Rental homes in Sint Willebrord, Rucphen

What does a rental property cost in Sint Willebrord?

Sint Willebrord has a housing stock of over 4,200 homes, of which about 40% are rental properties. That is a significant share, but the vast majority of these (36% of all homes) are owned by housing associations. The private sector is therefore small: only 4% of the stock is offered by other landlords. This is noticeable in the limited supply. In the past twelve months, only five homes have been rented out in the private sector, with an average rent of €1,596 per month. The range was between €1,495 and €1,999, with a remarkably large average floor area of 325 m². So these are mainly spacious family homes, not compact apartments. Anyone considering renting an apartment in Sint Willebrord will find that the supply is even scarcer.

Compared to the rest of the municipality of Rucphen, the WOZ values in Sint Willebrord are lower: an average of €323,000 compared to €352,000 municipality-wide. The average income of €32,500 is also slightly below the municipal average of €34,200. This makes renting in Sint Willebrord relatively affordable, especially for those eligible for social housing.

Sint Willebrord: village cosiness with a rough edge

On the neighbourhood page of Sint Willebrord, residents rate the village an 8.7 out of 10. That is high, and it is mainly driven by top scores for green spaces (10), education (10) and the quality of housing (9.5). Sint Willebrord is a village where you live spaciously, where children can attend good primary schools and where you can cycle into the countryside within a few minutes. The neighbourhood Verspreide huizen on the edges of the village clearly shows this green character, with many detached homes and agricultural land around them.

Yet it is not all roses and sunshine. Resident Joey van Spelden gives the village a 7.4 and describes it as "a special but cosy neighbourhood, where cleanliness is important". He enjoys living there, but notes that there has been more vandalism lately. Public transport also gets a swipe: "public transport is rubbish", says Joey. Accessibility scores a 7.5, the lowest sub-score after safety (7.0). Sint Willebrord has a bus connection towards Etten-Leur and Roosendaal, but those dependent on public transport for commuting must reckon with limited frequencies, especially in the evenings. By car, via the A58, you are quickly in Breda or Roosendaal.

The heart of the village around the Dorpsstraat offers daily amenities: a supermarket, bakery, GP and a few catering establishments. It is not a large shopping centre, but for a village of nearly 10,000 inhabitants, it is sufficient. Community spirit scores an 8.0, and this is reflected in the club life: football club VVR, carnival associations and neighbourhood activities keep the social fabric strong. Resident Sven is outright enthusiastic and gives a perfect 10. In the centre of Sint Willebrord, most amenities are within walking distance. The municipality invests in the liveability of the village; more information can be found on the website of the municipality of Rucphen.

Renting in Sint Willebrord: for families and those seeking peace, less so for commuters

With 1,540 households with children as the largest group and a dominant age category of 45 to 65 years, Sint Willebrord is clearly a village for established families and over-fifties. If you want a rental home with a garden and space for children, this is a logical choice. Education scores a 10 among residents, and that is a strong argument for young parents. For starters or singles looking for an affordable apartment, however, the supply is limited. The private sector offers little and waiting times for social housing are long. Those looking for more urban amenities or a wider rental supply would do better to look at the village of Rucphen itself or nearby Etten-Leur. Considering buying instead of renting?
