Rental homes in Milheeze, Gemert-Bakel

Renting in Milheeze: a small private sector in a owner-occupied dominated village

Milheeze is essentially an owner-occupied neighbourhood. Of the 915 homes in the village, only 17% are rental properties, and the majority of those are owned by a housing association (11%). The private sector is therefore small: only 6% of the housing stock falls under other landlords. This is noticeable in the supply. Over the past twelve months, one property was rented in the private sector, with a rent of 3,500 euros per month for a home of 360 m². That is not a typical starter home, but a spacious property in the higher segment. By comparison, the average WOZ value in Milheeze is 426,000 euros, clearly above the municipal average of Gemert-Bakel (386,000 euros). That says something about the character of the village: established, ownership-oriented and not cheap. At the top of this page, see the current overview of available rental properties in Milheeze for the most recent status.

Milheeze: green and quiet, but don't count on amenities around the corner

Milheeze has over 2,200 residents and has the profile of a typical North Brabant rural village. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years, families with children are the most common household type, and 44% of residents are married. It is a community that has been settled for some time. This gives the village a certain tranquillity, but also a closed character for newcomers.

Resident Roosje gives Milheeze a 6.8 out of 10 and describes it as follows: there are no shops, for the GP you have to go to Bakel, for the pharmacy to Bakel, for groceries to Bakel or Deurne. She honestly adds that the neighbourhood is friendly in the sense of a greeting here and there, but that otherwise it's every man for himself. That combination of limited amenities (score 5.0) and poor accessibility (score 5.0) is a recurring theme. Those used to a supermarket within cycling distance or a bus service that runs more than once an hour may find this challenging.

On the other hand, Milheeze scores high on green space (8.0), housing (8.0) and education (8.0). The location near the Groote Peel gives the village a rural character that many residents appreciate. The neighbourhoods Verspreide huizen Groote Peel and Verspreide huizen Milheeze are the more scattered residential areas around the village centre.

For whom is a rental home in Milheeze realistic?

Renting in Milheeze is not an option for everyone. The supply of rental properties in Milheeze is limited, the private sector is thin, and the available homes are large and expensive. Renting an apartment in Milheeze is virtually impossible: it concerns ground-floor homes in the higher segment. For those looking for social housing, the waiting time via the housing association is the determining factor. Those who want more choice in rental properties would be better off looking at Gemert-Centrum or Gemert-Noord, where the supply is larger. Considering a longer term in the region? Then it is also worth checking the supply of owner-occupied homes in Milheeze, because the owner-occupied market is significantly more active here than the rental market.
