Rental homes in Wijk 00, Zeewolde

What does a rental property cost in Wijk 00, Zeewolde?

Wijk 00 is essentially the entire built-up area of Zeewolde, and the rental market here is relatively tight. Of the more than 9,300 homes, only 30% are rental properties, the majority of which (22%) are owned by housing associations. The private sector accounts for about 7% of the total, meaning there are only a handful of homes available at any given time. The average WOZ value is €394,000, exactly equal to the municipal average, which makes sense since Wijk 00 covers almost all of Zeewolde.

In the private sector, 43 homes have been rented out over the past twelve months, at an average rent of €1,831 per month. The range runs from €847 to €2,950 per month, with an average floor area of 120 m². This spread is considerable: at the lower end you find compact apartments, at the upper end spacious family homes with gardens. Bear in mind that these are annual averages for the private sector, excluding social housing.

Beach around the corner and neighbours who greet you: life in Wijk 00

Residents of Wijk 00 rate their surroundings an 8.4 out of 10 on Buurtje.nl, based on 7 reviews. Green spaces and accessibility score notably high, both at 8.9. That's no surprise if you live here. Zeewolde is nestled between the Horsterwold and the Wolderwijd, and you notice that every day. Resident Widnie describes it aptly: "Nice cosy atmosphere, when you look out the window you immediately see the beach." That proximity to water and nature is truly the hallmark of this place.

The atmosphere is village-like but not backward. Amenities score an 8.6 among residents, and in the Centrum you'll find supermarkets, shops and restaurants within walking distance. Accessibility via the A28 towards Amersfoort and the bus line to Harderwijk make it workable for commuters, although you miss a train station. Resident Joost gives a 10 and sums it up: "Cosy, everyone feels safe in the neighbourhood." Safety scores an 8.1 accordingly.

Yet it's not all roses. Linda warns that "more and more young people are coming who vandalise things, like an empty daycare centre" and advocates for neighbourhood watch. That nuances the picture. The neighbourhood is generally quiet, but in some places, especially around vacant buildings, nuisance can occur. Those looking for a rental home in the green suburbs such as de Derde woonwijk or Zuidlob will generally find more peace there. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years (7,000 residents), but with 3,800 households with children, it is certainly also a family neighbourhood. On the neighbourhood page of Wijk 00 you can read all resident reviews and find extensive figures on safety, education and more. Education scores an 8.3, which fits the child-friendly character that Linda emphasises in another review: "A child-friendly environment with beautiful green spaces and places to walk the dog."

Does renting in Wijk 00 suit your situation?

With an average income of €37,900 and private sector rents around €1,831, renting an apartment in Wijk 00 is mainly feasible for dual-income earners or households with an above-average income.

For those who prefer to buy: 70% of homes are owner-occupied, and the supply of homes for sale in Wijk 00 is generally larger than the rental market.
