Living in De Elzen, Land van Cuijk

De Elzen is a quiet, predominantly green residential neighbourhood on the edge of Boxmeer. The name is no coincidence, referring to alder trees: the neighbourhood has a green character with wide streets, shrubs and small parks that give the area a somewhat rural feel. Most of the homes date from the 1960s and 1970s and mainly consist of single-family homes and porch flats in terraced housing. There are also some detached houses, although these are more likely to be found on the edges of the neighbourhood. The buildings are solid but sober, typical of post-war Brabant. The neighbourhood does not feel like an average new-build estate: there is character in the planting and the scale of the streets invites walking.

Who is renting in De Elzen interesting for?

This makes De Elzen particularly a neighbourhood for people seeking peace and stability, such as the elderly, couples looking for tranquillity and people who consciously choose a quiet living environment away from the hustle and bustle of a city centre. Starters and young people are less represented, partly because the private sector rental market supply is limited. If you are looking for a social rental home, it is advisable to register in time with the regional housing association, as waiting lists in this region can be long. Families with children can live here comfortably, although the limited local facilities require some willingness to cycle or drive. As an alternative to renting, it is also worth looking at the supply of homes for sale in De Elzen, especially given the relatively favourable WOZ value compared to the rest of the municipality.
