Purchase prices in Reutum: spacious homes with a hefty price tag
Reutum is a pronounced owner-occupied neighbourhood. Over 73% of the 525 homes are owner-occupied, which is significantly higher than in many other villages in the municipality of Tubbergen. The average WOZ value in Reutum is €406,446, slightly above the municipal average of €401,000. That difference is modest, but actual sale prices are much higher: over the past twelve months, 16 homes were sold with an average purchase price of €1,444,781 and a range of €160,000 to €16,000,000. This enormous spread is entirely due to the type of housing on offer: Reutum has many spacious detached farmhouses and country estates on large plots, with an average sold floor area of 255 m². Buying an apartment in Reutum is practically not an option; the supply consists almost entirely of ground-based homes.

Living in Reutum: living in the countryside without feeling remote
Reutum is a small hamlet in the municipality of Tubbergen, nestled between meadows and forest edges in the Twente coulisse landscape. The village has around 1,275 inhabitants and a remarkably stable population composition: the largest group is aged 45 to 65, but there are also relatively many families with children. Nearly half of households are married and 195 households have children. That says something about the character of the place: people consciously choose space, peace and a sense of community here, not urban vibrancy.
On the neighbourhood page of Reutum there are resident reviews that confirm that picture. Residents particularly appreciate the peace, space and feeling of safety. A frequently heard comment is that you know your neighbours here and that children can play outside without worry. Criticism mainly focuses on the limited amenities directly in the village itself: you won't find a supermarket in Reutum; for that you rely on nearby Tubbergen or Almelo. Primary education is available via a small village school, but for secondary education children travel to Tubbergen. There is more to do sport-wise: the football club and local associations form the social core of the village.
In terms of accessibility, Reutum is not a station village. The nearest train stations are Almelo and Hengelo, both about 20 to 25 minutes away by car. Bus connections are limited and a car is practically indispensable. Via the N736 you quickly reach the N35 towards Almelo and Zwolle. For those working in the Twente region from Reutum centre or the scattered houses around Reutum, the daily commute is half an hour. That is the conscious choice you make when buying here: more space, less urban proximity. Similar villages in the municipality are Albergen and Langeveen, which have a similar character but sometimes offer slightly more amenities.
For which buyers is Reutum a serious option?
Reutum mainly attracts movers and buyers who consciously choose a detached home on a spacious plot, far from urban hustle and bustle. First-time buyers will hardly find an affordable home here: the entry price is high and supply is limited. Anyone considering buying a home in Reutum must take into account additional costs such as transfer tax (2% for non-first-time buyers), notary fees and possible valuation costs. If buying is not feasible now, there are also rental homes in Reutum available, although that share is limited at 27%. More information about living and amenities in the municipality can be found on the website of the municipality of Tubbergen.
