Rental homes in Ubbergen, Berg en Dal

Renting in Ubbergen: a small private sector with hefty prices

Ubbergen is a small neighbourhood in the municipality of Berg en Dal, with just over 480 residents and 253 homes. Notably, more than half of the homes are rented out: 52% are rental properties, compared to 47% owner-occupied. Only 8% of those rental properties are owned by a housing association. The remaining 44% are rented out by private or commercial landlords, meaning the private sector is dominant here. This has implications for the price. In the private sector, an average of €4,750 per month was paid for a rental home in Ubbergen over the past year. That is a substantial amount, especially compared to the average WOZ value of €328,000 in the neighbourhood (versus €349,000 municipality-wide). The number of rental transactions in the private sector was only 3 in the past twelve months, indicating how scarce the supply is.

Ubbergen: quiet, green and not for everyone

Those who know Ubbergen understand that this is no ordinary residential area. The neighbourhood is nestled between the Ooijpolder and the ice-age ridge of the Rijk van Nijmegen, with views that people here are not quick to give up. Residents describe it as a place where you hear no traffic noise in the evening, but only the wind through the trees. On the Ubbergen neighbourhood page you can read what residents specifically appreciate and what they miss. A recurring theme in the reviews is the peace and nature, but also the limited amenities within walking distance. One resident aptly wrote: "You have to love the outdoors, because there's no supermarket around the corner." That is frankly typical of Ubbergen.

The age distribution also tells a story: the largest group of residents is between 45 and 65 years old, followed by those aged 65 and over. Young families and people in their twenties are in the minority. This colours the atmosphere: it is quiet, neighbours know each other, and there is little nightlife or urban dynamism. For daily shopping and amenities, residents rely on nearby villages. The neighbourhood Beek and nearby Berg en Dal offer a bit more in terms of shops and accessibility. Those seeking more urban comfort quickly look towards Nijmegen, which is about a ten-minute drive away. Public transport is available but limited, so a car in Ubbergen is not a luxury but a necessity.

The high education level among residents (58% highly educated) and the average income of €42,000, which is well above the municipal average of €35,400, confirm the picture: Ubbergen attracts people who consciously choose peace, space and a certain degree of seclusion, and who can afford it. More background on the neighbourhood, scores per category and extensive resident reviews can be found on the Ubbergen neighbourhood page.

Renting in Ubbergen: who is this realistic for?

Given the average private sector rent of €4,750 per month, renting in Ubbergen is only feasible for households with a substantial income. Social housing is scarce, and supply rarely changes. The neighbourhood is best suited to people who consciously choose a green, quiet environment outside the city and who are not dependent on urban amenities within walking distance. For starters or those on a limited budget, renting an apartment in Ubbergen is financially unattainable.
