Rental homes in Midden woongebied, Etten-Leur

What do you pay for a rental home in the centre area of Etten-Leur?

If you are looking for a home in the Midden woongebied, it is important to distinguish between social housing and the private sector. The figures show an interesting distribution: although as many as 44% of homes in this neighbourhood are rental properties, the vast majority (35% of the total stock) are owned by housing associations. This means the private sector is relatively small, with only about 8% of the supply. This creates scarcity, and that is reflected in the prices.

Over the past twelve months, the average rent in the private sector was €1,644 per month, with peaks of up to €2,250 for larger apartments or townhouses. The average living space you get for this is quite spacious at 113m². If you compare this with the WOZ value of €293,000 (which is lower than the municipal average of €343,000), you can see that renting in the private sector here is relatively expensive compared to buying. For current daily prices and availability, it is best to consult the overview at the top of this page.
