Renting in Zundert: a rural municipality with a limited but special rental market
Zundert is a municipality in West Brabant with around 22,500 residents, known as the birthplace of Vincent van Gogh and for its annual Flower Parade. The housing market here is predominantly owner-occupied: 75% of the approximately 9,940 homes are owner-occupied, and only 25% are rental properties. Of that rental segment, 13% is owned by housing associations (social housing) and 12% concerns other landlords, including the private sector. This means that the supply of rental homes in Zundert is relatively small, especially if you are looking in the private sector.
In the past twelve months, only 12 homes have been rented out in the private sector (excluding social housing and room rentals). The average rent was €1,965 per month, with a range of €850 to €4,300. The average floor area was 216 m², indicating that these are mainly larger family homes and detached houses, not compact apartments. Anyone considering renting an apartment in Zundert will therefore have to search carefully, because the supply largely consists of single-family homes.

Rijsbergen, quiet village life on the outskirts
The village of Rijsbergen lies in the north of the municipality, closer to Breda. With a neighbourhood score of 7.8 based on 1 review, it scores slightly lower than Zundert village, but it offers a quieter living environment. Rijsbergen has its own primary school, sports clubs and a community centre. Its location is convenient for those who work in Breda: via the A58 you can be there in a quarter of an hour. The rental home supply here is even scarcer than in Zundert village, but when something becomes available, prices are generally slightly lower.
Smaller centres: Achtmaal, Klein Zundert and Wernhout
The municipality also includes the smaller villages of Achtmaal, Klein Zundert and Wernhout. These are true ribbon villages in the rural area, surrounded by tree nurseries and fields. Here you live truly rurally. The rental home supply here is minimal, but those seeking space and quiet will find exactly that. Klein Zundert is close to the Belgian border, which can be handy for cross-border workers. Wernhout has an active club life and a cosy village centre.

The accessibility score of 9.0 confirms this: the A58 and A16 are nearby, and the border crossing to Belgium is within cycling distance.
Be honest with yourself: if you are looking for a bustling city life with lots of cultural offerings and nightlife, Zundert is not your place. It is a municipality where tree nurseries are the largest sector and where the Flower Parade is the highlight of the year. For starters looking for an affordable rental home quickly, the supply is too limited and the private sector too expensive. In that case, register with housing associations for social housing, or check homes for sale in Zundert, where with the average WOZ value of €409,000 you have more choice. When renting in the private sector, always prepare your documents: employer's statement, payslips and an extract from the Personal Records Database (BRP).
