TongelreRent Prices 2026
Our Verdict
"Bougie"
With a median price of €22.25/m², the neighborhood analysis confirms this area has officially hit BOUGIE status. Our m² stats indicate a market that has matured rapidly, shifting from an overlooked suburb to a high-demand zone for those who prioritize silence over social proximity. The investment outlook remains aggressive because the supply of spacious, green-adjacent property near the center is essentially capped.
The Vibe:Tongelre is where the city's concrete gridlock finally gives way to actual grass, centered around the historic 't Hofke square. It’s less about industrial metal and more about renovated brickwork, with the Dommel valley providing a physical buffer from the city's high-rises. You are trading a five-minute walk to the central station for a backyard and significantly fewer sirens.

Locals Ask
Is parking a nightmare like in the city center?
Not even close; you can actually park your car here without a tactical plan or a €300 monthly permit.
Why is the rent range so massive (€16.5 - €30/m²)?
The low end covers dated apartments near Insulindelaan, while the €30 mark is for high-spec villa renovations near the park.
Is it realistic to commute to ASML from here?
It’s a bit of a haul through the city ring; you’ll want a fast e-bike unless you enjoy sitting in traffic on the N2.
What’s the deal with the 'village' feel?
Places like 't Hofke still operate like a small town, so expect neighbors to actually know your name and notice when you leave.
Are there any decent places to eat locally?
You’ve got the Wasven gasterij for organic bites, but for anything high-end or late-night, you’re still cycling back toward the center.
