Rental homes in Twello-Midden, Voorst

Rental prices and market figures in Twello-Midden, Voorst

Of the more than 2,635 homes in Twello-Midden, 44% are in the rental sector, which is relatively high for a Gelderse village centre. The vast majority of these are owned by housing corporations: 40% of all homes are owned by a housing corporation, while only 4% are with other (private) landlords. The free sector is therefore limited in size.

In the free sector (excluding social housing), five homes were rented out in the past twelve months at an average rent of €1,127 per month. The range ran from €400 to €1,475 per month. Because the number of transactions is small, individual homes can strongly influence the averages. At the top of this page, view the current rental prices of the current supply.

The average WOZ value in Twello-Midden is €377,000. This is noticeably lower than the average in the broader district Twello-Nijbroek (€423,000) and also below the municipal average of Voorst (€431,000). Twello-Midden is thus one of the more affordable parts of the municipality, which is partly explained by the higher concentration of corporation homes and the generally older housing stock.

Living in Twello-Midden, Voorst

Twello-Midden is the heart of the village of Twello, the largest core of the municipality Voorst. The neighbourhood has a distinct village character: no big-city hustle and bustle, but certainly no sleepy hamlet. The centre of Twello lies in this neighbourhood, with the Dorpsstraat as a recognisable axis. The buildings largely consist of homes from the 1950s to 1970s, with a mix of terraced houses, semi-detached houses and a limited number of apartment blocks. New construction is scarce here; the neighbourhood has an established, sometimes somewhat dated streetscape.

The population composition tells a clear story: the largest age group consists of those aged 65 and over (nearly 1,860 of the more than 5,380 residents). Single-person households, with over 1,025, are the most common household type. Twello-Midden is thus a neighbourhood where the elderly and singles leave a strong mark on the atmosphere. Quiet, orderly and with a certain social cohesion are words residents often use.

Does renting in Twello-Midden suit you as a tenant?

Twello-Midden is most suitable for people who appreciate peace and quiet and who use the train connection as a lifeline to the city. Seniors and singles find relatively many suitable options here, partly thanks to the large share of corporation homes. For starters looking for an affordable rental home, social housing via the corporation is the most realistic route, but expect a waiting list. The free sector supply is small: only five homes came up for rent in the free sector in the past twelve months. Reacting quickly to available rental homes is therefore no luxury. Make sure your income statement, employer's statement and ID are ready. Families with children who seek a lot of dynamism and urban amenities may find Twello-Midden too quiet. Renting an apartment in Twello-Midden in the free sector is possible, but the supply varies greatly. At the top of the page, see which homes are currently for rent.
