Rental homes in Wildackers, Goirle

Renting in Wildackers: housing association homes dominate, private sector is scarce

Of the approximately 1,090 homes in Wildackers, 40% are in the rental sector. That sounds generous, but the vast majority (36% of the total stock) is owned by housing associations. The private sector is therefore limited: only about 5% of homes fall under other landlords. Anyone looking for a rental home in Wildackers outside social housing will find that supply is thin. The average WOZ value in Wildackers is €326,000, which is clearly lower than the municipal average of €410,000 for Goirle as a whole. This reflects the character of the neighbourhood: solid, affordable, but without the allure of more expensive areas. For current rental prices and the number of available homes, you can consult the overview at the top of this page, which is updated daily. Those considering buying will find more choice via homes for sale in Wildackers.

Wildackers: quiet and ageing, with a down-to-earth character

Wildackers is not a neighbourhood that stands out for its special architecture or a bustling shopping centre. It is a residential area in the classic sense: quiet streets, plenty of greenery, and residents who largely leave each other alone. The largest age group is 65-plus (over 645 of the 2,305 residents), followed by the 45-65 category. That says something about the pace and atmosphere here. Young families and twenty-somethings are clearly in the minority.

On the neighbourhood page of Wildackers, residents give the area an average score of 6.3 out of 10. That is honest: not bad, but not enthusiastic either. Safety (7.3) and greenery (7.3) score best, accessibility stands at 7.0. Amenities (5.0) and beauty (5.3) are the weakest points. One resident succinctly describes it as "Fine, really" and adds: "I don't have trouble with anyone, I get along with everyone." That is perhaps the most apt summary of Wildackers: no conflicts, no excitement, just living. Other reviews are less positive and remain at 5.1 and 5.9, indicating that not everyone finds the neighbourhood pleasant.

In terms of amenities, Wildackers is not a self-sufficient neighbourhood. For daily shopping and more shops, you quickly have to rely on other parts of Goirle. The nearby Goirle-Centrum offers more in that regard. Also De Groote Akkers is a similar residential area in the municipality worth considering. There is plenty of greenery in the area, and accessibility is rated as reasonable by residents, although Wildackers is primarily a car-dependent neighbourhood. More about the municipality can be found on the official website of the municipality of Goirle.

Renting in Wildackers: suitable for those seeking peace, less so for those wanting liveliness

Renting in Wildackers best suits people who value peace and space over urban liveliness: the elderly, quiet single-person households (accounting for 390 of the households), and people who consciously choose an affordable residential area outside the centre. For starters considering renting an apartment in Wildackers, the supply in the private sector is limited and competition for social housing is high. Those looking for more dynamism or dependent on amenities within walking distance would be better off looking at Grobbendonck or Abcoven. For those undecided between renting and buying: the lower WOZ level makes Wildackers relatively accessible on the purchase market.
