Houses for Rent in Best, Netherlands

Renting a house in Best means getting genuine suburban space at a meaningful discount compared to nearby Eindhoven. Based on over 100 historic house listings tracked in Best on RentHunter, the average monthly rent sits at €1,844, roughly 10% below Eindhoven's average of €2,053. The typical rental house here spans around 128 m², and with 67% of listings including a garden, Best is clearly oriented around family living with outdoor space rather than compact city-centre flats.

Best is a Noord-Brabant municipality of about 29,000 residents wedged between Eindhoven and Tilburg. That position is one of its biggest draws for families and professionals: you get the quieter pace and green streetscapes of a Brabant market town while staying within practical reach of two major employment centres. The housing stock skews strongly toward three-bedroom terraced and semi-detached houses built between the 1970s and 1990s, which makes this one of the more family-oriented rental markets in the region.

• Centrum Best: walkable core, mixed post-war housingThe centre of Best clusters around the weekly Wednesday and Saturday markets on the Mgr. Bekkersplein, with supermarkets, a library, and the main bus connections all within easy walking distance. Houses here tend to be older terraced properties from the 1950s and 1960s, with smaller gardens but easy access to daily amenities. Good for renters who want to minimise car use.
• Naastenbest: quiet family streets, 1970s–1980s semi-detachedNaastenbest is the residential expansion that grew around Best in the 1970s and 1980s, characterised by broad streets, spacious front gardens, and a mix of terraced and semi-detached homes. This is the neighbourhood most associated with the Brabant family ideal: your own front door, a back garden for the kids, and neighbours who wave in the morning. Primary schools and a sports complex are close by.
• Breeven: newer development, larger plots near the Dommel valleyThe Breeven area on the western edge of Best borders the Dommel river valley and the surrounding nature reserve, offering genuinely green surroundings without leaving the municipality. Houses here tend to be larger, sometimes detached, and built more recently. Renters who prioritise outdoor space, cycling routes into nature, and a quieter street environment tend to gravitate toward this end of Best.
• Aarle and south Best: industrial edge, practical for commutersThe southern and eastern edges of Best are closer to the industrial estates and the main road links toward Eindhoven, making them practical for professionals who drive to work in Eindhoven's tech and manufacturing sector. Housing here is less expensive on average, and the proximity to the A2 and A58 motorways is a real plus if your daily commute is by car. Less scenic than the Dommel side, but highly functional.

The average rent for a house in Best is €1,844/month, with the range running from €879 to €7,500 at the top end. That wide range reflects both the entry-level two-bedroom terraces and the occasional large detached property or fully furnished executive home. For most family renters, the realistic target is €1,500–€2,200 for a three or four-bedroom house in reasonable condition.

One thing that stands out about the Best market compared to Eindhoven is the stronger supply of houses with gardens and parking included in the asking price. In Eindhoven, service costs and parking often come as add-ons; in Best, the all-in price is more common. Always check the advertised price carefully: confirm whether it includes service costs (servicekosten), and clarify whether the utility connections (gas, electricity, water) are pre-arranged or need to be set up independently.

For families considering the wider Noord-Brabant region, it is worth comparing Best with houses for rent in Eindhoven or houses for rent in Tilburg to see how the price-to-space ratio compares. If you want to explore all accommodation types in Best before committing to a house, apartments in Best and rooms in Best are also worth a look.

• Utrecht (~46 min, 22 km)The fastest public transit connection from Best is surprisingly to Utrecht, around 46 minutes for 22 km. This makes Best an option worth considering for people working remotely or visiting Utrecht regularly.
• Amsterdam (~73 min, 63 km)Amsterdam is about 73 minutes by public transit. Feasible for occasional trips but demanding for a daily commute; most people making this journey would prefer to use the car or combine train legs.
• Den Haag (~85 min, 90 km)Den Haag is about 85 minutes by public transit. A realistic option for hybrid workers who commute two or three days per week, but not for daily commuters.
• Rotterdam (~86 min, 78 km)Rotterdam takes around 86 minutes by public transit. Similar to Den Haag in terms of commuting practicality; fine for a once or twice a week visit but not a sensible daily journey.
• Eindhoven (~99 min by transit, faster by car or bike)The public transit figure to Eindhoven (99 minutes) looks deceptively long for a city just a few kilometres away: it reflects routing via Den Bosch rather than a direct connection. By car or bicycle, Eindhoven is much closer, around 15–20 minutes by car along the A2. Most Best residents working in Eindhoven commute by car or bike rather than by train.
