Rental homes in Schutsboom, Helmond

Rental prices and market figures Schutsboom, Helmond

Schutsboom is a pronounced owner-occupied neighbourhood: only 11% of the more than 1,170 homes are rental properties. This makes supply scarce but also sought-after. Of those rental homes, 9% are owned by a housing association (social rent) and only 2% fall under other landlords, meaning the private sector here is very small.

In the private sector (excluding social rent), one home was rented out last year for €1,750 per month. That is the only reference point for the private rental market in this neighbourhood, so do not draw broad conclusions from it, but it does indicate that renting in Schutsboom is not cheap. For comparison, you can consult the overview at the top of this page for current available rental properties and the most recent average rental price.

The average WOZ value of homes in Schutsboom is €511,000. This is significantly above the district average of Brandevoort (€479,000) and well above the Helmond average of €312,000. Schutsboom is thus one of the most expensive residential neighbourhoods in the city. Anyone looking for a rental home in a more affordable segment would do well to also look at other neighbourhoods in the region.

Living in Schutsboom, Helmond

Schutsboom is a relatively young residential neighbourhood in the Brandevoort district, on the eastern side of Helmond. The neighbourhood was largely built in the 2000s and later, as part of the large-scale new-build development of Brandevoort. The urban planning concept of Brandevoort is inspired by historic Brabant fortified towns, and this is reflected in Schutsboom: brick facades, narrow streets, squares, and a deliberately 'village-like' appearance, while the homes themselves are modern inside. Most homes are ground-based: detached houses, semi-detached houses, and terraced houses dominate the scene. There are hardly any apartments, giving the neighbourhood a quiet, family-oriented character.

With 3,365 residents and an average income of €47,400 per household (compared to €35,000 on average in Helmond), Schutsboom is an affluent neighbourhood. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years old, and most households are families with children. The labour participation rate is 75%, and 44% of residents have a higher education. This colours the atmosphere: it is a quiet, neat neighbourhood where people have consciously chosen to live.

Is a rental home in Schutsboom right for you?
