Epe is a Veluwe municipality in Gelderland made up of the villages Epe, Vaassen, Emst and Oene, with forest on its western side and farmland toward Oene in the east. Flats here suit working couples, older residents moving out of a family house and small families who want space at village prices. Epe has no railway station, so residents rely on the bus or the car toward Apeldoorn and Zwolle. For houses and every other type, see all rentals in Epe.

A one-bedroom flat in Epe averages about €746 a month, based on 40 listings, well below the overall apartment average of €987. These are the apartments for single renters, starters and older residents downsizing, and they make up a large share of what comes up in Epe.

That is the size couples and small families look for, with a second bedroom for a child or a home office. 51% of apartment listings mention a balcony and 6% a garden, so outdoor space in Epe usually means a balcony.

If you need a furnished apartment, for a first year in the Netherlands or a temporary job, widen the search to the city next door and compare furnished apartments in Apeldoorn. Since 1 July 2024 leases in the Netherlands are open-ended by default, so a flat for rent in Epe normally comes with a lease without an end date; fixed terms are limited to exceptions such as student and youth contracts.

• Epe village, errands on foot Epe itself is the largest village, with the main shopping street, supermarkets and the town hall. A flat near the centre suits renters who want to do their daily errands on foot.
• Vaassen, closest to Apeldoorn Vaassen lies south of Epe village, closer to Apeldoorn, and is known for Kasteel Cannenburch at the edge of the village. It suits commuters who work in Apeldoorn and want a shorter trip.
• Emst, quiet by the Veluwe woods Emst is a smaller village between Epe and Vaassen, close to the Veluwe forest. Apartments are rare here, so it suits renters who prefer a quiet street and accept a smaller choice.
• Oene, farmland to the east Oene lies east of Epe among farmland and is mostly houses. If you want a similar village setting with more flats to choose from, check the apartments in Heerde, the next municipality to the north.

For about €987 a month, the average since February 2024, an apartment in Epe offers around 80 m². The spread is wide: 80% of listings fall between €558 and €1,450, so compare floor area and service costs rather than the rent alone. If Epe has nothing available that week, apartments in Nunspeet, on the Veluwe edge to the north west, are another Gelderland option.

Practical points matter in a village market. 73% of listings state that registration is possible; you must register with the gemeente Epe within 5 days of moving in, online with DigiD if you move within the Netherlands. Landlords usually ask for ID, an employment contract or other proof of income and recent payslips, and the deposit is capped at two months of base rent for leases signed since 1 July 2023.
