Apartments, rooms and studios for rent in Goes

Goes is the market town of Zuid-Beveland, a town of 37,274 people in the middle of Zeeland, and most people who rent here come for a job in the region, for family, or for a calmer life than the Randstad offers. Based on over 700 listings tracked by RentHunter in Goes since February 2024, the average rent is €1,159 a month for an average of 68 m², and 80% of listings ask between €474 and €1,850.

Rentals in Goes move slowly. About 5 homes are newly listed per week on RentHunter, counted over the 28 days to October 2026, and new listings from the 90 days to October 2026 ask a median of €764. The hard part in Goes is not the price but the small number of homes that come up.

Expat-targeted listings make up 10% of the market and student-targeted listings 9%, which tells you who landlords write for: local households, people moving in from elsewhere in the Netherlands, and staff starting a job in Zeeland. The average deposit is 1.33 months of rent.

In the old centre they are often upstairs flats above shops, while the districts outside the ring have newer blocks with a lift; 34% of all listings in Goes mention a balcony.

  Families who need two or three bedrooms should check houses for rent in Goes every few days, because a new house comes up far less often than a new apartment.

Goes has no university campus, so the room market serves young workers, interns and trainees more than first-year students; students of HZ University of Applied Sciences mostly look in Middelburg and Vlissingen.
  Most rooms for rent in Goes share a kitchen and bathroom, and many are in family houses on the edge of the centre. Ask whether the rent includes energy and internet before you compare it with a studio.

Goes lies between two waters, the Oosterschelde to the north and the Veerse Meer to the northwest, and daily life turns around the Grote Markt. The town is the shopping and hospital centre for much of Zuid-Beveland and Noord-Beveland, so many residents also work in Goes itself.

The centre of Goes is small enough to walk from the station to the old harbour. On Tuesdays the weekly market fills the Grote Markt in front of the Grote Kerk, and the main shopping street, Lange Kerkstraat, runs off the square.

Upstairs apartments in the centre put you next to all of this without a car, which matters in a town where 25% of listings mention parking. The old harbour, linked to the Oosterschelde by a canal, has quieter addresses on the water, a few minutes on foot from the market.

The municipality of Goes also covers several villages, and they rent differently from the town. Kloetinge, just southeast of the centre, is a village of mostly family homes, and Wolphaartsdijk lies on the Veerse Meer, where sailing and water sports set the pace in summer.

If the supply in Goes is too thin, widen the search to Borsele to the south, or to Tholen across the Oosterschelde toward Bergen op Zoom. Both are a short drive away and both have their own village rental market.

Goes station is on the Zeeland railway line between Vlissingen and Roosendaal, and the A58 motorway runs along the south of the town. Middelburg, the provincial capital, is on the same line to the west, so people who work there can rent in Goes and the other way round. The times below are by public transit.

Rotterdam is the nearest large city from Goes, about 86 minutes by public transit for 107 km. A daily return trip is possible but long, so the commute suits a job with some days of working from home more than a five-day office week.

Den Haag is about 107 minutes from Goes by public transit (130 km) and Eindhoven about 120 minutes (133 km). Amsterdam takes about 124 minutes and Utrecht about 136, so from Goes the big cities work for an occasional office day, not for a daily commute.
