Rental prices and market figures Verspreide huizen Beilen, Midden-Drenthe
Verspreide huizen Beilen is essentially an owner-occupied neighbourhood: only 13% of the 633 homes are rented. This makes the supply limited, but also says something about the character of this area. Of that 13% rental, 3% is owned by a housing association (social housing) and 10% by other landlords (private sector). Anyone looking for a rental home here can therefore expect few social housing options and will largely have to rely on the private sector.
In the private sector (excluding social housing), three homes were rented out in the past twelve months, with an average rent of €1,122 per month. The range was from €975 to €1,195 per month. Due to the small number of transactions, these figures are indicative. Current rental prices for available rental homes are at the top of this page.
The average WOZ value in Verspreide huizen Beilen is €405,000. That is significantly higher than the district average of Beilen (€291,000) and the municipal average of Midden-Drenthe (€299,000). This reflects the rural, detached character of the homes here: larger plots, more space, higher value. For tenants, this means that rental prices in the private sector are correspondingly higher than elsewhere in the neighbourhood.
Living in Verspreide huizen Beilen, Midden-Drenthe

Think of detached farmhouses, spacious country houses and farmhouses along the Beilerstraat, the Hoogeveenseweg and the surrounding field roads. There is no real neighbourhood structure with a central square or shopping street. What there is: space, peace and views of the Drenthe landscape.
The housing stock consists mainly of detached owner-occupied homes, often on large plots. Rental homes are scarce and when they are available, they are usually larger homes with a garden.
