Rental homes in Veenoord, Emmen

Renting in Veenoord: housing association homes dominate, private sector is scarce

Of the more than a thousand homes in Veenoord, 45% are rented out. The vast majority of these are owned by a housing association: as much as 41% of the total housing stock falls under association ownership. This means the private sector is limited here, with only about 3% from other landlords. Anyone looking for a rental home in Veenoord outside the social sector therefore has little choice. The average WOZ value of homes in Veenoord is around €232,000, slightly below the municipal average of Emmen (€240,000). This reflects an accessible housing market, but also a relatively modest housing quality. For current rental prices and the current supply, you can check the overview at the top of this page.

Veenoord: a quiet peat-village atmosphere with close neighbours

Veenoord is a small village with a distinct character. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for busy shopping streets or a vibrant nightlife, but rather for its tranquillity and mutual involvement. The largest group of residents is between 45 and 65 years old, and the proportion of over-65s is also significant. This gives the village a quieter pace, which for some renters is exactly what they are looking for and for others is a reason to look elsewhere.

On Buurtje.nl, Veenoord scores a 7.9 out of 10, based on resident experiences. Resident Eliud describes the neighbourhood simply but aptly: "Good neighbours, nice neighbours, cheerful neighbours." This sense of community is also reflected in the sub-scores: safety scores even a 9.0, and accessibility, community and green spaces all score an 8.0. These are strong figures for a small village. Read more experiences and all neighbourhood data on the Veenoord neighbourhood page.

Less strong are the scores for beauty (7.0) and amenities (7.0). This matches reality: Veenoord is a modest village without extensive shopping facilities or much hospitality. For daily groceries and larger amenities, residents rely on surrounding places. The nearby neighbourhood Ermerveen and the scattered houses around Veenoord offer a similar rural living environment. Those who want slightly more urban amenities but still want to stay in the region can also look at Emmer-Compascuum or Nieuw-Weerdinge.

Is renting in Veenoord right for you?

Families with children are well represented, and the safety score of 9.0 makes it attractive for parents. The average income in Veenoord (€27,400) is below the municipal average, which partly explains the affordability of homes here. For those considering renting a flat in Veenoord: the supply is small and heavily focused on housing association homes. Starters or young people looking for dynamism and more amenities will feel less at home here. Looking at Barger-Compascuum or Nieuw-Dordrecht could then be a good alternative.
