Renting in Brummen: an honest picture of the local rental market
The municipality of Brummen, with over 21,000 residents, is a relatively small, green municipality on the Veluwe, close to the IJssel. Of the nearly 9,650 homes, 37% are rental properties. The majority of these, around 31% of the total stock, are owned by housing associations such as Veluwonen. Only 6% are rented out by private or commercial landlords, making the supply in the free sector quite limited. In the past twelve months, only 15 homes have been rented in the free sector, at an average rent of €1,388 per month. The range runs from €616 to €3,500 per month, with an average floor area of 177 m². This wide spread is because it includes both compact apartments and spacious detached houses. Would you like to see the current daily price and available supply? Then check the overview at the top of this page.
Brummen is not a city with a bustling rental market. That must be said honestly. The supply is small, turnover is low, and anyone looking for a rental home needs patience. Social housing is allocated via the regional housing distribution system, and waiting times are long. For the free sector: little becomes available, but when something is available, prices are reasonable by Gelderland standards given the space you get. The municipality itself provides information on housing policy and zoning plans via brummen.nl.
Neighbourhoods in the municipality of Brummen: where do you want to live?
The municipality of Brummen consists of several centres, each with its own character. The resident ratings on this site give a good picture of what it is really like. On average, the municipality scores 8.1 out of 10, with notably high scores for safety (8.4) and accessibility (8.3). But there are certainly differences between neighbourhoods.
Eerbeek, the industrial heart with village charm
With a perfect 10.0 from residents, Eerbeek is the highest-rated centre. Eerbeek is the largest village in the municipality and has its own character due to the paper industry that has been established here for centuries. You will find a compact shopping centre, primary schools, sports clubs and the Veluwezwembad. The village is nestled between forests and the Veluwe, making it attractive for families and people who love nature. The rental housing supply here mainly consists of association homes from Veluwonen. One resident describes it as a place where you quickly become part of the community.
The village of Brummen, quiet centre on the IJssel
The centre of Brummen gives its name to the municipality and scores a 7.8 from residents based on 6 reviews. The village has a station on the Zutphen-Arnhem line, which is a great advantage for commuters. You can be in Zutphen in 20 minutes and at Arnhem Central in 40 minutes. There are shops for daily groceries, a library and various catering establishments around the Markt. The atmosphere is village-like and quiet, sometimes a bit too quiet for those used to urban amenities. Residents particularly appreciate the beauty of the surroundings (8.3) and safety (8.4).
Hall and Leuvenheim, rural and small-scale
For those seeking true peace and quiet, Hall (neighbourhood score 8.8) and Leuvenheim (neighbourhood score 7.1) are interesting. Hall is a small hamlet on the Veluwe with hardly any amenities, but with a rural setting that is second to none. Leuvenheim is closer to the IJssel and has slightly more buildings, but remains a small village where you know your neighbours. The rental housing supply in these centres is minimal; when something becomes available, it is often through word of mouth or a local estate agent.
In addition, there are the small centres of Empe and Tonden, each with a handful of homes and purely agricultural in character. Renting here is exceptional, but not impossible if you are looking for a farmhouse or rural property. Check the municipal page for Brummen for all resident reviews and sub-scores per category.
Who is renting a home in Brummen suitable for?
Brummen is mainly attractive for people who consciously choose peace, space and nature, and who are not dependent on urban amenities. Think of dual-income earners who work in Apeldoorn, Zutphen or Arnhem and come home to a green environment in the evening. The largest age group in the municipality is 45-65 years old, and you notice that: this is not a starter municipality. Anyone who wants to rent an apartment in Brummen as a starter soon ends up with social housing with associated waiting times, or in the free sector where prices are too high for a small budget.
Practical tips: register with Veluwonen as soon as possible if you want to be eligible for social housing. Do you have a higher income and are you looking in the free sector? Then prepare your documents (employer's statement, payslips, ID) so that you can respond immediately when something becomes available. Supply is scarce, so acting quickly is essential. Also consider homes for sale in Brummen as an alternative, especially given the average WOZ value of €372,000, which can still be achievable by Gelderland standards. Be honest with yourself: if you depend on extensive public transport, lots of catering or cultural facilities, then renting a home in Brummen may not be the best choice.

Friendly residents, tidy surroundings and well-maintained infrastructure
Auto-translated to English by AIThis was a joke by some friends, very strange that this gets posted immediately. The house is very tidy, nice neighbourhood and lovely people. Vera is a very nice girl! Just kidding and thanks
Auto-translated to English by AIVery ordinary neighbourhood, nothing interesting about it. About 1 playground, and for the rest only houses. That was pretty much it. It is very safe though, nothing has ever happened here as far as I know. Hygiene is also good, no litter on the streets. The house is well located and accessibility is also good, you get to the roundabout on Rijen, turn right and tada, you're on the Pothof. There are 0 schools in my own neighbourhood, so that could be better in my opinion. There aren't really enough trees, plants, etc., which in my opinion makes it just a bit bare. And there are 0 amenities on the Pothof, outside the Pothof of course.

In addition, the primary school fulfils an important function in the village. The village has a close-knit community.
