What does a rental property cost in the Veldhoven district?
The Veldhoven district has a housing stock of nearly 12,900 homes, 36% of which are rental properties. This is a mix of housing association properties (27% of the total) and private sector (around 8%). The average WOZ value is €414,000, which is slightly below the municipal average of €442,000. This makes this district relatively more affordable than some other parts of the municipality of Veldhoven. In the private sector, the average rent over the past year was €1,660 per month, with a range of €527 to €4,000. The average size of those homes was 110 m². Note: these are annual figures for the private sector, excluding social housing. At the top of this page you will always find the current daily prices and the current supply.
With an average disposable income of €38,000 per household, a rental home in the private sector is not within everyone's reach. The upper end of the market in particular is aimed at dual-income couples or expats working in the Eindhoven Brainport region. However, the lower end of the range also offers opportunities for starters looking to rent an apartment in Veldhoven.
Veldhoven according to residents: an 8.0 with caveats
On Buurtje.nl, residents give the Veldhoven district an average score of 8.0 based on 11 reviews. Education (8.5), accessibility (8.4) and amenities (8.4) score notably high. These are not surprising figures if you know the district: shops within walking distance, several primary schools in the area, and via the Kempenbaan you are quickly on the A2 or A67 towards Eindhoven. Resident Nick Biemans sums it up succinctly: "I've been living here for a few years and don't have much to complain about. Shops are very close, schools are nearby too. There's plenty in the neighbourhood."
Yet it's not all roses. The score for housing (7.5) is the lowest, and this is reflected in the reviews. A resident from the Goretti neighbourhood writes that her senior home is "very dilapidated" and that the housing association does little about overdue maintenance. That is something to consider if you rent through a housing association. In Cobbeek en Centrum, there is also nuisance from loitering youths and cyclists, as resident Mh indicates. On the other hand, there is the experience of Margo in Zeelst, who was taken in by neighbours and local café owners after her divorce: "They kept an eye on me, neighbours are pleasant." That says something about the social cohesion you can still find in parts of this district.
The district is generally quiet, with a safety score of 7.9. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years (over 7,500 residents), and almost a quarter of the population is 65-plus. This gives the district a calm, established character. Single-person households form the largest group (4,805), which aligns with the supply of apartments and smaller homes.

Apart from the fact that I have unpleasant neighbours on both sides and that one of them (a couple) causes a lot of nuisance, when they are quiet it is lovely to live in such a senior home. The house is very dilapidated and has quite a few defects. The housing association does nothing about it.
Auto-translated to English by AINice, after my divorce in 2015, I was well taken care of, because Zeelst has many cafés, I know some owners and they kept an eye out for living space. Eventually through them I got a converted office. They kept an eye on me, neighbours are pleasant... eventually through urgency I got a home, again in this neighbourhood... I live here very pleasantly and feel quite safe. Strips of green are well maintained and I'm close to a park
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's wonderful living here. Everything is well organised, but the only problem is the cyclists and loitering youths in the centre.
Auto-translated to English by AII've been living here for a few years and don't have much to complain about. Shops are very close by, schools are nearby too. There's plenty in the neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AIFine, really. Everyone is nice and friendly. Just sometimes a few strange things.
Auto-translated to English by AIHaving a mentally disturbed person living below me, I don't enjoy living here. I am constantly harassed over every little thing and she keeps ringing my doorbell. The housing association, police, and municipality know about her but do nothing. First there have to be victims before they intervene. I am already working on a house swap; I will jump for joy when I am out of here.
Auto-translated to English by AICosy neighbourhood barbecues, you know everyone, junk fun babysitting, large houses and gardens, 3 minutes by bike and you're in the village with lots of shops and 2 primary schools, and a bit further you're in the city with 3 secondary schools, very large forests, lakes and riding schools nearby, and on the open field with a few trees hut-building competitions are held and other activities, it's absolutely great
Auto-translated to English by AIVery cosy and pleasant environment, have been living here for 3 years. Shops nearby. Nice green and friendly people. We come from Eindhoven
