Moerdijk rentals: houses at apartment prices
Moerdijk is not one town but a municipality of villages, from Zevenbergen and Klundert to Fijnaart and the fortress town of Willemstad, home to 36,944 people on the Brabant side of the Hollands Diep. Based on over 200 listings tracked by RentHunter in Moerdijk since February 2024, the average rent is €946 a month for an average 69 m², and 80% of listings ask between €467 and €1,600.
Most people who rent in Moerdijk work in Rotterdam, Breda or the large port and industrial area that carries the Moerdijk name, and they come for more space per euro. Imagine renting a terraced house with a garden in Zevenbergen, cycling to the station for the Sprinter to Dordrecht, and paying less than the €1,411 an average apartment costs in Breda.
The whole country knows the name from the Moerdijk bridges, and "onder de Moerdijk" is still Dutch shorthand for the south of carnival and the soft g. For a renter that line is practical: north of the bridges lie the Rotterdam jobs, south of them the Brabant rents.

Village life between Rotterdam and Breda
Moerdijk is a municipality of villages and small towns in the polders between the Hollands Diep and the A16 and A17 motorways. Families who grew up here, commuters to Rotterdam and Breda, and workers at the port and industrial area make up most of the renters. Each village has its own centre, so where you rent decides how much you need a car.
Zevenbergen station and the Rotterdam line
Zevenbergen has the municipality's train station, with Sprinters towards Dordrecht and Roosendaal, and Dordrecht is where most travellers change for Rotterdam. Renters without a car do best within cycling distance of that station; from Willemstad or Fijnaart, the bus to the station or to Breda takes longer. Etten-Leur, just south of Zevenbergen, has its own station on the line to Breda and is worth a look if Moerdijk has nothing in your budget.
Willemstad's ramparts and the Hollands Diep
Daily life in Moerdijk revolves around water and polders: Willemstad has star-shaped fortress walls and a harbour on the Hollands Diep, and the dikes along the water make long walking and cycling routes. Imagine a Sunday ride from a rented house in Klundert along the dike to Willemstad's harbour. To the west lies Halderberge, with Oudenbosch and Hoeven, the natural second search area with villages of its own.
Ask about the deposit and registration
The average deposit in Moerdijk is 0.59 months of rent, but always check the amount in the lease: for leases signed since 1 July 2023 it may not exceed two months of base rent. 71% of listings state that registration is possible; you need it to register with the municipality within 5 days of moving, so ask for it in writing if the listing does not say.
Commuting from Moerdijk
Commuting from Moerdijk works best by car or by train from Zevenbergen, with Rotterdam as the main destination and Breda close by. The times below are door to door by public transport between town centres.
Rotterdam in about 66 minutes
Rotterdam is about 66 minutes from Moerdijk by public transport, over 40 km. The usual route is the Sprinter from Zevenbergen to Dordrecht and a faster train on to Rotterdam Centraal, which makes a daily commute workable if you live near the station.
Den Haag in about 85 minutes
Den Haag is about 85 minutes from Moerdijk (62 km), via Dordrecht and Rotterdam. For a government or office job in Den Haag, Moerdijk rents are a reason to accept the longer trip a few days a week.
Eindhoven, Utrecht and Amsterdam for office days
Eindhoven is about 113 minutes from Moerdijk (82 km), Utrecht about 115 minutes (96 km) and Amsterdam about 142 minutes (125 km). Those trips suit an occasional office day rather than a daily commute.

Moerdijk renting questions with real figures
What are rent prices in Moerdijk?
The average rent in Moerdijk is €946 a month across all types, based on over 200 listings tracked since February 2024, with 80% between €467 and €1,600. An apartment averages €966 and a house €968. The current level is a little lower: the median asking rent of homes first seen on RentHunter in the 90 days to November 2026 is €796.
Is renting in Moerdijk cheaper than in Breda?
Apartments in Moerdijk average €966 a month against €1,411 in Breda, which makes them 32% cheaper. They are smaller, at 60 m² on average, and you pay for the saving in travel time, since Breda is a bus or car ride away.
Where else can I look near Moerdijk?
Halderberge to the west and Etten-Leur to the south are the natural alternatives to Moerdijk, with village centres of their own and the same motorways. Dijk en Waard is also a municipality of merged villages, but it lies in Noord-Holland near Alkmaar, so it only helps if your work is there. Next step: set an alert for several municipalities at once, so you see new listings the day they appear.
Are there rooms or social housing in Moerdijk?
Rooms are rare on Moerdijk's private market and do not show up as a separate category in these listings, so single renters usually take a small apartment. Social housing goes through a housing corporation, with registration and a waiting time, and is not part of the private rentals compared here. The corporation and the municipality publish the current waiting times.
