Rental homes in Weert

Renting in Weert: what does it cost and what can you expect?

Weert is a medium-sized municipality in Central Limburg with over 51,000 residents and a housing stock of around 23,600 homes. Of that total, approximately 34% are rental properties, the majority of which (23%) are owned by housing corporations. The remaining 11% are private landlords and free-sector rentals. Homeownership dominates at 65%, but there is certainly an active rental market. In the free sector (excluding social housing and room rentals), around 170 homes were rented out in the past twelve months, at an average rent of €1,454 per month. The range is wide: from €450 for smaller apartments to €5,000 for spacious detached houses. The average floor area of these free-sector homes is 399 m², indicating that there are relatively many large family homes in the supply.

Weert has its own train station with direct intercity connections to Eindhoven (around 25 minutes) and Roermond. The A2 motorway runs right past the city, attracting commuters to both the Brainport region and Maastricht. Major employers in the area include Weert-based companies in manufacturing and logistics, plus the proximity of the Eindhoven tech cluster. The average disposable income is €35,500, and the labour participation rate is 65%. That is decent, but not above average, which partly explains why the rental market here is more affordable than in the Randstad.

Neighbourhoods and districts: where do you want to live in Weert?

Weert is compact enough to reach the centre quickly from anywhere, but the atmosphere varies considerably by district. Residents give the municipality an average score of 8.0 on Buurtje.nl, with notably high scores for housing (8.3), education (8.3) and safety (8.1). But not every neighbourhood scores the same. Below are the main districts at a glance.

Groenewoud, the quiet favourite

With a neighbourhood score of 9.8 out of 10, the Groenewoud district is the best-rated neighbourhood in Weert. Residents appreciate its green character, tranquillity and good accessibility to amenities. It is a typical family district with single-family homes and plenty of greenery. Finding a rental home in Groenewoud requires patience, as supply is limited and demand is high.

Tungelroy, village living near the city

The village of Tungelroy scores a 9.5 among residents. Here you truly live rurally, with meadows around you, yet you are within ten minutes of Weert's centre. For those seeking peace and space and who do not need to be within walking distance of shops daily, this is an excellent option.

Molenakker and Kampershoek, spacious and child-friendly

The combined district of Molenakker and Kampershoek scores an 8.5. This is one of the newer expansion districts on the north side of Weert, with wide streets, playgrounds and relatively many rental homes. Families with young children feel at home here due to the proximity of primary schools and sports facilities.

Closer to the centre you will find Graswinkel (7.9), a mixed district with both social housing and free-sector rentals. The Moesel district (7.6) is one of the older neighbourhoods, with its own village character and an active club life. Residents cite community spirit as a major plus point. Boshoven scores a 7.3 based on three reviews. Here you live affordably, but residents note that some parts of the district are in need of renovation. In Laar and Hushoven (7.1), the atmosphere varies: one part is quiet and green, the other busier due to the proximity of main roads.

At the lower end of the scores is Keent with a 6.7. That is not a bad score, but residents indicate that amenities are more limited and there is less buzz than in other districts. For starters looking for an affordable apartment to rent in Weert, Keent may actually be interesting because rental prices are lower there.

Who is renting a home in Weert suitable for?

Weert attracts a broad audience. Commuters who work in Eindhoven but do not want to pay Eindhoven rental prices find a good alternative here. With the intercity train you are there quickly, and the A2 offers a direct road connection. The largest age group in Weert is 45-65 years (over 14,000 residents), and almost a quarter of households are single-person. This means there is demand for both spacious family homes and compact apartments for singles.

Are you a starter? Keep in mind that the free sector averages €1,454 per month. That is quite a lot for a single person with a modal income. Therefore, also register with housing corporation Wonen Limburg via the website of the municipality of Weert for information on social rental homes. Waiting times for social housing in Limburg are shorter than in the Randstad, but still expect several years. If you prefer to buy, you can visit the page with homes for sale in Weert. The average WOZ value is €330,000, which is within reach for many dual-income households.

Expats and international workers at companies in the Brainport region sometimes consciously choose Weert because of the lower rental prices and the green, quiet character. However, keep in mind that the level of amenities (score: 7.4) is more limited than in a large city. For extensive nightlife or international offerings in shops and restaurants, you drive to Eindhoven.
