Renting in Luyksgestel: limited supply, spacious homes and prices that reflect this
Luyksgestel is essentially an owner-occupied neighbourhood. Of the approximately 1,060 homes, only 19% are in the rental sector, the majority of which (14%) are owned by housing associations. The private sector is therefore limited: only 5% of the housing stock falls under other landlords. This small supply has consequences for the price. In the private sector (excluding social housing), an average of €2,120 per month was paid for a rental home in Luyksgestel over the past year, with a range of €880 to €2,500 per month. The average size of rented homes was 282 m², which explains why prices are on the higher side. These are annual averages for the private sector; the current supply and daily prices can be seen at the top of this page. The WOZ value in Luyksgestel is €395,000, slightly below the municipal average of Bergeijk (€432,000). Anyone considering looking for a rental home in this area would do well to also check the broader supply of rental homes in Bergeijk.
Luyksgestel: village tranquillity with a strong sense of community
Luyksgestel is a village where people know each other. That sounds like a cliché, but residents emphasise it time and again. On the neighbourhood page of Luyksgestel you can read what residents themselves write about life here: the tranquillity, the proximity to nature and the feeling that you are not anonymous. One resident describes it as: "You really live in the green here, but you are not cut off from the rest." The latter is true: Eindhoven and Valkenswaard are reachable within about twenty to twenty-five minutes by car, although there is no train station and the bus connection is limited. Those without a car quickly notice this.
In terms of amenities, Luyksgestel is compact. There is a primary school, a community centre and a few local shops, but for a supermarket or larger shopping you quickly drive to Bergeijk or Valkenswaard. The Kerkstraat and surrounding area form the heart of the village; those looking for a bit more space on the edge of the built-up area tend to look at Kapellerweg-Rijt or Hasselsestraat en omgeving. The atmosphere differs per neighbourhood: around the Dorpstraat it is a bit livelier and more central, while the outer edges of the village feel quieter and greener.
The population composition also says something about the character of Luyksgestel. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years (700 residents), and families with children are the most common household type. Young people and students are scarce: the age group 15 to 25 years has 295 people, and there is hardly any urban nightlife or youth infrastructure. Renting in Luyksgestel is therefore not a choice for those seeking hustle and bustle and diversity, but for those who value tranquillity, space and a recognisable village life. More context about the municipality can be found on the page of Bergeijk or via the official municipal website.
For whom is renting in Luyksgestel the right choice, and for whom not?
Renting in Luyksgestel best suits families or couples who want space, have a car and consciously choose a village environment. The average income in Luyksgestel is €33,100, slightly below the municipal average, but private sector rental prices are high.

For starters without a fixed income or people who depend on public transport, this village is less suitable. Those who prefer to buy can view the supply of homes for sale in Luyksgestel, as the owner-occupied sector dominates here with 81% of the stock.
