Rental homes in Centrum, Maashorst

Rental prices and market figures Centrum, Maashorst

The Centrum neighbourhood in Maashorst is predominantly a rental neighbourhood: 59% of the approximately 2,387 homes are rented, compared to 41% owner-occupied. Of these, 34% are owned by a housing association (social housing) and 25% by other landlords (private sector and private rental). In the private sector, 20 homes were rented over the past twelve months for an average of €1,222 per month, with a range of €925 to €1,850 per month. The average floor area was 84 m², which equates to approximately €14.55 per m². These figures apply only to the private sector and exclude social housing. The WOZ value in Centrum is €272,000, which is clearly lower than the average in the Uden district (€363,000) and the Maashorst municipal average (€384,000). This lower WOZ level reflects the type of housing in the neighbourhood: relatively many multi-family homes, apartments and older housing association stock.

Living in Centrum, Maashorst

The Centrum of Maashorst falls administratively under the core of Uden, the largest core of the municipality. The neighbourhood is compact and walkable: if you rent a home here, you live a stone's throw from daily amenities. That is precisely what distinguishes the neighbourhood from surrounding residential areas such as Bogerd-Vijfhuis or Flatwijk, which are quieter and greener but less directly adjacent to the shopping streets.

In terms of buildings, Centrum largely consists of post-war buildings from the 1950s to 1970s, supplemented by later urban renewal. You will find porch flats, ground-level terraced houses and smaller apartment complexes. The housing stock is therefore diverse, although large single-family homes with gardens are scarce in this part of Uden.

Amenities

The amenities score of 8.8 out of 10 is no coincidence. Resident Ej describes it as follows: "Friendly, social, supermarket, shops, town hall. Supermarket with all kinds of products, GP nearby and pharmacy next door, plenty of parking, lots of greenery." The shopping centre of Uden, including several supermarkets, clothing stores, restaurants and the town hall, is directly in or adjacent to the neighbourhood. For school-age children, there are primary schools in the immediate vicinity; the resident score for education is 7.7. Sports facilities are available through the various clubs that Uden has, although the largest sports complex is slightly outside the neighbourhood itself. The combination of healthcare, shops and public administration within walking distance is for many residents the decisive argument for wanting to live here.

Accessibility

Accessibility scores the highest of all categories: 8.8. Uden does not have a train station, but bus connections via the Hermelijnstraat and the bus station in the centre connect the neighbourhood with surrounding cores and with Oss, 's-Hertogenbosch and Veghel. From Uden, you can quickly drive via the A50 towards Eindhoven (approximately 35 minutes) or Nijmegen (approximately 40 minutes). For cyclists, the centre of Uden is of course within cycling distance of itself, and connections to adjacent districts such as Moleneind-Groenewoud and Schutveld are good. Parking in the centre is partly paid or regulated via car parks; resident Ej explicitly mentions the "plenty of parking", which indicates that this is manageable in practice.

Atmosphere and residents

The neighbourhood has 3,420 inhabitants, of which the largest group is those aged 65 and over (1,500 people). Single-person households are dominant (1,385 of the households), which determines the character of the neighbourhood: it is not a typical family neighbourhood, but a place where the elderly, singles and smaller households set the tone. Ferdinand puts it positively: "Great to live here and provide care to the elderly who live here." Leon succinctly describes the atmosphere as "pleasant". The overall resident score on the neighbourhood page of Centrum is 7.8 out of 10, based on four reviews. Greenery (7.3) and beauty (7.2) score somewhat lower, which fits a centre neighbourhood with relatively little space for parks. Safety scores 8.0, although resident Davy notes the presence of an asylum seekers' centre in the neighbourhood.

If you are considering renting an apartment in Centrum, it is a good idea to also read the neighbourhood page for a complete picture of what residents appreciate and what they like less.

Does renting in Centrum suit you as a tenant?

Centrum is most suitable for singles, seniors and two-person households who value proximity to amenities and do not need a large garden. Starters renting a home in Centrum can benefit from the relatively lower WOZ level compared to the rest of Maashorst, although the private sector prices (average €1,222 per month) are not low. Families with children looking for space would be better off looking at surrounding neighbourhoods or at rental homes elsewhere in the municipality of Maashorst. For social housing, register with the local housing association; waiting lists are long in many Brabant centre cores, so start early. As an alternative, it is also worth looking at the supply of homes for sale in Centrum, especially now that the WOZ value here is lower than in the rest of the municipality. More information about living and policy in the municipality can be found on the website of the municipality of Maashorst.
