Rental homes in Hulst

Renting in Hulst: a small private-sector market with spacious homes

Of all homes in Hulst, 33% are rental properties, compared to 66% owner-occupied homes. This makes the rental supply relatively limited. The majority of rental homes are owned by a housing association (26%), while only 7% of the housing stock is with other landlords. For those looking for a rental home outside the social sector, supply is therefore scarce. In the private sector, 22 homes were rented out in the past twelve months, with an average rent of €1,144 per month and an average floor area of 128 m². The range runs from €475 to €1,990 per month, indicating that both smaller and more spacious homes are available. The WOZ value in Hulst is €284,000, slightly above the municipal average of €277,000.

Hulst: fortified town with a strong sense of community and little greenery in the centre

Hulst is one of the best-preserved fortified towns in the Netherlands, and you notice that when you walk around. The medieval city walls, the Walle, surround the centre and give the town a recognisable character. Residents rate the neighbourhood on Buurtje.nl with an 8.4 out of 10, and that score is not without reason. Accessibility, education and amenities all score a 9.0. Resident P. Segers describes the neighbourhood as "cosy and family-friendly" with various schools, a community centre and a fitness centre within walking distance, supplemented by nature parks nearby for a walk. That picture is confirmed by the age structure: the largest group of residents is 65-plus, but families with children also enjoy living there.

Yet not everything is rosy. Resident Britt gives the neighbourhood an 8.6, but adds a caveat: "There is little greenery in the city centre, except for the Walle." Those who want greenery around them daily will indeed have to look mainly outside the centre. The sub-score for greenery is therefore the lowest of all categories: 7.5. Safety scores an 8.0, which gives a realistic and positive picture for a small town like Hulst. On the neighbourhood page of Hulst you will find all resident reviews, sub-scores and extensive neighbourhood data.

Renting in Hulst: who is this suitable for and who less so?

Hulst mainly appeals to families, seniors and people who value peace and community spirit over urban dynamism. The combination of good schools, amenities within walking distance and a safe environment makes it attractive for families. For young starters or people considering renting an apartment in Hulst, the supply is more limited and waiting times for social housing are a real obstacle. Those who are flexible in terms of location can also look at nearby places such as Sint Jansteen or Clinge. Considering a long-term solution? Then the supply of homes for sale in Hulst, given the large majority of owner-occupied homes, is certainly worth a look.
