Renting a home in Tynaarlo: an honest picture of the rental market
Tynaarlo is a green municipality just south of Groningen, made up of villages such as Eelde, Paterswolde, Vries and Eelderwolde. The housing market here is heavily focused on owner-occupied homes: 77% of the more than 14,700 homes are owner-occupied. Only 23% are rental properties, of which 15% are owned by housing associations and 8% by other landlords. This means that the supply of rental properties in Tynaarlo is relatively limited, especially in the private sector. In the past twelve months, 46 homes have been rented out in the private sector, at an average rent of €2,216 per month. The range runs from around €600 to €15,000 per month, with an average floor area of 124 m². This high average price is partly due to the large share of spacious family homes and detached houses in the supply. For the current daily price and available supply, you can consult the overview at the top of this page. Social housing is arranged through housing associations such as Woonborg; for this you need a housing permit and registration. Waiting times in Drenthe are generally shorter than in the Randstad, but for popular villages such as Eelde and Paterswolde you still need to be patient.
The villages of Tynaarlo: where do you want to rent?
Tynaarlo is not a city with districts, but a municipality with fourteen characteristic villages. Each village has its own atmosphere, and the differences are greater than you might expect. Below are the most important areas for tenants, with neighbourhood scores from residents.
Eelderwolde, the most popular village for families
With a neighbourhood score of 9.2 out of 10, Eelderwolde is the best-rated village in the municipality. It is a relatively new expansion village northwest of Paterswolde, with many new-build neighbourhoods, wide streets and playgrounds. Families with children form the largest group here. Its location close to the A28 and within cycling distance of Groningen city makes it attractive for commuters. Finding a rental home in Eelderwolde is not easy due to the limited supply, but when something becomes available, it goes quickly.
Eelde, village living near Groningen Airport
Eelde scores a 6.5 from residents. The village has a compact centre with a supermarket, primary schools and catering facilities. Groningen Airport Eelde lies on the outskirts, which for some is a disadvantage (noise), but also offers employment. Accessibility by public transport is poor, something that is reflected in the municipality-wide score of 6.2 for accessibility. One resident notes that you really need a car for your daily shopping if you live outside the centre. See all resident experiences about Tynaarlo for more insights like this.
Yde and Vries, peace and space in the heart of Drenthe
The small Yde gets a 7.2 from residents and lies close to Vries, the administrative centre of the municipality. Vries has the town hall, a GP practice, shops and several schools. Here you will find a mix of older village homes and newer terraced houses. For those seeking peace but still wanting amenities within walking distance, Vries is a logical choice. Yde is even smaller and more rural, suitable for people who really don't want it busy.
Midlaren (neighbourhood score 6.3) and Paterswolde are also worth a look. Paterswolde lies on the Paterswoldsemeer and attracts people who enjoy water sports, while Midlaren is a small esdorp on the edge of the Drentsche Aa area. Furthermore, there are quiet villages such as Zeegse, Bunne and Zuidlaarderveen, where the supply is very limited but the peace is complete. The municipality scores a municipality-wide 8.8 on green space and a 9.0 on safety, and you notice that in every village.
Who is renting in Tynaarlo suitable for?
Tynaarlo mainly attracts families and older couples who value green space, safety and space. The largest age group (45-65 years) and the high percentage of married people (42%) confirm that picture. With 42% highly educated and an average income of €40,800, it is a prosperous municipality. Renting a home in Tynaarlo is particularly interesting if you work in Groningen or Assen but want to live more rurally. The A28 and provincial roads offer good connections, although public transport outside the Groningen-Assen bus line is limited.
If you are looking for a cheap apartment to rent in Tynaarlo, the private sector is probably not your best option. The average rent of €2,216 is high and the supply is small. In that case, register with a housing association. For starters and singles with a smaller budget, it may be wise to also look at rental properties in Assen or the supply in Aa en Hunze, where prices are lower. Would you rather consider buying? With an average WOZ value of €393,000, buying in Tynaarlo is not cheap, but feel free to check the homes for sale in Tynaarlo to compare.
