Vessem: a village where everyone knows each other, and it shows
Vessem is not an anonymous residential area. It is a Kempen village with a recognisable village character, surrounded by agricultural landscape and forests. The largest group of residents is between 45 and 65 years old, and you can tell from the quiet streetscape. Children play outside, people greet each other at the baker's, and the evening rush hour here consists of a tractor blocking the road. That is no exaggeration, that is Vessem.
On the neighbourhood page of Vessem you will find reviews and scores from residents who live or have lived there. Residents appreciate the peace, space and social cohesion of the village. A recurring point in the reviews is the lack of amenities within walking distance: for daily groceries, a GP or a secondary school, you are dependent on the car. Those without a car find it difficult here. Bus connections are limited, and Eindhoven or Tilburg is a fifteen-minute drive. For some, that is just the right distance, for others it is a barrier.
The village consists of two sub-areas: Vessem-kom is the heart of the village with the church, the village square and most homes, while Verspreide huizen Vessem covers the rural area with detached homes on spacious plots. Those who really want to live in the countryside look in the latter area. Those who prefer to live within cycling distance of the primary school choose the centre. The atmosphere in both areas is rural and subdued, but not boring. Club life, carnival and local events keep the village lively.
Renting in Vessem: suitable if you are looking for peace, less so if you want flexibility
A rental home in Vessem is best suited for people who consciously choose a rural environment, have a fixed car and are not dependent on urban amenities. Families who want space, older two-person households and people who already spend a lot of time in the city for work generally feel at home here. For starters considering renting an apartment in Vessem: the supply is small and prices in the private sector are high. Those who want more choice can also look at Duizel, Wintelre or Steensel in the area. Considering a permanent move? Then also check the supply of homes for sale in Vessem, because 77% of homes here are owner-occupied.
