Buying a house in Albrandswaard: the housing market in 2026
Albrandswaard is a municipality on the island of IJsselmonde, directly south of Rotterdam. The municipality consists of the villages of Rhoon and Poortugaal and the newer Portland, and mainly attracts people who want to combine the peace of a village with the proximity of the Rotterdam region. Via the A15 and A16 you are within a quarter of an hour at the Erasmus Bridge, and with the metro (Rhoon stop) you are quickly in the centre of Rotterdam. This makes Albrandswaard popular with families and dual-income earners who work in the Randstad but prefer not to live in the city.
The housing market in Albrandswaard is strongly owner-occupied: 70% of the more than 10,700 homes are owner-occupied, only 30% are rental. The average WOZ value is €431,000, but actual selling prices are higher. In the past twelve months, 156 homes were sold for an average purchase price of €619,221. The range is wide: from €239,000 for a modest apartment to €1,850,000 for detached homes on the Essendijk or along the Waaldijk. The average living area of 141 m² shows that the supply is heavily focused on single-family homes. At the top of this page you will find the current supply and the most recent selling times.

Poortugaal-Zuid: village character, solid score
Poortugaal-Zuid is the heart of the old village of Poortugaal, with a mix of pre-war homes, 1960s construction and more recent infill projects.

Rhoon-Noord: more affordable, but pay attention to details

The neighbourhood has a varied housing stock, from 1970s flats to newer apartments. The neighbourhood score of 5.6 is the lowest in the municipality (based on 1 review), so it is wise to look around carefully yourself and wait for more reviews.

Rhoon-Zuid: the historic village centre
Rhoon-Zuid encompasses the old centre of Rhoon, with the monumental Castle of Rhoon and the Dorpsdijk.

Prices for detached and semi-detached homes can be quite high here. View what is for sale in Rhoon-Zuid.
In addition, there are a few other neighbourhoods worth exploring.

What to look out for when buying a home in Albrandswaard?
Firstly: look beyond just Rhoon or Portland. Poortugaal-Zuid offers similar living quality at lower prices, and the neighbourhood score of 7.9 confirms that residents are satisfied. Those willing to search a bit further may sometimes find better value for money.
Secondly: be prepared for a tight market. With 156 sales in the past year and a municipality of over 26,000 residents, a home does not come on the market every day. Overbidding is more the rule than the exception in Albrandswaard, especially for single-family homes in Portland and Rhoon-Zuid. Make sure your financing is in order in advance.
Thirdly: accessibility varies by neighbourhood. Rhoon-Noord has the metro within walking distance, while from the rural area you are dependent on the car. Also check whether your children's school or sports club is easily accessible from the specific street.
Finally: use the neighbourhood scores and reviews on Buurtje.nl to objectively compare neighbourhoods. Figures on safety, greenery and amenities give a fairer picture than a single viewing. And if buying now is not an option? Then also look at the possibilities for renting a home in Albrandswaard.

Good. As a woman, I rarely feel unsafe in my neighbourhood. There is a small shopping centre with shops for daily necessities. Additionally, the neighbourhood is structured and lies right next to the polder, so you can enjoy walking there. Public transport could be a bit better. There are two bus lines, but they often run close together, making the waiting time sometimes too long.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt can sometimes be chaotic, things are often stolen, windows smashed, etc. But we do have a group app for our neighbourhood so we can keep an eye on each other and help/support.
Auto-translated to English by AIGood experience. It's a quiet neighbourhood and as a woman I often feel safe on the street. Mostly many families live there. Nice nature nearby for exercise and sports. Good shops in the area. Public transport connection could be better.
Auto-translated to English by AIRhoon is a nice neighbourhood with tidy residents, but the people who are now being placed in various homes are dragging the neighbourhood down. Apparently, nowadays you can just put your rubbish next to the bin, over your balcony, or in a walkway. You can live with ten people in a two-room apartment. Use the street as a racetrack. And above all, don't work and have someone else do your garden. The neighbourhood is going downhill.
Auto-translated to English by AIGreat, really, and I'm very happy with it, have been living here for 60 years.....!!!!
