Helmond rent: houses 20% below Eindhoven
Helmond rent for a house averages €1,646 a month, 20% less than the €2,053 asked for a house in Eindhoven, about 15 minutes away by public transit. Based on over 500 house listings tracked by RentHunter in Helmond since February 2024, a house for rent in Helmond offers 126 m² on average, and 80% of listings ask between €1,187 and €1,995.
A Helmond house is a home with outdoor space: 63% of listings mention a garden, 53% mention parking and 5% mention a balcony. That is the profile of a family house, with room for children, bikes and a car. Students rarely look here, with 1% of listings aimed at them, while 6% of listings target expats.
Helmond is a Noord-Brabant town of 90,603 people that grew from textile mills along the Zuid-Willemsvaart canal and now hosts the Automotive Campus. Helmond houses for rent sit in the districts around the old center, and several of those districts have a station of their own.
Helmond house districts, Brandevoort to Stiphout
Helmond houses with gardens sit mostly in the districts built around the old center, each with its own route toward Eindhoven. Between Helmond and Eindhoven, the houses for rent in Nuenen, Gerwen en Nederwetten add a village option, in the place where Vincent van Gogh lived and painted from 1883 to 1885.
Brandevoort, family homes with their own station
Brandevoort is the newest large district of Helmond, built in a traditional style with its own station, Helmond Brandevoort, on the line to Eindhoven. A family house there keeps the train a short walk or bike ride away. It suits families with school-age children and a parent who commutes by rail.
Stiphout, the former village to the north
Stiphout is a former village in the north of Helmond, now a district of quiet streets lined with family houses and gardens. A house for rent in Stiphout sits further from the railway, so it suits couples who work from home part of the week or drive to work.
Brouwhuis, the east side with a station
Brouwhuis is a district on the east side of Helmond with its own station, Helmond Brouwhuis, and streets of family homes set around green spaces. It suits young families who want a rental house with the station within cycling distance.
Helmond has its own cube houses, designed by Piet Blom next to the 't Speelhuis theatre and built before the better known ones in Rotterdam. The center around them is apartment territory; for a house with garden, look at the districts along the railway, where the Helmond, 't Hout, Brouwhuis and Brandevoort stations keep a second car optional.
Helmond house prices: 3 bedrooms at €1,578
Helmond house prices barely rise with size: a 3-bedroom house averages €1,578 a month across 207 listings, below the €1,649 of a 2-bedroom house (95 listings) and the €1,600 of a 1-bedroom house (33 listings). A 4-bedroom house averages €1,707 across 154 listings, so a family that needs a fourth bedroom pays little extra.
RentHunter figures give the current price level: houses first seen in the 90 days to October 2026 have a median asking rent of €1,513, under the €1,646 average. Against houses for rent in Eindhoven at €2,053 on average, a rental house in Helmond leaves room in the budget. When a whole house is more than you need, the apartments for rent in Helmond and the rooms in Helmond cover smaller budgets.
The average deposit is 1.18 months of rent, under the legal cap of two months of base rent for leases signed since 1 July 2023. 78% of listings state that registration at the address is possible; ask before signing, since registration at the gemeente Helmond gives a newcomer from abroad a BSN. A first registration from abroad is by appointment, and a move within the Netherlands is registered online with DigiD within 5 days.
Commuting from Helmond
Helmond has four stations on the railway between Eindhoven and Venlo: Helmond, Helmond 't Hout, Helmond Brouwhuis and Helmond Brandevoort. For anyone looking at a house for rent in Helmond, a garden district and a train are rarely far apart, and the A270 links Helmond with Eindhoven by road.
Eindhoven in 15 minutes
Eindhoven is about 15 minutes from Helmond by public transit (14 km), close enough to cycle on a dry day. It is the daily route to the Brainport employers and to TU Eindhoven, which is why most Helmond house hunters compare both cities.
Utrecht in 58, Rotterdam in 78 minutes
Utrecht is about 58 minutes from Helmond by public transit (94 km), and Rotterdam about 78 minutes (118 km). Both suit a hybrid week with two or three office days rather than a daily commute.
Amsterdam in 88, Den Haag in 94 minutes
Amsterdam is about 88 minutes from Helmond (138 km) and Den Haag about 94 minutes (140 km). Families who keep a Randstad job make that trip once or twice a week and put the rent difference into a bigger house.
Helmond commuters who start after the morning rush can take NS Dal Voordeel, a subscription with 40% off train fares outside peak hours.
