What does a rental property cost in Woerden-Midden?

Woerden-Midden is a neighbourhood where renting and buying are reasonably balanced: 44% of the more than 8,999 homes are rental properties, of which 28% are owned by housing associations and 16% by other landlords.

The range runs from around €800 for a compact apartment to €2,950 for larger family homes, with an average floor area of 83 m². That is substantial, but the average WOZ value in Woerden-Midden, at €370,000, is lower than the municipal average of €405,000.

Cosy, green and a touch working-class: how residents experience Woerden-Midden

Residents of Woerden-Midden give their neighbourhood an 8.4 out of 10 on Buurtje.nl, based on 7 reviews. What immediately stands out: the word "cosy" comes up time and again. Resident Samantha even gave a 10 and wrote: "It's cosy, I came back to Woerden." Wotan, who has lived there for years, describes the atmosphere as warm and friendly. Rosalie calls the neighbourhood "working-class" and emphasises that everything is close by, a nice neighbourhood to grow up in. You notice that working-class character: people greet each other on the street, there is mutual contact in the apartment complexes and it feels small-scale despite the nearly 20,000 residents.

Accessibility scores the highest of all categories with an 8.9, and for good reason. Woerden station is within cycling distance and takes you to Utrecht in a quarter of an hour. The A12 is nearby, which suits commuters to The Hague or Amsterdam well. Education also scores highly (8.7), logical given the number of primary schools and the proximity of secondary schools. Monique, who lives in the Staatsliedenkwartier, describes how she can be in the Brediusbos with the dog in ten minutes and at a supermarket within five minutes. She does note that the range of shops in the immediate vicinity is limited; for more extensive shopping you need to go to shopping centre Snel en Polanen or the historic city centre.

Woerden-Midden consists of very different neighbourhoods. The Bloemen- en Bomenkwartier is quiet and green, the Schilderskwartier is more compact, and the Vogelkwartier has a mix of single-family homes and apartments. Resident TP describes it aptly: "A cosy, spacious neighbourhood with good facilities, pleasant to live in." Green spaces score an 8.3, and that is correct: parks such as the Brediusbos and the green strips along the Oude Rijn give the neighbourhood a village feel.
