Vught is a green town of 26,183 inhabitants in Noord-Brabant, on the southern edge of 's-Hertogenbosch, between the Vughtse Heide and the Dommel valley. Its apartment market is a grown-up one: 22% of listings target expats and only 6% target students, so most flats and apartments in Vught go to working couples, commuters and people who leave a family house for something smaller.

The key connection is the train to Eindhoven, about 27 minutes door to door by public transit over 28 km, which puts the Brainport region within a daily commute. Utrecht is about 62 minutes away, Rotterdam about 72, Den Haag about 98 and Amsterdam about 112.

1. Average rent: €1,194 a month
   The average apartment in Vught rents for €1,194 a month, and 80% of listings ask between €764 and €1,650. That spread of almost €900 means a careful search pays off: the same 64 m² can cost several hundred euros more or less depending on the building, the finish and whether it comes furnished. For a luxury apartment, budget for the top of the range, around €1,650.
2. One or two bedrooms: about €1,168
   A one-bedroom apartment in Vught averages €1,168 a month (346 listings) and a two-bedroom €1,167 (187 listings), so the second bedroom costs nothing extra on average. A three-bedroom apartment averages €1,309 (40 listings). For a couple who needs a home office, a two-bedroom flat for rent in Vught is the best value on the market.
3. €63 a month less than Tilburg
   Apartments in Vught are 5% cheaper than in Tilburg, where the average is €1,257 a month, a saving of about €63 a month or €756 a year. Tilburg has far more stock, and its furnished apartments in Tilburg are the nearest large pool if Vught has nothing furnished at your move date.
4. 64 m², with a balcony in 56% of listings
   The average apartment in Vught measures 64 m². 56% of listings mention a balcony and 16% a garden, so outdoor space usually means a balcony rather than a lawn. 47% mention parking, a high share that reflects a town where many residents still drive to work in Den Bosch, Eindhoven or Tilburg.
5. Furnished: 39% of listings
   39% of apartment listings in Vught are furnished, a high share for a town of this size that matches the 22% of listings aimed at expats. The rest are mostly gestoffeerd, which in Dutch means floors, curtains and light fittings are in place but there is no furniture, or kaal, an empty shell where you lay the floor yourself.

Vught's apartments are spread over a compact town centre, the streets around the railway station and, since 2021, the village of Helvoirt, which joined the municipality next to the older village of Cromvoirt. Everything in the town itself is within cycling distance of the Taalstraat. If you need a wider choice, the apartments in 's-Hertogenbosch start just across the northern border.

Vught centre is built around the Taalstraat, the main shopping street, with supermarkets, bakeries and cafés within walking distance. Apartments here are found above shops and in newer blocks close to the street, and they suit downsizers and couples who want to do daily errands on foot. Expect less parking than the town average of 47%, so ask whether a space or a permit comes with the flat.

Vught station lies on the line between 's-Hertogenbosch and Eindhoven, one stop south of Den Bosch, and the streets around it are the first choice for train commuters. Apartments near the station suit expats who work in the Eindhoven region and want to live without a car. A furnished flat within walking distance of the platform is the profile that the 22% expat-targeted listings describe most often.

Helvoirt is a village west of Vught town that has been part of the municipality since 2021, so a listing with a Vught address can sit in a quiet village street. Apartments are rarer here than in the town, and the village suits renters who work from home or drive. Families who need more room and a garden will find more choice among the houses for rent in Vught.

Renting an apartment in Vught follows national rental law, and the checks that matter most locally are registration with the gemeente Vught, the size of the deposit and the type of contract.

Registration at a Vught apartment is possible in 79% of listings, and you need it for a BSN, a GP and benefits. You register with the gemeente Vught within 5 days of moving: by appointment for a first registration from abroad, online with DigiD for a move within the Netherlands. When a listing does not say, ask the landlord to confirm it in writing before you sign.

The average deposit for an apartment in Vught is 1 month of rent, so €1,194 at the average rent, well under the legal cap of two months of base rent for leases signed since 1 July 2023. Many landlords ask for a gross income of around three times the rent, about €3,580 a month at the average, plus an employer's statement and a recent payslip.

Temporary leases on Vught apartments are now the exception: since 1 July 2024 a rental contract is open-ended by default, with fixed terms only in cases such as student and youth contracts. If you only need a flat for a few months, for a project in Eindhoven or Den Bosch, say so in your first message, because a furnished apartment let to an expat on a short assignment is one of the few legal routes.
