Rental homes in Oirschot-Centrum, Oirschot

Rental prices and market figures Oirschot-Centrum, Oirschot

Approximately 45% of the housing stock in Oirschot-Centrum consists of rental properties, compared to 54% owner-occupied homes. This makes the neighbourhood relatively accessible for tenants compared to the rest of the municipality. The average WOZ value here is €406,000, which is noticeably lower than the district average of €461,000 and the municipal average of €465,000. This difference reflects a slightly different housing profile: more older, smaller properties and a larger share of housing association homes.

Of all homes, 28% are owned by a housing association (social rent), and 17% belong to other landlords (private sector). In the private sector, 17 homes were rented out in the past twelve months with an average rental price of €1,797 per month. The range runs from €800 to €2,650 per month. With an average surface area of 402 m², this works out to approximately €4.50 per m². Note: these are private sector prices only, excluding social rent. For the current supply and the most recent average rental price, see the overview at the top of this page.

Compared to surrounding neighbourhoods such as Oirschot Noordoost or the rural area near Snepseind en Bijsterveld, Oirschot-Centrum has a broader supply in the private sector, but prices are correspondingly higher due to the central location.

Living in Oirschot-Centrum, Oirschot

Oirschot-Centrum is the historic heart of the municipality of Oirschot, a small Brabant municipality in the Kempen region between Eindhoven and Tilburg. The neighbourhood revolves around the medieval Grote Markt with the impressive Sint-Petruskerk, surrounded by half-timbered houses, narrow streets and characteristic buildings from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Living in Oirschot-Centrum means living in a protected village view: the centre is listed as a national monument and that is palpable in the streetscape.

The housing stock largely consists of older buildings, townhouse-like homes, upstairs apartments and a limited number of apartments above shops. New-build apartments are hardly available in the centre itself. If you are looking for a rental home with character and a historic appearance, you are in the right place here. If you want modern insulation and an energy label A, you must take limitations into account: the average gas consumption of 1,050 m³ per year is relatively low, which indicates that homes are on average reasonably insulated, but the spread is large.

Facilities in Oirschot-Centrum

Daily life is well organised in the neighbourhood. On and around the Grote Markt and the Rijkesluisstraat you will find a Jumbo supermarket, bakeries, butchers and specialist shops. The weekly market on the Grote Markt gives the neighbourhood a lively character on set days. For children, there are primary schools within walking distance, including basisschool De Regenboog and basisschool Het Palet. Secondary education is available in Oirschot itself (Pius X College) or in Eindhoven for higher school levels. Those who are sporty can join football club OFC, tennis club LTC Oirschot and various other associations just outside the centre. A swimming pool is not directly in the neighbourhood, but is available in Eindhoven about 20 minutes away by car. GPs, a pharmacy and dentists are present in or directly next to the centre.

Accessibility from Oirschot-Centrum

Oirschot does not have its own train station. The nearest stations are Best and Boxtel, both about ten to fifteen minutes away by car. From Best you can reach Eindhoven Centraal in about twenty minutes. Bus line 140 (Eindhoven-Tilburg) runs through Oirschot and offers a direct connection to Eindhoven, although the frequency is limited outside peak hours. By car, the A58 (Eindhoven-Tilburg) is the main connection, accessible via the N395. Eindhoven is about 20 kilometres away, Tilburg about 25 kilometres. Parking in the centre is paid or temporary in designated places, which is a point of attention for residents without their own parking space. Cycling is well organised in Oirschot: the centre is compact and there are cycle connections towards the Oirschotse Heide and surrounding villages.

Residents appreciate the peace, atmosphere and social cohesion of the centre. On the neighbourhood page of Oirschot-Centrum several reviews can be read. One resident writes: "You really live here in a village with character, everyone knows each other and the market on Wednesday is always cosy." Criticisms that come back are the limited public transport connections and parking during busy periods. If you are looking for similar village peace but want a bit more distance from the centre, you can also look at De Notel or the quieter Straten met Moleneind, neighbourhoods that offer a different atmosphere but fall within the same district.

Who is a rental home in Oirschot-Centrum interesting for?

The largest age group in the neighbourhood is 65-plus (over 1,400 residents), followed by the 45-65 age group. That says something about the character: this is not a student neighbourhood or young families neighbourhood, but a neighbourhood where peace, facilities within walking distance and community spirit are central. For seniors looking for a rental home or apartment in Oirschot-Centrum, the neighbourhood is attractive due to the proximity of shops, care and the social life on the market. Starters with a smaller budget would do well to register with a housing association for social rent, because the private sector quickly starts above €1,000 per month. Families with children are welcome, but the supply of large family homes for rent in the centre is limited. As an alternative, there are also homes for sale in Oirschot-Centrum available for those thinking long-term. Respond quickly to available rental homes: the supply changes and popular homes are gone quickly.
