This 2019 semi-detached house on Rietgorspad sits in the quiet village of Watergang, a short distance from the water and open countryside.

Frequently asked questions
About Rietgorspad 1, Watergang
Is €3,000 per month a fair rent for this home?
The rent of €3,000 per month is on the high side compared with the local market. The home is a modern semi-detached house from 2019 with 156 m² of space and an A energy label, which are strong points. However, the neighbourhood has seen 17 rentals go in the past period, with an average time on the market of 8 days, so demand is clearly there. Whether the price feels fair depends on how much you value the new build and the quiet village setting.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is A, which is the most efficient category. This means the home is designed to keep energy consumption low, so heating and electricity costs should be relatively modest. The label is an official registration from EP-Online, and it reflects the overall energy performance of the property. For a home built in 2019, this is a strong result.
How far is the nearest supermarket?
The nearest supermarket is the Jumbo at about 2.6 km from the home. An Albert Heijn is at 2.8 km, and there are also a Lidl and a PLUS at around 3.2 km. For a village location, these distances are reasonable, though you would likely drive or cycle for a weekly shop. There are 19 supermarkets within 5 km, so you have plenty of choice.
What schools are nearby?
The closest primary school is Basisschool St.Augustinus at about 2 km, with Basisschool De Hoeksteen at 2.6 km and Openbare Basisschool De Stap at 2.7 km. There are 55 schools within 5 km, including several primary options. For secondary education, the nearest school is about 4.5 km away, so older children would have a bit of a journey.
How quickly do rentals go in this neighbourhood?
Homes in this neighbourhood are rented out in an average of 8 days, according to recent figures. In the past period, 17 rentals were completed, which shows a steady turnover. This suggests that properties here do not stay on the market for long, so if you are interested, the window to decide may be short. The demand appears consistent with the village's appeal.
What is the neighbourhood like in terms of demographics?
Watergang has about 555 residents, with a mix of ages. Around 39% of households have children, while 33% are single-person households. The largest age group is 45 to 65, making up 29% of the population, and 20% are 65 or older. It is a settled community with a family-friendly feel, and the rural setting adds to the calm atmosphere.
