D’Ekker, Veldhoven
NeighbourhoodThis corner house on Lange Mees sits in a quiet part of Veldhoven, with a 322 m² plot that gives you more outdoor space than many homes in the area. At €525,000 it is the most expensive of the 12 homes currently for sale in D'Ekker and 16% above the neighbourhood's average asking price of €451,371, so it's on the high side, but the plot size and corner position are unusual. For context, end-of-terrace houses in Veldhoven typically sell for less per square metre.

Apart from the fact that I have unpleasant neighbours on both sides and that one of them (a couple) causes a lot of nuisance, when they are quiet it is lovely to live in such a senior home. The house is very dilapidated and has quite a few defects. The housing association does nothing about it.

About Lange Mees 60, Veldhoven
The asking price is 16% above the neighbourhood average of €451,371 and is the highest of the 12 homes currently for sale in D'Ekker. However, the 322 m² plot is larger than typical for the area, and corner houses often command a premium. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the extra garden space and the corner position.
The home has energy label C. That means it's reasonably efficient but not top-tier. In D'Ekker, about 20% of homes have label A+ and 33% have label A, so this home is slightly below the neighbourhood average in energy performance. You can expect moderate energy bills, but not the lowest possible.
D'Ekker has a good mix of ages, with many families with children and also a large group of older residents. There are several primary schools within walking distance, and the area is green with a park nearby. Residents describe it as cosy, pleasant and friendly. The crime rate is low, with 167 incidents per year across the whole neighbourhood.
Jumbo and Lidl are both within a few minutes' walk, and there are several other supermarkets within a ten-minute walk. A GP and a restaurant are also just around the corner. For secondary schools, the nearest is 2.5 km away. The train station is 6.9 km from the home, so you'll need a car or bus for rail connections.
In the past year, sold homes in D'Ekker took an average of 43 days to sell. That's a fairly typical timeframe for the area, suggesting a balanced market without extreme pressure. The current asking price is above average, so it may take a bit longer to find a buyer.
The plot is 322 m², which is generous for a corner house in this neighbourhood. The listing does not specify whether the garden is landscaped or how it is laid out, but the size gives you plenty of room for outdoor living, gardening or even extensions (subject to planning permission).
