Renting in Lith: a small private sector in a purchase-dominated village
Lith is not a typical rental neighbourhood. Of the more than 1,300 homes in this village on the Maas, 73% are for sale, and only 27% are rental properties. Within that, social housing (19%) is the dominant form; the private sector is limited. In the past twelve months, only 2 homes were rented in the private sector, at an average rent of €1,700 per month. The range and surface area data are not representative due to the small numbers, but the price does give an indication: renting in Lith is not cheap. By comparison, the average WOZ value in Lith is €397,000, well above the municipal average of €346,000 in Oss. This reflects the relatively affluent, rural character of the village. Check the current rental supply and the current average rent at the top of this page, as these are updated daily.

Supply varies greatly, and social housing is allocated via the regular waiting list of housing associations active in the Oss region.

Lith along the Maas: close-knit streets, but few shops
Lith is a village of about 3,200 inhabitants, located directly on the Maas, with a dyke, a ferry, and its own recognisable rhythm. The largest group of residents is between 45 and 65 years old, and the proportion of families with children is strikingly high. This is reflected in the atmosphere: quiet, not anonymous, people know each other. On the neighbourhood page of Lith, residents give the village an average of 6.8 out of 10, based on four reviews. That is a fair score for a village with clear strengths and weaknesses.
Resident Roelie describes it aptly: "We still look out for each other, we dare to ask each other for help, and we hold a street BBQ every year." That involvement is real, but it mainly applies at street level. Another resident is considerably more critical and gives the village a 3.5: she misses social inclusion for children who go to school outside the village, finds traffic safety worrying, and points to the lack of amenities. And that matches the data: amenities score the lowest of all subcategories, namely 5.8. There is literally one shop in the immediate vicinity. For daily groceries, you have to rely on surrounding places or the city of Oss. Accessibility scores best of all categories with a 7.2, although Lith is not a place with a train station around the corner. The beauty of the surroundings, the Maas, the greenery, that is appreciated by residents: a 7.5 for beauty is the highest sub-score.
Around the village lie two sub-areas, each with its own character. In Buitengebied Lith you live even more rurally, with more space but even fewer amenities. De Lithse Ham is a recreational area along the Maas, popular with people seeking peace and nature. Both areas fall under the municipality of Oss, but feel very different from the more urban part of the municipality.
Renting in Lith: for peace-seekers with a car, less suitable for city people
A rental home in Lith best suits people who consciously choose a small community, greenery, and space, and who are not dependent on a rich shopping street or public transport on their doorstep. Families with children will find plenty of peers here, but activities run strongly through the local school, which makes it difficult if your children attend school elsewhere. For starters or people looking for an apartment in a lively environment, Lith is probably too quiet and too limited in supply. Those who are unsure can also look at Oss-Zuid or the Centre of Oss for more urban housing options. And those who want to buy instead of rent will find much more choice in Lith.

Is Lith safe to live in?
Residents rate safety in Lith a 6.5 out of 10. That is an average score. One resident mentions speeding in the neighbourhood as a specific point of concern. Lith is a small village where people know each other, which generally contributes to social control, but the traffic situation in some streets is experienced as unpleasant.
How accessible is Lith by public transport?
Accessibility scores the highest of all resident categories in Lith with a 7.2, but that does not mean there is a train station. Lith is located on the Maas and is easily accessible by car towards Oss and Den Bosch. Public transport is more limited than in urban areas; a car is practically necessary for most daily journeys.
Are there schools and amenities if I want to rent a home in Lith?
Lith has a primary school and activities are strongly centred around that school, which is convenient if you have children attending it. For daily groceries, there is only one shop in the village; residents rely on Oss or surrounding places for more extensive amenities. Amenities therefore score the lowest in resident ratings: a 5.8 out of 10.
Not social, no thought given to children who go to school elsewhere because all activities go through the school. Only 1 shop in the neighbourhood. People drive too fast in the neighbourhood. So I find it very unpleasant and unsafe.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is friendly, helpful and caring. The children can play outside nicely. The house is currently in poor condition but a renovation will follow in early 2025.
Auto-translated to English by AII'm mainly talking about our street and the area around it. About that I can say that we fortunately still look out for each other, that we dare to ask each other for help, and that we have an annual street BBQ to promote and/or strengthen togetherness. However, there is little for young children to do, which is a shame, because we all have our (grand)children and in the neighbourhood they can hardly let off steam. For the elderly, it's a wonderful neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AIBeautiful quiet village. You do have to be sociable yourself to be fully accepted. Recently a new housing estate was added. But the old Lith remains truly Lith. Nice cycling/walking area. Lovely and quiet. 1 supermarket, unfortunately often on the pricey side. 1 bakery, lovely but expensive. Public transport is available but not very frequent. Close to the cities of Oss and Den Bosch is also within reach.
