Rental homes in Schijndel Centrum 1, Meierijstad

Rental prices and market figures Schijndel Centrum 1, Meierijstad

Schijndel Centrum 1 is predominantly a rental neighbourhood: 66% of the housing stock consists of rental properties, compared to 34% owner-occupied homes. Of all homes, 34% are owned by a housing association and 31% by other (private) landlords. Social housing thus forms a substantial part of the supply, making the neighbourhood more accessible for people with lower incomes than the surrounding areas.

The average WOZ value is €257,000, which is notably lower than the district average of Schijndel (€401,000) and the municipal average of Meierijstad (€405,000). That difference says something about the type of housing and construction period in this neighbourhood: it largely concerns smaller, older homes and apartments, not the more spacious single-family homes that set the tone elsewhere in Schijndel.

In the free sector (excluding social housing), four homes were rented out in the past twelve months, with an average rental price of €1,732 per month. The range ran from €1,500 to €1,810 per month. The supply in the free sector is therefore limited; those looking for a rental home in Schijndel Centrum 1 via the free market have little choice. For current available rental properties and the most recent average rental price, see the overview at the top of this page.

Living in Schijndel Centrum 1, Meierijstad

Schijndel Centrum 1 is the neighbourhood that literally forms the heart of Schijndel. Anyone renting a home here lives within walking distance of the Markt, the main shopping street and most daily amenities. That is the big advantage of this location: everything is close by, without needing a car for groceries or a terrace visit.

The buildings are a mix of older properties, many from the first half of the twentieth century or earlier, with occasional additions from later decades. Apartments above shops, smaller porch flats and some ground-level homes define the streetscape. They are rarely large homes; the average WOZ value reflects that. Those looking for space for a large family would be better off looking in other parts of Schijndel.

Amenities within walking distance

The central location in Schijndel means that supermarkets such as Albert Heijn and Jumbo are within a short walking distance. The weekly market on the Markt is a fixed part of life in this neighbourhood. For primary education, several schools in and around the centre of Schijndel are accessible by bike. The Jeroen Bosch Hospital has a location in the region, and for GP care and pharmacy you hardly need to leave the neighbourhood. Hospitality venues are plentiful: from lunch cafés to dining options on and around the Markt. Sports clubs for football, tennis and other sports are located on the edges of Schijndel, within cycling distance.

Accessibility

Schijndel does not have its own train station. The nearest stations are 's-Hertogenbosch (approximately 15 kilometres) and Boxtel (approximately 10 kilometres), accessible by bus or car. Bus line 74 connects Schijndel with 's-Hertogenbosch. By car, you can quickly reach the A2 (Empel junction) via the N279, making Den Bosch, Eindhoven and Utrecht accessible. Within Schijndel itself, the bicycle is the most practical option: the centre is compact and well-suited for cycling. Parking in the centre requires attention; on and around the Markt, paid parking or permit zones apply, which can sometimes be a point of annoyance for residents.

What residents say

Residents of Schijndel Centrum 1 particularly appreciate the central location and the liveliness that the centre brings. One resident writes: "Everything is within walking distance, the atmosphere on the Markt is cosy and I never have to go far for my daily groceries." Critical notes often concern parking pressure and the crowds at peak times. View all reviews and the complete neighbourhood data on the neighbourhood page of Schijndel Centrum 1 for a full picture.

Those looking for a quieter alternative with more greenery might also consider Boschweg Noordoost or Boschweg Zuidwest, neighbourhoods that are a bit further from the Markt but offer a different living character. For those who prefer the rural area, Buitengebied Elderbroek is an option with a completely different profile.

Does renting in Schijndel Centrum 1 suit you?

The neighbourhood mainly attracts older people: the largest age group is 65-plus (425 out of 920 residents), and single-person households are the most common (280 units). That says something about the type of homes available here: smaller apartments and rental homes that suit singles and seniors well. For families with children, the supply is more limited, both in terms of home size and availability.

Starters who want to rent an apartment in Schijndel Centrum 1 must take into account limited free-sector supply and sometimes long waiting lists for social housing. Register in time with a housing association if you want to qualify for social housing in this neighbourhood. The free-sector supply is scarce: only four homes were rented out in this segment in the past twelve months. Respond quickly when something becomes available. As an alternative, the owner-occupied homes in Schijndel Centrum 1 are worth considering, although prices are relatively favourable for the region due to the low WOZ value.
