Renting in Kloosterakkers and Dommelen: a small private sector with steep prices
The rental market in Kloosterakkers and Dommelen is limited in size. Of the more than 4,000 homes in this neighbourhood, only 33% are in the rental sector, and the vast majority of these are owned by a housing association (28%). The private sector is therefore small: over the past twelve months, only 9 private sector rental homes were let, with an average rent of 1,929 euros per month. The range runs from 1,195 to 2,795 euros per month. These are not low amounts, but they are in line with the high WOZ values in the neighbourhood (average 362,000 euros, slightly above the municipal average of 360,000 euros). For current rental prices and the daily changing supply, you can consult the overview at the top of this page. Anyone looking for a social rental home is dependent on housing association properties, but there are waiting lists for these. More general information about living in the municipality can be found on the website of Valkenswaard municipality.
Dommelen and Kloosterakkers: two faces of the same neighbourhood
Kloosterakkers and Dommelen is actually a combination of two areas with a clearly distinct character. Dommelen is a former independent village on the River Dommel, with a historic centre, its own community centre and a strong village identity. Residents of Dommelen describe it as quiet, green and close-knit. The neighbourhood attracts many families and older people: the largest age group is 45 to 65 years, and 45% of households are married. That says something about the atmosphere: this is not a neighbourhood for those looking for urban life or nightlife, but for those seeking peace and space within cycling distance of Valkenswaard.
On the neighbourhood page of Kloosterakkers and Dommelen you can read residents' experiences, including scores per category such as safety, green spaces and amenities. Residents particularly appreciate the green surroundings and the tranquillity. A frequently mentioned point is the limited walking distance to daily amenities: for larger shopping trips or a night out, you are quickly dependent on the centre of Valkenswaard, which is a few kilometres away. Accessibility by car is good, but a direct bus connection to larger cities is limited. That is an honest drawback that several residents mention.
Within the neighbourhood there are also smaller areas, each with their own atmosphere. For example, Keersop has a more rural character, while Agnetendal is somewhat more compactly built. Schepelweijen is also worth a look if you are looking for a bit more space. The average income in the neighbourhood (37,200 euros) is slightly above the municipal average, and the labour participation rate of 67% is healthy. This reflects a neighbourhood that is economically stable, without extremes in either direction.
Renting in Kloosterakkers and Dommelen: for families and those seeking peace, less so for starters
Based on the demographic data and the price level, renting in Kloosterakkers and Dommelen is most suitable for families with children (the largest household group) and people in the 45-plus age category who are looking for peace and space. For starters or young people looking for an affordable rental home, the supply is limited and private sector prices are high. Those considering buying instead of renting can also look at homes for sale in Kloosterakkers and Dommelen: 67% of the housing stock consists of owner-occupied homes, so that supply is considerably larger.
