Rental homes in Centrum, Oss

What does a rental property cost in the centre of Oss?

The Centre of Oss is predominantly a rental district: 62% of the more than 3,450 homes are rental properties. Of these, 38% are owned by housing associations and 24% by other landlords (private sector and private individuals). This is a remarkably high rental percentage compared to the rest of Oss, where owner-occupied homes usually dominate. The average WOZ value is €264,000, well below the municipal average of €346,000. This makes the centre more attractive for tenants who do not want or cannot buy immediately. In the private sector (excluding social housing), the average rent over the past year was €1,185 per month, with a range of €905 to €1,795. The average private-sector apartment measures around 77 m².

Living between the Heuvel and the Lievekamp: how do residents experience the Centre?

Residents of the Centre rate their district a 6.3 out of 10 on Buurtje.nl. That is not an outstanding score, and if you read the reviews, you understand why. Accessibility scores highest at 7.7: Oss station is within walking distance, bus lines stop at the Lievekamp, and by car you are quickly on the A59. Green spaces score a 7.0, although resident Bas qualifies this: "There is a bit less nature, I would like to see more nature in my neighbourhood." If you are looking for plenty of greenery, you are better off in a suburban district.

The downside is clear. In terms of safety, the district scores a 6.3. One resident writes bluntly: "This neighbourhood has many people with knives on fatbikes and is really not safe." That is a signal to take seriously, especially if you walk through the pedestrian area around the Heuvel in the evening. The community score (5.7) and the rating for education (5.7) are also on the low side. At the same time, another resident reports a "good experience" without major complaints. Bas describes the neighbourhood as "standard" with nice people, but notes that there are many older residents, which can feel less sociable for younger tenants. This matches the figures: the group of over-65s (1,760) is almost as large as the group of 25- to 45-year-olds (1,785).

In terms of amenities, you are of course well placed in the centre. The weekly market on the Grote Markt, supermarkets on the Molenstraat, hospitality venues around the Heuvel and the Jan Cunen Cultural Centre are all within walking distance. For more extensive shopping, shopping centre De Burcht is nearby. If you want to delve deeper into the figures and read all resident reviews of Centrum, you can find them on the district page. The neighbourhoods within the centre each have their own character: Centrum-West around the Walplein is a bit quieter, while the northern part is closer to the station. Centrum-Zuid borders the canals and offers a bit more space. The municipality of Oss is investing in the redevelopment of the centre area in the coming years, which could improve liveability in the long term.

Renting in Centrum: for whom and for whom not?

With 2,125 single-person households, the centre is clearly the domain of singles, starters and younger workers. The average income of €31,600 is below the Oss average of €35,500, which fits the profile of private-sector tenants renting an apartment here. If you are a family with children looking for space and a garden, the centre is less suitable. Consider a district like Oss-Zuid or Krinkelhoek, where you will find more single-family homes. If you prefer to buy in this district, you can view the supply of owner-occupied homes in Centrum, although at 38% owner-occupied homes it is more limited than elsewhere in Oss. The labour participation rate of 61% is relatively low, partly due to the high number of pensioners in the district.
