Terraced houses for rent in Den Bosch

Terraced houses in Den Bosch: what defines the supply

Den Bosch is a city where renting and buying are reasonably balanced, but that doesn't mean it's easy to search. Terraced houses make up a large part of the post-war neighbourhoods around the centre. They are popular with families and dual-income households, which keeps competition for this type high. Anyone looking to rent a terraced house in Den Bosch quickly notices that the supply is in the upper mid-range. Affordable options are scarce and are rented out very quickly.

Terraced houses in Den Bosch are generally more spacious than apartments, have a garden or outdoor space, and are often located in neighbourhoods with good amenities within walking distance. They are suitable for people who need more space than an apartment offers but are not necessarily looking for a corner house or detached house.

What you pay and what determines the price

Specific amounts are at the top of this page, as they change. What you can expect: terraced houses in Den Bosch fall into the upper mid-range. This is due to a number of factors:

• Proximity to the centre and the train station weighs heavily on the rent price.
• Homes with a private driveway or garage are priced higher, especially in neighbourhoods where parking is difficult.
• New-build neighbourhoods such as De Groote Wielen command higher rents than older neighbourhoods with similar floor areas.
• The state of maintenance varies greatly. A renovated terraced house from the 1970s can be more expensive than a newer home elsewhere in the city.
• Energy labels are increasingly playing a role: a home with label A or B has lower heating costs, but also a higher base rent.

Want to know if a property falls within the liberalisation threshold or the mid-range? Always compare the base rent with the service charges separately. That can sometimes make more of a difference than you think.

Five neighbourhoods worth considering

Den Bosch has neighbourhoods with very different characters. Residents give the following neighbourhoods high scores, which also indicates there is a lot of competition when properties become available:

• Maaspoort (8.9/10): quiet neighbourhood with lots of greenery, popular with families. Homes are predominantly from the 1980s and 1990s.
• De Groote Wielen (8.9/10): new-build neighbourhood with water and spacious layout. Higher rents, but also higher living quality.
• Rosmalen-Noord (8.8/10): sub-municipality with its own village character, good schools and little nuisance. Attractive for families who want to live a bit quieter.
• West (8.7/10): closer to the centre, more mixed. Good public transport connections and shops within walking distance.
• Empel (8.3/10): small-scale and green, on the edge of the city. Less supply, but when something becomes available the atmosphere is good.

Practical tips for renting a terraced house in Den Bosch

• Respond quickly, but read the tenancy agreement carefully. With temporary contracts (Article 7:271 BW, definite period) you have less tenant protection than with an indefinite-term contract. Always ask what type of contract is offered before scheduling a viewing.
• Check the service charges. Landlords may charge service costs, but they must be settled annually. An excessively high advance payment without a settlement is a warning sign.
• Parking in Den Bosch is regulated differently per neighbourhood. In some neighbourhoods a parking permit is required, in others not. Check this in advance via the municipality, especially if you have a car.
• Ask about the WOZ value and the points system. Terraced houses can sometimes still fall below the liberalisation threshold. If that is the case, you have more rights as a tenant than with a free-sector property.
• Sign up for push notifications via the free Buurtje.nl app. New supply in Den Bosch goes fast. With the app you receive a notification as soon as a new terraced house becomes available that matches your search. The app is free to download from the App Store and Google Play.
• View on weekdays. Weekend viewings attract more interested parties. On a Tuesday or Wednesday you have more room for questions and a quieter impression of the neighbourhood.
• Pay attention to the condition of the central heating system and the roof. With a terraced house, the roof is partly shared with neighbours. Leakage can become a long-running conflict if responsibility is not properly regulated in the tenancy agreement.
