Renting in Beuningen: what does it cost and what can you expect?
Beuningen is a municipality with around 26,700 residents, located between Nijmegen and the Waal river. Of the more than 11,300 homes, about 30% are rental properties. The majority of these (22% of the total stock) are owned by housing associations, meaning the private rental sector is relatively small. Only 8% of all homes are rented out by private or commercial landlords. This is reflected in the supply: in the past twelve months, only 25 homes were rented in the private sector, at an average rent of €1,711 per month. The range varies from €696 to €3,500 per month, but that average is driven up by spacious family homes. The average size of those rented homes was 172 m². If you want to rent an apartment in Beuningen, you will typically pay less, but supply is scarce. Check the overview at the top of this page for current daily prices and availability.
The location close to Nijmegen is a major plus. Via the A73 and the Waalbrug bridge, you can quickly reach the centre of Nijmegen, and you are also well connected towards Arnhem or 's-Hertogenbosch. At the same time, Beuningen is not a city: it is a collection of village centres with a rural character. This mainly attracts families and people seeking peace and quiet but not too far from the city. The labour participation rate is 67%, the average income is €38,000, and 43% of households are married. In short, it is a typical commuter municipality where the owner-occupied market is dominant.
The villages of Beuningen: where do you want to live?
The municipality of Beuningen consists of four villages, each with its own character. The resident scores on Buurtje.nl range from 6.9 to 8.1, so the differences are real. Below is an honest overview per village, so you know what to expect if you are considering renting a home in Beuningen.
Ewijk, the quiet green village
Ewijk scores 8.1 out of 10, the highest of all villages in the municipality. It is a small, close-knit village west of the main village of Beuningen, with plenty of greenery and a village character that residents clearly appreciate. If you are looking for a quiet place to live with children, this is a good choice. The level of amenities is limited (think a supermarket and primary school), but you can manage for daily shopping. For larger shops or nightlife, you will need to go to Beuningen or Nijmegen. Check the current supply in the Ewijk district.
Beuningen, the largest village with the most amenities
The village of Beuningen is the centre of the municipality and scores 7.5 among residents. Here you will find most shops, the health centre, sports facilities, and several schools. It is the place with the most rental supply, both social and private sector. Residents rate safety at 8.4 and greenery at 8.6, which is remarkably high for the largest village. One resident describes it as a place where you "live quietly but still have everything at hand." The scores for education (6.0) and amenities (6.8) do show that you need to go to Nijmegen for secondary schools and specialised shops. Read more reviews on the municipality page of Beuningen.
Weurt, affordable but with caveats
Weurt is closest to Nijmegen and scores 6.9 among residents. The village has a somewhat less strong image than Ewijk or Beuningen, partly due to the proximity of the industrial estate and busy roads. At the same time, this often makes it the place where rental homes are slightly more affordable. Accessibility is good, and for people who work in Nijmegen, Weurt is a logical choice. Do not expect a bustling village life, but rather a down-to-earth, no-nonsense residential village.
Then there is Winssen, the smallest village in the municipality. Winssen is truly rural: few amenities, but plenty of space and quiet. Rental homes in Beuningen's smallest village rarely come on the market, so if you find something here, you need to be quick. The community is close-knit, which for some is a plus and for others a barrier.
Who is renting a home in Beuningen suitable for?
Beuningen mainly attracts families and couples who want to escape the hustle and bustle of Nijmegen but still be within a quarter of an hour of the city. The largest age group (45-65 years) and the high proportion of households with children (4,229) confirm that picture. For starters or singles, it is more difficult: the private sector supply is small and with an average rent of €1,711 per month, not cheap. Social housing through the housing association is an option, but waiting times in this region are long. Make sure to register in time with Entree, the regional housing allocation system.
Are you looking for more urban amenities, nightlife, or a larger rental supply? Then a rental home in Arnhem or the municipality of Berg en Dal might be more suitable. Would you rather buy? With an average WOZ value of €377,000 and 70% owner-occupied homes, Beuningen is mainly a home-owning municipality. Check out homes for sale in Beuningen as an alternative. For those who prefer a more rural environment with possibly more space, Barneveld could also be interesting.
Practical tip: prepare your documents (employer's statement, payslips, ID) before going to viewings. With only 25 rented homes per year in the private sector, things move quickly, and landlords expect you to be able to sign immediately. Also inquire with the municipality of Beuningen about any permits or local regulations regarding renting.

It's a quiet neighbourhood, but we experience a lot of nuisance from traffic when the charity shop is open. They park wherever they want and drive much too fast. Also the owner/staff driving the trucks. It's a dead-end street but they drive like mad.
Auto-translated to English by AIReally village-like, mega conservative, little room to develop yourself, monotonous type of people, but a great location: close to beautiful nature and ten minutes by bike to Nijmegen city centre. Really a hidden gem!

Auto-translated to English by AIWe have never experienced anything unsafe or anything like that in this neighbourhood ourselves. It has a nice little park to walk the dogs and you can enjoy living in a detached house.
