Rental prices and market figures De Buitenpepers, Den Bosch
In De Buitenpepers, 41% of the housing stock consists of rental properties, compared to 59% owner-occupied homes. This makes it a mixed neighbourhood where renting and owning coexist. Of all homes, 22% are owned by a housing association (social rent) and 19% belong to other landlords (private sector). This ratio is useful to know: a significant part of the rental stock therefore falls under social housing, with associated income assessment and waiting list.
For the private sector: over the past twelve months, six homes were rented out with an average rent of €1,532 per month (excluding social rent). The range was between €1,490 and €1,540 per month. These are private-sector prices; social housing rents are significantly lower. Because the average surface area is missing from the available data, a reliable price per m² cannot be calculated. The average WOZ value in De Buitenpepers is €353,000, which is higher than the district average of Noord (€331,000) but lower than the municipal average of Den Bosch (€398,000). The neighbourhood thus positions itself as an affordable alternative within the municipality. For current rental prices and the most recent supply, see the overview at the top of this page.
Living in De Buitenpepers, Den Bosch
De Buitenpepers is a quiet, predominantly residential neighbourhood in the district Noord, on the north side of Den Bosch. The neighbourhood has a mixed character: post-war terraced houses and porch flats from the 1960s and 1970s alternate with later added ground-based homes. The streetscape is green and relatively quiet, without the hustle and bustle of the city centre but also without the anonymity of large-scale new-build estates. With 2,185 residents and a WOZ value slightly below the municipal average, it is an accessible neighbourhood for people who combine urban living with a somewhat slower pace.

One resident writes on the neighbourhood page of De Buitenpepers: "Nice, quiet neighbourhood to live in. You can quickly reach the centre by bike, but at home you notice little of the city's bustle." Criticisms that recur are the limited shopping options in the neighbourhood itself and the state of maintenance of older homes in housing association ownership. See all reviews and scores on the neighbourhood page for a complete picture.
Compared to neighbouring De Haren, which has a slightly greener and more family-oriented character, De Buitenpepers is more compact and urban in design.
