Renting a home in Bergeijk: an honest picture of the rental market

Bergeijk is a green municipality in the Brabant Kempen with around 19,200 residents, spread across several village cores. The housing market here is heavily focused on owner-occupied homes: 78% of the more than 8,200 homes are owner-occupied. Only 22% are rental properties, of which 13% are owned by housing associations and 9% by other landlords. This means that the rental supply is limited, especially in the private sector. In the past twelve months, 34 private-sector homes were rented out in Bergeijk, at an average rent of €1,925 per month. The range runs from €650 to €2,995 per month, with an average floor area of 168 m². These are substantial amounts for a rural municipality, but it reflects the type of homes available here: often spacious family homes or detached houses. For current daily prices and the latest supply, you can consult the overview at the top of this page. Social housing is managed by housing associations such as Woningbelang, and waiting lists apply. Anyone looking for a rental home quickly in the private sector should therefore expect limited supply and relatively high rents.

The location of Bergeijk is a major plus point. You are about 15 kilometres from Eindhoven, with the Brainport region as a major employer nearby. At the same time, you live here in the middle of greenery, with the Kempen as your backyard. The municipality of Bergeijk actively works to preserve that rural character, which explains its appeal to families and nature lovers.

The village cores of Bergeijk: where do you want to rent?

Bergeijk is not a compact city but a collection of villages and hamlets, each with its own character. This makes choosing a neighbourhood here different from in a city. You are essentially choosing a village. Residents give the municipality as a whole a 9.1 out of 10, with notably high scores for accessibility (10), greenery (10) and amenities (10). Check all resident reviews and neighbourhood information for Bergeijk for the full picture.

Buitengebied, the heart of the Kempen

The Buitengebied of Bergeijk scores a 9.1 from residents and is thus the best-rated neighbourhood with reviews. Here you live truly rurally, among fields, forests and fens. One resident rates accessibility a 10 and notes that despite the peace, you are quickly on the A67 towards Eindhoven. Greenery also scores a perfect 10. This is the place for those seeking space and quiet, but the rental supply here is scarce and mainly consists of detached homes in the higher price segment.

Bergeijk 't Hof, the village centre

Bergeijk 't Hof is the core around the Hof, the historic heart of the village of Bergeijk. Here you will find most amenities: supermarkets, hospitality venues, the community centre and primary schools. For renters looking for a home with amenities within walking distance, this is the most practical choice. The village character is strong: you know your neighbours, there are clubs and an active community life.

Luyksgestel and the other cores

The village of Luyksgestel lies close to the Belgian border and has its own independent character with basic amenities, a church and an active club life. It is even quieter than Bergeijk village itself. Riethoven is a small, close-knit village popular with families due to its safe, clear layout. Westerhoven and Weebosch are the smallest cores, where the supply of rental homes is very limited, but the peace and sense of community are at their maximum. Finally, there is 't Loo, a somewhat newer expansion neighbourhood of Bergeijk with more single-family homes. In all these cores, the social network is close-knit, and newcomers need time to settle in. The community score of 9.0 confirms that residents feel at home here once they have put down roots.

Who is renting in Bergeijk suitable for, and who is it not?

Bergeijk is particularly suitable for families and couples who work in the Eindhoven region but prefer to live rurally. The combination of space, nature and good road accessibility to Brainport makes it attractive. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years old, and 45% of households are married. That paints the picture: this is an established, stable residential municipality. Renting an apartment in Bergeijk is difficult, simply because the supply mainly consists of single-family homes and larger houses. Starters and single people with a smaller budget will find it harder here. With an average rent of €1,925 in the private sector, renting a home in Bergeijk is a serious investment. Those eligible for social housing would do well to register early with the regional housing association. Be prepared for waiting lists in this region that can be several years.

Also be honest with yourself about public transport: Bergeijk has no train station, and bus connections are limited. Without a car, it is difficult to live here. Would you rather consider buying?
