Housing association ownership is minimal: 1% is owned by a housing association, 2% falls under other landlords.

In the free sector (excluding social rent), one home was rented out in De Vallei last year, at a rent of €1,065 per month. That is the only data point available, so do not draw broad conclusions from it, but it does give an indication of the price level. By comparison, the average WOZ value in De Vallei is €658,000, well above the district average of De Hoge Wal (€486,000) and significantly above the municipal average of Goirle (€410,000).

Living in De Vallei, Goirle

De Vallei is a quiet, mature residential neighbourhood on the edge of Goirle. With 290 residents, it is one of the smaller neighbourhoods in the municipality, and that is noticeable: it is quiet, green and well-organised here. The housing stock mainly consists of detached homes and semi-detached homes from the 1980s and 1990s, with spacious plots and plenty of greenery in the gardens and along the streets. It is not a neighbourhood you walk through by chance, but a place people consciously choose.

The population composition says a lot about the character of the neighbourhood. The largest age group is 65-plus (100 of the 290 residents), followed by the 45-65 age group. Young families and students are clearly less represented here. More than half of the households are married, and most households are without children. The average income is €43,100, above the municipal average of €38,200, and 55% of residents have a high level of education. That paints a picture of a neighbourhood of established, mostly older residents who have lived here for years.

Does a rental home in De Vallei suit you?

De Vallei is not a neighbourhood for everyone looking for a rental home.

The neighbourhood mainly attracts people who appreciate peace, space and a green living environment. Starters and students will find little suitable supply here, and the supply is also limited for families with young children. Seniors or two-person households looking for a quiet environment with good accessibility to Tilburg can feel at home here.

Social rental homes are hardly available: the housing association ownership is 1%. Those who want to qualify for social rent in the region would do well to register with Thuisvester or WonenBreburg, the active housing associations in the Tilburg-Goirle region. Be prepared for waiting lists. As an alternative, it is worth looking at the supply of owner-occupied homes in De Vallei, because the neighbourhood is primarily an owner-occupied neighbourhood. Available rental homes are rented out quickly here, so responding quickly and having documents ready is advisable.
