Rental homes in Uithuizen, Het Hogeland

What does a rental property cost in Uithuizen? Affordable, but limited supply

Uithuizen has a fairly even split between rental and owner-occupied homes: 48% of the approximately 2,842 homes are rental properties, and 51% are owner-occupied. A large portion of the rental supply (39% of all homes) is owned by housing associations, meaning the private rental sector is relatively small. Only 9% of homes are rented out by other landlords. In the private sector, the average rent over the past year was €1,151 per month, with a range of €630 to €1,300. The average size of those rented homes was 65 m². Note: only nine homes were rented out in the private sector in twelve months, so supply is limited. For the current daily price and availability, you can consult the overview at the top of this page.

The WOZ value in Uithuizen, at €212,000, is significantly lower than the average for the municipality of Het Hogeland (€251,000). The average income of €28,500 also lags behind the €32,200 at municipal level. This makes renting in Uithuizen on paper more accessible than in some other parts of Het Hogeland, but due to the tight supply in the private sector, it is still a challenge. Anyone looking for a rental home would do well to also consider the supply in surrounding villages.

Living in Uithuizen: cosy and accessible, but not without drawbacks

Residents of Uithuizen rate their neighbourhood on Buurtje.nl a 6.8 out of 10. That is not an exceptionally high score, and the sub-scores show why. Accessibility scores a notably high 9.0: Uithuizen is located on the N363 and has good bus connections to Groningen city. Education also scores a nice 8.0, thanks in part to primary schools in the village and the proximity of secondary schools in the region. Green space scores a 7.0, which fits the open Groningen landscapes around the village.

But there are also clear points for attention. Amenities and housing both score a 5.7. Resident Zoey writes: "The neighbourhood itself is fine, but quite unsafe because young people break everything here. Furthermore, there is often a lot of litter and dog poop." She also notes that there are not many amenities. Safety scores a 6.7, and several residents mention nuisance from young people as a concern. On the other hand, resident Jelmer is actually full of praise: "Everything is close by and it is a cosy neighbourhood where it is always tidy. There is a lot of nature like forests nearby and many shops close by." That contrast is typical: the experience varies greatly per neighbourhood.

The character of Uithuizen is partly determined by the ageing population. The largest age group is 65+ (1,570 residents), and over 40% of households are single-person. This gives some streets a quiet, sometimes tranquil atmosphere. Jimmy describes it as "quiet but very cosy" and emphasises that everyone is friendly to each other. If you are looking for a lively nightlife area, you are in the wrong place here, but for peace and space, Uithuizen is a logical choice. Check out the neighbourhood page for Uithuizen for all resident reviews and detailed neighbourhood data. The atmosphere varies by part of the village: in the Centre you will find most shops and hospitality, while Uithuizen North and the South-West side have more of a residential neighbourhood character. The Rural Area is mainly interesting if you love space and quiet.

Renting in Uithuizen: for whom and for whom not?

With the relatively low rents and quiet character, Uithuizen is mainly interesting for single people and older adults looking for an affordable apartment to rent in Uithuizen. Starters who depend on social housing must take into account waiting times at the housing associations, since 39% of the housing stock is association-owned and demand is high. For families with school-age children, the high education score is a plus, although the limited level of amenities is a drawback. If you are looking for more bustle or a larger supply, then Uithuizen may be less suitable. Those who prefer to buy rather than rent can look at owner-occupied homes in Uithuizen, where the WOZ value of €212,000 is relatively low compared to the rest of the municipality.
