Rental homes in Binnenstad, Helmond

What does a rental property cost in the Binnenstad of Helmond?

The Binnenstad of Helmond is predominantly a rental neighbourhood. As many as 72% of the more than 8,690 homes are rental properties, and more than half of those (52%) are owned by housing corporations. This means that a large part of the supply consists of social housing, but in the private sector you pay an average of €1,353 per month. The range runs from about €741 to €2,100 per month, with an average floor area of 79 m². That is not cheap by Brabant standards, especially considering that the average WOZ value here is €232,000, well below the Helmond average of €312,000. The average income in the neighbourhood, at €30,300, is also lower than the €35,000 in the rest of Helmond. Renting in Binnenstad is therefore relatively affordable in terms of property value, but private sector rents put a heavy strain on many residents' budgets.

Living in the Helmondse Binnenstad: cosy, but with caveats

On Buurtje.nl, residents rate the Binnenstad an 8.1 out of 10. That is a decent score, but behind that average lie varying experiences. The green spaces in the neighbourhood score notably high: a 9.3. That may sound surprising for a city centre, but those who live here know that via the Zuidelijke Kanaalzone and Berkendonk you are quickly in green surroundings. Amenities also score strongly with an 8.8. That makes sense, because around the Markt and Havenpark you will find everything: supermarkets, hospitality venues, the library and the Speelhuis. Accessibility (8.2) is good thanks to Helmond station nearby in Stationsgebied, with direct trains to Eindhoven and beyond.

Resident Maryan, who has lived there for ten years, describes it as follows: "Quite a quiet and cosy neighbourhood. Not too busy." That image holds true for parts of the neighbourhood, especially in the quieter areas such as Leonardus and Annabuurt en Suytkade. But there is also another side. One resident gives the neighbourhood a 6.0 and complains about poor garden maintenance, litter and a lack of enforcement. "Houses are being renovated and insulated on the outside, but residents remain the same," this person writes. The cleanliness score of 7.2 confirms that picture: it is not dirty, but not tidy everywhere either. Anyone looking to rent an apartment in Binnenstad would do well to check out the street before signing.

Around the Centrum it is livelier, with shops along the Steenweg and the weekly market. The Steenweg en omgeving neighbourhood attracts a mix of young and old. Education scores an 8.3, which fits a neighbourhood with several primary schools and the proximity of the ROC.

The municipality of Helmond has been investing in the redevelopment of the city centre in recent years, but residents notice that the effects are not yet visible everywhere.

Does a rental home in the Binnenstad suit you?

With 4,670 single-person households and a large group aged 25 to 45, the Binnenstad is popular among singles and young couples. The high proportion of corporation homes makes it accessible for starters with a lower income, although the waiting time for social housing in Helmond is long. The private sector, with an average of €1,353 per month, is mainly interesting for workers with a modal salary. Families with children will find amenities and schools here, but the limited green spaces right around the corner and the varying state of maintenance in some streets are points to consider. Those who prefer to buy can look at owner-occupied homes in Binnenstad, where the WOZ value is significantly below the municipal average. For those seeking more space and a greener streetscape, renting a home in 't Hout or Brouwhuis is worth considering.
