BeijumRent Prices 2026
Our Verdict
"Smart Money"
With a median price of €15/m², Beijum is a definitive SMART_MONEY move for renters who find the city center's prices offensive. Our neighborhood analysis shows that while the layout is a nightmare for delivery drivers, the m² stats offer way more breathing room than the Korrewegwijk for the same cash. The investment outlook remains stable because the city's housing shortage is forcing everyone to finally realize that a 15-minute bike ride isn't actually that far.
The Vibe:Beijum is a sprawling 'bloemkoolwijk' where the winding cul-de-sacs (heerds) are designed to confuse anyone who doesn't live there. It is a dense mix of 1970s social housing and private family rentals that swaps city noise for quick access to the Kardinge recreation hill. The Line 4 bus is the main artery connecting this northern pocket to the Grote Markt, usually filled with commuters who've traded central zip codes for an actual garden.

Locals Ask
Is parking actually free in Beijum?
Mostly yes, you can ditch the expensive permit lifestyle found in the center and park on the street without a QR code.
How long is the bike ride to the University (RUG)?
Budget 15 to 20 minutes; the headwind crossing the Korrewegbrug will be your biggest enemy on that commute.
Why are the m² stats lower here than in Lewenborg?
Beijum has a massive stock of older social-sector conversions which keeps the average rent anchored compared to Lewenborg's newer developments.
What is the deal with the 'heerds'?
It's a layout style intended to stop through-traffic, creating quiet pockets that are great for quiet living but impossible to navigate without GPS.
Is Beijum considered safe?
It’s a standard residential area; some spots look a bit grey and dated, but it's mostly just families and retirees minding their own business.
