House prices and market figures for De Kemp, Roermond
De Kemp is a neighbourhood where buying is less common than renting. Of the more than 1,100 homes, only 31% are owner-occupied, while 61% are owned by housing associations. This makes the supply of homes for sale in De Kemp relatively limited and the market therefore somewhat more volatile than in surrounding neighbourhoods.
The average WOZ value in De Kemp is €192,000. That is significantly lower than the average in the broader district Roermond-Zuid (€250,000) and even further from the municipal average of €289,000. However, this lower WOZ value does not translate directly into selling prices: in the past twelve months, 18 homes were sold at an average purchase price of €278,444. The range ran from €199,000 to €398,000, with an average living area of 109 m². That works out at roughly €2,555 per m². For current asking prices and current selling times, you can consult the overview at the top of this page.
The housing stock mainly consists of ground-floor terraced houses and semi-detached houses from the 1970s and 1980s. Detached houses are rare in this neighbourhood. The ratio between the average selling price and the WOZ value shows that buyers sometimes pay well above the appraised value, indicating scarcity in the owner-occupied segment.
Living in De Kemp, Roermond
De Kemp is located in the southern part of Roermond and has a distinct residential character. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for architectural features or trendy eateries, but rather for the everyday, quiet atmosphere of a post-war expansion district. The streets are wide, there is relatively much greenery between the houses, and pedestrian traffic predominates on the residential yards. For those seeking peace and space within cycling distance of the centre, De Kemp offers that to a certain extent.
The neighbourhood borders the countryside towards the Meuse and therefore has a slightly greener edge than you would expect in an urban context. Residents often mention the accessibility of the Roermond Forest and the walking and cycling paths along the Meuse as a plus point. At the same time, the level of amenities in the neighbourhood itself is limited: there is a primary school within walking distance, but for daily shopping you have to rely on supermarkets in the adjacent neighbourhoods or the nearby shopping area towards Keulsebaan. An Aldi and a Lidl are easily accessible by bike.
In terms of accessibility, De Kemp is dependent on the car or bicycle. Roermond station is about 3 to 4 kilometres away, which is a quarter of an hour by bike. Bus connections towards the centre run via Keulsebaan. The connection to the A73 is quickly reached via the southern arterial roads, making commuting to Venlo or Eindhoven practical. The city centre of Roermond can be reached by bike in ten to fifteen minutes.
The neighbourhood has a mixed socio-economic profile. The average income is €23,200, which is considerably lower than the district average of €32,200 and the municipal average of €34,700. The labour participation rate of 53% and the share of highly educated people of 20% confirm that picture. This also translates into the atmosphere: De Kemp is a neighbourhood with a strong mix of young families, people who have lived in the area for a long time, and tenants of housing association homes. The largest age group is 25 to 45 years old, and households with children are the most common family type.
Residents appreciate the peace, space and location away from the hustle and bustle of the centre. On the neighbourhood main page of De Kemp you can read what residents specifically say about their district, including scores per category such as safety, greenery and amenities. One resident writes: "It is quiet here and the children can play safely outside, but for a night out you really have to drive to the centre." That sums up the neighbourhood well: pleasant living for those who do not need everything around the corner, but less suitable for those seeking the vibrancy of the city.
Would you like to compare De Kemp with the rest of the district? In Kitskensberg the WOZ values and incomes are higher, with a different type of housing stock. Kitskensdal and Kapel-Muggenbroek are somewhat similar in character, but each has its own dynamics on the owner-occupied market.

Who is a home for sale in De Kemp interesting for?
De Kemp mainly attracts young families and first-time buyers looking for an affordable entry into a quiet residential neighbourhood with some outdoor space. The low WOZ value and the relatively modest asking prices at the lower end of the market (from €199,000) make buying here more accessible than in large parts of Roermond. However, you must take into account a limited supply: only a few dozen homes are sold per year, causing competition to rise quickly. Those moving up who want more space or higher housing quality might be better off looking at other districts such as Donderberg or Maasniel. Would you rather rent before buying?
