What does a rental property cost in Rijsbergen? Free sector from €1,500
Rijsbergen is a village where most people own their homes. Only 23% of the approximately 2,850 homes are rental properties, of which 15% are owned by housing associations and 9% by other landlords. This makes the rental supply limited, especially in the free sector. In the past twelve months, only seven homes were rented out in the free sector (excluding social housing). The average rent was €2,507 per month, with a range of €1,500 to €4,300. That sounds steep, but these are often spacious homes with an average floor area of 216 m². The WOZ value in Rijsbergen, at €461,000, is well above the municipal average of €409,000 in Zundert. This directly translates into higher rents. For an up-to-date picture of what is available today, check the overview at the top of this page for the daily listing.
The difference with the wider municipality is striking. Rijsbergen attracts relatively many households with higher incomes: the average disposable income of €37,100 is well above the €35,800 average for Zundert. Renting in Rijsbergen is therefore not a budget option. Those looking for more affordable rental options in the municipality of Zundert would do well to also consider surrounding villages.
Living in Rijsbergen: village tranquillity with a caveat
Rijsbergen is a village of nearly 7,000 residents, located in the west of the municipality of Zundert, close to the Belgian border. The largest group of residents is between 45 and 65 years old (2,010 people), but with 915 children under 15 and 1,465 residents between 25 and 45, it is certainly not an ageing village. It is a place where families settle and stay. 44% of households are married, and the largest group of households consists of couples without children (1,030). This paints a quiet, stable picture.
On the district page for Rijsbergen, residents rate the village a 7.8 out of 10. Notably high are the scores for accessibility (9.0) and sense of community (9.0). Resident Jan van Steenoven confirms that the neighbourhood is generally quiet, but does add a serious caveat: he is bothered by a property nearby where drug dealing takes place. The safety score of 7.0 reflects that. It is fair to say that Rijsbergen is not a problem area, but that such situations stand out more in a small village and can directly affect your living enjoyment. The score for green spaces (6.0) is also somewhat disappointing for a village surrounded by agricultural landscape. Within the village centre itself, greenery is apparently more limited than you might expect.
In terms of amenities, Rijsbergen scores a 7.0. There is a primary school (education score: 8.0), a church, a sports park, and a handful of shops for daily groceries. For larger purchases, you drive to Breda, which is a quarter of an hour away. That accessibility is a major plus: via the A58 you are quickly in Breda or Etten-Leur. The neighbourhood Rijsbergen-kern is the most lively, while the scattered houses in the east and the western rural areas are much more rural and quiet. The latter are especially suitable if you are looking for space and tranquillity, but do not expect to rent an apartment in Rijsbergen: it is almost exclusively detached homes.
Renting in Rijsbergen: suitable for space seekers, not for starters
With an average rent of over €2,500 per month, a rental home in Rijsbergen is mainly interesting for dual-income couples, expats temporarily working in the Breda region, or families who consciously choose village living with plenty of square metres. Starters and single people on a median income are priced out of the free sector here. The social housing sector (15% housing association stock) has long waiting times, as is common in West Brabant. Those who prefer to invest in their own home can check the supply of homes for sale in Rijsbergen. With 77% owner-occupied homes, that is the dominant market here. For those who are more flexible on location: the nearby Wernhout or Achtmaal could also be alternatives, although supply there is equally limited.
