That rental portion mainly consists of social housing (18%), while the private sector has only a small share (6%). Anyone looking for a rental home in Zegveld via the private sector faces limited supply and relatively high prices. Based on the past twelve months, only 7 private-sector homes were rented out, with an average rent of €1,527 per month and a range of €881 to €2,150 per month. The average floor area was 198 m², indicating that these are mostly spacious single-family homes, not apartments. The WOZ value in Zegveld is €422,000, slightly higher than the municipal average of €405,000 for Woerden. Current rental prices and the current supply can be found at the top of this page.
Zegveld: peat meadow tranquillity with a close-knit village community
Living in Zegveld means living in the open peat meadow landscape between Woerden and Bodegraven. The village has a distinct character: quiet, green, and with strong social cohesion. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years, and households with children are the most common living situation. That says something about who lives here: families who consciously choose space and tranquillity, and less for urban amenities within walking distance.
On the neighbourhood page of Zegveld you can find resident experiences and scores per category. Residents particularly appreciate the village for its peace and space. A common sentiment is that Zegveld feels like a place where you still know each other, where children play outside, and where the hustle and bustle of the city is far away. At the same time, there is also criticism: the limited shopping facilities in the village itself are often mentioned. For daily groceries, you have to rely on Woerden or Bodegraven. Accessibility by public transport is also a recurring point of attention. Zegveld does not have a train station; the nearest train stations are those of Woerden and Bodegraven. By car, Zegveld is easily accessible via the N212, but those dependent on public transport notice that quickly.
Within Zegveld, there are two sub-areas: the village centre of Zegveld, with the ribbon development along the Zegveldse Uitweg, and the more scattered rural area of Zegveld, where farms and detached houses dominate the picture. Renting in the rural area is rare and often more expensive; the village itself has slightly more supply through housing associations.
