That difference of over €20,000 says something about the type of housing: in Schollevaar Noord, terraced houses and porch flats from the 1960s and 1970s dominate, with the occasional semi-detached house. Over the past twelve months, 32 homes were sold at an average purchase price of €466,188, with a range of €280,000 to €825,000. That upper segment is driven by the larger family homes.

Of the more than 1,590 homes in the neighbourhood, 54% are owner-occupied and 46% are rental properties, a significant portion (34%) of which are owned by housing associations. This gives the neighbourhood a mixed character: buyers and renters live side by side, which keeps the atmosphere accessible but also means that the supply of owner-occupied homes in Schollevaar Noord is relatively limited.
