Renting in Wildervank: a small private sector in a owner-occupied dominated neighbourhood
Wildervank is primarily an owner-occupied neighbourhood. Of the 2,435 homes, only 25% are in the rental sector, most of which (16%) are owned by a housing association. The private sector is therefore limited: only 9% of the housing stock consists of other landlords. Those looking for a rental home outside social housing have little choice. In the past twelve months, ten private sector homes were rented out in Wildervank, with an average rent of €1,219 per month and a range of €590 to €2,000 per month. The average floor area was 214 m², indicating that these are often spacious single-family homes. The WOZ value in Wildervank, at €250,000, is clearly above the municipal average of €213,000 for Veendam, which partly explains the relatively higher rents.

Wildervank: a neighbourhood where everyone knows each other, but cars still drive too fast
Wildervank is a quiet, predominantly green neighbourhood in the municipality of Veendam with a strong sense of community. Residents give the neighbourhood an 8.2 on Buurtje.nl, and that score is not surprising when you read the reviews. Daniel Wendels has lived there for eighteen years and describes it as a "cosy neighbourhood where everyone knows each other". Olga Horstman emphasises the good amenities and public transport, giving it an 8.6. That accessibility score of 9.3 is no coincidence: the bus connections towards Veendam centre and Groningen are seen by residents as a serious plus point.
Yet not everything is rosy. Hans, another resident, points to a recurring problem: the 30 km/h zone is not always respected, making it feel like a through road in the evenings. In addition, he makes a critical note about housing allocation: he sees too many single-family homes occupied by single people, while families with children are waiting for a home. That is a sign that aligns with the demographic data: the largest age group in Wildervank is 45 to 65 years, and households without children form the largest household group. The neighbourhood is slowly ageing, but is at the same time popular with families who would like to live there. Read more experiences and see all sub-scores on the neighbourhood page of Wildervank.
In terms of atmosphere and greenery, the neighbourhood scores highly: a 9.3 for greenery and an 8.7 for education make it clear that this is a pleasant neighbourhood to grow up in. The immediate surroundings offer space, greenery and tranquillity. Those who also want to explore the adjacent areas can go to Boven-Wildervank or the more rural Bareveld. Wildervanksterdallen is also an option for those seeking a bit more peace on the edge of the neighbourhood.

For whom is renting in Wildervank the right choice, and for whom not?
Renting a home in Wildervank suits people who seek peace and space, value a close-knit neighbourhood and have no objection to a somewhat longer search in the private sector. Families with children can do well here, partly due to the high education score and the green character. However, those looking for an affordable apartment to rent in Wildervank or a large supply of rental homes will be disappointed: the private sector supply is small and prices are not low. For those who want to invest in the neighbourhood for the long term, owner-occupied homes in Wildervank are a serious alternative to consider. Those who want to search more broadly in the municipality will find more choice via the overview of rental homes in Veendam.

Nice neighbourhood with many amenities and good public transport
Auto-translated to English by AIWe have a 30 km/h zone but it's like a motorway sometimes in the evenings. Otherwise a nice neighbourhood to live in, nothing wrong with it, but many single people in a single-family home, which I think doesn't match the housing construction, while there are plenty of people with children looking for a home.
