Rental homes in De Groote Wielen, Den Bosch

What does renting cost in the water neighbourhood De Groote Wielen?

Anyone looking for a rental home in this part of Den Bosch must reckon with a hefty price tag and a tight market. De Groote Wielen is a modern, sought-after neighbourhood where the WOZ value, at an average of €471,000, is significantly above the city average of €398,000. This price level is directly reflected in the monthly costs. In the free sector, the average rent over the past twelve months was €1,543 per month, with outliers ranging from €1,180 to as high as €2,595 for large single-family homes on the water. For current daily prices, we refer you to the overview at the top of this page.

The challenge lies mainly in availability. Only 10% of the total housing stock is designated for private rental (free sector). Although 33% of the neighbourhood consists of rental homes, the majority (23%) is owned by housing associations and thus social housing with long waiting lists. With only about 30 turnovers in the free sector per year, renting a house in De Groote Wielen is a matter of quick reactions and a well-filled wallet. The median income in the neighbourhood, at €51,600, is well above the Den Bosch average, indicating that you live among affluent neighbours here. If renting doesn't work out, looking at homes for sale in De Groote Wielen is often the logical next step for home seekers.

Space, water and high resident satisfaction

Living in De Groote Wielen feels to many residents like being on holiday a little bit every day, and that's no exaggeration when you look at the layout of the neighbourhood. The water (the large lake) is central, and the reviews don't lie: an average score of 8.9. Safety (9.5) and the quality of housing (9.5) are particularly highly rated. It is quiet, clean and spacious here. Resident Sanne aptly describes the atmosphere in her review: "Things are often organised in the neighbourhood. It's cosy and everything is nice and close by." She gives the neighbourhood a solid 9.6.

Yet it is important to know that each area here has its own character. For example, there is De Watertuinen, where you literally live on the water, or the more urban Centrum De Groote Wielen where amenities are just around the corner. Another popular area is Broekland, known for its child-friendliness and green layout. Resident Joop van de Horst is honest about this in his review: "A cosy, child-friendly neighbourhood with a few too many dogs and far too many cats." He particularly appreciates that the area is spacious and that shops are within walking distance. You can find such honest details on the neighbourhood page of De Groote Wielen, where you can delve deeper into the statistics and opinions.

The neighbourhood is designed for modern family life. With an average living area of 115m², the rental homes here are considerably larger than in the city centre. Accessibility scores an 8.5, which is fine, although you'll need to travel a bit for true city entertainment to the centre of Den Bosch. The amenities within the neighbourhood itself (score 8.5) are excellent for daily use: schools, supermarkets and health centres are all present. Looking for something in a specific sub-area? Then also check out the offerings in De Lanen or the more rural De Groote Vliet.

Is this neighbourhood the right match for your household?

De Groote Wielen is particularly suitable for families and couples seeking peace and space, but with high-quality amenities. The demographics confirm this: the 25-45 age group is the largest (3,410 residents) and households with children form the majority (2,215). Renting a home here is ideal for expats or families waiting for a home to buy, provided the income is sufficient. Are you a starter, single, or looking for a vibrant nightlife within walking distance? Then you will probably feel less at home here, and it is smarter to look at the city centre or the lively neighbourhood Muntel / Vliert. Also, the supply for seniors (65+) is relatively limited in the free rental sector.
