With 18,118 people, 7,272 houses or apartments, and a median cost of homes of $214,656, house prices in Nederland are solidly below the national average.
Single-family detached homes are the single most common housing type in Nederland, accounting for 82.13% of the city's housing units. Other types of housing that are prevalent in Nederland include large apartment complexes or high rise apartments ( 9.36%), mobile homes or trailers ( 3.24%), and a few duplexes, homes converted to apartments or other small apartment buildings ( 3.09%).
Owner-occupied, three and four bedroom dwellings, primarily in single-family detached homes are the most prevalent type of housing you will see in Nederland. Owner-occupied housing accounts for 72.33% of Nederland's homes, and 75.31% have either three or four bedrooms, which is average sized relative to America.
At the end of World War II, American soldiers returned home triumphant and, with the help of the GI Bill, built homes by the millions on the edges of America's cities. These homes were predominantly capes and ranches, modest in size, but built to house a growing middle-class as the 20th century became the American century. Nederland's housing was primarily built during this period, from the '40s through the '60s. A full 44.29% of the city's housing hails from this era. Other housing ages represented in Nederland include homes built between 1970-1999 ( 34.12%) and housing constructed between 2000 and later ( 18.58%). There's also some housing in Nederland built before 1939 ( 3.02%).
Vacant housing appears to be an issue in Nederland. Fully 10.47% of the housing stock is classified as vacant. Left unchecked, vacant Nederland homes and apartments can be a drag on the real estate market, holding Nederland real estate prices below levels they could achieve if vacant housing was absorbed into the market and became occupied. Housing vacancy rates are a useful measure to consider, along with other things, if you are a home buyer or a real estate investor.
