Renting in Boshoven: a small private sector in an owner-occupied district
Boshoven is essentially an owner-occupied district. Of the approximately 2,770 homes, 80% are owner-occupied and only 20% are rental properties. The majority of those rental properties are owned by a housing association (15%), while private sector landlords form a small minority (5%). So anyone looking for a rental home in Boshoven outside the social housing sector has little choice. In the past twelve months, only five homes were rented out in the private sector, with an average rent of €2,660 per month. The range ran from €1,450 to €3,000 per month, with an average floor area of around 281 m². These are annual averages for the private sector, excluding social housing. For current rental prices and availability, you can consult the overview at the top of this page. The WOZ value in Boshoven is €337,000, slightly above the municipal average of Weert (€330,000), which confirms the owner-occupied character of the district.
Boshoven: quiet family district with a clear identity
Boshoven is not a district that stands out for its liveliness or a bustling centre. It is a quiet, green district on the west side of Weert, where families and middle-aged people set the tone. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years (nearly 2,000 residents), and over 44% of residents are married. More than a thousand households have children. That says something about the character: Boshoven is a place where people put down roots, not a district where you live temporarily.
On the district page of Boshoven, residents give the district a 7.3 out of 10. Green spaces score an 8.0 and safety even an 8.3, which matches the atmosphere you find there. Education receives the highest score with an 8.7, which is an important signal for families. Accessibility and community score lower, both a 6.3. That reflects what residents write in their reviews. Miriam Kneepkens gives the district a 6.8 and writes: "Very quiet. There are few to no activities. There are few amenities; if, like me, you have difficulty walking and cannot cycle or drive, you are dependent on others to get anywhere. The neighbourhood bus does not stop in this district, and the supermarket is also quite far away." That is an honest signal: if you don't have a car, you notice that Boshoven is not optimally accessible. Another resident describes it as "normally nice" and mentions that schools, shops and doctors are easily accessible for those who are mobile.
The sub-district Oud-Boshoven has a somewhat older streetscape, while Boshoven-Vrakker has a quieter, more rural character. For those who appreciate the space and greenery of the rural area, Boshoven buitengebied is also worth exploring. Boshoven is not a district for those seeking urban dynamism, but for those who value peace, safety and a green environment, it fits well.
Renting in Boshoven: for whom does this work, and for whom not?
Renting in Boshoven is most suitable for families with children who value safety, good schools and a quiet living environment, and who have a car or bicycle. The private sector supply is scarce and pricey: an average of €2,660 per month is a hefty rent. If you are looking for a social rental home, you are dependent on the housing association properties in the district, but there is usually a waiting period. If you are single, younger, or dependent on public transport, then Boshoven is less obvious. In that case, also consider the owner-occupied homes in Boshoven as an alternative, or check the supply in surrounding districts.

Very quiet. There are few to no activities. There are few amenities; if, like me, you have difficulty walking and cannot cycle or drive, you are dependent on others to get anywhere. The neighbourhood bus does not stop in this area, and the supermarket is also quite a distance away. Furthermore, there is nothing else nearby except 2 chip shops, a kebab shop, a sushi place, a café, and a church. But even those are a long walk away!!
