
The village of Tubbergen itself is the main village and has the most amenities: a compact shopping centre, GPs, schools for primary and secondary education, and hospitality. Those looking for a rental home with the shortest distance to shops and schools should look here first. Other villages such as Albergen, Vasse and Langeveen are smaller and quieter, but each has its own community centre and club life. In Mariaparochie and Reutum, mainly families and elderly people seeking peace live.
The overall resident rating of the municipality stands at 8.8 out of 10. Notably high subscores are accessibility (9.5), greenery (9.5) and beauty (9.5). The score for amenities (7.0) is the lowest, which is logical for a rural municipality. One resident describes it aptly: the surroundings are beautifully clean and green, but for a night out or extensive shopping you drive to the city.

Who is renting a home in Tubbergen suitable for?
Renting in Tubbergen best suits people who consciously choose the countryside. The largest group of households consists of families with children (3,492 households), and you can tell from the character of the municipality: club life, primary schools in almost every village, and plenty of space to play outside. For those aged 65 and over who want to downsize without leaving the region, a rental home in Tubbergen could also be interesting.
First-time buyers and single people honestly have to search hard. The supply is small, the average floor area of 181 m² indicates larger homes, and renting an apartment in Tubbergen is not easy due to the limited number of multi-family homes. Those looking for something quickly would do well to also register with housing association Welbions and to look more broadly, for example at the municipality of Dinkelland or the larger supply in Deventer.

Cosy and beautiful
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's really nice to live in Geesteren. It's a cosy neighbourhood where everyone knows each other. You greet each other when you meet. There are also plenty of opportunities for sports (football, handball, tennis, dancing, etc.). A bus runs every half hour, so that's handy. There are parties now and then, but no (serious) noise nuisance, because a party in its time is fine in my opinion. The neighbours often announce that they're having a party, so you're aware of it.
