Rental homes in Hulsel, Reusel-De Mierden

Renting in Hulsel: a tight private sector in a owner-occupied dominated village

Hulsel is essentially an owner-occupied neighbourhood. Of the 328 homes in the village, only 10% are rental properties, the majority of which are owned by a housing association (6%). Private sector rental homes are therefore scarce. Over the past twelve months, one home was rented in the private sector, with an average rent of €1,950 per month for a home averaging 109 m². That is significantly higher than what you pay elsewhere in the municipality: the average WOZ value in Hulsel is €493,000, compared to €416,000 for the municipality of Reusel-De Mierden as a whole. So this is a relatively high-quality housing stock. Current availability and the most recent rents can be found at the top of this page.

Anyone looking for a rental home in Hulsel must reckon with a limited and low-turnover supply. The social rental homes via the housing association are partly available through the regional waiting list, but turnover is low in a village where many people have lived for decades. Those who want to rent flexibly in the private sector would do well to also look at rental homes in Reusel-De Mierden more broadly, or in adjacent villages.

Hulsel: a village where everyone knows each other, and that's precisely the point

Hulsel is not a neighbourhood that stands out for its amenities or urban dynamism. It is a small Brabant village with about 865 residents, surrounded by nature, fields and cycling routes towards the Kempen. The atmosphere is quiet, the social cohesion high. Residents on the neighbourhood page of Hulsel consistently describe the village as "quiet", "safe" and "green". One resident writes that you "really come to rest here, but you have to be able to organise your own entertainment." That is honestly a good summary of what Hulsel is and what it is not.

You don't do your daily shopping in Hulsel itself. For that you drive to Reusel, a few kilometres away, where you'll find supermarkets, schools and basic amenities. Hulsel does have a community centre and a church, and the social structure is strong. Those with children will notice that the 0-15 age group is well represented (155 of the 865 residents), but the dominant group is 45-65 years old (235 people). The village is slowly ageing, which is also visible in the housing stock: large owner-occupied homes, little turnover.

The neighbourhood Verspreide huizen Hulsel forms the rural area around the core and is characterised by detached houses with large plots. Renting in that part of Hulsel is rare, but those who live there usually have plenty of space and privacy. Accessibility by car is good via provincial roads towards Reusel and Bladel; public transport is limited, which can be a barrier for some tenants.

Renting in Hulsel: who is this village really suitable for?

Renting a home in Hulsel is most suitable for people who consciously choose peace, space and a close-knit village community, and who are not dependent on public transport or nearby urban amenities. Think of families or couples aged 35 to 55 with their own car and a preference for nature over the city. For starters or people considering renting an apartment in Hulsel, the supply is virtually nil. Also for those with a low income who depend on social housing, the choice here is limited. In that case, it pays to compare with Hooge Mierde or Lage Mierde. Considering a long-term solution? Then the supply of homes for sale in Hulsel is considerably larger and more varied.
