Rental homes in Twello-Nijbroek, Voorst

Is the private rental market in Twello-Nijbroek really that spacious?

When you look at the housing market in this region, it immediately stands out that renting is not the norm here. Of the 7,657 homes in Twello-Nijbroek, 66% are owner-occupied. This means the rental market is tight, and you notice that as a home seeker. Of the 34% rental properties, the vast majority (26%) are owned by housing associations. Only 9% of the total housing stock falls under 'other landlords', i.e. the private sector. This explains why the supply you see at the top of this page is often limited and changes quickly.

Yet the figures from the past 12 months are striking. The average rent in the private sector was €1,496 per month. That sounds steep, especially compared to the average income in the neighbourhood of €36,600. But there is a trade-off: the average size of rented homes was a generous 284m². This is because in the rural area, such as the scattered houses, large farmhouses are sometimes rented out. The range is therefore enormous: from €400 for simple properties to as much as €3,750 for exclusive detached homes. For the current daily prices, we refer you to the overview at the top, but keep in mind that renting a house in Twello-Nijbroek in the private sector often means either digging deep into your pockets for a lot of space, or having to search hard for that one affordable apartment.

Peace, space and seniors: the atmosphere according to residents

Anyone considering settling here often consciously chooses the peace and village character. With a resident rating of 8.4, the neighbourhood scores well above average. The facilities (9.5) and green spaces (9.0) are particularly highly valued. Twello functions as the beating heart of the municipality of Voorst, with a train station and a wide range of shops, while the rural area towards Nijbroek and Terwolde is purely agricultural and expansive. It is therefore not surprising that the largest age group here is the over-65s (4,735 residents). The ageing population is visible in the streetscape and facilities.

A local resident, Arie, sums it up aptly on the main page of Twello-Nijbroek with the title "Toppie" and a score of 8.4. He notes: "Nice neighbourhood, but lots of elderly people. More cohesion between neighbours could be better." This is an honest observation you hear more often. The neighbourhood is safe (score 7.0) and clean (9.0), but it is not a place where doors are constantly left open. People are friendly but value their privacy. If you like an environment where everything is well organised, from the library to the supermarket, you will be well placed around Twello-Midden. However, if you are looking for a vibrant nightlife or a very young population, it can sometimes feel a bit quiet here.

The diversity within the area is great. You can choose the centre, where you are close to the railway and shops, or look at rural Terwolde and the village of Nijbroek. Here you really live in the countryside, often with views over the meadows. Accessibility is rated highly by residents at 8.5, partly thanks to the location near the A1 and the station in Twello, which provides excellent connections to Deventer and Apeldoorn.

Does Twello-Nijbroek suit your housing wishes?

Given the demographics and housing stock, this region is particularly suitable for those seeking peace, seniors and families who want to swap the city for a safe, green environment. With 2,725 households without children, this is the largest group, which explains the quiet streets. For starters, it is difficult: renting an affordable apartment is a challenge due to the limited supply in the lower middle segment. Competition for the few affordable rental homes is fierce. If you have a median income and are looking for something permanent, it is often smarter to look at the supply of homes for sale in Twello-Nijbroek, as buying is the norm here. Home seekers with a higher income who want to bridge a period temporarily in a spacious detached home can also sometimes find unique opportunities here.
