Rental homes in Reusel-De Mierden

Renting in Reusel-De Mierden: a small municipality with limited but sought-after supply

Reusel-De Mierden is a compact rural municipality in the Kempen region, close to the Belgian border. Of the more than 5,700 homes, only 23% are rental properties, of which 13% are owned by housing associations and around 10% by other landlords. This means the social rental market is small and waiting lists can be long. In the private sector, only 8 homes have been rented out in the past twelve months, at an average rent of €1,395 per month. The range varied from €950 to €2,195 per month, with an average floor area of 68 m². That is steep for a municipality of this size, but it fits with the scarce supply and the popularity of the area among people seeking peace and space. Always check the current daily prices and the current supply at the top of this page, because in a market with so little movement, the picture can change quickly.

The municipality consists of four villages: Reusel, Lage Mierde, Hooge Mierde and Hulsel. There are no major employers directly in the municipality itself, but the proximity of Eindhoven (about 30 minutes by car) and the Belgian border makes it an attractive place to live for commuters. There is no train station, so you are dependent on the car or bus. This makes it less suitable if you need to travel by public transport daily, but residents appreciate the peace that this brings.

Most of the rental supply in the municipality is found here, although it remains limited. Check the current supply in the village of Reusel for the latest status. For families looking for a rental home with a garden and space around them, Reusel is the most logical choice within the municipality.

Lage Mierde, village-like and green

Lage Mierde is smaller than Reusel and feels even more rural. The neighbourhood score is 8.9 out of 10, with maximum scores for green space and accessibility. The village has its own primary school and an active club life, but for larger shopping trips you drive to Reusel or Bladel. Anyone considering renting a home in Lage Mierde must be patient: supply is scarce, but the quality of life is high.

In addition, there are two other villages worth discovering. Hooge Mierde lies between Reusel and Lage Mierde and has a similar village character, with its own church and community centre. Hulsel is the smallest village, truly for those seeking maximum peace. Both villages have minimal amenities, so you have to love the countryside. The club life is strong in all villages, something residents explicitly mention in their reviews. The safety score of 9.5 and the community score of 9.5 confirm that picture: here you still know your neighbours.

Who is a rental home in Reusel-De Mierden suitable for?

Renting a home in Reusel-De Mierden is best suited for people who consciously choose the countryside. Think of families who want space for their children (the 0-15 age group is well represented with 2,234 residents), older couples returning from the city to the Kempen, or homeworkers who only need to go to Eindhoven or Tilburg a few times a week. With an average income of €35,800 and private sector rents around €1,395 per month, you need to be financially solid for the private sector. For social housing, it is best to register with housing association Woonstichting 'thuis or Wooninc., but expect long waiting times. Prepare your documents well: employer's statement, payslips and a BRP extract. In a market with so little supply, speed counts.

Is the rental market here too tight or too expensive? Then consider homes for sale in Reusel-De Mierden, because with 77% owner-occupied homes, the supply there is larger.
