Hardenberg is a town of 60,211 people on the Vecht river in the north east of Overijssel, close to the Drenthe border and to Germany. Imagine cycling along the Vecht to the station, then taking the direct regional train to Zwolle: that is how many renters combine a Hardenberg home with work further west.

The municipality also covers villages such as Dedemsvaart, Gramsbergen and Slagharen, home of the Slagharen theme park, so a rental listing under Hardenberg can sit in the town itself or in one of these villages.

The Hardenberg rental market averages €961 a month, and 80% of listings ask between €536 and €1,383. Homes first seen on RentHunter in the 90 days to November 2026 ask a median €823, so current asking rents sit below the long run average.

Space comes easier than in a city: 44% of listings mention a garden, 34% a balcony and 15% parking. 86% state that you can register at the address, the deposit averages 0.47 months of rent, and 10% of homes come furnished.

Expats are a small group, with 8% of listings aimed at them, while 20% target students, a high share for a town without a university. If a listing is for students, ask whether it comes with a student contract that ends when you stop studying.

The Hardenberg rental market is almost entirely apartments and houses, with 308 apartment and 291 house listings, while a room or studio is rarely available. A single renter or student in Hardenberg therefore usually looks for a small apartment rather than a room.
