Rental homes in Someren

Renting in Someren: an honest picture of the local rental market

Someren is a municipality in the Peel region of North Brabant with over 20,000 residents, spread across the villages of Someren, Someren-Eind, Someren-Heide and Lierop. The housing market here is firmly in the hands of buyers: 72% of the more than 8,400 homes are owner-occupied, while 28% are rental properties. Of that rental share, about 20% is owned by housing associations (mainly Woonpartners) and 8% by other landlords. This means the private rental market is relatively small. In the past twelve months, only 13 homes have been rented out in the private sector, at an average rent of €1,603 per month. The range ran from €900 to €2,500 per month, with an average floor area of 237 m². These are substantial amounts for a rural municipality, but it is explained by the fact that these are often spacious family homes, not small apartments. Social housing is much more affordable, but waiting lists are long. Check the top of this page for current daily prices and available supply.

In terms of accessibility, Someren is about a ten-minute drive from Helmond and half an hour from Eindhoven. The A67 is easily accessible via the N266. Public transport is available with bus lines, but a car is really essential here. Employment in the region revolves around the Brainport economy around Eindhoven, the agricultural sector and local SMEs. With an average income of €35,600 and a labour participation rate of 69%, Someren is a municipality where people work, often in the surrounding cities.

The villages of Someren: where do you want to rent?

Someren is not a city with neighbourhoods that differ radically in character, but each village does have its own face. The municipality consists of four villages and extensive rural areas. Residents give the municipality an average score of 8.4 on Buurtje.nl, with notably high scores for safety (9.5) and accessibility (10.0). Below is an overview of the most interesting areas to look for a rental home.

Someren-Eind village: close-knit community with village character

Someren-Eind village scores an 8.5 from residents and is known for its active club life. It is a village where everyone knows each other and where you are quickly accepted as a newcomer, provided you also participate yourself. Residents particularly value the safety and education here. One resident describes it as a place where children still play outside and you can leave your front door open. For families seeking peace and a sense of community, this is a logical choice. The rural area around Someren-Eind also scores an 8.5 and offers spacious detached homes, although these rarely come onto the rental market.

Lierop village: small, green and quiet

Lierop is the smallest village in the municipality and scores an 8.4 from residents. This is the village for those who truly seek the countryside. Lierop borders the Strabrechtse Heide, one of the most beautiful nature reserves in Brabant. Facilities are limited: for groceries you drive to Someren or Heeze. But if you want to rent a home in an environment where you see deer crossing in the morning, then Lierop is your place. The rural area of Lierop is even quieter, with scattered farms and fields.

Someren village: the most facilities

Someren village is the main village with the largest range of shops, the weekly market, sports facilities and the town hall. Here you will find supermarkets, primary schools, GPs and the swimming pool. If you want to rent an apartment in Someren, the village offers the best chance, because some new-build projects have also been realised here. The atmosphere is village-like but complete: you don't have to leave the municipality for daily groceries. Someren-Heide lies south of the village and has its own character as a former reclamation village, with a somewhat more down-to-earth, independent community.

Who is a rental home in Someren suitable for?

Someren mainly attracts families and those aged 45 and over. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years, and most households are families with children. This is reflected in the housing supply: many single-family homes, few studios or rooms. As a starter or single person looking to rent an affordable home, the supply here is limited. The private sector focuses on the upper end of the market, with rents for a small apartment quickly exceeding €900. For social housing, you can register via Woonpartners, but expect significant waiting times.

Are you looking for an affordable home and want to be flexible regarding location? Then also look at rental homes in neighbouring municipality Asten, which is directly next to Someren and similarly village-like. Also Bergeijk and Bergen op Zoom could be interesting if you want a larger supply. Are you considering buying instead of renting? Then check out the homes for sale in Someren, because with an average WOZ value of €392,000 and current mortgage rates, buying can in some cases work out cheaper than renting in the private sector.

A practical tip: because the supply of rental homes in Someren is small, you need to respond quickly when something becomes available. Make sure you have your documents (employer's statement, payslips, ID) ready. For more information about living and registrations, you can visit the website of the municipality of Someren.
