Rental prices and market figures Winterswijk-Noordoost
Of the more than 2,900 homes in Winterswijk-Noordoost, 34% are in the rental sector. That is a considerable share, but the majority of these are social rental homes via a housing corporation: 26% of the total housing stock is owned by corporations, while only 8% is in the hands of other (private) landlords. Those looking for a free-sector home therefore have a limited supply. In the free sector, 6 homes were rented out last year, with an average rent of €1,063 per month. The range was between €800 and €1,200 per month, with an average living area of 84 m². That works out to about €12.65 per m². Note: these are exclusively free-sector prices, excluding social rent. The average WOZ value in Winterswijk-Noordoost is €239,000, which is noticeably lower than the district average of €258,000 and the municipal average of €286,000.

Living in Winterswijk-Noordoost
Winterswijk-Noordoost is a quiet, predominantly ground-level neighbourhood on the northeast side of the centre of Winterswijk. The neighbourhood has a mixed character: you will find terraced houses and detached homes from the 1960s and 1970s alongside some newer buildings. It is not a distinctly urban neighbourhood, but nor is it a dormitory suburb. With 6,720 residents, it is one of the larger neighbourhoods in the municipality, and the age distribution shows that the 45-65 age group is the largest. This translates into a neighbourhood with a calm atmosphere and many long-term residents.
Residents describe the neighbourhood as cosy and green. Someone who has lived in the neighbourhood for 26 years writes: "Very cosy, beautiful forests in the area, neighbourhood barbecue and garden parties. I have lived here for 26 years and recommend everyone to come and live here." This image of social cohesion recurs in the reviews, although there is also a more critical voice: "It is a neighbourhood where everyone mostly keeps to themselves." And another resident notes that outside the immediate street it can be messy. In short: the cosiness is mainly at street level, not everywhere in the neighbourhood.
