Rental homes in Uithoorn

Renting in Uithoorn: between the Amstel and polder

Uithoorn is a municipality with over 31,600 residents on the southern edge of the Amsterdam region. Of the approximately 13,500 homes, 40% are rental properties and 60% are owner-occupied. Within the rental segment, 31% are owned by housing associations (mainly Eigen Haard), while about 9% are in the hands of other landlords. This means the private sector is relatively small, and you can see that in the prices. In the past twelve months, 169 homes in the private sector were rented at an average rent of €2,149 per month, with a range of €823 to €3,750. The average size of those homes was 126 m². Anyone considering renting an apartment in Uithoorn in the lower segment therefore has to search carefully or be on the waiting list for social housing. At the top of this page you will always find the current daily price and the current supply. Uithoorn is a fifteen-minute drive from Amstelveen and half an hour from Amsterdam-Zuid, but public transport is limited to bus lines. This depresses the accessibility score, which residents rate at 7.0, but it also keeps the municipality quiet compared to the city.

Neighbourhoods in Uithoorn: where do you want to live?

Uithoorn is not a large municipality, but the neighbourhoods differ more than you might think at first glance. From the village centre along the Amstel to the new-build in Legmeer, each area has its own character. Below are the main neighbourhoods for renters.

Meerwijk, green and family-friendly

Meerwijk is the highest-rated neighbourhood in Uithoorn with an 8.0 from residents based on 5 reviews. The neighbourhood lies on the west side, borders the Zijdelmeer and has wide avenues with plenty of greenery. It is typically a family neighbourhood with terraced houses and semi-detached homes. Residents cite the peaceful atmosphere and the proximity of water and nature as major plus points. One reviewer writes that it is "lovely to live with children, with playgrounds around the corner and the lake within walking distance." If you are looking for a rental home in a quiet, green environment with good primary schools, you will be well placed here.

Thamerdal, affordable and practical

Thamerdal scores a 7.2 from residents (2 reviews) and is one of the neighbourhoods with the most housing association properties. Here you will find relatively many social rental homes and apartments. The neighbourhood is less distinctive in terms of atmosphere, but practical: close to the Zijdelwaard shopping centre and bus stops towards Amstelveen. For starters and singles who want to rent a home in Uithoorn without paying top dollar, Thamerdal is the logical starting point.

Other neighbourhoods to keep an eye on

The Dorpscentrum along the Amstel has the most village character, with small shops, restaurants and the weekly market. Occasionally, upper-floor apartments and flats become available in the private sector here. Zijdelwaard is the neighbourhood around the shopping centre of the same name, convenient for daily errands and with a mix of rental and owner-occupied properties. Legmeer is a development area where new-build is planned in the coming years, which could yield more rental homes in Uithoorn in the long term. And then there is De Kwakel, a separate village within the municipality with its own rural identity. Here the supply is limited, but the peace and quiet is great. More resident reviews and neighbourhood comparisons can be found on the municipality page of Uithoorn, which now has 7 reviews with an average of 7.8.

Who is a rental home in Uithoorn suitable for?

With an average household income of €40,600 and a large group of over-45s, Uithoorn is mainly a municipality for movers and established families. The largest household group is those with children (5,569 households), and this is reflected in the level of amenities: good primary schools, sports clubs and playgrounds, although education and amenities score a 7.0 and 7.3, not above average. For expats or international workers who want to be close to Schiphol, Uithoorn can be interesting due to the lower rents than Amstelveen, although you then have to take into account longer travel times by public transport. Starters with a modal income find it difficult to get a foothold in the private sector. Social housing via Eigen Haard has waiting times of several years. If you want to move quickly and are flexible with your budget, you might also consider owner-occupied homes in Uithoorn, where the average WOZ value is €427,000. And let's be honest: if you depend on public transport and regularly need to go to Amsterdam-Centrum, Uithoorn is not the most convenient choice. A car is almost essential here. More information about living, parking and municipal regulations can be found on the website of the municipality of Uithoorn.
