Renting a home in Tytsjerksteradiel: an honest picture of the rental market
Tytsjerksteradiel is a Frisian rural municipality where buying is the norm. Of the more than 14,200 homes, only 28% are rental properties, of which 19% are owned by housing associations and 9% by other landlords. This means that supply in the private sector is limited. In the past twelve months, only 26 homes have been rented out in the private sector (excluding social housing), at an average rent of €1,145 per month. The range runs from €695 to €2,137 per month, with an average floor area of 187 m². That is substantial by Frisian standards, but you also get spacious homes in return. Check the top of this page for the current daily supply and the most recent rental prices. Social housing is arranged through associations such as WoonFriesland, where waiting lists are long. Anyone looking for a rental home in this municipality must therefore be patient or be willing to pay in the private sector.
In terms of accessibility, the municipality scores remarkably high: an 8.7 from residents. This is mainly due to its location along the A7 and A32, meaning you can be in Leeuwarden within a quarter of an hour and in Drachten within half an hour. Major employers are not so much found in the municipality itself, but rather in those surrounding cities. Tytsjerksteradiel thus functions as a green, quiet residential municipality for people who work elsewhere.
Villages with their own character: where do you want to rent?
Tytsjerksteradiel consists of dozens of villages, each with its own atmosphere. The differences are greater than you might expect. Residents give the municipality an average of 7.7 on the municipal page of Tytsjerksteradiel, but scores vary per village. Below are the most important areas for renters.
Hurdegaryp, the most popular choice for families
Hurdegaryp is the largest village after Burgum and scores an 8.2 from residents based on 5 reviews. The village is located directly on the A7, which explains the high accessibility score. There are primary schools, a supermarket and sports clubs. Families with children form the largest group here. One resident writes that Hurdegaryp "is a nice village to let children grow up, with plenty of space and a close-knit club life". The rental supply is limited, but when something becomes available, it is often spacious single-family homes.
Burgum, the centre of the municipality
As the main town of the municipality, Burgum has the most amenities: shops, catering, a library, secondary schools and the town hall. The neighbourhood score of 6.9 based on 4 reviews is somewhat lower than the rest. This is partly because residents rate housing and beauty less highly. Burgum is functional and practical, but according to some residents lacks the charm of the smaller villages. For renters who want amenities within walking distance, it is the logical choice. Here you will also find the most supply if you want to rent an apartment in Tytsjerksteradiel.
Ryptsjerk, village-like and highly rated
Ryptsjerk scores an 8.6, the highest neighbourhood score in the municipality. It is a small village where peace and community spirit are paramount. The rental supply here is minimal, but those who end up there greatly appreciate the surroundings. This is typically a village for people who consciously choose the Frisian countryside.
In addition, there are villages such as Eastermar, located on the edge of the Frisian Woods, and Earnewâld, known for the Alde Feanen. Both are popular with nature lovers but have hardly any rental homes. Sumar and Noordburgum are smaller villages that mainly attract with their peace and affordable housing stock. Anyone looking for a home to rent in Tytsjerksteradiel would do well to keep an eye on several villages at the same time, because the supply varies greatly.
Renting in Tytsjerksteradiel: who is it suitable for?
The municipality mainly attracts families and older households. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years, and 43% of residents are married. Households with children form the largest group (4,787). If you are looking for a quiet living environment with plenty of greenery, good schools (education scores an 8.0) and fast connections to Leeuwarden, then Tytsjerksteradiel is a good fit. The labour participation rate is 65%, the average income is €33,000, which is in line with the Frisian average.
To be honest: it is more difficult for starters and single people. The rental supply is small, the private sector is not cheap, and social housing has long waiting times. Renting a house in Tytsjerksteradiel requires quick action when something comes on the market. Make sure you have your proof of income, employer's statement and identity document ready. In addition, register with WoonFriesland if you want to qualify for social housing. If you want more choice, you can also look at homes for sale in Tytsjerksteradiel, because with an average WOZ value of €283,000, buying here is relatively affordable compared to the Randstad.

Many social housing units and many single residents. Little greenery. Few children in the neighbourhood. I think the oldest neighbourhood in Burgum. Contact with my neighbours is good. We don't visit each other's homes. We do look out for each other. And I feel safe here. There are no benches or anything in the neighbourhood.

Auto-translated to English by AIExtremely bad. A Pakistani family has been living at number 7 for years and they can do whatever they want. Dealing drugs, weapons in the house. Things have gone wrong here several times with smashed windows and the police constantly driving through the neighbourhood. Our housing association does nothing about it because they just collect the rent, of course. It's driving the whole neighbourhood crazy..
