Rental homes in Herstallen, Goirle

Rental prices and market figures for Herstallen, Goirle

Herstallen is notably a rental neighbourhood: 73% of the housing stock consists of rental properties, compared to 27% owner-occupied homes. This makes it one of the most rental-dominated neighbourhoods in Goirle. Of these rental properties, as much as 72% are owned by housing corporations, meaning the vast majority are social housing. Only 1% is owned by other (private) landlords, so the free-sector supply here is limited. If you want to find a rental home in Herstallen outside the social sector, supply is scarce and you'd better act fast.

The average WOZ value is €253,000, which is clearly lower than the district average of Hoogeind (€309,000) and well below the municipal average of Goirle (€410,000). This reflects the character of the neighbourhood: relatively affordable, with a housing stock that largely consists of modest-sized corporation homes. For the current average rental price and letting times in the free sector, you can refer to the overview at the top of this page, which is updated daily. By comparison, in the wider municipality, free-sector rental prices are generally higher, partly due to the more expensive owner-occupied segment and the new-build neighbourhoods on the outskirts of Goirle.

Living in Herstallen, Goirle

Herstallen is a compact, predominantly post-war residential neighbourhood in the southwest of Goirle. The neighbourhood has just over 1,000 residents and a distinct character: it is quiet, green, and strongly oriented towards the elderly and long-established residents.
