Rental homes in Oirschot

Renting a home in Oirschot: an honest picture of the rental market

Oirschot is a municipality where the owner-occupied market dominates. Approximately 75% of homes are owner-occupied, while only 24% are rental properties. Of that rental share, about 13% is owned by housing associations (social housing via housing corporations) and 12% is in the hands of other landlords, i.e. the private sector. This makes the supply of rental properties in Oirschot relatively limited, especially compared to larger cities in the region. In the private sector (excluding social housing and room rentals), 52 homes have been rented out in the past twelve months, at an average rent of €1,715 per month. The range runs from about €800 to €3,500 per month, with an average floor area of no less than 304 m². That says a lot about the type of homes available here: often spacious family homes or detached houses, not compact city apartments. Renting an apartment in Oirschot is therefore more difficult than in Eindhoven or Tilburg. Check the top of this page for the current daily price and current supply.

The location of Oirschot is an important plus point. You are a quarter of an hour's drive from Eindhoven and via the N65 and A58 you are quickly on the motorway. Yet the accessibility by public transport is modest: residents give it a 6.7. There is a bus connection, but no train station. If you depend on public transport, you need to take that into account. Employment is mainly found in the Eindhoven region (Brainport), which makes Oirschot attractive for people who want to live outside the city but work there.

Neighbourhoods and villages in Oirschot: where do you want to rent?

The municipality of Oirschot consists of several cores, each with its own character. Below is an overview of the main neighbourhoods and villages, including the neighbourhood scores from residents.

Middelbeers and Westelbeers, the quiet countryside

With a neighbourhood score of 8.9 out of 10, Middelbeers and Westelbeers is the highest-rated neighbourhood in the municipality. These are two small church villages east of Oirschot, surrounded by agricultural landscape and forests. Families and older couples who consciously choose peace and space mainly live here. The greenery scores a 9.6 among residents, and you can tell: you literally step into nature. Facilities are minimal; you are dependent on the core of Oirschot or Eindhoven for larger shopping trips. Rental properties rarely become available here, but when they do, they are usually spacious single-family homes.

Spoordonk, village living with a close-knit community

Spoordonk scores an 8.8 among residents and stands out for its strong sense of community. One resident describes it as a place where "everyone knows each other and you quickly feel at home". This small village west of the core of Oirschot has an active club life and a village hall that serves as the social heart. The safety score is high (9.6 municipality-wide) and greenery is all around you. Spoordonk is suitable for those who really want to live in a village and don't mind limited local facilities.

The core of Oirschot, the centre with the most facilities

The core of Oirschot itself scores an 8.4 among residents and is the place where you will find most shops, restaurants and schools. The historic centre around the Markt with the Sint-Pieterskerk has a protected village view. Here you will find supermarkets, GPs, primary schools, and secondary school students go to Best or Eindhoven. The rental supply is largest here within the municipality, ranging from older terraced houses to newer rental homes on the edges of the village. Residents appreciate the education (8.8) and the beauty of the surroundings (9.3). However, accessibility by public transport is a point of attention.

Oostelbeers scores a 7.9 and is the smallest village in the municipality. It is somewhat more isolated, but does offer ultimate peace. The supply of rental properties is very limited here.

Who is renting in Oirschot suitable for, and who is it not?

With an average income of €38,800 and a labour participation rate of 70%, Oirschot is a prosperous municipality. The largest group of households consists of families with children (2,924 households), and this is reflected in the housing supply: many spacious homes, few studios or small apartments. Renting a house in Oirschot is therefore most suitable for families or couples who work in the Brainport region and consciously choose a green, quiet living environment outside Eindhoven. The average WOZ value of €465,000 makes buying unaffordable for many starters, so the private rental sector is sometimes the only option for them.

Be honest with yourself: if you depend on public transport, want a lot of nightlife, or are looking for an affordable rental home under €800, Oirschot is probably not the best choice. The social housing waiting lists are long and the private sector supply is limited and pricey. In that case, also consider owner-occupied homes in Oirschot as an alternative. For social housing, you can register via housing corporation Woonstichting 'thuis, which is active in this region. Prepare your documents (employer's statement, payslips, ID) in advance, because when the scarce homes become available, you need to act quickly. More information about living and registering can be found on the website of the municipality of Oirschot.
